PART 2 is here! Thank you for the positive support on this video, this came as a surprise for me. Here is the link to part 2 video: ruclips.net/video/92EYvjGSSEg/видео.html
I’m taking my written 1 work from TODAY! I stumbled upon these videos just this morning and I’m so thankful. This instruction method is perfect for me.
I'm dreading the written exam but your videos are helping me see that the math questions are not as scary as they first look, just tedious. Thank you.
Thank you Miguel, I am glad to hear the questions are losing their intimidation on you. Good luck, I believe you will do well on the exam.
Have you taken the written yet?
You are an excellent teacher and should be highly paid. You are clear, don’t talk fast and explain like no one else does. Thanks so much. Just getting started and taking my time to not only understand, but get a great grade the first time.
Hello Yvonne and thank you for this kind comment. I never anticipated to be doing this kind of teaching and enjoying it so much in the process, it is a dream. Your support is much appreciated, and I believe you will do great in taking care to learn, best wishes! :)
❤
Honestly, this is one the most explainable videos I have seen. Thanks to you and to God for giving the wisdom to put this together. .
Hello and thank you for this kind feedback Rohanchung, best wishes!
I wouldn't have been able to get through a 20 minute video in one sitting if it was just someone explaining in a monotone voice. Your attitude and personality made it so much easier to focus and understand!! Thank you :)
I didn't really understand how these worked during ground school, but watching this video helped me a lot. Thankyou. Coming across this is a miracle. The way you explain things is easy to absorb and if you ever start a podcast or something I would definitely tune in.
Hello and thank you Abyanathif, it's great to hear that these videos came in helpful. I will enjoy thinking about your suggestion for a podcast, any particular topics that you would find interesting? Thank you for sharing and supporting this project!
That was gold. Clear, concise, detailed, and thorough = awesome!
I literally pulled an all-nighter just binge watching your videos the night before my test (which was earlier today) and I ultimately made an 85. Honestly, if I didn’t watch your channel, I know I wouldn’t have passed. YOU SAVED ME!!!1 Also when I first heard that intro, I knew this channel was for me. That was pretty funny.
This is so awesome to hear, thank you for sharing Isaachuffman! Well done on that test too! Are you moving on to check ride practice now? Best wishes to you and your training.
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS Thanks! I’m on my last flight lesson so the check ride is right around the corner! Also I watched your book review videos and thought those were some pretty interesting titles. I actually read the Art of War before and really liked it.
Wow checkride prep already, what an accomplishment you made to get here! Do you have any plans after you get licensed? Thank you for watching the book review videos too, I have more fun making those videos though I know the aviation content may be more popular. I will be making another one of those next up. I wish you all the best and good weather for your check ride day!! @@isaachuffman6336
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS Thanks, I plan on going for my instruments right away. I’m always looking forward to your new videos! You’re a big help!
Great videos. Some of the easiest to understand. Also I love your quirky humor. We would get along just fine. 🙂
I have my written next week and this video it’s just perfect ! Thanks !
I've been watching a lot of RUclips explanations on how to answer the FAA's weight and balance questions: yours is by far one of the best - if not *the* best. Thank you.
The huuuuuuuuuuge zoom in on the green dot between the utility category and the normal category had me laughing so hard. Thanks for the unexpected humor. Brightened my day and made me smile. Great teaching!
Haha! Thank you Blake, glad you enjoyed the content.
Thank you for taking time and reviewing these important questions
What an awesome teacher
Helps a lot . A million thanks . ❤
Awesome job! Written exam tomorrow, this cleared up a few things for me. Thank you!
Well thought out presentation and how you broke down each question into smaller parts, then reassembled them into the correct answers were especially helpful.
Dude......that was awesome! I was struggling with that exact same w/b question. They have the answer as 81 in utility. I've spent about 4 hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.....sigh....thank you for such well explained instructions. Please make more 🙏
I totally understand the frustration! I will seek for more questions to discuss about in future videos... especially these annoying ones haha! Thank you for watching.
"This is the moment for box X...not very exciting." Lol that was pretty witty! 04:48
It was a cheesy moment!
About to take my written in a few hours. Thanks
I didn’t think anything about this the g1000 did all work and now I need to learn the old school way so thank you for making this video!!!
Yes I agree, some older methods still tend to stick around, even after all this amazing technology we have these days haha. I am very glad this video came in helpful, thank you for watching!
Totally loved it! I'm sitting here with the Jeppesen guide and seeing the direct appliance of knowledge! Also a very pleasant way of turning what may be boring to far more interesting! Off to watch #2! Ty so much for your assistance 🛫👮🏻♂️✈️
so glad i found your channel, you are fantastic at explaining things
Hello Wizaard, I'm happy you liked the content, thank you for watching!
this is one of my trouble areas while getting ready for my written test. thank you for such a wonderful job on these videos! so thankful i found your channel.
Hello and thank you Jamie, I appreciate your kind support! Best wishes for your test.

Hello and thank you Edward, I am glad this was helpful.
Great video - super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Hello and thank you R k, feedback like this makes it all totally worth it.
This was very helpful and thorough. And what an incredibly lovely voice! Thank you.
Hello and thank you Dana, what a nice compliment! Glad the video came helpful.
Excellent Video I am a Flight instructor and this helps to refresh my memory.
Thank you Zack, I'm glad the video was useful. Making these videos helps me refresh my own memory on these matters too.
This was awesome! def hope there's a part 2. keep these up, they are super helpful. Thanks!!!
Hello Erin, thank you for the kind comment! I will add a part 2 on my to-do list for future videos. Thank you for this feedback.
This video is gold. Thank you
I'm taking my test tomorrow morning. I think I'll be able to do these questions now. Thank you!
Hello K Jendrey! Thank you for watching, wishing you the best.
Thanks, you are very good and precise. Go through the material at a speed we can follow.
Hello and thank you for your kind feedback Earl.
Excellent explanation, thank you!
You explained it so well a 5 year old could understand this
Hello Achannel and thank you, that is the goal!
Thanks, you are very good at teaching.
Thank you so much for this! It really helped for my PAR and checkride.
This is great to hear, thank you for watching Patton.
Incredibly made video and very clear understanding. Thank you darling. Studying for FAA written exam and this definitely helped a lot. Bless you
Hello and thank you, wishing you best of luck with your studies.
G,day AIDYL CONCEPTS from Sydney Australia.
Thankyou for explaining the calculations that are important to a pilot. Loading a plane with items and measuring weight and it's distribution to the planes C of G is extremely important to safe flight.
I have completed Q1. And divided the (plank) fulcrum into two sides of the pivot point (C of G).
Obtained the total weights of both sides, and subtracted the lessor side from the greater, leaving the remaining weight of 7500lbs ÷ 25=300lbs at point (Y).
I really appreciate your facilition of numeracy.
🤯⚖️📱
Hello John, thank you for reviewing my video. Always appreciating your time and feedback, cheers!
This is Best explanations ever.. love it and wish to see/learn more in real soon...
Thank you Jahabar, I will continue adding more content here. I appreciate your support for the channel!
Another great video thank you it help me alot my math was crap but now i understand how to work it out it not as bad as i thought it would be. thank you for this video
That's awesome Steve, glad to hear that it helped take away confusion with these calculations.
This was FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much!!!
Hello Kim and thank you! Really glad you enjoyed.
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS I really wish you would make more for written prep charts! You are the first one I have understood!
@@kimwood3187 Will do! I will be working on those charts/figures type questions as well, they were my least favorite kinds on the written tests. Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together ! You explained things very clearly.
Hurray, thank you stwrtfamly!
THANK YOU!
YOU ARE AWESOME!
btw... I lol when you zoomed in on the green dot to the molecular level.
😄
Hello Katherine, thank you for watching. At first I thought that green molecule zoom was too cheesy in this video but I had to leave it in there haha! Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for this video! Very helpful and you made it Fun!
Hello Marty, I am glad this was enjoyable for you! I am aiming to make this content as relatable as possible, even though aviation can have some dry subjects too haha. Thank you for watching!
Very well made videos! Thank you
Hello and thank you for your feedback Bilal. I appreciate you watching these videos.
Thank you so much for making this video.
Hello and thank you for watching the video Reggie.
Very nice job, love it. Keep up the good work!!!!
Hello Lon, I will continue creating more content. Thank you for watching!
dude! This was great, super helpful. Thanks!
Hello and thank you for watching Didiespi! Hope you're having a great day.
Thanks for sharing! Very good explaination
Hello Hensley and thank you for watching!
Taking my written in a few hours. Wish me luck guys!
your doing Gods work thank you!!!!!!!
Thanks so much, great explanation !
Hello American Guzzi Guy, thank you for watching! I appreciate the feedback.
Great videos! Keep them coming…
Hello Jerry, will do! I am currently working on the next video, and there is still a long list after that. Thank you for watching.
i'm about to take the written this was a good video to watch as a recap for weight an balance
Hello and thank you Quinn, wishing you good luck on your test.
Great content and laid out well. TY
Hello 3BoxersRule, thank you for watching. I appreciate your feedback.
Great video! Thank you very much!
Thank you Neil!
nice! buttoned up quick and the puns slay
Thank you SO much for this video. I'm not actually training for a realworld license, but X-Plane DOES take CG into account and you have to do this math to set it. Thanks again!
(I know what you mean about the word "auxiliary".. I've always cheated... aux il er y. )
Hello Randy and thank you for watching. I've heard of X-Plane, but had no idea it would involve details like that, how neat!
This is so helpful thank you!
I'm glad it was helpful, thank you for watching Christian!
So good!
Hello,
I am soon going to apply for pilot training and I have already started watching videos about all calculations and stuff. From this video, I've become more confident about the training. Thank you so much for the easy explanation.
Hello Prayank, thank you for stopping by. In regards to the FAA private pilot training, I feel that all other flight-related calculations are at about this same level of complexity/simplicity. Some are even easier than this. So if you are comfortable with the content in this video, that's a great sign that you may be good with the other kinds of calculations too. Best wishes to you and your training!
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS Thank you so much I appreciate your work it really help understanding the calculations. Thank you for making great videos with fun included in between 😂. Keep doing it really helps a lot.
@@prayankpatel3528 Haha, glad you enjoyed them. Yes, more videos will be posted, currently working on the next one.
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS Hey can you share any pdf link or website link where I can find these types of questions to practice? Like weight and balance, wind correction, wind direction and speed and much more.
Love your videos , please make more for Ppl test questions
Hello Ken, yes will do. I am currently working on a weight and balance part 2 video, aiming to have it posted within the next few days. I appreciate your feedback, thank you!
I cant thank you enough i was soo lost before this video Bless your heart :D
Awesome! Thank you Zachary, very glad to know this was useful.
Thank you for your help!
Hello Roger, glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching!
Yeah I'm not doing well on my practice test. Mostly weight and balance and wind effects on flight. I bought the e6b calculator and I'm kinda wishing I had the manual version
Yes great video
You are awesome. this was a fantastic video and I really enjoy your enthusiasm. You are the best and I want to meet you. Thanks a lot!
Superb! Thank you for this great response and looking forward to getting more video published here.
Thank you for this
That question really was close with the 81.25/which category. My instructor always talks about margins with me and I'd say if it's that close to the line, I'd rather call it normal than utility. Why push it 🤷♂️ this was a useful video, though. Thanks for taking time with the math lol
Absolutely agreed! These multiple choice tests have a disadvantage of not always favoring common sense or considering safety margins. Thank you for sharing about good risk management.
great video, helped a lot!!
Fantastic, thank you for watching Noahstyffe! Very glad this was helpful.
Just a helpful hint. On the loading graph it states the weight of fuel.
EXCELLENT!!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching Linda!
Soooo helpful. Thank you :)
Good stuff, thanks
I got 6.5 for rear passenger moment. That minor fix might've helped slightly in getting closer to 80.8 utility for question 2.
Great accuracy Silvester. Thanks for following along together!
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS Your channel is great I'd like to add, thanks for going over the exam questions with us!
Thank you!!
Hello and welcome Shawn, thank you for watching!
Loved it
Thank you big help
The second example question is wrong the FAA test prep book estimates the weight to a moment of 11.5 lb-in/1000 which does not make any sense rounding in a way that would reduce safety. but that's how the FAA does it
I haven't looked at the part 2 yet, but my hopes are you teaching me weight shift and how to calculate both old and new CG before and after weight shift, in a comprehensive and understandable way. I can nail this written test, but I would like to get the highest possible grade I can get so my check-ride isn't as long on the ground.
update, EZ pass on the written test. 87%
Fantastic, well done on the test! Thank you for sharing.
@AIDYLCONCEPTS
Nice video... may I ask, what does this mean? "The Centre of Gravity range of most aircraft reduces as the aircraft mass increases". What does "reduces" mean in this context please? Does it mean move forward OR move aft?
@AIDYLCONCEPTS
For the last question, if we already knew the weight was reduced by 210 pounds, couldn't we have already known the CG was aft of limits? Only because we know that a lighter plane has a CG more aft than a heavier plane whose CG is moved forward. Both B and C would not have made sense in general if the weight of the plane had been reduced.
thank you
Another outstanding video! When are you going to have your own ground school? Thanks!
Hello JeremyTentis, thank you for watching these videos! I love the idea of putting together my own ground school. It will take a bit more practice and work to get a video/online course going for me at this time, but I am definitely working towards it. I appreciate your kind feedback and support!
Thank you
Thank you for watching Sadun.
Thanks
Your awesome!!!
Hello and thank you for watching Urban Racer!
This was very helpful! Thank you very much for putting your time and effort into making this, and all your other videos
Hello Jake, thank you for your great feedback! I will keep working on growing more content on here. I'm glad they were helpful so far.
I'm working on instrument rating, I like your channel
You will do great! I felt instrument flying was one of the coolest upgrades to the flying experience. Thank you for watching.
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS Thanks looking forward to see more instrument content
@@Ezel21love Sounds good, I will get working on that too. I appreciate the feedback!
Very helpful thank you, I looked at the diagrams in the book and just said to myself, "What the heck is this?"
I felt that way with pretty much every chart in that testing book. Glad this was helpful and thank you for watching.
thaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk youuuuu so much😁😁
Thank you for watching Roshawn!
Yes please
This helped until 13 minutes 57 seconds - it feels like a trick question or an answer so specific in the middle of the graph as to not matter - unless we are taking an exam. Time to get a snack and come back or just fly the plane as all three answers are in the middle of the acceptable limits. Now I'll wait for someone to say - "well actually..." (Snack time)
The crazy thing is that I got this exact same question in the written test
Hello C3RRR244, sounds like that was a lucky recurrence, hope it was a piece of cake for you that time. Thank you for watching.
Please pt 2!!!
Hello Donna, thank you for your input. Currently, I am close to finishing and posting a new video (wind calculations). After that one, weight and balance part 2 is next in line! :)
Super helpful, broken down into plane English thanks!
Fantastic, thank you for the feedback Xavier.
listening to her is making me fall in love.
11:05 love the zoom lol
Hello and thank you Bilal, I have been hoping someone would finally notice that part haha!!
.75 speed playback 👌
I have a question if you would be so kind to answer..let me know
Hello Anthony, I will do my best to help answer your question. Feel free to go ahead and ask.
@@AIDYLCONCEPTS far as the actual FAA written How did it differ far questions asked. As the overall questions from school exam to get endorsement?? Was it easier or about the same. You have really helped me along with the formulas.. that's what I worried about the most
@@anthonywindfield8439 Generally, on the actual exam, you will likely see most questions are worded very much the same as some practice tests you may be taking for your studies. From my experience, I usually see about a 10% lower score in actual test scores, compared to the average practice test scores. I would recommend to keep taking practice tests to increase your average practice test scores up to about 90% or higher. That way, if you are scoring 90% or higher on your practice tests, you may have a better chance of scoring about 80% or above on the actual test - A good score safe above the minimum passing score of 70%. Let me know if I missed anything in your question, and thank you for bringing this topic up! What materials do you happen to be using for your test preparation?
