Thank you guys for doing this. I am not a pilot but I enjoy challenging myself, especially when it comes to the fascinating world of aviation. What I've learned is that I could do fairly well on the test questions that require a logical insight, including the questions in this video (even the one about the tree clearance I could actually solve correctly without knowing the formula). On the other hand, I'd completely fail the load and balance questions because of applying and modifying formulas. Exactly that was my Achilles heel in high school physics, and it turns out it still is. Put differently: I now know for sure that the world is a better place without me flying planes, but on the other hand I've gained an even greater appreciation for the work that you do as pilots!
The question with the 9% gradient is using a non-standard definition of gradient angle. A gradient or slope is always measured relative to the ground, it not a ratio of climb rate to airspeed. So to say the aeroplane has a climb gradient of 9% would be based on ground-speed and imply the calculation is a simple matter of 0.09×250+15-8. If they wan't to see headwind adjustments they should say the aeroplane has a zero wind climb gradient of 9%, but there is a 10kt headwind at time of departure.
How tall should you be to sit properly in the cockpit and fly the aircraft ? What is the minimum and maximum height of a pilot ? Are there pilots in the airline who are less than 5.2 feet tall ?
For you guys who are from mainland Europe and were presumably educated just in m, km, km/hr etc, when entering the world of aviation did you find it difficult understanding feet, miles, knots etc. Appreciate Joe has an English mother.
Quite a late answer, but could explain briefly from my perspective. In the start, some of it may not be that intuitive as the metric system. But after a few subjects you’ll be able to visualise and compare the units and numbers with metric.
I imagine there'll be more than a few young home-based flight-sim experts who'll find this kind of video unsettling. They'll want to ignore it. They'll be thinking, "I can fly without all that stuff. Just use 'auto' settings..." They'll be proud of their mechanical skills at the controls, which make them think they're ready to pilot a 747 or A350 because they can fly a virtual plane to a virtual destination and land it every time. But physical skills are only a part of being a pilot. There's all the theory and knowledge, too. You got to really know that stuff. I started out gliding, got as far as solo tasks, then got my PPL (old-school Cessna 172! Yay!), but that's as far as I went. I knew I lacked the commitment and ability to go any further. I'm not stoooopid, but I know I'm not commercial pilot material. It helps to be realistic about these things. Modern planes (and sims) are amazing, but you can't rely on tech. You've got to have the ability to think your way out of trouble when it fails, and that means doing all the boring, tricky stuff. It means you have to learn to like exams. Everybody watching Captain Joe will also have seen Petter of the Mentour Pilot channel, and winced at his excellent crash investigation videos. They'll have been shocked by the apparent level of incompetence of some of the pilots featured - ones who bluffed or bribed or lied or cheated their way into the Captain's seat having managed to dodge things like... exams. They're not the kind of people you want at the controls when the 'auto' options fail and you've got to calculate stuff. There's a modern mindset that says, "Whoa, Joe! That's way too complex! I'll never learn all that stuff, and exams aren't fair because they discriminate against people like me who hate exams, so I'm gonna just let an app do all the hard work. Select automatic everything and move on..." But that's not creating a pilot. A pilot has to know what to do when all the screens go blank and all you've got is a pen, a pad of paper, and 180 people behind you, depending on your skill. Yes, it's hard. Complicated. Difficult. Challenging. It has to be, because real life doesn't have a RESET button.🙂
@Captain Joe The question with the 9% gradient climb ask for the distance above the tree which is 250m from the end of the runway which would have nothing to do with the air distance traveled. This could be done with an extension of the old 1 in 60 rule. 9% is the same as 9 in 100. or (250/100=2.5) 2.5*9 = 22.5m 15m(50ft) + 22.5m=37.5m total height. 37.5m-8m(tree)= 29.5m Above tree. Love you content and working on the airport I'd love to know if this is correct as we deal with tree and obstacle heights often.
@JorisRobijn i understand there is a difference between ground distance travelled and air distance travelled, however the measurements from the runway to the tree is not the distance through the air therefore Air distance travelled is irrelevant. Unless of course the tree is bending over in the high winds and the tops are closer than the base of the tree 😂😂
Hi guys, thanks for the great videos and explanations. You mention a link to another video for question 322327 on FLEX temperature. But i can’t find your link in the description. Can you please tell me where in the description i can find the link. Thanks 😊
Ich hab' gleich nach der ersten Frage abgebrochen; alle 4 Diagramme sind falsch. Bei Nr.4 gleichen sich bei zunehmender Geschwindigkeit die Luftwiderstände also an? Nein, die spreizen sich hyperbelartig ab. Die fuel penalty steigt mit der Geschwindigkeit zum Quadrat und die max. Geschwindigkeit sinkt. Ihr seid bestimmt schon genervt, weil ich hier offensichtliches aufzähle. 😊
Airspeed doesn't change when you fly into headwind, only groundspeed changes when changing heading only. Crosswind or headwind, you are always moving with the airflow. However since the threshold takes longer to reach in a headwind your descent angle needs to be decreased, therefore you should reduce your descent rate. The resulting pitch up will reduce your airspeed, and your autothrust system will compensate by increasing thrust, not reducing. This needs a review. I get the impression all answers are incorrect.

I am a fan from Thailand. You are very good, Captain Joe❤❤❤
Two sessions remaining! :) ATPLq is a great question bank. Greetings from Italy!
For you guys who are from mainland Europe and were presumably educated just in m, km, km/hr etc, when entering the world of aviation did you find it difficult understanding feet, miles, knots etc. Appreciate Joe has an English mother.
I think it’s not about understanding but it is just harder to our imagination because we are used to meters etc.

I counted 6 questions :)
Got my exam in 2 days💀
We're all wishing you well!🙂 Try to get plenty of sleep.
Ace it!
Good luck
Thanks guys 😁
Good luck💯💯

I would think the climb gradient is a climb performance parameter, and therefore not ground referenced. That is why the 60/50 compensation is applied.
@JorisRobijn i understand there is a difference between ground distance travelled and air distance travelled, however the measurements from the runway to the tree is not the distance through the air therefore Air distance travelled is irrelevant.

Probably this one?

Yeah buddy moments are phenomenal 😁💫
Great channel.what is the taxing speed at airport
Why does the website not show the cost before registering?
Awesome video
Captain joe what is ILs and hydralic system functions
Thanks!
OK, I learned some very important things from this video. Primarily that I should not be a pilot.
what is the song that plays in your into ?

can we have a discount code for atpl q next time ?
I paid and never received merchandise and neither the money back
@soumenchowdhury1136 really? Do you have either a contact number or email to follow up on your dilemma?

oh ...i answered class b aeroplanes have more than "one engine" ... rest ➡️ wrong 🫨
