6 BIG Weather Hazards and TIPS to Avoid Them (PPL Lesson 45)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2022
- You DO NOT want to fly through hazardous weather. This video goes into EXTREME detail on how to be safe from the big 6 weather hazards you might run into as a pilot. I explain what the hazards are, where to find them, and how to avoid them. This is Private Pilot Ground lesson 45! This training is intended to follow the aeronautical knowledge areas in Part 61.105 section b for single engine aircraft.

👍I got schooled in temperature inversions on my first solo flight away from the airfield. Ever so slowly the ground became less and less visible -- a cloud was forming around me. Worse, there were plenty of tall towers in the area. I made a bee-line for the river (no towers in the river), dropped down to 600' and followed that back home. Definitely made me study up on the phenomenon.
Yes, that is definitely a a scary situation I’ve got myself into before as well. It’s better to learn the way you did. You will be a lot more careful from now on
If your instructor let you go solo in that weather, they need to get their license taken away lol
Got my ppl!! thank you so much for all your vids helped me a lot!!
Congrats! So happy these videos helped you achieve your dream!
I concur, this is yet another concise yet info packed lesson. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Happy to do it!
Short, clear & concise. We’ll done! (Newly minted PPL)
Thank you so much! And congrats!
As always, excellent informative video.
Thanks!
“Say winds”…. No thank you or anything love it😂
Lol
Another great video! Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Your voice is perfect for these videos
Thank you so much! I try my best lol
The pictures help so much. So many of these videos show just concepts, but seeing actual examples were lightbulb moments!
Thanks Michael! That was my biggest goal to make this stuff easy to understand
Thank you for the awesome explanation. All the best.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
If it's not to much trouble, can you make youtube shorts videos about weather. For example, like going over the types of fog again? So I can use the short videos as refreshers :) I learn so much from your videos.
Thank you! I will mess with that and see how it turns out
@FreePilotTraining thanks for always responding:)
@@heidiporter148 no problem! I try when I can. Eventually it will probably come to the point where I won’t be able to respond to everyone lol

No problem
Another great video
Thank you!
Thank you sir
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Really helpful 💯💯
Sweet! I’m so glad you found it useful
Awesome
Thanks!
Need you to add a Yeti Velcro shoulder patch to your store.
I wish I could do that. Unfortunately SpreadShop doesn’t have that option. I’d like to buy one for myself lol I may get some make just for me and to hand out at some point
Once I was crossing some high ground at low altitude with family onboard, after taking off from a nearby airport. The aircraft started sinking due to wind shear, and it was necessary to put the nose down to build up the air speed. I am still here to talk about but I had a strong instinct to lift the nose which would have been fatal.
That’s scary. It’s crazy that we all have that instinct. You might like this video: ruclips.net/video/DDr5E-UyC8Y/видео.htmlsi=tFu7ZIRgt6N6bG0d
windshear confusion: Doesn't a headwind ADD to air speed? It does to at least ground speed since you're having to fight through the wind. I get that less headwind = less lift, but reducing headwind should not reduce air speed should it? That would be for a tail wind.
Great question! You are correct. However, it’s safer to be fast than slow. If you are shooting for 60 knots indicated airspeed and you have a 10 knot gust, your airspeed indicator is going to jump 10 knots with every gust, and what tends to happen is that you target the 60 knots during the gust and when it goes away, your airspeed drops. By adding half the gust factor you are essentially splitting the difference and flying right between the airspeeds at the worst case scenario.
As always, excellent informative video the only down side is your audio its too low please work on it
Thank you! And thanks for the feedback. I will see what I can do in the next one.
Another Educational and Fun video as usual and at about 24 mins where you talk about Frost and best to keep the plane in the hanger but the Canadian Airplane DHC-2 Beaver is meant for bad weather or commonly known as bush flying in Alaska or BC Canada bet even this iconic aircraft meant for bad weather even has limits or does it lol hmmmm.
Yes, I’d love to fly a beaver. I’ve played with it in the sim. Seems like an awesome aircraft
@@FreePilotTraining YW for the Beaver from Canada
Question: Is it possible just to fly above the weather conditions and avoid the problem? And at what Altitudes are above any Dangerous Conditions?
It is possible to fly VFR over low level inversions. You may not be able to get back through the clouds VFR though. You shouldn’t be flying over a thunderstorm. They can grow super fast and get you in trouble. It is possible to fly above the forecasted Icing conditions if your plane can fly that high. Icing typically isn’t a factor below negative 20 degrees. You can also fly over wind shear. It’s not usually a big deal until you start the descent. Hope this helps you
FL500 and above.😁
If you go from a 30 knot to 5 knot headwind, wouldn't that speed you up 25 knots rather than slow you down 25 knots?
I know, it doesn’t feel right until you see it in motion. A 5 knot headwind just slows you down 5 knots over the ground. That’s the way I think of it
Think of it this way ... You're flying at 100 knots in still air with no wind. Then you fly into a 35 knot headwind. Now your indicated airspeed is 135 (you have 35 knots more air rushing over your wings). So you reduce throttle and pitch for 100 knots indicated. Then you descend through the shear zone into a 5 knot headwind. Your IAS just dropped from 100 to 70.
Now imagine this at an approach where you're 1.3 Vs0 in a 35 knot headwind at 800ft AGL. At 500AGL you hit the inversion level and the wind drops 30 knots. You'll stall right above the ground unless you're carrying extra speed anticipating the wind shear drop.
The volume on this and some other videos you do have poor volume/sound (very low)
Sorry about that. I think I’ve finally got a handle on my audio
Clouds in the morning - sailers warning.
Clouds at night - sailers delight.
I thought that was a red sky? Lol
@@FreePilotTraining now I'm not sure - I will use both.
@@rinzler9775 lol
Your videos always make me hungry for McDonald's.
😂 that’s a great place to grab a quick snack
If i fly up there, i trust you'll take me to Clantons.

Thanks!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
