- This video shows a V-03 rating flight, which demonstrates your ability to perform transitions of the LAX Class Bravo airspace. As briefed in part one of the video, I'm using the Coastal Route transition for the northbound leg, and then the Mini-Route transition for the southbound leg. If you want to try flying the rating using my exact route with GPS, the waypoints I used on my ForeFlight flight planner were

Thanks, Mark. Just passed the V-3 on my first try and your video had a lot to do with it.
Another excellent video. Great job!
Well done, Mark. Great instructional video series for the V-03.
It's done with a brilliant little application by Jacob Eiting -- google fsxflight for details. To get ForeFlight display onto my PC I'm using another nice little app called 'Airserver' that will take an Airplay feed. It's really only needed if you're doing a recording -- otherwise you can just directly use the iPad itself.
Hi Mark, just want to let you know that I really do appreciate your calm, clear, concise, confident, teaching style, which I believe is second to none in my opinion. Also, I'm just wondering if you happen to have a ""Transcript"" handy of the above training tutorial, "PilotEdge V-03 Rating - Advanced VFR - Part 2" ??? ... I know it would sure come in handy when I go to take my V-03 exam in several days. Thanks! Mark.

Joe -- I'm really sorry, but I don't have a transcript of the flight. What you might do is make yourself a flight plan using something like skyvector.com, print it out, then make notes for yourself about what should be happening at various points along the way. This is actually a pretty calm flight with only truly busy period occurring as you descend from the San Fernando Valley into the VFR corridor for the second Class B transition. Practice just that part of the flight a few times offline, noting to yourself when you should be hearing what clearances ("I'll call Santa Monica tower here, and should expect to hear *this"; I'll expect them to switch me to LAX tower about *here*", and so forth).
+Mark Hargrove Will do, Mark. Thanks for the great tip! I really appreciate it. :):)
Hi Mark, I'm hoping you have not made your last Flight Sim tutorial! As vast as CZcams is your tutorials are vastly superior to the others out there!
Hey Mark, how do you deal with people commenting on certain things that they have noticed that may/may not be incorrect.... ? For me, that would kill the massive effort you put into these selfless videos.... Your teaching skills are superb and unique, you would make a top class flight instructor..... Much Thanks, & More Please !!!
It's harder than I expected to split my attention between narrating a video and flying the simulator, so I find that I do make little mistakes from time to time. Often, the first I even know that I did something silly is when a viewer points it out. When the 'point out' of the error comes with a question ("why did you do X?") I'm happy to respond -- and sometimes that response is "well, because I screwed up." If the comment comes without an associated question I tend to just ignore them.
Thanks for the kind words, btw!
Good advice, ill use that going forward.... Thanks
Great video, thanks for putting it together! :-)
Thank you
I learned a great deal
As other viewer said, GREAT video!
Thank you so much for it!
Btw, are you CFII?
Audio signal for outter marker 5 miles out in line from runway are dash's / middle marker 2.5 miles dash dots / inner marker dots. Also it seems like a good idea to ask for full runway in case of power failure.
Excellent tutorial Mark! I hope you will post some new ones soon! Any in the works?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
My simulator is currently undergoing surgery (I'm moving to Prepar3D v2.1 and doing some hardware upgrades), but I definitely have plans for some additional videos when I'm back up and going!
Mark Hargrove
Thanks for the reply Mark, hope you're back up and running soon. Also it's interesting that you're moving to Prepar3D. Currently I'm simless as I save up and your videos are both very informative and entertaining. I like your slow, detailed and methodical presentation. :-)
Hi Mark, I'm really enjoying these videos even though they were made a couple of years ago. Quick question - did you switch frequencies to torrance tower without being released from hawthorne first? Why didn't you need authorization? 36:25
Johan Johansson
I'm now a bit rusty on the procedure, but I'm pretty sure I don't need to be explicitly released once the transition was approved by Hawthorne tower. The tower control zones there are literally touching each other and the Hawthorne controller knew I was landing Torrance and therefore what to expect me to be doing.
Mark Hargrove Yes I realize you might be :) Well he did actually say transition approved.. Thanks.
Hey Mark, a quick question. ATC used to say "taxi into position and hold"; now they say "line up and wait". Do you know why this change was made and how long ago?
I know it's a silly little matter but it's got my curiosity up.
It changed on September 30, 2010, when the FAA adopted the ICAO phraseology that had been standard in Europe for a long time. The fact that there were two different "standards" for this was deemed to be contributing to runway incursions. I don't know why they picked on vs. the other.
Hi mark
I wonder what kind of airplane did you used from FSX that has a GPS 500 as part of the instrument panel.
Is this GPS usable ?
Do you have any video using this GPS in IFR conditions?
Thanks in advance for your help
There is a stock Garmin GNS 530 that comes with FSX in some airplanes, but its underlying database is a decade or more out of date and it has limited functionality compared to the real thing. I have two replacements -- one from RealityXP that I use with FSX, and one from Mindstar Aviation that I use with P3D. I cannot remember if I was using the stock GNS 530 or the RXP version in the cockpit when I made this video -- if you watched the video you'll see I don't really use the GPS for navigation at all for this particular flight. I would NOT try to use the stock GNS 530 on an IFR flight -- the database is WAY too old, but I wouldn't hesitate to use the RXP or Mindstar Aviation version (both of which have much more up-to-date databases. Indeed, the GNS 430/530 (you get both) from Mindstar can be updated quarterly). I have a video where I use a G1000 for an IFR flight (see PilotEdge IFR Workshop 4 Companion Video - KSNA ILS Rwy 19 Full Approach), but not where I use a GNS 530.
Hi Mark, can you share the program you are using for the SkyVector/Visual charts in the left down corner?
Sure! I'm using AirServer to mirror my iPad running ForeFlight. I have a multi-PC setup for my simulator, and run AirServer on my "left 90-degree" view which is driven by one of the PCs in my setup. I'm running the Camtasia screen capture application on both my primary panel display and on the slave display with AirServer. When I'm flying, the overlay you see isn't on my primary panel -- it's on a display to my left (and of course, on the iPad). When I put the video together, I overlay the captured Foreflight display on the panel display as appropriate to the situation.
Mark Hargrove IS a very nice setup.. I'm evaluating ForeFlight, is a fantastic tool, even for simulators like me. Thanks for the reply.
Shouldn't the white triangle on the HSI switch to a "From" indication right when you fly over LAX?
Also, you didn't update your altimeter to the new values. :P
How are you able to push your sim into ForeFlight? Is that a feature of the app or something you've created on your own?
hi Mark when you say you are on the 128 radial your actually on the 308 radial in bound and on course 128 its not the same
Yes, I'm well aware of the difference between what radial from VOR I'm flying vs. the heading I'm flying. If I said it incorrectly on video -- well, you try narrating a video while flying sometime. :-)

Hi mark does this pilot Edge comes with the moving maps?
No, not in the way you probably mean. There is a real-time map that shows how many other pilots are currently logged in (and where they are), but it's not useful for monitoring your own flight. There are a number of moving-map add-ons for both FSX/P3D and X-Plane, though.
thanks for getting back to me could you recommend one please?for x-plane though please
I don't use X-Plane, but if you google for 'x-plane moving map' you'll find a number of results.
what will be the best moving map for fsx please
There are a number of them. I personally use ForeFlight, but that's an expensive solution requiring an iPad, a payware plugin, and an annual subscription. Before that I used Aivlasoft EFB (payware). I have read good things about Plan G (www.tasoftware.co.uk/planG.htm) and FlightSim Commander (www.fscommander.com/).
Jesus loves you and died for your sins. Repent ye for the kingdom of God is at hand, Salvation is given to those who follow and obey the Lord Jesus. This world is temporary and you will only get temporary pleasures from the things within this world, so look to God for he is everlasting, promise keeping, stable, loving and mighty and just in power. Look to the eternal things in life, Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Time is running out!!
