Music_360 i
Yup .. I know the video you are talking about.. looks like we are following the same Drone Cert path! Ya thx for being concise! great video!
I aced my Part 107 test today and scored 100% thanks to your videos! THANK YOU and I greatly appreciate the time it took for you to make and post this video! :D
I am studying to take the Part 107 test. Yes this video helps with learning about aviation.
NICE
Your the best tutorial you tuber like ever. You voice is perfect, you get straight to the point, you’re fast, you don’t drag it on, it’s great
I appreciate it, Ben!!
Your videos are straight to the point. A lot of other channels "chit chat" for 10 minutes before they even start talking about what it is they are supposed to be talking about. And when they do start talking they meander about the topic like we're all hear to have a cup of coffee and enjoy each others company. Thanks for your videos!
I'm glad they help, thanks for checking them out!!
Great video and great instruction. You clarified something I struggled with about class E/G within the first minute and a half.
Love how these videos are straight to the point! Thanks for a great video!
Glad you are finding them helpful!
John I know you made these videos a long time ago. But they are very helpful today as I'm sure they were then. Having the ability to refresh my mind on the VFR sectionals was great. Thank you for your hard work and efforts to put these videos up
Absolutely fantastic video on something that can be very overwhelming! I came here as a private pilot to learn about the sectional foe the first time, and now I’m coming again 3 years later for a quick review before my commercial Checkride. Thanks so much Jason! 😁
I went over this type of info in the Cessna videos, but the way you went over it was eye opening. This was my level of training. Beginner. Keep moving and studying the questions for the Checkride.
Jon..Seriously...You do explain the subject matter so very well...You cover it all and you keep it simple and detailed...Thank You...

I searched the whole youtube for Airspace Explanation. Now this is what I was looking for. Gonna Share. Thanks.
To the point and concise - thank you for not wasting my time! Liked and subbed!
Much appreciated! Feel free to share it around a bit
Great vid, clear, to the point and especially helpful to a student from Bradenton. Thank you so much.
Great video. You first started talking about Venice, I was thinking Cali. Then you mentioned Punta Gorda and I realized you were in Florida! Nice to have a informative local pilot on RUclips.
Thanks for the video! Excellent job going through and explaining the details.
I am screaming!!! Thank you so much for this video. I am a student pilot at SRQ. Non of my training videos are working properly so I have turned to youtube fir help. THIS is amazing. Can not thank you enough
Good luck with your flight training!
Hi Jon, thanks for all the videos. 9/22/17 I flew as PIC again for first time since 4/1981. It's been a long time & well worth the wait. Scoured youtube to get up to speed on all that's changed in 40 years. Your channel definitely helped my efforts.
Glad it helps and happy to hear you're back in the air! Be sure to share us with your friends around the airport on FB!
Quick and informative without Jeppesen fluff!! Thank Goodness.
Very good overview. Those charts are overwhelming the first time I saw them, but you completely demystified them in 10 minutes. That's just good form!
Share the video around with your friends 👍
Thank you. Clear, concise, straight to the point.
Glad it helped!!
Thank you! That was a real handy dandy tutorial, a lot of informations in short time and you've got another subscriber!
Glad it helps! Be sure to share us with your friends on FaceBook and around the airport!
This is amazing! I'm in Venice so this was super helpful!
This was super helpful and very easy to understand! Thank you!
2020 - PASSED 97% Unmanned Aircraft Exam (part 107). Huge shout out to Jon w/ FLY8MA. Wealth of knowledge that definitely helped me pass and I would go as far and say these videos are a must watch. THANK YOU - Jon.
Always happy to help! Huge congrats to you!!
This is the best tutorial about vfr sectional ever!!!
Great Video in every respect. The video explained a hell of a lot more than the textbook that I am reading.
Awesome!!! Finally
Glad it helped!!
Thank you for all the details!!

I had three hrs up to now in 172N G-BOIL from Barton nr Manchester and this video is helping me to learning me how to read charts so Ta...
I'm a nub. That seemed like a great intro thanks.
Another quality video.
I'm from port charlotte so this was extra comfortable to keep up with. Thank you for sharing. I'm excited, hopefully gonna be starting flight training in punta gorda soon. I could use all the help I can get lol
And yes, 15' MSL is our highest elevation statewide lmao
Loved the video i will watch more straight to the point
Another great video!!
I appreciate it!!
Thanks! Very helpful.
Glad it helps! Love the sailing vids too! Used to have a 38' Irwin I had planned on doing some cruising on around the Caribbean before it was damaged in a storm (guess it leaves more time for airplanes). Anyways be sure to give a shout if y'all are ever passing through Sarasota!
Cheers!

At first when you pick up a sectional chart you don't understand a single dot but when you see these videos then you get it, I've seen like 5 videos in a row about sectional charts and it becomes easier and easier, thank you Sir
Happy to be able to help!
Really a fantastic breakdown of the VFR sect chart.
Glad it helped!
Great instruction. Fabulous quality, clarity & information. A++
Glad it helps! Share the video on Facebook and with your friends around the Airport!!! Fly Safe!
Thanks for the video! I'm studying for a Section 107 sUAS license and this is very helpful.
Best of luck to you!
Thank you!👍👍
These videos are gold
Good stuff!
Great refresher for a 8 year pilot
What a great video. Thank you sir.
Very informative video. Thanks. Will be watching again.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice refresher
Well, this helped me clear up a few questions from Jeppesen training tonight. Thank you for your time!
Certainly! Glad it helps! Jepp's books are good, but a little on the dry side.
You can say that again, lol!
Thank You!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP... 92% today!
Nice job!
Congratulations !! Very nice !!
Thanks! Safe Flying!
I wanted to review your excellent Sectional Chart Presentation again as a review for my PVT Glider Oral tomorrow...Thanks again Jon...
Now what do you do it you need that roll? Ha!
Thank you for posting this video. I wish you can post more about sectional charts, weather minimums, airspace requirements, and the FAA regulations.
We have a few others if ya want to check out the rest of the channel!
Thanks... very helpful, I'm taking my ground classes but my business don't give me much time to read. So... this is how I try to stay on track
thanks again
Glad it helps! Good luck with the studying!
Great video. Two suggestions. Venice airport is partially off screen and explanation of airspace in the first couple of minutes would be helpful
Also the mouse cursor is so small that I often lose sight of it and so I don't know what he's pointing at.
Damn good video!
Thank you
Jon...I really enjoy your presentation style...easily understood and detailed...I review this sectional on occasion to update my brain...
Will mention...I like the way you included on the screen the words used by ATIS (because Atis is not always easily understood during a presentation)
You do cover it all....

Flying with FLY8MA.com Flight Training
I finally figured out the class E/G confusion for me.
Great video
Amazing video. I have my test tomorrow, and this explains it better than the online course I got.
Should've taken our online course! Here's the link: learn.fly8ma.com/courses/private-pilot-written-test-bootcamp/
Use us for your IFR training or commercial prep next time! Good luck with your test!
well done
So much to learn!!
You can do it!!
@@fly8ma.comflighttraining199 thank you
Great videos. -3.32 you say 'click mic' to activate lights. Do you have to be set to tower frequency (121.0) for this to work? - thanks
I'm a pilot and even learned something about VFR charts today.
Always happy to help!
I agree, well done and I am a 16,000 hr pilot.
great video. may i ask how you were able to access this chart? was it a program or internet tool? thank you
That was AWESOME!!!!! Now, can you redo this same video...but instead look at the airports for the East Coast side of Florida? LOL! Or, just explain how you'd use this very same VFR chart to do a cross country from your West Florida airport to let's say Boca Raton, FL using both I-75 Alligator Alley, or Airport and landmark hopping. Also, how you'd use the VOR at Pahokee if you had to divert or kick out some parachutists.
Again, GREAT VIDEO. Thumbs up and subscribed!!!!!
How do you figure out the mountain height over a tower. I see the ones that are just a little above the tower height minis the top from the bottom to get your actual elevation, right? I will have to go over this a couple times. Thanks for the video!
Great video! Can anyone please explain the meaning of a small solid blue line with blue dots inside of it? In the video, they are listed as "Myakka River State Park" around 0:50. I _think_ that indicates the boarder of a state park...but what does that *mean* exactly? Class B airspace? Are you prohibited from flying over state parks? What do the dots indicate?
I'm looking under "Airport Traffic Service and Airspace Information" in the legend, and don't see anything related to a blue line with dots.
If you are looking at a sectional chart from Portland in the early 70's. can you use it with todays sectional chart. how much difference would there be with marked airways? would V23 still be in the same position?
that PHK airprort at Palm beach is kinda tricky i went over there looking for it, and it looks like its in the lake
Excellent review. Thanks.
nice
Great information but why do you guys use such a small white arrow for your cursor when you jump around so much and so quickly? I have to replay a lot because I want to keep up with you. Suggestion: use a larger BLACK arrow cursor. Thanks
@Justin Shearhart consider not everyone watches on the same monitor as you. Be it a phone, tablet, or laptop. And quality varies with hardware.
Very helpful. Thanks
However, the presentation would be MUCH improved by changing the mouse pointer to something other than the default, small, white one used here which is difficult to see to the point that, at times, by the time one has located the pointer and what is being presented you have moved on to the next feature on the chart.
Absolutely, the identifier was too small. Spent all my time searching
Excellent video but sometimes I have trouble finding your mouse while pointing out small spots when your explaining about it
okay, so this has cleared up some things, but where are you getting all the numbers? Lots of numbers written everywhere, not sure what means what
Wow! great video, really helpful. Any way you can tell me what V521 in the blue nav routes. The nav routes have direction in degrees, arrows that point towards services/facilities and boxes which contain distance between NAVAIDs but nothing that says what V521, V579, V35 etc. means. Are they just like street names that identify the route between bacons? I see another one in the San Diego area that says V66-450-514. and T326. It seems to be the route name, or the name of that section of the route. Is there a key for these anywhere?
This is really my favourite Channel!
Thanks for your nice Videos,
it is very enlightening,
Waiting for your latest update.

Would you bebelieve me if I said all my questions was answered in the first three minutes and then some. Now I officially know how much more studying I have to do... Wow you got me bro I got too Subscribe!!! VFR Sectional Charts is my weakest so Humbling...
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Pilot. You got me wanting to be in the Cockpit For Real!
How do you read the Large numbers for altitude properly? 1 to the power of 9 for example.
If you make a new version, please zoom in so we can see text on smaller phone screens. Ty!
I did not pick up where you find the frequency to click 5 times to turn ON the lights. Overall, very helpful. I have been struggling to understand these charts in prep for my knowledge test.
Me too. I'm pretty sure it's the CTAF frequency (makes sense it would be what you tune into for traffic), but I'm not sure.
Very informative video, but why does it go from A-E then jumps over F and goes to G airspace? Thanks!
Its just a FAA thing, internationally there is Class F airspace, we don't use that designation here in the states so to stay consistent with ICAO they skip over so that G here is the same as G everywhere else
So on an examination class g is up to 1199' ?
Question? Is it a good idea to ge hard copies of ALL sectional charts? Like which ones should you get? I know foreflight has them digital but I'm asking as if technology never existed.
Hi, what website are you using to look at these maps
What are the big blue numbers where the first number is larger than the second (i.e. 19 to the upper right of Venice, 07 out in the water, 10 to the left of Coral Creek)?
I learned this. Those numbers represent the highest obstacle in that square of the sectional. There’s a black dot in the square showing where that is.
what does the 40/sfc mean that I saw towards the end of the video?
Ceiling of airspace is 4,000 ft and floor is the Surface
I'm here learning for part 107 license to better understand the charts. Who's here for that!?
I found this video because I am studying airspace for FAR 103 flight. Noticed you said the yellow area is "congested" areas. The yellow areas depict the ground illumination pattern one might see flying at night. They are NOT an FAA designation of "congested area". This is an important distinction. I say this because there may be paths that an ultralight or powered paraglider can use to come in or out of an area that is solid yellow on the sectional, and there may be areas that are not yellow that are definitely congested and should not be overflown with an aircraft operating under FAR 103.
According to the FAA's Aeronautical Chart User's Guide, the "yellow city tint" indicates a populated place, such as a large city, town, or village.
Adam St. Amand But populated is not the same as congested. They do not have a set definition of congestion, but clearly a person on the ground in many of those yellow regions would not see it as a problem if they see an ultralight aircraft above them.
top number is AGL and brackets number underneath is ASL, yes? I keep getting this mixed up.
For obstacles, the top number is above MSL, and the number within brackets is height above ground.
What does the number 19 mean near Venice?
