Lesson 6 | Flight Instruments | Private Pilot Ground School

Great stuff. Scott’s technique for teaching is great. Information is processed easily

“When going from cold to hot look out below.” High density = high pressure =cold air. Low density=low pressure=hot air.

If you are flying 5000 MSL and suddenly your altimeter indicator starts telling you that in fact you are descending you apply power and play catch up with the indicator finally you see you stabilized at 5000 IA but in reality you have just climbed up to 6000 MSL because of hot air that you have entered without realizing that that air has lower air density and lower pressure.

Now let’s say you are flying 5000 MSL and your altimeter starts indicating a climb so you back off the throttle and descend. You finally stop the indicated climb and the altimeter is at 5000 IA. I’m reality you have flown into a cold front and high density and high pressure which made you descend down to 4000 MSL without you realizing that.

This can be very dangerous.

He is TRULY the best teacher of this stuff. He makes it so fun and easy to understand!

I can’t explain how grateful I am for these lessons!

I fly out of KCFO just outside of Denver International and we have to learn density altitude right off the bat compared to those who learn to fly at sea level.

That instructor has got to be related to John Correa

You should dim the lights greatly in your room, in order for the online viewers to be able to read your projections on the screen.

Dear Scoot, i have noticed a slight mistake at 1hour and 7 minutes of this video lesson, when you said turning 360 degrees in 2 minutes, and it is exactly 3 degrees per minutes instead of 3 degrees per second.
By the way i love your PPL video lessons, thanks a lot

Hello dear teacher Scoot Leach, just wanted to warn you about a slight mistake in this course, at 1h 7 minutes, you talk about turning 360 degrees in 2 minutes then you say it is exactly 3 degrees by 1 minute instead of 3 degrees by 1 second, that's it, just for people not to learn something wrong, thanks
sorry if I bother you with this.
By the way I love your PPL ground course.

I have watch six video of this man and i can follow him along know bother He tell you how it works and why it works that way I wish he had an online ground School id be the first one to join up. Thank you for this video mate it help me a lot Thank you i will be watching more of your Videos Mate

Easterly 😂❤ that person must have been a good catholic person 🎉

Ok. That’s fine.

I wish I had an instructor like you Sir. so grateful to watch this and it's helping a lot, just wondering which book are you following I have Flight Traning Manual 4th edition, which doesn't have chapters it exercises only!

Yep. This is the best.

Try having the lights off in the class room since it’s really hard to see what’s being shown on the projectors / Screen

Amazing lessons

Very nice video. Do you have a video on how to trouble shoot these instruments? I have a vertical speed indicator and an altimeter installed on my costal sail boat in Florida and they don't seem to be working.

As student, just want to say how much I appreciate this free content. Thank you!

Best Teacher in North America.

Good to see you teaching these again! Thank you!

im really looking forward to your flight planning, ( some of that i got down pat, other parts of it, not so much ) but yeah, that, the winds aloft, ground roll calculations lessons - as those are the areas i struggle in most ! thanks again, have a good one my friend !

thank you thank you ! you are awesome ! please keep doing these ! they have been super helpful as im doing my practice tests, my scores have improved greatly, my goal is to take the FAA private pilot exam this coming spring.

First one to watch, great school, great instructors and great staff.
