WW2 New Guinea Sightseeing Disaster in Hidden Valley/Shangri-La By Frank's MS Flight Sim In 1945, during WW2, in Dutch New Guinea, a USAAF C-47 Skytrain sightseeing flight went horribly wrong. Intending to over-fly recently discovered beautiful Hidden Valley / Shangri-La, with its stone age-type natives, the aircraft crashed high in the mountains surrounding the narrow entrance pass into the Valley. Only 3 of the 24 on board survived after an agonising six weeks in the jungle. Hope you find this interesting. Cheers.

New Zealand's 1st Licensed Airline, Air Travel (NZ) By Frank's MS Flight Sim Much loved and respected Bert Mercer started New Zealand's first licensed airline with his De Havilland Fox Moth in 1934 servicing the rugged, west coast of NZ's South Island. His airline, Air Travel (NZ) Ltd, grew in scope and popularity, and provided valuable service during WW2. It ceased operations when subsumed by NZ's nationalization of its airlines in 1947. Mercer himself died tragically as a passenger in one of his own aircraft in 1944. Hope you find it interesting. Cheers.

Descent Planning Made Easy - NO VNAV or Calculator Required By thecorporatepilotdad Two methods used in descent planning are demonstrated. The first method is extremely simple and shows when to start the descent based on time. Method 2 shows when to start the descent based on distance and what rate of descent is required. VNAV makes descent planning easy, but for jets like the FlySimware Lear 35, there is no FMS, and no VNAV. Descent planning is easy without VNAV, and after watching this video, you will be able to plan a descent without the aid of VNAV. One thing to consider when descending is true airspeed (TAS). TAS will drop significantly from cruise altitude to altitudes below 10,000 feet (in a jet). Will descent rate stay the same during the descent or will it change? A combination of methods 1 and 2 will make descent planning easy. The simple math for both methods are shown at the end of the video.

Grand Canyon Mid-Air Collision, June 1956, Arizona, USA By Frank's MS Flight Sim At 10:31 am, on 30 June 1956, TWA and UAL airliners collided mid-air over the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, and crashed into the Canyon. All 128 people on the airliners perished. At the time, it was the worst aircraft accident in the USA. It shocked the nation and the world. It led to the eventual radical improvement in ATC through changed procedures, new technology and more personnel. Hope this video helps us to fly even more safely. Cheers.

Australia's Only Civil IFR Mid-Air Collision By Frank's MS Flight Sim Come see this sad video about Australia's only mid-air collision between two civil aircraft in IFR flight. It happened in 2020 and took the lives of four people including my own CFI. It should never haver happened. We'll look at the circumstances of the accident and what's been done since to help prevent the same sort of thing happening again. Again, the Swiss Cheese Model of Accident Causation applies here. Hopefully this video will help those of us who fly for real to be even more safety conscious.

Learn To Fly Here #5 | Visual Glideslope Indicators By thecorporatepilotdad Visual glideslope indicators are commonly used. VASIs (Visual Approach Slope Indicator) and PAPIs (Precision Approach Path Indicator) are the most common but some rare systems are also covered which includes the P-VASI (pulsating VASI) and TRCV (Tri-colorVASI). These visual approach glideslope indicators are normally visible up to 4 miles in the daytime and 10 miles at night and will provide obstacle clearance if the proper glide path is maintained. VASIs show if the aircraft is too high, too low, or on glide path. The PAPI shows above or below glide path, but also slightly high and slightly low. PAPIs are often found on runways with instrument approaches such as an ILS approach. This video shows how to find airport information using the Chart Supplement. The Chart Supplement is formerly known as the Airport Facility Directory and is a physical publication printed every 56days. Now, the information is available online on the FAA website. This video was made with Microsoft Flight Simulator and is for entertainment purposes only. Always consult applicable publications for real world applications concerning systems and limitations for specific aircraft. thecorporatepilotdad Youtube channel About The Author This video is produced by thecorporatepilotdad.

Learn To Fly Here #4 | The Constant Speed Propeller By thecorporatepilotdad Learn To Fly Here Video #4. The constant speed propeller is explained but also illustrated while in flight with the help of some graphics that move as controls and power settings change. The propeller control lever directly changes the pitch of the propeller blades and this video shows what happens to the blades while inflight. This video talks about how the propeller works and how to use it correctly. This video also talks about different propeller types such as climb and cruise props. How to set the propeller control and the order of throttle, prop lever, and mixture is demonstrated as well as the order of operation for increasing power. High and low pitch stops can make a constant speed propeller act like a fixed pitch propeller. This video explains why. It also explains why an aircraft like the Cirrus SR22 has a constant speed propeller but NO PROP LEVER. This video was made with Microsoft Flight Simulator and is for entertainment purposes only.

Learn To Fly Here #3 | How Flight Instruments Work | Required Equipment | Inop Equipment | FARs By thecorporatepilotdad What is a six pack? This video explains what a six pack is and how each of the primary flight instruments work. Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) are referenced to discuss which instruments and equipment are required for flight, as well as inoperative equipment and where to find the answer on what to do if something is broken to still legally fly an airplane. Microsoft Flight Simulator is used for the demonstration of this topic. This video is NOT meant to replace training from a qualified flight instructor. Video is for entertainment purposes but you may find it educational. The systems discussed include airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, turn coordinator, directional gyro, vertical speed indicator, true airspeed, tachometer, navigation lights, and much more. For more information on flight instruments refer to: FAA Handbook Chapter 8: Flight Instruments thecorporatepilotdad Youtube channel About The Author This video is produced by thecorporatepilotdad.

Learn To Fly Here #2 | Engine Starting | Propeller Safety | ACS | MSFS By thecorporatepilotdad As a professional pilot and former Certified Flight Instructor the following is a presentation of engine starting and some situations to consider before and after starting an aircraft engine. This video follows the Airman Certification Standards (ACS) as a guide and covers situations when engine starting would not be done and what steps need to be taken to safely start an engine considering surroundings, nearby personnel and passengers, wheel chocks, and much more. Microsoft Flight Simulator is used, but for demonstration purposes, real-life situations, checklists, and procedures are used in the video. A general Before Starting and Engine Starting checklist are followed with step by step descriptions for each step along with some aircraft limitations for the aircraft used in the video. A general demonstration of a stuck starter following the Airplane Flying Handbook is also shown. There is also a small discussion and example of an NTSB case study of an incident that occurred as a result of an aircraft not being ready for starting. Future videos in the Learn To Fly Here series will follow the FAA Airman Certification Standards for the Private Pilot Airplane license. thecorporatepilotdad Youtube channel About The Author This video is produced by thecorporatepilotdad.
