Sat down with my instructor yesterday, and completed a flight log for the first time.. When I got home, my mind went blank. Your video is so informative. I have saved it as part of my notes. Onwards and upwards. Thank you!!
Really good tutorial, did my PPL in 1998 and trying to get back to Flying via LAPL route. All comes back with your logical presentation and down to earth approach. Looking forward to next videos. Many thanks.
Great to know it has helped! I had the same problem once I had left the flight school I had forgot what the instructor had said and I couldn’t find any quick guides or videos. Best of luck for your future flying.
Thank you for this video. With your help I have been able to understand and make my first VFR plog. You made it easy to understand. Thank you very much. Would you consider making a diversion video? 😊😊
Man, finding your videos was a gift for filling out plogs, been so long since I had too, you really made it clear and had it all come back to me thank you
Thanks mate, just starting my Lapl again, this was one of the subjects I was weaker on, now that I have a crp1, and videos like this , I've grasped most of the calculations. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you for commenting. If you need any help or feel that there is something that you would like me to explain in a video please get in touch! Best wishes for your future training.
Hello. This video is great. Currently training for my PPL. Haven't done the flight planning yet but i'm always thinking ahead so that I get a good idea about it all. This video is very helpful. I will refer to this so that when I do my first flight plan I can use this great sequence to help. It's made it a lot clearer too after watching this. Thank you.
Thank you Sir. Your informative video published three years ago is still of great use and value to me today. Sir would you publish more VFR flying technique sharing videos? Cheers.
Thanks Steve. When I did the actual flight, I had camera disaster after disaster! I’m hoping to get out flying this week and get some footage! Weather and fingers crossed. Thanks for your support!
This video is a lot of hellp. I am currently completing my PPL and completing my Solo Navs and this has been good reminder on the use of the Wizz Wheel. I have uploaded some vids of my time in Fly In Spain in Jerez. I will recommend this video to other students.
Hi there , Just came across your vid . Brilliant ! Really well explained ,I will mark this one as a Favourite to go back to A few times I am sure . Wonder who flew with at Liverpool ? I am a long standing PPL at Liverpool Flying School since 2000 ! Loads of hours in over the period and flew all over the place, by choice I have not gone for my ppl ,I simply love flying .They guys are geeing me around to sitting the exams now . I have had the books and have read them front to back but still never felt the urge to go and sit the exams (Did do the R/T a while ago and passed that one ok ) I must do something now I have retired ! Great Vid man ! I will look for your others .Surprised I have not come across yours before as I am an avid CZcams viewer of all things PPL etc . Well done... Ron
Hi Ron, Thanks for the comments! Yeh I have most likely seen you on the apron at some point. I flew with Ian who is now instructing with LFS. I’m now flying G-GYAV which is hangered at Keenair. You should continue doing your PPL and try to complete. The experience gaining your PPL is amazing but once you get your licence it’s like having a new set of wings! Literally! There are some amazing little airfields around the UK. If you are worried about exams I would suggest doing a week’s course with Linda Wheeler down near Denham. It is a bit costly but well worth getting all of your exams done in a week. I used her for a couple of exams where I needed some extra tuition and understanding. There are other people more local who do this also but not sure of their prices. Go for it! You will never look back. Hopefully see you around at LPL. Best wishes!
Hi Av8 Bear. Great video but a couple corrections if I may (from a flight instructor). You mentioned adding deviation - that can only be done from the deviation card in your aircraft (its the local magnetic field i.e. radio etc), you need to be adding the VARIATION also - thats what comes from the map. When you added the 2 degrees you were actually pointing at the longitude. Slightly to the left of where you were pointing was the Isogonal that was reading 1.5 degrees (in the UK they are more diagonal dashed lines). Only a small difference I know but variation changes over time, obviously longitude doesn't - it just happens on your video they are about the same. If you flew in the USA or Canada they would be very different numbers. Kind regards - keep up the videos!
I am a newbie and leaning the crp wind down method which is explained here. i was wondering you take the drift and add or subtract. i was taught to fiddle with this number until the 181 in your example is moved until the drift at top and where dot is match..
Great video and I’ve just started my nav stages. I got very confused after my first instruction, do you need to adjust your cruising IAS to TAS? Thanks.
Hi there, thank you. Everything in my plog is IAS. I suppose for pin point accuracy you could convert to TAS and just add in another column to the plog but for PPL level IAS is accurate enough for the altitudes usually flown. Thanks
Thank you for uploading, 1 question though. Before correcting heading to 207 and 203, u calculate a deviation of 26 degrees. Shouldn’t they be 207 (181+26) and 200 (174+26)? Then add 2 degrees to these numbers. U said 207 but wrote 205, was this a mistake or am I forgetting something.
To an extent yes, perhaps local flights in not as much detail. You have to check certain things like weather and NOTAMS. Once you qualify you can use an electronic flight planner which makes things much quicker. However during training this is the way.

Thank you! Best wishes with your rekindled ventures, I’m sure that it will be like yesterday when we are allowed out into the skies again! 👌
As a foreigner who were struggling with my calculations. Your video helped dude. Thank you and happy landings ;)
8:45. Minor point, but the convention for the wind vector is a triple arrow. A double arrow is the heading vector and a single arrow the track vector.
Hi, I was looking for it all the time. I'm gonna start my training and I always look ahead. It's really helpful :)
Thank you. Best wishes for your training. If you need anything explaining get in touch and I will see what I can do.
Was struggling to figure out my CP1 for my first nav route plan and this has helped me so much! thanks for the video 😊👍🏼
Great to know it has helped! I had the same problem once I had left the flight school I had forgot what the instructor had said and I couldn’t find any quick guides or videos. Best of luck for your future flying.

Thank you! I’m glad I can help! Best wishes for your future flying adventures👌
Thank you so much for this. Really well done. I've never properly learned how to use the CRP-1 and this has made me a lot more confident with it.
Your welcome, best wishes for your future planning and flying.
The best and clear video on CZcams, there are many but this one is the best. Very helpful, good explanation.
Brilliant I am glad it has helped! Best wishes for your future flying adventures!
Just what I wanted as nothing anywhere on the internet or the books. Clear and concise.
Your welcome! Let me know if there is anything else students could benefit from. Good luck with your flying, and enjoy!
Thanks mate, just starting my Lapl again, this was one of the subjects I was weaker on, now that I have a crp1, and videos like this , I've grasped most of the calculations. Thank you! 🙂
Great news! Best wishes for the future.
Great vid to refresh. I haven't flown for ALOT of years and looking to revalidate my licence, so this was a good recap on some old school navigation 👍
Thank you! Great to hear you are getting back into it! Best wishes and enjoy every minute!
This is such a helpful video! Thanks for keeping it clear for us beginners

Courtenay Joseph, thank you. I wish you the best of luck with future training, you have many good times ahead of you. Need any help drop me a message.
Great video! 23 hours through my PPL(H) and this was a big help, thanks!!
Awesome! Best wishes for the rest of your training.
Excellently explained sir. Thank you very much.
I needed this, thank you very much!
Thank you Sir. Your informative video published three years ago is still of great use and value to me today. Sir would you publish more VFR flying technique sharing videos? Cheers.
Fantastic video. clear and informative.brilliantly explained and demonstrated. would love to see the actual flight.
Thanks Steve. When I did the actual flight, I had camera disaster after disaster! I’m hoping to get out flying this week and get some footage! Weather and fingers crossed. Thanks for your support!
This video is a godsend, thank you very much; liked and subscribed.
Awesome, glad I could be of assistance! Good luck

Thanks I am glad it has helped! Your videos look great, keep posting!
Very instructive, thank you!
Great video, made it so much clearer than the explanation in the Pooley Navigation book, keep em coming!
very clear practical explanation thanks
Thanks glad it was useful!
How good was your explanation...well done.
Thank you, good luck!
Hi there ,
Just came across your vid . Brilliant ! Really well explained ,I will mark this one as a Favourite to go back to
A few times I am sure . Wonder who flew with at Liverpool ? I am a long standing PPL at Liverpool
Flying School since 2000 ! Loads of hours in over the period and flew all over the place, by choice I have not gone for my ppl ,I simply love flying .They guys are geeing me around to sitting the exams now . I have had the books and have read them front to back but still never felt the urge to go and sit the exams (Did do the R/T a while ago and passed that one ok ) I must do something now I have retired !
Great Vid man ! I will look for your others .Surprised I have not come across yours before as I am an avid CZcams viewer of all things PPL etc .
Well done... Ron
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the comments! Yeh I have most likely seen you on the apron at some point. I flew with Ian who is now instructing with LFS. I’m now flying G-GYAV which is hangered at Keenair.
You should continue doing your PPL and try to complete. The experience gaining your PPL is amazing but once you get your licence it’s like having a new set of wings! Literally! There are some amazing little airfields around the UK.
If you are worried about exams I would suggest doing a week’s course with Linda Wheeler down near Denham. It is a bit costly but well worth getting all of your exams done in a week. I used her for a couple of exams where I needed some extra tuition and understanding. There are other people more local who do this also but not sure of their prices.
Go for it! You will never look back. Hopefully see you around at LPL.
Best wishes!

Hi, really appreciate your feedback on the video. I will add a link to this comment in the description.
Thaks a lot mate
Hi. Helpful video. Is there a reason that you didn't iterate the wind correction heading for the 2nd leg which would have resulted in heading of 198?
Very clear
Thank you.
I am a newbie and leaning the crp wind down method which is explained here. i was wondering you take the drift and add or subtract. i was taught to fiddle with this number until the 181 in your example is moved until the drift at top and where dot is match..
Brilliant stuff. I do have one question how did you get the course deviation from wind ?
Great video and I’ve just started my nav stages. I got very confused after my first instruction, do you need to adjust your cruising IAS to TAS? Thanks.
Hi there, thank you. Everything in my plog is IAS. I suppose for pin point accuracy you could convert to TAS and just add in another column to the plog but for PPL level IAS is accurate enough for the altitudes usually flown. Thanks
You should upload more great vid
Thanks much appreciated
The tracks are from point to point but you could be taking off in a different direction, how would you then get back onto the correct track ?
where did you get e and sleap?
Thank you for uploading, 1 question though. Before correcting heading to 207 and 203, u calculate a deviation of 26 degrees. Shouldn’t they be 207 (181+26) and 200 (174+26)? Then add 2 degrees to these numbers. U said 207 but wrote 205, was this a mistake or am I forgetting something.
Hi there, thank you for the comment. Yes this is a mistake, it should read as you said. I have put the correction in the description. All the best.
Av8 Bear Thanks for replying, practicing for my assesment to join the airforce. Hoping Your video Will help me!
Johan Thomassen best of luck!
Good stuff man..dont you also need to add 300ft for MSA calculations?
Yes you are right you should do really perhaps I get complacent flying this route.
@@av8bear385 thank mate
Hey I noticed you marked all over your sectional chart with sharpie, do you have sectional charts to spare? is that something you normally do or?
No I use kitchen cleaner or nail varnish remover to get it off. The latter removes the shine from the chart though.
Do u have to plan every flight?
To an extent yes, perhaps local flights in not as much detail. You have to check certain things like weather and NOTAMS. Once you qualify you can use an electronic flight planner which makes things much quicker. However during training this is the way.
Av8 Bear Oh ok, thanks for the clarification!
17:38 Surely you meant to say variation instead of deviation
You are not sure on this true track you mean true Corse
Just starting my Nav and feeling overwhelmed, this has a nice clear and concise explanation, thanks
Glad it has helped! It gets easier the more you practise don’t worry! Good luck and enjoy piloting!
