No real need to waste valuable mental hard drive space on memorizing esoteric aviation formulae. In your example of simultaneous approaches to parallel runways, ATC will handle all headings to intercept of the final approach course. That intercept will be 30 degrees or less when in IMC. During high volume VFR parallel operations ATC can’t afford a blown turn to final causing a loss of separation, so the traffic and the runway must be in sight. I believe you are correct in having a deep knowledge of these things helps us to have a keen sense of understanding as to what’s going on around and with our aircraft. Leading to a higher developed situational awareness. The 3 to 1 rule of thumb is a great one to get your mind around. But a 100 kt tailwind driving our ground speed to 580 kts changes the rate of descent from when we have a 100 kt headwind driving the ground speed to 380 kts and understanding that helps us stay ahead of the aircraft. Continuous study for "Understanding & Application" are the goal. Correlation will come with experience. Wrote memorization itself needs to be built on. Love the recommendation for cognitive training … Brilliant! Thanks for a good video.
Certainly a different approach. The main question is, are we striving for good enough or towards excellence? Good enough is good enough… however, the true perfectionist perishes with such an approach. Understandably, this is a rather utopian approach to such a discipline. As always, fly safe!!
As someone interviewing to transition into the jet world, should I have a good understanding of how turbines work and a general idea of bigger aircraft systems? I currently instruct and the Cessna 172 and there isn’t a whole lot of systems to memorize
Indeed you should, specially since it wouldn’t be expected of you. This performance edge will cause a great impression, considering the opportunity to answer such a question does come up. If it does not, your knowledge should help you keep a cool head during the process. Best of luck to you.
I love studying Aviation is definitely for me 🙏

Just clutch, guides on things I need as soon as published
Fantastic! Share with the competition? Lol
@@CaptainRod not on my best interest 😂

Which airplane do you fly currently sir?
Currently operating the Boeing 737…
