VIDEO SELF STUDY ORIENTATIONS

Below please find aviation YouTube videos that cover a wide range of topics parallelling the training syllabi.  While the videos have general instructional overview value, their specifics are often not completely applicable to the aircraft that we fly.  These videos do not substitute nor supersede in person dual flight instruction, 1World Aero resources such as the Cockpit Procedures Guides and Checklists, nor review of the FAA Flight Training Handbooks, but rather provide an initial Orientation, particularly for videos on Flight Tasks. Video's made by the FAA complement FAA handbooks.  Video's on ADM will be referenced to correlate knowledge as you gain experience. 

 

Pilot's in Training are encouraged to review the video's related to their syllabus, take notes, and then compare with FAA Handbook guidance and 1World Aero materials.  1World Aero will sometimes recommend variations to techniques in flight instruction videos that are better adapted to the equipment and environment we operate within, or that are more consistent with FAA handbook guidance.  

 

A link to the FAA Handbooks is provided in the Resources Page.

 

Interested Prospects should also be able to see from this video list and associated follow up reading assignments, that while flying is hugely rewarding, it is also quite challenging, and requires a strong long term commitment.

What kind of pitch attitude should be used in a crippled climb out?  Channel: Mentour Pilothttps://youtu.be/330h41yZo-Q?si=wF6p7QrYidzx35PN

FUEL MANAGEMENT

Complications and dynamic poor weather at destination and alternates.  Impulsivity under pressure. How many alternates were selected prior to departure?  Did the aircraft divert to its alternate?   Discuss the term “minimum fuel.” Discuss how to keep situational awareness of your outs while enroute.  Discuss how the pressure of the situation affected the crew’s ability to maintain a stabilized approach.   Channel: Mentour Pilot https://youtu.be/ERXG4qoI4TA?si=M3yKzE9lQghre3gx

ADVANCED CROSS COUNTRY PLANNING

Piper Lance Stall Spin- Get There itis, Confirmation Bias, VFR into IMC. Declaring Emergencies. Familiarity with all onboard equipment. What are some resources that might have been used to mitigate risk preflight and then inflight?  Discuss how confirmation bias may have contributed to this fatal accident.

GO AROUND PROCEDURES

French Bee A350 - Importance of proficiency with go around sequences.   Task saturation, pilot incapacitation.  CRM.  Discuss the role of positive exchange of control in this incident.  Discuss why Go Around and Missed Approach Procedures need to be treated as Memory Items.  What are some other videos in this ADM list where improper Positive Exchange of control and Go Around procedures are contributing factors?  Channel:  Mentour Pilot  https://youtu.be/LAtcrdJqJDc?si=QIfKimyAU1UADn9X

SMALL CORRECTIONS, GO AROUND PROCEDURES

Fly Dubai loss of control - Sudden pilot disorientation in turbulent night instrument conditions. Fatigue, CRM/crew communications. What is a Sigmet?  Discuss how confusion of go around and windshear avoidance procedures contributed to this accident.  What is somatographic illusion and how is it mitigated? Similarly what are some golden rules for basic instrument flight control?  What is the role of degrees of pitch attitudes for aircraft control?  What is the correct recovery procedure for a Nose High Unusual Attitude?  How does the procedure mitigate negative G loads?  What are hazards of negative Gs?  Channel: Mentour Pilothttps://youtu.be/hq84tjaUHeA?si=mf5hClaJJ-zQmuD-

NORMALIZED NONCOMPLIANCE

ATR 72 Controlled Flight Into Terrain  Hazardous Attitudes - Invulnerability, Macho, Anti Authority. Slippery slope of cutting corners.  Standing up to more experienced pilots.  Constant Profile Non Precision Instrument Approaches   Discuss the challenge of standing up to a more experienced aviator/mentor when something seems wrong.   Discuss the slippery slope of normalized non-compliance and relaxing standards.

ICING

TBM Loss of Control Accident.

Concepts: Unpredictability of icing.  Advocating for your intentions.  Declaring an Emergency.  Value of Pireps. How much time did this TBM spend in severe icing? Was this plane approved for Flight Into Known Icing? Does the FIKI designation apply to severe icing?  What does this video infer about the predictability of severe icing.  How did the autopilot mode selection contribute to the accident? What were the pilot’s outs?

Cirrus Loss of Control Accident - Continuing into known icing conditions without diversion.  Invulnerability, macho, anti-authority. How long did this Cirrus spend in icing conditions?  Does this video infer that a pilot should panic when encountering icing?  What are the best exit strategies?  What is the OAT range most conducive to ice accretion?  Channel: AOPA Air Safety Foundation https://youtu.be/7rryvSQhK7k?si=4VDWjkTVieL8ZC-E

HAZARDOUS ATTITUDES

Hazardous Attitudes - Invulnerability, Macho. Flight into Convective Weather.  Microbursts. What is a microburst?  What is confirmation bias? What resources were available to this pilot to mitigate risk?  Channel:  Air Safety Foundation https://youtu.be/MBL1iy0V9VM?si=Bea0iq_wbXRxH1FE

TOWER AIRPORT COLLISION

LAX Runway Collision.   Crosschecking ATC.  Advocating for your intentions.  Purpose of Aircraft Lighting What conclusions do you draw about trusting ATC implicitly?  Who is ultimately responsible for the safety of flight of your airplane?  How do ATC distractions dealing with pilots or crews who are underperforming degrade safety for other users in the system?   Is the role of aircraft lighting arbitrary or discretionary?

BUSY TOWER SEQUENCING OF SMALL AIRCRAFT

Stall Spin Accident after multiple tower clearance changes.  Fatigue. Go Around Procedures.  Advocating for your Intentions.  Resignation.  What conclusions do you draw about the skills required for sequencing light aircraft into professional airspace from an ATC standpoint and a piloting standpoint.  What was the pilot’s out?  What does this accident infer about fatigue?  AOPA Air Safety Foundation https://youtu.be/mf3xhjXl454?si=KUHzypQpT-ZvMwkk

PROFESSIONAL PILOT ODYSSEY

View into Professional Pilot/Airline training (UK) Mostly entertainment value on highs and lows of training journey. Pertinent portions:  Attitude based finals (@12:30). CRM (@14:00, 26:30, 30:30, & 42:00). Expectations of Pro Pilots (@34:30).  Different Instructing styles & learning from mistakes @20:00 & 23:00) What was the pitch attitude the A320 instructor wanted set on final approach.  What was the tolerance?  What pitch attitudes are we using for normal vs short field approaches?

What comment does the Chief Instructor in New Zealand make about training recreational vs professional pilots?  How does that comment square with General Aviation vs Commercial aviation accident statistics?  What does this video show about struggling and overcoming critique?
