00:01I put that turn on the fuel pump well it looks like we're in and out of the
00:06Sun again okay we're coming we're coming up on kids the Crenshaw are true a Q
00:14which is our Crestville
00:32so I turn on the fuel pump it topped off this tank in a real aircraft I understand
00:41from my research that in a real airplane you turn it on and when it when it
00:48balances the fuel out so right tank dumps fuel into the left tank to replenish it
00:54from what was taken by the engine and it stops so you can really leave it on but
00:59that's probably not a good practice because motors you know a pump is motor
01:05driven the pumps give out so you don't want to just fly along on a long flight
01:10like this one especially I didn't look along any flight and just leave that on
01:15yes it's convenient but that's not something that you probably don't want
01:20to do
01:24so on this
01:28crystal you know there's a lot of good things that some of the things I'm
01:31finding out about these are these are cities that you really don't think about
01:39yes
01:42got some more good views coming up lots of good things they just kind of fly by
02:01let's see what that is on the left I mean on the right it's hard to tell
02:10it was an airport coming up but I don't think that's it well it's not coming up we're gonna we're
02:16gonna pass it it's gonna be yeah kind of up here
02:20that's the bar of sky
02:29that's the bar of sky
02:49people's and highways like I can
02:52is it
02:53uh it's a town of uh it's got uh not sure how the elevation there i mean the uh population
03:03but um it's got an elevation most like most cities in the city 235 foot uh
03:13it was the oldest spot in the state at one time i'm not sure how that changes you know i
03:22guess
03:22they discovered the new old spot i'm not sure i'm not sure how that came about but that's
03:28research i've done on it never been i know i've driven through there before probably without
03:34realizing it so to think about this fuel this fuel state what makes it crucial
03:53um this aircraft has a 44 foot wingspan and if you know anything you think back in grade school
04:00where you did the uh weight and balance thing like susie on the susie and bob on the susie and
04:06bobby
04:07on the cheater trotter and they give the weights of each and then they um bob bobby weighs more than
04:16susie normally so you have to do the weight and balance to figure out how far out do you need
04:25to
04:26extend susie how far out do susie have to sit to um exceed the weight uh equal the weight of
04:36bobby
04:37even though susie weighs a little less kind of like that way so you think fuel
04:42so right now let me see if i can get the quantity where's my cursor here we go
04:50so left tank has about 20 gallons and the right tank has five gallons that's a big imbalance
05:02so um you could do the weight and balance now the tanks are not at the edge of the fuel
05:08at the edge of the wings but they're in the wings it uses jet fuel and that ways that it
05:17varies with
05:18temperature that's with uh half gas but it's uh 6.7 to 7.8 or something like that per power
05:26so i might be way off on that
05:31okay i got an alert flashing airspace near and ahead
05:54okay
05:55okay let's be some turbinates because i am
06:05being bounced around and uh we're going straight
06:11okay
06:19so
06:21so
07:12So in real world flying, autopilot could actually cause structure damage on an aircraft.
07:25If you're flying through turbulence and you don't disengage the autopilot, it could cause,
07:31I think, although I think some of the new themselves, they've been reconfigured to where they disengage.
07:37Yeah, so here we go.
07:39So many forces, so many, so much force on the flight controls, it'll disengage the autopilot.
07:48Now, I don't know if you're flying through turbulence and you don't disengage it, and the autopilot is struggling with
07:59these servos, trying to turn it in one way,
08:04and the turbulence is pulling another one.
08:06I don't know if that counts, but I do know my flight instructors always told me was, if you're in
08:13turbulence like this, disengage the autopilot.
08:17Well, not necessarily like this, because I can't feel it.
08:21That's one of the disadvantages of the flight simp is you don't have that seat of the pants feeling.
08:27But light turbulence, medium turbulence, I guess, I guess it'd be severe turbulence.
08:35I have been in turbulence where I had to make a, it was like a full deflection of the flight
08:41control to stay level.
08:44You know, I'm going full left aileron, left stick, and the turbulence, it was like I was caught in a
08:54water.
08:54It's like a weight turbulence or something, but I wasn't.
08:57I was that cruising after two.
08:59Hey, I see a balloon.
09:03You gotta see that balloon.
09:16How cool is that?
09:31I got to come back around.
09:33What happened to it?
09:39Yeah.
10:05And while we're here let me pull this up and see where we are.
10:10Not that lower yet.
10:17We are at an airport that's on our right.
10:31I guess they have a lot of springs up in this area.
10:35So let's see if we can see it.
10:37I see something.
10:39So what does this airport look like?
10:41It's got parallel runways, parallel, random parallel to where we are.
11:06And I don't see it.
11:16And I see it.
11:19And I can see it.
11:40So these clouds appear to be not an overcast so if we needed to, if we was on top and
11:50needed
11:50to get down, you got mounds or space in between the clouds that you could easily descend down
11:58through them without going through any changes and you wouldn't be able to do that when we
12:05are from the east coast.
12:06You got so many mounds and the terrain rises so high, there's no way that you could cruise
12:12at 3500 feet.
12:23You know, this in-op tag really works well because I actually moved the one to Cajun.
12:33I actually looked at, started looking at these numbers and then this tag is here and that's
12:42the purpose of it.
12:44There's been a lot of cases where someone just uses, I think I mentioned it earlier, where
12:50someone uses these in-op instruments because they don't tag them.
12:56You can bounce up and I actually had, for the conventional instruments, I had these little
13:03suction cups that could go over your instrument that's, you're determined to be bad.
13:07Because it's human nature, you're going to use it, you're going to try to use it.
13:26Yeah, we don't have a pain in the fuel.
13:51That's cool.
