Enjoyed the segment on the Wx radar. To manage ground clutter at lower altitudes, you need to know where the bottom of the radar beam is. Start with the diameter of the radar antenna to give you the width of the beam in degrees. Most radar beams are conical, so it is the same width vertically as well as horizontally. For example, a 10 inch antenna will give you a 10 degree wide beam (12 inch = 8 degrees, 18 inch = 6 degrees, etc.). Half of that width is 5 degrees. Knowing the tilt angle (which represents the center of the beam), draw an imaginary line out from the nose (or wing) 5 degrees below that tilt number and there is the bottom of your beam. If the tilt is set to 5 degrees up, the bottom of your 10 degree wide beam is roughly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the airplane. Put another way, if you were on the runway for takeoff and you set the tilt to +5 degrees, the bottom of the beam is roughly parallel to the ground. With stabilization, the bottom of the beam will remain parallel to the ground after takeoff. 
Now, use this as the basis for tilt management. At low altitudes, you don't want ground clutter. So, the bottom of your beam should be at least parallel to the ground to keep the beam off the ground and not producing any ground clutter returns on your screen. When you start getting above the mid teens in altitude, you can start to use ground clutter to give extra clues as to what you are looking at on your screen. There is much more to this technique than I am providing here. There are books and manuals that describe this. Beware of the instructor who warns you to eliminate ground clutter. Down low, yes. Up high, ground clutter is useful. If your instructor doesn't understand this, seek other guidance.
This is the tip of the radar iceberg, so to speak. I use to teach how to use Wx radar. Retired now, but this seemed like a good place to throw out my 2 cents. Of course, modern automation is helping pilots get useful information from their radar without having to know some of the basics. However, I always thought it was good to have a handle on some of the basics to better understand the automation.

50 yrs ago, flying IMC on  "steam gauges" & VOR's I wondered greatly of coming advances in aeronautical capabilities. Some Old Line Pilots were washing out of transition training to 737's, and I grew very curious as to why. A newly hired Southwest FIrst Officer friend of mine sympathetic to my wondering gifted me a 737 Operating Manual. After months of study, it became apparent that the cause for such a high attrition rate in Transition Training  was the older pilot's inability to "interface" with the highly automated aircraft and its FMS. The necessity to complete all the steps to "program" the FMS & manage systems without a flight engineer led directly to the concept of "Crew Management" & shared command responsibilities. By the way, not being a jet pilot, it took me almost four yrs of a couple of hours every night or so before a working knowledge of that plane dawned on me. I still can quote the required  hydrolic pressures for specific control surfaces. Oy vey! PS. Back then, almost all airline pilots held A/P Licenses.

That's the best layout Ive seen to date and he engine management panel is AMAZING.  So visible, wow

@antoniog9814

5:12 I find it excellent that Justin does not miss an opportunity for a good burn, LOL. My friends & I are like that.

@gtr1952

Well Josh, I agree with you 100+% that everything Garmin brings to the table is amazing!  Compared to even 20 years ago it's leaps and bounds better!  So much so it goes a long way in saving lives!  Now, the proverbial "but",  It's so expensive!!  I would bet that all the glass on the panel of that Baron cost 50% of the price of the plane itself!  I would also bet that if we poled all the Baron owners we could find, the percentage that could afford to, and would do it, is very low!  Just GA owners in general,  here's all this stuff that could save your life,  sorry,  can't afford it for one reason or another.  All that is NOT a hit on Garmin!  It's expensive to develop, test, certify and market all that technology. It's just somehow we need to find a way to do that. It's not luxury items, they are tools to make flying safer and save lives. Sorry, didn't intend to rant.  8(    Peace   --gary

@gorionzorander2943

Nice i saw Jessica on citation Max  this week.

@graysono

Wow! 

You're so right. 

The age of GA planes - and pilots too! - totally needs new avionics and systems. 

To help the young guns!

I did wonder if the lad was falling asleep in the back! 

Another neat watch Josh.

@AirborneGeek

This channel is highly underrated for what it is

@_FNQ

Interesting and exciting stuff coming out of Garmin. That was an impressive, albeit simple, demonstration.

@thomasmixson7064

A 172 may satisfy your flight regime requirements, but it seems to me a 182 might be a better fit. It would, for slightly higher operational costs, provide vastly expanded  performance capabilities and subsequent margins of safety.

@jimcook6682

Enjoying another of your great videos Josh and the way you explain avionics. I think you need a Baron. From Olive Branch, MS

@thebadgerpilot

Heard Jessica on the Pilot’s Discretion Podcast this week.  She’s a great ambassador for Garmin and updating old panels

@CLdriver1960

Great content as usual guys, keep up the good work! 👍

@coltonwellnitz1169

Thanks for visiting Kansas, Josh! Austin’s is one of my favorite spots in KC also!

@brettstephens9661

Man been watching for for 5 years now and this airport is 5 mins from me. It would have been cool to meet you and go up with you.

@MuhamadZahin

hello from Singapore josh . Always enjoyed your video

@johnvanduren4806

Another fantastic video, if one was in the market for a Baron in great shape, why would you not have the entire Garmin system installed, safety first, everything else follows.

@JanFischer-xh8my

thanks for bringing back the old intro :-) at least partly

@goldcfi7103

The auto-feather and rudder boost on the King Air 250 series is a life saver!

@davenelson-yd2mv

Hi western KY hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving
