Seth, thank you for making these vids. They have been a huge help for my instrument and now commercial. Planning on a commercial ride in the next month or so.
Awesome thank you
Needed that laugh, thanks
Perfect explanation for those who is twice lawyer decided to become a CPL 😂😊
Mr. Lake I have a question for you regarding the check ride for IFR. My question is if you have auto pilot in your aircraft during the checkride, can you use it during the check ride? Let me clarify that for a moment. What I mean by using the auto pilot, when in certain situations where you can temporary turn on the auto pilot say to punch in a fix and then turn it off and the hand fly. I hope that makes sense for the asking.
Great question! If your aircraft is equipped with a operable autopilot that is capable of flying an approach most examiners will have you fly at least one approach using that autopilot. Additionally, several tasks within the instrument ACS specifically call our the use and evaluation of your ability to manage auto flight systems. Personally, I think it's solid single pilot resource management to turn the AP on during high workload tasks like briefing and preparing for an approach. If the evaluator feels you are using the AP too much, they may decide to simulate a AP failure though so make sure you don't use it too much. Appendix 3 only requires that one non-precision approach be flown from the IAF without the use of the AP. Hope this answers your question!
Question regarding AC61-142 (Common Purpose): Is the need to build hours not considered common purpose? I can pick anywhere on the map to fly to build hours. Why would flying someone to any destination and using pro-rata not be common purpose. I needed to build hours anyway and the flown destination was just as good as any for the purpose of building hours.
This is a good question and one that gets asked often. The building of hours is not considered a common purpose by the FAA. Paragraph 9 of AC 61-142 states: "...a private pilot have a common purpose with his or her passengers and have his or her own reason, other than the receipt of compensation for the flight, for traveling to the destination." This is also discussed in the 1985 Chero LOI where the FAA says pilots may not carry expense-sharing passengers to a destination at which they have no particular business. I hope this answers your question!
Part 2?
Hopefully I can record it soon!
Great advice! Thank you for you help!
Welcome!
Wow, good stuff!
Hello Mr lake I just wanted to come back and type of this message thanking you for the monumental help that you have provided both myself and everyone else watching as admittedly so this is an extremely stressful certificate to achieve leading up to the big day however I have officially passed and have it behind me now “PHEW” 😮💨 these series of videos and spotify podcasts came in handy more than a few times on several topics and even though we were operating off the new ACS that became active just a few weeks ago all the info was still relevant throughout the evaluation and I couldn’t thank you enough! Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback! Great job and congratulations!
If you are applying for commercial and have an instrument rating, you need to select both airplane single engine land and instrument airplane under "click here to edit US Standard Pilot Certificate information" under page 3. I recently got my instrument but it has not been processed yet. Without modifying this current certificate information, my commercial would be issued with the 50nm vfr day with passengers restriction. I discovered this on the summary page.
🤌🏽
Enlisted here in LRAFB working on my PPL, and bachelors at the same time. Great info here!
This is gold
Thanks for these videos sir!
I’m definitely going to be getting my Multi Entine add on at Captain Seth Lake’s school. This is high quality teaching.
I appreciate these videos. Travelled from Japan to take my checkride at KORK and these videos helped me be more than prepared for my checkride. Got my certificate on 20240610.
Fantastic video that really showed the practical applications of foreflight
Complimentary ramp check - YIKES!! It’s a trap! Run! 🤭
Thank you for revisiting this!
Hey I bought the PDF from your website(the VSL ACE guide 5.0) which is awesome except this version doesnt have the Scenario notes at the bottom like you have on here. Am I missing anything?
Thank you for your purchase! Version 5.5 will have the scenarios back in. Since the FAA decided to reformat I had to make changes on where to put the scenarios. You'll get a email when the new version is ready. Should be out in a week or two.
@@SethLakeDPE Excellent thank you!
@@SethLakeDPE just downloaded the new version, love the format! Thanks!🙏
Same thing for DoD. Commander has opcon. Your responsible for the mission.
Do you have one for helicopters?
Not yet. Maybe sometime in the future though!
Can you imagine how detailed and complicated the AD’s computer system is at ERAU!!!!😢
No joke!
@@SethLakeDPE with your genius, I would assume you get lots of questions pertaining to many questions. I'm curious if you feel sometimes being taken advantage of now that you are expanding your videos.
@@SethLakeDPE watching your 4part videos on the single engine series. For the 2nd time! Invaluable!
Ok. Now I'm thoroughly confused.
I've got some YT videos that go into more detail.
@@SethLakeDPE Use the GPS as primary, but have the actual VOR frequency tuned & identified on the "Bearing" indicator. I think I get it now. 👍
😂😂 your passenger door example, I’m sure Boeing would definitely support your statement
😆
Very helpful! Thank you for doing these!!
Seth - thanks a lot for your ACS videos. Just passed my IRA checkride in part thanks to your content. On to CPL now.
Great!
I also thought the power off 180 was an emergency maneuver. Makes more sense that it's an accuracy maneuver. This is really helping me prepare for the commercial checkride.
I'm preparing for my commercial and this is very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
thank you for all this information
I love this deep dive. Prepping for my check ride now and very pleased to find well organized and clearly presented information!
Found you after listening to your interview on the Pilot to Pilot podcast. I've just started flight training and your videos have been nothing short of immensely helpful to me in understanding not just the information provided but how it should be utilized & interpreted. Looking forward to more of these Student Pilot ACS guides - thank you!
does the dispatcher have operational control then?
It depends on the ops specs for the operator. Sometimes the dispatcher does, sometimes not.
There's nothing better than those who selflessly share valuable knowledge for free, helping to make this world a better place. Your generosity and dedication are truly inspiring. Thank you for all the amazing videos and for being such a positive force in the aviation community. Keep spreading the knowledge and positivity!
Thank and kind words! I'm passionate about the aviation industry and general aviation in particular. I owe much of my success to the generosity of others who've shared their knowledge with me. It's my pleasure to pay it forward.
Thanks for this deep dive. I'm curious about the pressure sensors at each bearing and how they relate to the reading at the oil pressure gauge. Does the gauge show the reading of the sensor with the lowest pressure?
There is only a single oil pressure transducer in the engine, no one for each bearing. To quote Thomas Sowell: "There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs." This especially applies to aviation. More pressure sensors would increase complexity which would decrease reliability. One is good enough, but knowing there is only one pressure sensor is good information for a pilot when dealing with a abnormal situation.
@@SethLakeDPE Ah, I was confused by the comment at around 16:50. Thanks for the clarification. I have my PPL and IR, but haven't flown in 15 years due to life circumstances. I'm trying to soak up as much as I can before getting back with a CFI, so thanks for the great content!
I'm currently prepping for a check ride, and did an impromptu mock oral with a senior CFI at my school yesterday. I got absolutely pulverized, so it's back to the grind! I found your channel today and am devouring what you've posted. Serendipity? I think so! Can't wait for part 3!
Best of luck in your studies! Check out my older Private Pilot videos as well. While they are a bit older they still have good info. I also have all this on Podcast format if you'd rather just listen. Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent work on expanding on 61.113 and common purpose. Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Hi Seth, I just passed my private pilot check ride over the weekend. The examiner kept asking me “who told you that?” during the oral portion. He said I had a much deeper comprehension and preparation than his average private pilot candidate. Much credit goes to you and your channel, so thank you!!
Congratulations! That's great to hear. The whole goal of mine when I started this was to help guys do better on their checkride and it's good to hear from people when that happens. Best of luck in your future flying!
This is awesome, thank you. Going to share with my student group.
Great! You're welcome!
Hey Seth, I’m looking to get my multi training and check ride done ASAP do you guys still have classes dates? Love your products your ace guide helped me so much in my instrument and commercial check rides
Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, I'm no longer doing multi courses. If you go to the website I have three schools that I recommend that do a great job though.
You rock, Seth.
What a great demonstration and video, thanks Seth.
Now, there is RTK+ using L1 and L2 bands, and it is beating the accuracy of WAAS, let's hope it gets aviation reliable grading soon.
Yes, I'm excited to see what new navigation systems become available in the future.
Now I want to go bowling 🎳 😊..great job , thanks Seth .
If flight hours can be considered as compensation, wouldn't the fix around that be to simply not log those hours?
That is a good perception on your part but simply being to willing to move passengers for compensation is illegal. You don't actually have to do it. This is a very gray area but the FAA has taken actions against pilots who showed simple intent but never actually flew anyone.
I was just introduced to your videos. After 3 years of trying to obtain my ppl, I'm finally feeling like I can do this. Three instructors and none of them have impressed upon me the importance of the ACS.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for the feedback and best of luck with your training!
Really appreciate this series! Thank you. It appears to be difficult to get a DPE to talk to you and give you insight into what to expect. I greatly appreciate your perspective and I’ve learned things not conveyed by my instructor and at least one thing I’ve been instructed in error.
Thanks for the feedback! You're welcome!
I just draw lines on my map, with little acronyms. Usually 3, for VFR flights. One for “WX” (approx 30nm out) One for “TOD” (found by the long-touch method you describe, adjusted as necessary) One 10nm out to remind me to request/change to tower & put ground in standby, noted as “T/GS”
Great technique!
What is a good source of engine failure statistics? I feel it would be good to know as a student pilot
NTSB website and Nall Report are best.
