This week on the Finer Points of Flying videotip, we will look closely at what wake turbulence is, how it forms and most importantly, how to avoid it.

This week we will look at water landings and ditching procedures.  Like any flight that involves significant terrain change, part of the pre-flight planning if preparing for that environment.  Learn today more about the emergency procedures during a water landing.

This week, weʼll explore further into the world of complex operations.  With more to do in the cockpit, it is important that proper checklist procedures are a part of every training flight.  Today, learn a few tips that can help optimize your procedures and significantly increase safety.

This week on the Finer Points of Flying Video Tip, we’ll look a little closer at the cloud formations to watch out for while flying through the mountains.  It is these formations that can alert you to hazardous conditions.

This week we will discuss procedures for leaning, and how to optimize aircraft performance by adjusting the mixture.

This week, we’ll be looking a little closer at why we lean the mixture during flight.  Learn the fundamentals and stay tuned for part III, where we will look at specific procedures to optimize your leaning technique.

This week on the Finer Points of Flying we will take a closer look at carburetor Ice, how it happens and how to avoid it.

This week we see an example of how synthetic vision works on the Cirrus Perspective by Garmin.  Synthetic Vision is available on many glass cockpit airplanes and it contributes to your flying safety.

This week on The Finer Points of Flying, we will talk about how to
effectively scan for traffic.  With GPS technology changing rapidly, more and more of our time is being spent in the cockpit rather than outside scanning for traffic.  We will continue last episodeʼs discussion of scanning and look at some techniques for integrated that with technically advanced aircraft.

This week on The Finer Points of Flying, we will talk about how to effectively scan for traffic.  With GPS technology changing rapidly, more and more of our time is being spent in the cockpit rather than outside scanning for traffic.  We will review tips on how to scan and review the FAA recommended procedures.

This week we will take a closer look at vspeeds and how to optimize your
performance by calculating important performance speed for each flight. Fly your best!

This week we look, in depth, at an IFR clearance.  Learn about the 6
elements that must be contained in every IFR clearance.

This week we will look at how to use runway markings and signs to further
increase our safety and use in accuracy exercises.

These are some important factors to remember and stay aware of during your takeoff and climb out procedures. Fly your best!

Lets hear a lesson on what you should keep in mind during the engive startup and the runup.

A radio malfunction leaves you dependent on other means of communication.

Description:This week we will discuss Temporary Flight Restrictions.  Learn how to optimize your pre-flight planning and learn details about the TFR system. Learn valuable tools to pflight free of TFRs. Fly your best, Jason

A radio malfunction is urgent, but you still have time to troubleshoot and perform a few important tasks when entering a traffic pattern with no working radio.

When flying in the clouds it is important to maintain situational awareness and stay ahead of the airplane.  In this video tip we discuss using a memory aid known as the 5 T’s to their maximum effectiveness adding safety and awareness to your personal flying or IFR flight training.

This week we get a useful tip for the run-up as wel as looking at what a "check" list is really about.

There are some common errors I see during Taxi out to the runway. In this video we'll cover wind correction, safety checks, and power settings during the Taxi out.

This week we get a detailed understanding of speeds in aviation. Indicated, calibrated, true and ground. Fly your best, Jason

Density altitude is the altitude your plane thinks and acts like it is at. It's very important to understand what effect your density altitude has on your aircraft's performance.
Fly your best,
Jason

Another use for the E6-B Flight Computer is the calculation of your density altitude using air temperature and pressure altitude.

Fly Your Best,
Jason

This is our first look at the E6B Flight Computer. See how easy it is to figure your ground speed, and how long it will take to get to your destination.

In this week's tip we go over an example using a mathematical take off distance chart. Please enjoy The Finer Points! Fly Your Best, Jason

Manufacturers differ in their delivery of performance chart data and you must be sure you understand the basics of how to read them both. This week's flying tip is the first, in a series of three, that shows the differences in the presentation of take off distance data. Please enjoy The Finer Points!

The last thing you do before you get in the airplane is 360 walk around to confirm you are ready to fly. In this video you will review a basic procedure that can dramatically increase your safety. Fly Your Best, Jason

This week we're going to relax and travel back in time to look at an aviation safety video released by Chevy Motors. Fly Your Best! Jason

The difference between Checklists and 'Do' lists is an important distinction that is often overlooked. This critical distinction will add redundancy and safety to your flying. Fly Your Best, Jason

In this week's tip we look at two ways to descend when flying Non Precision Approaches. This podcast can improve your technique, expand your knowledge and increase your safety. Please enjoy The Finer Points! Fly Your Best, Jason

Over the years I have heard many debates about non precision approach descent rates.  Should one fly a stabilized 500 foot per minute descent? Or should one descend rapidly to get down low and find the field.  We recently flew the Napa 36 L Localizer approach and came up with some data that might suggest being fluid with both types and applying the most appropriate to the terrain hazards and conditions.  Please enjoy The Finer Points!
