Look at these breathtaking pictures while driving in the sky. You cannot beat this classroom view. Even if you want flying to be an expensive hobby, the views are truly worth everything sacrificed.

Looking to become a pilot? I can give you the training to acquire your certification to be a pilot! See the link in my bio for sign up to get a 100% free consultation!

For most pilots, it’s difficult for them to visualize complex 3D airspace using a 2D Sectional Chart. This is an excerpt of my website that shows the 3D model of each airspace, VFR cloud clearances & visibility, required equipment, required pilot qualifications, airspeed restrictions, and types clearances for each airspace designated for airports. See the airspace page on my website for more airspace information!

This is how I made the video on the Altimeter Demonstration. Countless hours and a lot of 3D modeling experience.
Take note that every second in this video is roughly 2 minutes lapsing in the process of making this.
I consider this a hobby of mine, and if it helps others in any way, then it’s absolutely worth the time energy and patience.

Here are the three instruments I’ve recreated as 3D models in order to further demonstrate how they operate. They’re accurate to the actual instruments and mimic the functions exactly in order to give a real-world understanding of their function.

At my apartment, I was able to capture a time lapse of a cumulonimbus during the developing, mature, and dissipating stages.

This entire process was 2 hours, and as you can see, violent updrafts building the cloud tens of thousands of feet high.

What’s inside?
- Heavy Precipitation
- Severe Turbulence
- Heavy convective action
- Excessive updrafts and downdrafts
- Potential microbursts
- Wind shear
- Temperature inversion
- Vortices
- Potential hail
- Lightning

As a pilot, a good general rule of thumb is to circumnavigate at least 20 miles away from a large thunderstorm

Here’s the PA-28-181 Archer II fuel system diagram I made recently.

I used real images of the fuel systems (strainer, primer, pumps, etc.) and essentially traced over them to give the most realistic system diagram for pilots. This allows them to see what these things really look like as an accurate diagram.

The POH (Pilot’s Operating Handbook) includes an obscure diagram, that, may get the point across, but the student remembers a circle representing a fuel pump vs seeing the gear which connects to the engine in order for the system to be engine driven.

As a visual learner myself, I find it imperative that students are provided with the best visual depictions of complex subjects in order to further understand the matter at hand.

A universal fundamental constant in aviation that all pilots need to know: A relatively high pressure area always “seeks” a relatively low pressure area. In other words “High seeks Low”

This principle is relevant for all weather phenomena, winds, lift, the carburetor, some stall indicators, and more.

More coming soon.
