After we complete our preflight planning I provide you with a radio communication tutorial where I talk to you about some techniques I use which make radio communication easier. Next is a weight & balance, followed by calculating performance, determining important Vspeeds and obtaining a standard weather briefing. This includes a review of the airspace along our route, gathering important information from the chart and the airport facility directory, determining our course, wind correction, heading, flight time and fuel burn. Part 1 includes all the detailed flight planning involved for our flight from the Reid-Hillview Airport (RHV), in San Jose, CA to the Half Moon Bay Airport (HAF) which is on the Pacific coast, just south of San Francisco. The camera follows my every move so that you see exactly how I perform all of the tasks involved. You get the benefits of both explanations and demonstrations. I would describe the video in the following way: It is like you are sitting next to me as I take you through the entire process of planning out a flight and then flying. The final product includes 2 hours and 36 minutes of video. The rear camera was hooked up to the intercom, in order to capture all of the radio communication during our two flights. One camera went in the back for the forward view, another on the dash so that you can see me and finally a third camera which he held during the flight to show what my hands were doing, closeups of instruments, and views out the window. (more on that later) and then set up cameras in a Cessna 172.

Jake filmed me doing extensive fight planning, for a rather interesting flight. I also want them to hear all of the radio communication. During the flight I want them to be able to see the flight instruments, out the window, and exactly what I'm doing. Here are the instructions I gave Jake: I want the viewer to feel like they are on a lesson with me. I think you'll agree that he did a great job. I ended up hiring Jake Richmond, the owner of Volta Productions.

I know next to nothing about video production and I wanted to develop a quality product for my students, so I hired a professional videographer. A video where they see me planning a flight and then actually flying, while explaining to them exactly what I'm doing. Well, a number of years ago, I came up with an idea: What if I could develop a video for my students to watch before flying, where I show them how things are done in the real world. Even most flight training videos offer a classroom presentation, rather than showing you actual flying. Here's the problem: Most flight training study materials are boring! Most deal with theory, rather than real-world flying. As a result, they are able to finish their flight training or flight review in less time, which means they end up saving money. Those who study beforehand, end up doing better. The same goes for private pilots who show up for their flight review. Working as a flight instructor for years, here's something I've noticed: Students perform better in the air, when they take the time to study on the ground. I've been a commercial pilot and certificated flight instructor since 2002. Our brand new high resolution printer, high quality paper, and vivid inks are optimized to print these types of graphics.My name is Brendan Quinn-Narkin.

We also sell printed versions in many sizes. Paper quality, printer resolution, print settings are significant factors when printing and will affect print quality. Not all printers are able to print this at sufficient resolution to look sharp and crisp. The graphic makes a great study guide for your next check ride or as a celebratory gift for any aviation enthusiast. This print is highly detailed and accurate to the real aircraft. This particular configuration is of a Cessna 172P Skyhawk with dual Garmin 430 avionics. The digital graphic is great for aircraft familiarization.

The textures have been created using actual aircraft photos. This Cessna 172 Skyhawk digital cockpit graphic will look wonderful printed on your wall.
