Some good training videos for flying at Non-Towered Airports!
1. Non-Towered Airport Challenges (5:40)
2. Non-Towered Airports: Safe Approach (11:15)
3. Non-Towered Airports: Traffic Patterns (12:16)
PilotWorkshop.com: Flying at Non-Towered Airports
This affects most of us most of the time!
I really recommend taking the time to watch/listen to these. They are not videos per se but rather 'presentations', so are less punitive on your bandwidth!
Safe Skies!

Non towered?? Have been flying 40 years and have never heard them called that. I prefer "uncontrolled airfields".

This was purely in keeping with the title of the training modules, which are clearly USA-based!tka wrote:Non towered?? Have been flying 40 years and have never heard them called that. I prefer "uncontrolled airfields".
Call them what you want, I simply hope that you found some benefit in a refresher on the subject!

Re: Flying at Non-Towered Airports: Training Videos!
It is great that that you take the time to connect pilots with information but it must be relevant i.e. Icao based as our CARS are tied to ICAO. I had a look at one of the presentations and as you say, this is clearly USA based and I believe that SA pilots should not take the info on board.
The only good advise was listen out in advance and switch your landing lights and strobes on - which all pilots should know from their initial training. But all the weather and coms aids/ acronyms and joining at 45 deg on downwind etc have no place in SA aviation.
I am not trying to jump on you but it is confusing enough for pilots with all the info available so lets not bring the FAA into it aswell.
Fly safe and have fun.
