If Mrs.Holman recorded videos and had a subscription service, I would totally subscribe! So much knowledge being explained in a simple and clear manner.
Thanks for making these new videos Cyndy! One small correction: I believe you got the sloping runway illusions backwards. Downsloping runway gives a sight picture on approach that makes you think you're lower than you actually are which causes the tendency to fly a higher-than-usual approach path, and vice versa for an upsloping runway. You're an excellent teacher, and it's great to have some of your lessons in HD now. I've watched every single one (old and new) in preparation for private pilot and they've been incredibly helpful. Hope you continue to upload!
Correct. According to PHAK p. 17-10, upsloping runways or terrain make pilot feel aircraft is high and can result in a low approach. Downsloping runways and terrain have the opposite effect.
Cyndy - I hope you read this. I was studying for my glider pilot's exam and found the notes confusing and lacking detail. Your lessons totally opened my understanding. I recently passed my exam and look forward to sharing the sky with others. Thank you so much!
I’ve been watching you a lot recently to do some finishing touch up studying for my ppl written and i took the test last week and got a 100. Thank you!
Thanks for that excellent discussion. I was based for a while at an airport that had an asphalt and an adjacent grass runway. The runway lights were minimal, but they straddled BOTH runways. So when you came in at night, you ended up sidestepping a bit to get to the asphalt. Interesting twist.
Thank you so much for making all those videos.as everyone else i had to face so many trouble at the beginning of my flight training.and all your videos helped me all the way to becoming a private pilot.
Hi Cyndy. Sloping runway is the opposite. If you have an upslope runway it feels the same as a narrow runway. You'll feel like you're too high and will arrive too low.
Think you’re correct, and something that she should have addressed. Wonder how one commenter managed a 100% on their test based on this video. That said, the rest is excellent.
Just an opinion, when I was on my commercial training my instructor told me to not rely on my flight instrument so much. We had featureless terrain and he said you can still use the ground as a reference to straight and level. To this day I still can’t use the ground at night unless there are city lights.
Years ago when I was still in my 20s, with great vision, I had a few of these gang up on me and slap me pretty well. I am in a Cessna 207 at night with 6 other people in light drizzle approaching a skinny down sloping runway without a VASI or PAPI. In my mind I was still 15-20 feet in the air and just about getting ready to flare when the mains smacked the runway hard. Of course those Cessna spring landing gear struts compressed and launched me back into the air. I didn’t break anything or end up going off the side of the runway. As the PIC I hate that feeling of “what just happened” when I’m not supposed to be either a spectator or passenger. More recently, sometime in the last year, I was in a climbing turn and came out of the top of an overcast layer into a “false horizon” situation in marginal lighting and multiple other cloud layers and it was a “mind bender”. That took several conscious attempts to eventually sort out where straight and level actually was. Thank you for the great review!
as a sport pilot, I don't necessarily need this information as I won't fly at night, but it's very useful nonetheless. Another great video Cindy, thanks.
The elevator happened to me once while in training. We were in final during a simulated engine failure in a very gusty day. An gust lift the plane and I got scared of stall after this gust were gone and the pitch were too high for the new wind condition. Anyway, my mistake because I pulled probably like -0.5G.
What about the "featureless terrain illusion", also known as the "black hole effect"? Is it included in one of the illusions you have mentioned? Excellent teacher by the way!!
The more I read about flying, th 7:34 e less I am inclined to. It appears that we did not evolve to fly. From the minute you start the engine you are required to overcome perception issues that can kill you.
Your audio on this video is 1000% better than your previous videos. Those videos sounded terrible because of the non-absorbing sound environment that sounded echo-ey and tinny . It was a real turn-off and made me lose interest in your lecture, even though your material was good. I didn't give you a thumbs down, but no thumbs up either. You do know what I mean, right? Now this new, recently uploaded video is absolutely great because I can clearly hear you (though your volume may be a little bit low) and the subject matter is clearly and succinctly explained. Please keep up the good work with this fabulous audio improvement and don't go back to that crappy audio recording room. Having left this comment I will now gladly give you a thumbs-up.

Thank's for the comment. I thought the same about the sloping runways. And I agree that Cindy is an excellent teacher. Thanks!

@@henning3188 How does she still get “excellent” marks if she botched this and hasn’t responded in two years?
@@AmericusMaximus I guess you have never made a mistake in your entire life

Wowza, started by watching your airspace vids and decided to watch all of them. Just completed this one, 15d and it's been great! Thank you!
Love your videos! Even the old, but yet relevant videos. They are very helpful for me as a student pilot

I wish that you were in my flying school
Thank you so much! Your flight review series has helped me pass my private and continues to help me through instrument training! 😊

Fantastic video. Better than wasting time reading PHAK and AFH

The best instructor ever. 👩✈️✈ Salute.
Thank you for your videos!!! You explain everything in such a simple way.
Thank you for these golden videos, great explanations and great pace this is gold!
Hey Cyndy please keep going with your video there awesome.
Take care
Thank you for the videos,you are saving us pilots who cant afford ground school.god bless
I love how you do it! Thanks for your guidance on this awesome journey.
Still blessed with your videos... (making a comeback anytime soon =)

come back Mrs.Hollman, ur videos are amazed my work

adjust your seat so that you can clearly see the ground during approach this has helped me alot to judge flare height at night
as a sport pilot, I don't necessarily need this information as I won't fly at night, but it's very useful nonetheless. Another great video Cindy, thanks.
Cyndy
just brilliant
Can you please make a ground school for Instruments as sam as you did with private?
the sloping runway thing is the opposite isn't it? due to the changing aspect
Thanks Capt, please do you have any explanation for aeromedical factors
Just in time for my night rating! Thank you.
The elevator happened to me once while in training. We were in final during a simulated engine failure in a very gusty day. An gust lift the plane and I got scared of stall after this gust were gone and the pitch were too high for the new wind condition. Anyway, my mistake because I pulled probably like -0.5G.
Thanks Cyndy…really useful. 👍
BEST DPE EVER!!!!
*6:28** What if the runway doesn't have the Papi lights* ?!
Great video Cyndy.
I still think it’s nuts that there is no night rating in the USA!
There isn't?!!
"Black hole illusion" is also possible. It's a dangerous landing error in the dark.
What about the "featureless terrain illusion", also known as the "black hole effect"? Is it included in one of the illusions you have mentioned? Excellent teacher by the way!!

Are these lessons available in a PDF file format to download? You are amazing teacher 🙌 so easy to understand THANK YOU
why no new vids in 3 years?
CAN YOU PLEASE DO AN SERIES ON INSTRUMENT GROUND!?
Hi, the slope is vice versa
Thanks a lot from korea~
cyndy hollman ur my hero
I Love pilot
Thank you!
Missing ur videos maam
Martha King look out!
I want to be commercial pilot
Perception is nothing less than hallucination.
When you understand this you understand how unreliable our perception is.
We need more madam
Like when you have too much to drink and the room wont stop spinning.
👍⚘⚘⚘
We pilots get these illusions because we're all "High"
😂
