This video is almost as old as I am but the content is still very valid. The symptoms of hypoxia do not change over the years. Although it is a black and white film, pay close attention to how the pilot responds to the verbal instructions he is given. Also, pay attention to his body movements for signs of hypoxia. The simulator is at 35,000 feet when his oxygen mask is removed. Old but excellent.

Are you just beginning to learn how to make radio calls? Would you like to be able to hear them more than once a day? Well, here is your chance. The following MP3 files are recorded radio calls that you can play repeatedly. This way you can tune your ear to what your are listening for as well as what you need to say for each call.

There always exists the potential that he will ask you to name and explain the three no lift areas. If he asks, what will you say? This video explains each of the three no lift areas in detail.
Your check pilot may ask you to explain dissymmetry of lift. You will want to begin with a simple definition, “It is the difference in lift between the advancing and retreating blades.” But what if he wants more? What will you say and how will you explain it? This short video will help you through those steps.
This is the first audio podcast I’ve posted. I’ll try to post at least one per week. Each of these podcasts will be less than 5 minutes and will surround a checkride topic. This week’s topic is hypoglycemia. This podcast discusses what you should know for checkride on this aeromedical topic.
You should have pre-planned answers to each of the major aerodynamic categories listed in the checkride sequence in your Flight Training Guide. You should be able to draw and explain, in detail, each of these aerodynamic concepts. This video will explain the concept of settling with power. For an actual video of an aircraft that is settling with power, go check out the tutorial on the Aviation Trainer web site.
What is hypoxia?
- What are the types of hypoxia?
- What are the stages of hypoxia?
- What are some symptoms of hypoxia?
- What are the altitudes and oxygen saturation levels for each stage of hypoxia?
You should be prepared to answer each of these questions. In addition, you should be prepared to explain each type of hypoxia. A sample of this question might be, “What is hypemic hypoxia?” This video will cover the basics of hypoxia. For additional information and some good videos of pilots suffering from hypoxia, refer to the tutorial on the Aviation Trainer web site.
Since all of you have received a basic aerodynamic course, your check pilot will expect you to be able to explain the basic aerodynamic concepts. One of the most basic concepts is understanding an airfoil and total aerodynamic force (TAF). At a bare minimum, you should be able to diagram an airfoil that includes TAF. This video will explain how this is done.
