Commercial Pilot Course | Airspeed Indicator – Epic Flight Academy

Welcome to Epic Flight Academy’s Commercial Pilot Course! This course, taught by Mike Thompson, builds upon the foundation of the Private and Instrument courses, introducing more advanced topics that every commercial pilot must understand. In this lesson, Mike explains the Airspeed Indicator, one of the most important flight instruments. You’ll learn how to interpret its operating ranges, understand the relationship between thrust and power, and explore the differences between Vx (best angle of climb) and Vy (best rate of climb)—critical concepts for performance and safety. #CommercialPilotTraining #EpicFlightAcademy #AirspeedIndicator #PilotTraining #FlightSchool 🕒 Chapters 0:00 – Introduction 0:32 – Airspeed indicator 1:10 – Airspeed indicator operating ranges 2:18 – Vx and Vy 2:38 – Thrust and power are NOT the same thing 3:35 – Maximum angle of climb 6:20 – Maximum rate of climb Whether you’re refining your understanding of performance charts or preparing for your commercial checkride, this lesson will help you fly more efficiently and confidently. ✈️ Start your Commercial Pilot training at Epic Flight Academy: https://epicflightacademy.com/commerc... Mike Thompson is the author of "Telling Is Not Teaching", which promotes the idea that the “new school” of teaching that embraces electronic technology cannot sacrifice the “old school” of human relationships because the human brain still learns in largely the same way that it has for millennia.
