Awesome series, very good indeed!

[jmann]

Yeah he did a good job. I'm sure some people could of been more technical here and there or done it different but I have gotten the most out of his videos as a whole. He made things more easy to understand.

Yeah you bet! Your decent video made me finally pickup an E6B and learn to use it. I used it to calculate my TH for a short 50nm trip. I factored in the magnetic variation and wind speed and direction at cruse altitude and based it off an average I got between my departing and arrival airports. I double checked weather half way threw the flight via atis along my route about 20nm after take off and the weather was still the same. I did not use the gps and I was spot on with my destination airport.

Now granted this was a short flight with 30ish winds at 3500 but a good start. I need to get more proficient and double check mid flight and work the problem backwards if the winds are unknown.

Almost forgot.. I double checked the HI to compass every 5 minutes as it really wanted to drift.

Thank you so much Desparoto!
I recently started to learn with the A2A C172 and your Series is very very helpful.

Yeah the Videos of Desparoto/Country Fly Boy is really good! Thanks for that!

I was wondering which Checklists did he used? The one within in the A2A Manual or a own, maybe a real Cessna, Checklist.
Does anybody have an idea?

[Matthew Flies]

Good Tutorial! I like it, thanks for that.

I was wondering which Checklist did you use Desparoto. The checklist from the A2A Manual or a checklist from Cessna?

I believe in one of his videos he mentioned he uses a different checklist. Here is the one I use for the 172R and 172S

Laminated it and it fits perfectly in my kneeboard. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/p ... eboard.php

Thanks, I am searching kind of a complete/whole "Flowlist" which could be very detailed Checklist. Not sure if the A2A one covers EVERYthing. So I was wondering which one would be the best for a beginner with the A2A.
