Audio Ground School by Part Time Pilot

Episode #61 - Ground Speed & Magnetic Heading

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast is going to be all about providing student pilots with ANOTHER way that they can consume the Private Pilot curriculum.
The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it.
The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school.
You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive.
This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture.
Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 350 students take and pass their Private Pilot exams without a SINGLE STUDENT FAILING. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more.
Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.
 
Episode 61:
In this episode, we continue our cross-country planning with a deep dive into Ground Speed & Magnetic Heading. You'll learn how it's calculated, why it's indispensable for precise flight planning, and how it influences your flight's efficiency. But there's more to it than meets the eye – discover how atmospheric conditions, particularly wind, can either give your flight a boost or throw in a challenge.

Episode 60:
In this episode, we continue our cross-country planning by exploring the vital concept of calculating True Airspeed (TAS) during both the cruise and descent phases of flight. Pilots must be prepared to recalculate TAS as they change altitudes or encounter temperature variations during their journey. Understanding and using TAS ensures safer and more efficient flights in varying atmospheric conditions.

Episode 59:
In this episode, I explain how to find true airspeed for your cross-country plan during the climb phases of your flight. During climb, you are taught to target an indicated airspeed such as best rate or best angle of climb. Therefore, we must start from an indicated airspeed to get to our true airspeed. I explain how and go over a few examples.

Episode 58:
In this episode, we continue our cross-country planning by determining the distance it is going to take us to descend from our cruise altitude to our landing airport traffic pattern so that we can plan accordingly in our flight plan checkpoints. Then, we review the concept of airspeeds and discuss the different airspeeds used in aviation and what they mean to us as pilots; indicated airspeed, calibrated airspeed, true airspeed and ground speed.

Episode 57:
In this episode, we talked about Distance to Climb to Cruise Altitude, this crucial aspect of aviation that directly impacts fuel consumption, time efficiency, and passenger comfort during a flight. By planning and optimizing the climb phase, pilots can achieve a safe and smooth ascent while minimizing fuel usage and environmental impact. I also share my trick to make your cross-planning a little easier and more straight forward.
