Been watching since all I could do was dream of flying - now I'm a CFII and still tune in to see what else I can learn from you :) I really like your idea of looking at the plate even before departure! Partly because it makes sure what you have is current, and secondly it's one less thing to surprise you in the air. ONE THING... "NA" on an approach plate means "Not Authorized". Love this safer pilot challenge series!
18/18. Another valuable lesson. In addition to the fixes/altitudes you highlighted I always highlight the distances from the airport fixes to the airport (at non-towered airport) so I can make my radio calls & announce my position in miles and altitude so that non-instrument pilots flying will know where I am when I’m on the approach.
Thanks for your work Jason. The first thing I look at when briefing an approach is if the chart is current (right side margin of the plate), then up to the top as you do. 👍
Doing 18 on Day 19. I'll catch up tonight I hope. The iPad, Foreflight, Avidine/Garmin navigator and autopilot - almost essentials for IFR these days. Our club plane and I have all that. But I gotta say, my brain melted as you went through all that in real time.
18 / 18. Working on my PPC. Passed written (87%) after doing MzeroA ground school, and am learning my way around the G1000 flying in a C172. Great videos.
Watched this one yesterday, but didn’t comment. It’s great to see what sort of things I will be looking at when I start working on an IFR rating. This makes 18 for 18.
18/18. I'm impressed how you can divide your attention between talking to the camera and listening to ATC so seamlessly. Throughout the video, there was ATC chatter and you were able to keep on explaining without batting an eyelid, but right at 7:35 it's almost as if you could predict this call was for you! How do you do it?
18 for 18. Two questions/comments: one, you don't monitor 121.5 on Com2? You discuss having ASOS and watching for the Rx. Second, I like loading the full approach, even expecting vectors, since occasionally in the middle of being vectored ATC decides to just send you to a fix on the approach and having it already loaded is a nice workload reducer.
If you recorded this on the ground with good sound quality, and no background chatter... it would not be the most annoying video till now. Keep up the good work and improve where possible. -thnx
This was a great video. It reminded me of the many things I "love" about IFR flying. In particular, practice approaches at busy airports. The constant chatter from ATC and other traffic is extremely distracting. Just doing the things necessary to prepare for an approach is difficult enough, without having to monitor the radio in case they call you! There isn't much that can be done about it, though. More sectors? More controllers?. Aviation is booming and the high cost of fuel hasn't affected it. Here in southern AZ, we are totally saturated with flight training schools. It's the price we pay for good weather I suppose. 18/18
Why assume vectors to final and then have to set up approach again if they take you to Lakeland? Much easier to enter Lakeland as the fix and then just activate the leg BEZDU to RELNE if you get vectors instead.
See if they have a calm wind runway in the AF/D (Chart Supplement). I ALWAYS file an alternate - regardless of weather. I also ensure the alternate is Authorized.
Loading vectors doesn’t add all the waypoints of the approach. I prefer to load the entire approach so I have all the waypoints. This way if given a direct to I don’t have to reload the approach.

18 for 18. Catch up day. Really appreciate the real world class room. Thank you!

One of the better videos yet! Loving it!
I’ve started my Instrument Rating a few weeks ago and I’m loving the videos regarding IFR🤩
18 for 18. Another great video. Thanks so much for this series!
Still on track. Coming from MI to Naples today had 4 route changes between GA and Naples. Always listening/always ready/always learning.
Thanks for your work Jason. The first thing I look at when briefing an approach is if the chart is current (right side margin of the plate), then up to the top as you do. 👍
18 for 18. I am starting my IFR this year (finally) and I appreciate these videos dedicated to IFR procedures.
18 for 18: however I am a day late on this one. I am loving these videos on IFR flying. Thanks for sharing your experience, Jason.
18/18. I'm right in the middle of IFR training so this video is perfect timing. Thank you!

18 for 18. Not quite to this point in my training, so there are some terms I'm not familiar with, but still loved watching and learning. Thanks!
Great video Jason love seeing you plugging everything into theAvidyne 18 for 18. Yay.
18/18 thank you for this info as a low hour pilot who hasn’t even soloed yet, I kinda glazed over this one
18 for 18. I always learned the "identify, verify, which way in, which way out, how far, how low" method for briefing.
18/18 I had a ground school session today and actually covered exactly what you covered today. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
18 for 18 - A bit overwhelming for this VFR pilot, but good information for certain. I am a fan of redundancy - always a great idea!
#18 is done; thanks!
Working starting my IFR training and will definitely be looking for your training to help. Thanks Jason. 18 for 18.
Love the videos.
18 for 18!!! Love your videos!

18/18. Loving these videos. Always taking something away and I love watching your instrument videos. 2023 is my year to become an instrument pilot.
18 for 18. I like this concept for all approaches Visual as well as Instrument. I plan to use this going forward.
18/18! I also try to brief/review as much as possible the day/night before. That way I feel much more prepared.
18/18 🎉. Not an IFR yet but getting informative ahead of time is better.
18-18. You guys ROCK
Destination............MASTERY!!!!!

18/18. Thanks for all the great videos. I like the iFR videos, currently working towards my instrument rating.

18/18 great instruction, looking forward to the next ones. :)
I'm 18/18 Tanks for always
18 for 18 loving this!!
18/18 thank you for all the help!!!
Can you please explain the radio call again interms of the GPS waypoints
18 for 18. This is so cool!!!
18/18 It’s nice to see your IFR process in flight-with ATC audio-and see how to handle the single pilot workload. Thank you MzeroA Team!!
18418, Excellent video.looking forward to getting my instrument rating
18 for 18 Thanks!!!!
18 for 18 The more you can get set up ahead of time makes executing the approach so much easier.
Why assume vectors to final and then have to set up approach again if they take you to Lakeland? Much easier to enter Lakeland as the fix and then just activate the leg BEZDU to RELNE if you get vectors instead.
Totally agree with you, activating vectors to final in real IMC could end up being a bad play and lead you to get behind the airplane
See if they have a calm wind runway in the AF/D (Chart Supplement). I ALWAYS file an alternate - regardless of weather. I also ensure the alternate is Authorized.
If you’re able, and you did, can you please show us a video of that 15 mile clearance you received the end?
18 and catching up.
18/18. As usual…great video.
18/18. Love the iFR content.
Good one again, 18 for 18.
18/18 love it
18/18!
18 for 18. All caught up!
18/18 this is a nice introduction for instrument
18x18 in the MzeroA 2023 Safer Pilot Seres. Stopped at middle of video ask questions. "Not available at night?" " Nobody there uh."
18 for 18, i would definitely be a happy instrument pilot with avidyne in the cockpit
18 for 18, thanks.
18/18 !!!!!
18 for 18 Great content
18/18 👍 very interesting. Thank you very much:)
