Mag-nificent explanation! I have so much more respect for not only our pilots, but also our early sea captains. I think this is proof positive that we need more science instruction in our classrooms. Thank you Capt. Joe!
FINALLY, after 12min only, by watching Captain Joe' "FlightSchoolVideo", I finally understand a topic, which 12 hours of PPL-classroom failed to get transmitted to me. Big hands and thx for CPT Joe! 👏👏👏 🙌🙌🙌 📝✅ 🤩💡
I understood very little when I was in flight school but when I got flying I spent the few hours saying to myself now I understand. By the way I scored 98 on the test without understanding.
@@flywithcaptainjoe if you like to have a flight or at least a visit inside a DC-3, you may like to come once to LSZG, where she is homebased. (sie fliegt öfters mal ihre Kreise :-) MFG Chris
9:30 Strongly reminds me of my navigation lessons for my boating licence, with just one single difference: When navigating a boat or ship, you cannot go to a place with a vastly different magnetic variation within few hours!
I must tell you captain u are a great teacher in the aviation industry...and having you as a teacher you can never go wrong captain. I know there are many more like you out there and I honestly want to say thumbs up to all you pilots out there who is doin this fantastic job in the aviation industry. Respect to you all,and I hope one day I will be able to join all you guys because THE SKY IS THE LIMIT. Respect to you Joe
Very friendly both in person and on the screen. Thank you, Captain Joe, for consistently shining your enthusiasm for aviation by increasing accessibility into aviation topics.
Very fine explanation and examples. Some anecdotal stuff: When I was an instructor for Mountain Search And Rescue, it was not uncommon for a student to get incorrect compass readings.. Often because of a metal pen, or SAR radio, near the compass on their neck lanyard, or sometimes because they rested the compass on a metal fence post for 'stability'! But in the field as a searcher, an odd situation occurred while searching in the lava fields in western New Mexico Those fields had magnetic anomalies that attracted the needle of the compass. We used the sun angle to keep a reference for our direction. As a rule, we penciled in the declination lines onto our field topo maps, to compare the magnetic readings to the true direction of the map. That way, laying the compass on the map, with its markings aligned with the penciled lines, told us the 'true' story! The declination there was 11 - 15 degrees east, depending on longitude and latitude.
Yeah boy, I had 2 weeks ago my navigation exam which I passed with 100%, and know I have a short video, which is nice to listen again and again for not forgeting about the navigation basics every time, thanks Joe 👍🏻
This drove me nuts during my training. Remembering when to add/subtract variation, breaking down wind speeds into head or tailwinds vs crosswinds and worst of all, knowing when given wind directions are magnetic or true (if tower gives you a wind direction, it's magnetic, if you check the METAR/TAF they are true). Feels good to see this reviewed by Capt. Joe and not getting confused anymore. Thanks for the video 😀
As a passenger (well, if I ever do it again), knowing that the big planes still have the old-fashioned compass + chart to fall back on, makes me happy!
WoW, you took me back in 1995 when was a a student in flying club and I can still remember how my instructor used to stand and teach us all that, I can still hear his voice
Question about the results of the questions at 10:28 - I get 220 when working out the first question: True corse 219, with wind factored in 215, with magnetic variation 222, and with deviation 220. The answer should be 216 so what am I missing? Or is the answer incorrect?
The timing of this vid is incredible....I have my Navigation exam tomorrow and wasnt confident with the headings and the conversions between them...and now i fully understand thanks to your easy and simple explanation....Thanks Captain!!
Wow, that was great. So articulate and the examples actually make sense. You can tell he puts himself in the shoes of a student and asks " if I were a student, would what I as the teacher just taught make any sense"? So many people are great at their profession, but just awful teachers or trainers. Thank you so much for your videos!!
What a timing, I’m starting my ppl without any knowledge and from all the topics, that one was the most difficult for me. Now I understand. THANKS A LOT. 👍
Clearly I haven't been clapping hard enough for the Captain on every safe flight! What you people do is nothing short of magnificent miracles every single time! Thank you for this insightful look at bearings in flight, Captain Joe! Mad respect from Uganda for you and your gravity defying colleagues all over the world!
Captain Joe, I have to say, despite being an aviation geek my whole life, and having over 1000 hours in various pc simulators, I never knew this. I'm going to watch this several more times. Excellent explanation, sir. Thank you!!!
With Concorde always in the picture. I have similar ideas from using a sail boat. Quite complex on the fly if you have to do it once in a while. Thanks for the video.
Another great video. As an officer working I the shipping industry I enjoy seeing the things in aviation thay are similar to ships onboard every 4 hours we do a compass error check. The main factor that effects us is the steel used in the ship itself. This causes the compass to deviate slightly, but also depending on the area of the world the variation will differ slightly to abkut 3/4° E/W. Through taking a sight of a Celestial body and using calculations we can work out the error and which course to steer to get the true heading.
Fun Fact The Earth's magnetic north pole, is a magnet's south pole. This is why the North compass needle is attracted to the Earth's magnetic north even though opposites attract.
It's 25 years ago but I still remember our physics teacher in 5th grade telling us exactly this. Funnily there was an error in our atlas where this was mixed up. :D
I am so grateful for my tablet and SkyDemon... I just touch two locations, and follow the magenta line! I remember doing it the old way, but I’m glad that’s becoming a thing of the past...
Having watched many of your videos and also Mentor Pilot ones, I just want to say what an amazing job pilots do. How you know and remember the 1000s of different settings, instruments, charts, maps, ATC, weather and hundreds of other things involved in safely operating a passenger aircraft I will never know!
I won’t be piloting an aircraft in the foreseeable or unforeseeable remainder of my life but I liked this educational opportunity. Thanks! Great video!
At 10:22 the first heading should be 220°. 219-4=215. 215+7=222. 222-2=220. The other 2 are correct but I don’t see how the first one could be 216°. Maybe I’m missing something?
Loved this explanation, but every time an aero map showed up, my head started spinning! I’m sure with practice I could figure it out, but as a layman, it may as well be Esperanto. I read music and my friends who don’t tell me a similar story (i.e. it’s all gibberish dots and lines and Italian words!). Great video.
Excellent explanation, Captain Joe! A downside to the magnetic pole shift is the havoc it plays with runway numbering. I recall landing at Boeing Field where it was runways 13/31. Then recently I was at Boeing Field and saw the runways were renumbered 14/32.
A fun mnemonic I was taught to remember the relationship between these headings was, "Can Dead Men Vote Twice?" in other words, Compass hdg, Deviation, Magnetic hdg, Variation, True hdg. Variation sits between Magnetic and True and Deviation sits between Compass and Magnetic.
Wow wow wow like seriously ? Like I understood most of this stuff just a little which I don't but I will still rewatch it for full understanding. My Head of department in my university was teaching something very related to this few weeks ago and I was confused and was trying to understand it but this video made me remember about what he was teaching and i was matching both and I was just understanding what he was teaching. Much thanks to you captain joe you are more than just a pilot you are a inspiration to me and someone I look up to soo much to, thank you for this wonderful video and explanation, Thank you
Captain Joe, Thanks for your helpful insights. I just completed my Instrument Rating 3 days ago. Loved the basic clear explanations. Holds were a nightmare at first All done Now, Thank you. Cheers from Sunny Florida
You always inspire me, the more i watch you the more sure I am that I am gonna get my CPL. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge. Love learning from you. I really hope one day I get the opportunity to fly with you.(even if its a small Cessna/Dimond 😂)
This was VERY good & well explained, BUT now to educate You! KILO is one word that means 1000. Your phonetic Alphabet "K" is pronounced KILO. Now, any word after KILO is added to KILO such as KILO-gram, KILO-pascal, KILO-watt KILO-metre, KILO-jewel. So WHY ARE AND HOW DOES THE "O" GET GET CHANGED TO AWE, AH? The first word DOES NOT CHANGE FOR KILOMETRE! Meter is distance.
LOL! Man, it's been a while doing a flt plan but "West is Best" flipped a switch and BOOM! it all came back. I'm lucky though. Here in the midwest cornfields we live in a grid system, 1 mile squares chessboard. Waypoint verifications are a piece of cake. I'm also a fair weather, $100 burger kind of guy. This is the stuff you spend time grinding in the classroom and hitting the books and building a relationship with the Whizz wheel and charts with lots of interpolation.
I learned to fly in Illinois. With near zero magnetic variation and all those section lines it was almost like cheating. It was quite an eye-opening experience when I moved to the Pacific Northwest. Here the variation is 15 degrees east and there's not a straight line to be found. Plus, mountains.
You are a excellent teacher sir.... All of your videos catch the students nerve ..... Very easy to understand with the way you explain.... It shows how well you understand the students in front of you and the possible complex error which a student can make. Lots of respect for your contribution to students ☺️🙏🙏
During my flight school we associated magnetic declination as "w" "wiskey(the drink of course), then put some more" that's why we add to the true heading.
Awesome video! Unfortunately, I could never deal with the West Best, East Least mnemonic. What did work perfectly for me was this one: "From true to false, false sign(-), from false to true, true sign(+)". Meaning: From true to magnetic to compass heading, you subtract the variation or deviation value. From compass to magnetic to true heading, you add the deviation / variation value as you get closer to the true heading Got me through ATPL theory just fine :-)
That’s quite close to how it’s taught for driving a boat. Makes sense, the problems to solve in that regard are the same. You just don’t usually need to be fast.
Love your videos , I learn alot. Was surprised to see you use vero beach as example, I live in Vero. I really like your videos on holding procedures. I ran out of money for lessons so I watch videos and bought instrument procedures and instrument flying textbooks to learn as much as I can. Keep those videos coming , thanks.
Small correction (3:35) : The dashed lines on the VFR chart do not point to the magnetic north. They're isogonals, showing that the variation is the same along that line. You need to look for the label along that line that shows the actual variation. You can't measure the angle against those lines or you will lose orientation real quick!
Well explained! So glad my EHSI is Track Up so I don't need to worry about all this anymore. This did bring back many good memories of way back when. What's the difference between track vs heading? I'm sure Captain Joe will explain in a future video. Hint track is what really matters.
You make it sound so easy Captain, but now that it comes back to me, it wasn't that easy in instruction but I didn't have you as a teacher either. Density altitudes next?? 😁 that's a quickie easy one
I will never forget going out on a friends boat on the Great Lakes and getting lost. Until we discovered his wife had set the flashlight with a magnetic base on it, on the dashboard next to the compass
Captain Joe: Where ever you are now, you are sitting on a longitude slash meridian. Me: Funny, I thought I was sitting on a chain. I'll be darned. The things you learn on this channel.
Unless they have a navigation system that can steer a great circle, most pilots and mariners just approximate the great circle with a series of rhumb lines.
Magnetic North Pole is actually South Pole of the earth's magnetic field! This sounds confusing but it is the earth's magnetic SOUTH that is located in northern Canada! That is why your compass magnet's NORTH side points to the true north pole. The north side of the magnet always attracts the south side of earth's magnetic field.
nice Vid.. airman, what about GRID HEADING, can you make an awesome work like this one about GRID NORTH with exemple.. let's say from Iqaluit (CYFB) to Resolute Bay (CYRB)
My brain hurts. However, in the Army we did basic field navigation. Map, compass, protractor and a pencil. And a field note book. To write up your nav data sheet. Definition of a map - A repestentaion of a portion of earth's surface drawn to scale showing features both natural and artificial. We had to learn and know the differences between True North, Grid North and Magnetic North. The year the map was printed and annual magnetic variation was shown in the legend so you could work out the total amount of magnetic variation to be added or subtracted. GMS - Grid to Magnetic you Subtract - Grand-Ma's Socks (the polite version) MGA- Magnetic to Grid you Add - We just thought of the British Sports car - MGA I was never ever lost on any Army ex...maybe 'geographically embarrassed' a couple of times, but NEVER lost... 😉
Answer to the first quiz question is 220 degrees!
Typing error! My bad! You got it right 😉
oh thank god for that, i was tearing my hair out having gotten 220 and wondering where i'd gone wrong. thanks for the update!
Can we still book an online zoom session with you? I wanted to book it for may, after my finals to know the next step towards being a pilot in India.
Oh whew! I thought I did something wrong, thanks Cap!
Finally relieved 😅
Heck, I felt so dumb for a moment

well, there aren't that many boats coasting with up to 500kts ground speed xD
Finally I can listen something about heading and navigation for my PPL(A) theoretical exam from you. Thank you :)
Thanks a lot Joe for a long(er) video which actually teaches something worthy. Honestly, I prefer this anytime over the youtube shorts.

And for those confused about which way to add what: "Empty sea, add water" -> Map to Compass, add West
We just do that at school, what a nice coincidence!

“If you think the world is flat, this video is not for _you_ !” 😂 👍🏼
Thanks for info in regards how to work out headings
That little bit of hair sticking out is putting me off my heading Hahaha 😅😅😅 great video thanks for the explanation
Of course, even though you don't have to turn left or right when flying a great circle course long distance, your heading keeps changing.
Unless they have a navigation system that can steer a great circle, most pilots and mariners just approximate the great circle with a series of rhumb lines.
@@johnopalko5223 Maybe Captain Joe can tell us about that process.
Oh I didn’t realise that this wasn't a short lol, lemme grab some popcorn!
Magnetic North Pole is actually South Pole of the earth's magnetic field! This sounds confusing but it is the earth's magnetic SOUTH that is located in northern Canada! That is why your compass magnet's NORTH side points to the true north pole. The north side of the magnet always attracts the south side of earth's magnetic field.
I think you should do the workings for all questions!!
The calculations are actually pretty simple.
Best of the best explanation Sir thank you so much ♥️♥️
Yeah, I got the last answer wrong! I wrote down 000, not 360. :)))
Joke aside, I didn't get 216 at the first of 3 calculations.
216 is incorrect, if you got 220 then you were correct.
Amazing video! Loved the graphic aids!

Best aviation educator ❤
Top quality lessons
This explains why ATC sometimes asks a pilot to turn 10° left or right rather than giving a new heading.
My brain hurts.
However, in the Army we did basic field navigation. Map, compass, protractor and a pencil. And a field note book. To write up your nav data sheet.
Definition of a map - A repestentaion of a portion of earth's surface drawn to scale showing features both natural and artificial.
