Perfection from start to finish. I think it's important to note that you waited in the FBO for about 6 hours before you launched. An absolute display of professionalism and many folks could learn from that. For those 98 people of "disliked" the video; These are people who will never be satisfied with their lives and doubtful they've flown anything more than a kite. Keep up the good work.
That's a lot to deduce from some dislikes.
FYI: There's a very good chance the dislikes are "bots" and not real viewers.
@@markblaze10 He's probably right. This is the best A to B hard IFR video in the aircraft type I fly. Many videos say IFR but seldom produce.
@@Texas1FlyBoy You mean there are people who have set up bots to randomly dislike videos? I had no idea. To what end?
Pp]ppppll
I’m a radar controller and your attention to detail and preparation before, during and after flight is amazing. You are educating without intimidating. One would be fortunate to have you for their flight instructor.
"Don't make my life more exciting" has to be one of the best ATC quotes ever
I have be flying IFR for 51 years and Multi-engine Cessnas (310 & 414A). I have never seen a better pilot than you. I am very impressed with your professionalism. If you are on the jet flying track I would fly behind you anytime! Bravo!
There's another guy with a 414 who posts videos...I'd NEVER fly with him. This guy has a professional attitude.
Daniel Hawley are you talking about the guy who messed up pattern direction and almost caused an accident?
@@danielhawley6817 Jerry Wagner northern California he flies IFR every week I read lot of comments about him not sure if that is just typical RUclips or is he really dangerous. He probably been flying longer then most of the guys posting have been alive.
@@Mike-01234 and despite that he's tragically incompetent. Turns out doing something for a long time doesn't necessarily make you any good at it.
@@Mike-01234 he's a cavalier mechanic doing maint check flights a lot, and keeps bare min proficiency. But this guy in the present video is either acting like a primary CFI with a student, or he is a nervous Nellie. But he does eventually cover the most salient issues. Best thing is he plans for contingencies well and its always good to calculating stuff like fuel to alt and monitoring weather. but not sure engine gauges need to be checked every few minutes as a big deal. Just make it a routine part of your secondary scan in cruise. Or maybe it's a rental and he knows something we don't know.
Most excellent demonstration of hand flying (sans auto pilot) a single pilot, single engine IFR in IMC flight to a successful landing in low conditions. Some really good pointers about weather savvy particularly the "personal minimums" and awareness of conditions at alternate airports near the destination airport. Lots of cross checking etc. Any newbie to IFR flying should watch this a few times. Very skillful and disciplined instrument flying demonstrated here.
IKR? I kept waiting for him to hit the HDG button but it was hand flying and on the needles the whole way. Sweet. Learn from this dude.
My personal minimums flying single pilot IFR is a working autopilot. This flight would be at the limit of task saturation for me.
@@PA30Crewchief keep in mind that while that is an appropriate takeoff minimum, it is a good idea to maintain hand flying proficiency. If you can't do it by hand, than that single autopilot becomes a critical system without redundancy
No offense to him, you, or anyone's personal choices, but I'd much prefer pilots use AP as a regular course. not necessarily 100% because you don't want your skills to atrophy, but the fact is the airways are safer with the majority of pilots being on AP.
One of your best videos yet. Good flying, good dialog, good editing, thanks Josh.
These are the videos I live for.
Great to see some good hand-flown IFR in IMC. So many videos are of jet and turbine guys turning knobs. Nice to see you having to keep up your scan, etc. Thanks for the detailed narration to tell us what you're thinking about. Can't wait to continue my instrument training.
I would assume turning knobs is safer than hand flying in IMC, though.
@@kevinklassen4328 It absolutely is. Still, as a pilot you should be able to hand fly an approach as well.
Manual flying, real IMC, analog instruments, single pilot, maintaining calm and proficient, while explaining to us what you are doing. Man, I want you as my instructor. If I reach 1/10 of your level, I'll be happy.
Josh you are way ahead of your years, your professionalism and the way you talk through the process is not only very educational but one that i have started to do myself as a student pilot, I am getting ready to do my check ride in two weeks and when i get done i will start on my instruments. Thank you for the videos and your genuine desire to keep all pilots safe and informed.
Don't usually write comments, since I watch your videos on my TV, but this video was great. Excellent explanation of your personal minimums strategy, great display of how you utilize ForeFlight as well as your other avionics.
As a student pilot, I think it would be really useful (When you do IFR flights like this) to maybe keep a small display of your ForeFlight screen in the bottom left corner of the video. That way we could follow along on the approach plates and see what you're looking at and how you're finding different information!
You can go to Settings - Command Center - Screen Recording to be able to access that function if you didn't already know how to do it. As always, AWESOME video man, I'm always looking at my feed for your updates!
It’s fun how the flights with little to see outside of the windshield make the most interesting videos.
The best IFR video I have ever seen. You are an inspiration Josh. I’m doing my instrument training and found this to be a great lesson on personal minimums and staying focused on the instruments
A master of his work! Awesome flight again.
I love the fact that you keep the dialog going including the routine scans. It is a great learning tool.
Great video! Watching videos like this is "almost" like doing it on my sim in the evening. With the "plus" of listening to ATC and weather. This a great tool for continued education. As a 100 hour per year pilot, watching an hour of these types of videos almost every day adds an immeasurable amount of extra mental practice. Keep it going. Thanks
I love how every pilot I've met talks with the same emphasis amd tone. Must be in the handbook
Holy crap, you were so calm the whole time and i'm biting my nails watching it on RUclips.
Because he knew he was on video. Wise up kid.
This is likely one of your most informative videos, you narrate what you are thinking and doing, it allows us non-IFR folks to understand more of what you are doing. Great video 👍
I love that you teach flying, as a survival skill. Good instruction is vital. I no longer fly, but can still hear what my instructor said to me. "Flying is about numbers... KNOW the numbers, HIT the numbers EVERY time, you can't fudge this. Get in your car and have a bad day, you get an insurance claim. Get in your aircraft and have a bad day, you get dead people."
Apparently you need 400 kts and 1,400 feet to do a loop in a Hawker Hunter. Guy in England didn't have near those, and crashed onto a crowded motorway, and killed people. Your videos are compelling, not from just the high production standards - the cross edits from the various cameras are great, but the information you give is clear and concise. Keep doing this. Aviation needs this.
In your context, substitute the words glide slope for glide path. Noone can adjust position on localizer with throttle. And the word throttle for power. We can't pull back the power, we can reduce the power. We can pull back the throttle but can't reduce the trottle. Young aviators are watching and learning.
Fantastic technical video. Love it. Great work Josh.
This is my favorite video of yours so far. Thank you and it's fun to see how much better you are then your early videos!
When you said I was willing to wait it out and grab a hotel if need be, that said tons about your decision making!!! Great job!!! Thank you!
Everything that David Garab stated. Perfection personified.
"I'm cleared for the ILS - NOT the visual - so I fly the ILS." Countless lives could be saved if more GA pilots would say this to themselves like you just did.
I'm assuming this only applies before the runway is in sight? Or is there a reason it's dangerous even afterwards?
@@kevinklassen4328 You are correct...ish. When the runway is in sight, you can call tower and tell them and they will usually give you the visual at that point. However, it's still good practice to keep flying that ILS for a while longer because while you might have the runway in sight, there could be other obstacles obscured by the clouds.
My favorite line.
Brian Decker....countless lives could be saved if GA pilots with no or little IMC experience would stay home.
@@easttexan2933 I'm assuming you mean GA pilots that aren't rated for IMC. Only way to get experience is to get experience.
I remember your first IFR landing with an instructor on board. You've come a long way and your confidence shows. Well done!
I too remember that. That was first time I ever watched Josh in an Aviation 101 video and this scenario was exactly the same except two things. No flight instructor coaching and Josh had control of the approach light brightness!
Student pilot here. I never comment on videos. This is the single best IFR video I have ever seen. Thank you. The lessons of this video will stick with me forever.
Airline pilot and flight instructor here. Nice callouts, checklist usage, and aeronautical/atmospheric knowledge! Followed you for a while, and I continue to be impressed with the quality GA flying. Great video production quality too.
“But don’t make my life more exciting” haha, that’s gotta be a tough job. Always praying something doesn’t happen on your time (or any time)
So, unlike all of the other people on here who are subscribed to him I do watch vlogs, gaming videos, etc.
But one thing I have definitely noticed on this channel is the editing.
The editing is top notch along with the cameras you use.
I’ve also learned some tips on how to fly on flight simulators from you and I understand more information.
There is a kid a grade below me who shares a similarity with me, and he loves airplanes so I hooked him up to your channel.
All I wanted to say here is keep up your amazing work. The editing, professionalism, and work ethic in your flying is beyond amazing.
I will always stay a subscriber to you no matter what.
man i love how you telll your self to not look out and focus on the ils approach. i love that!!!!
Love those vids in which you explain every little detail. Thanks!
Awesome. I saw this on Patreon but it's a great video that's worth watching again because it's continued proof that GA, when done right, is a great mode of travel
These are my favorite videos to warch the unedited showing a whole flight
Great video as always. I'm an aviation enthusiast (and hopefully soon to be pilot) and your videos are always a big help in expanding my aviation knowledge. Thanks for putting in so much effort to create high quality videos for us!
Keep on flying Josh!

Hey Josh, I've really missed videos like this one and the previous! I really enjoy learning from them :) I've just re watched the previous, and your dad is awesome! Enjoy your day! Cheers
Excellent narrative...perfect response/planning. 6 hours well spent. Thanks!
One of your best videos! Loved the full checklists before departure and on decent and landing. You walked us nonpilots through it wonderfully.
you make the best general aviation videos out there. very authentic, nothing staged, good camera angles, great narration, great entertainment and i learn so much from every video i watch. thanks so much! keep up the great work!
I have been a commercial airline pilot my entire career, and spent a lot of time in the 172 series of aircraft. It is amazing to me that the airplane has such marvelous capabilities for both IFR and VFR flight. Your flight reminded me of a 172 trip I took from State College PA to Chicago. The weather was similar to your Addison/ San Marcos flight. 3+ hours of solid IFR and Moderate to heavy rain the whole way to my VFR gas stop. After fueling up the FBO lady said there was something dribbling out the bottom of my plane. I initially thought my gas tank had sprung a leak, but after smelling it I determined it was just water. I was probably carrying several gallons of rain water in the tail cone from my 3+ hours of IFR moderate rain leg previously. I always check the drain holes near the bulkheads now before I fly IFR! Even after they were cleared it still took 20 minutes to fully drain the plane of water.
My complements to Josh on a well run IFR flight and very professionally done. I would say that he has extensive IFR experience and probably a CFII judging from his teaching ability and explanations of what he was doing. Good luck on your career Josh.
As an instrument student, thank you for this awesome commentary. I learned a lot about not only flying but professionalism.
You'd be good not to copy him too much.
Nice job. Videos are such a great way to learn. Obviously, eye to hand coordination is paramount, but soo much to learn by observation. Your constant verbalization of thought process was great. What a great training session. :-)
The music and cool feeling that you play after the landing is so sweet.
AWESOME IMC flight! Thank you for sharing your TOP notch IFR skills!!
Wow, that made my heart beat a little faster. You were smooth, methodical and adhered to proper procedure. You showed how proficient you really are. Superb flying Josh !
Good focus on the ILS and staying aware, talking yourself through. Great flight and those IMC skills are essential for all of us... Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you for posting one of the few vids showing ILS in rainy weather!
Absolute professional... Excellent example of exactly how to fly IFR in bad weather and how to shoot an ILS approach to low minimums... Preparation, TOTAL situational awareness, always having an 'out' or backup plan and NOT succumbing to get there-itis.. I just love your total focus... You keep checking that engine and suction all you want... In a single engine plane in IMC condition, by yourself, I do NOT blame you one bit. I'd be checking every nut and bolt if I could.... I did enjoy the 'armstrong' defroster....
Very,very good video. A teaching video. We all learned a great deal. Keep Up the great work.
Amazing video; I love how you walk us through everything your thinking about and doing. Really helps me as an aspiring private pilot.
Great Video Josh!! love flying solid IMC! great work sir
One hell of an IFR lesson, Josh! Thank you!
Nice job Josh. Excellent example of real world single pilot single engine IFR. Nicely done
Deff one of your best for instructional purposes. Thanks!
Super IFR flight! Thanks Josh
Thanks for sharing. Always love watching your videos with your detail
Wow! Outstanding skills, very impressive!
Nice smooth approach. Great review of setting and adhering to personal minimums - too often we want to push.
Absolutely fascinating. Fantastic job!
A master class in IFR safe flying.
Awesome job maintaining heading, altitude and situational awareness while setting up and briefing the approach. Bet at times you would like to have an autopilot to assist when doing these chores. Great job from start to finish!
Yes I'm from Germany and love it too, I knew very well Austin,Tx. I used to live in a Saburb of Austin in " Ceder Park, Tx. About 20 minutes to drive Austin Town Town, thanks 👍😊 appreciate for Go Pro .......
Man I just gotta say your awesome and I love what your doing for this channel, I’m an afjrotc cadet and this is teaching me so much out of the class room, I love how you edit you make everything clear and I’m learning off of you with the tower talking and you, I just want to thank you for what your doing and I hope you keep doing it., your amazing 😄👨🏻✈️fly on 🤙
Really enjoyed this vid Josh.
Nice video,thanks for posting!!!
Your best video yet! Thank you!
Great video. I am an instrument pilot building time so these are great watches for me. I would not want to fly single pilot IMC without an autopilot. I know it is relatively safe in capable hands but on the regular, I want that AP. But that is just me. Great flying
DocsOnAPlane hey there, I’m a student pilot that flew for the first time in real IMC yesterday. I could see why! There is so much to do when your strictly IFR/IMC! Auto pilot would be nice but my CFI handled the radios lol
Good idea, as a 22,000+ hour ATP, I take it a little further, No IFR and/or night in a single engine plane, (ever lost an engine when you can't see the ground? I have, twice) no IFR in any airplane without an autopilot or a co-driver.
@@SteveD328 I can see why you would say that, certainly makes it safer. That said, anytime you get in an airplane you are taking at least some risk, multi or single. From there you are mitigating risk at every decision, Night, IFR, mountains, airspace etc. I am not telling you anything new at your experience level. Each pilot has to decide which level of risk is worth it.
Good video. Agree. No IFR, without autopilot. Also when hand flying the ILS, the needles have to be perfectly centered all the way. The degree change correction is not the best method. A more precise one is to count time lapse during bank correction.
Completely agree with you there!! I was just about to say that myself. Single pilot IFR (in HARD IMC) in a GA aircraft is extremely difficult and risky! If the "you know what" hits the fan, then a good autopilot (at least 2-axis) can be a lifesaver!! Personally, I would not fly (single pilot) in hard IMC, without an autopilot, either. That said, this pilot in the video is very professional and skilled, and did a very good job managing everything!
Great flight. Thanks for sharing!
That was the best video you have done in a very long time. I learned a lot. Thank you so much Josh.
Sounds like JAFO in "Blue Thunder" - good video mate, I liked it.
Great video, I’ve missed these full instructional videos. And even better it was an imc Flight. Noticing your hat, you should come up to the northwest meet up with some flying cowboys in Utah and on to Oregon and help me finish up my IR training. You’ll get Mooney time:)
That was fun. Thanks for taking us along with you!
Great one, Josh, many thanks!
Outstanding ILS APPROACH. All the way professional
Wonderful ! More like these please :)
Excellent ride and procedures and video. WOO!
I've been watching your vids for awhile and now that I'm about to finish my ifr rating this one hit home. Really enjoyed watching a master at work in actual. It's videos like yours and others that's helped keep me motivated. Thank you!
Nice job. I’m amazed at how much you are “off instruments “ , looking at iPad, head down to write something down etc. So calm and cool. I try not to look down etc. as I begin to get slightly disoriented and have to get back on instruments quickly.
Dude I've been watching you for a longggg time and this is easily one of your best uploads. Pretty amazing to see how much you've grown over time. Keep it up!
Really great video Josh. Great decision making, and professional aviating.
Nice job on the navigation and flying the socked in IMC. Great content!! You've got excellent aviation skills!!
When you said ETE...my wife said- What’s ETE?...You answered her and she said thank you Josh....We laughed so much.....
I used eta all the time only to have to explain it Everytime.
I'm glad he did that too. I always forget what the last "E" stands for.
It was great to hear you explain this flight. I know it’s not a “training” video. But, it really was great to follow along. Thank you.
Great job, perfectly executed! Textbook performance and comments. Thank you and look forward for more.
As always, good flying!
Hundreds of Pilots are freaking out and dying100 seconds after entering IMC, and this guy flies through it like he's driving to the corner store...
Because it's just like that.
But...you've got to keep your head inside. Not look out. And have the mental discipline to believe what you are seeing and not what you are feeling.
@@kevinjarchow8812 Funny, I have not flown on instruments for over 35 years. I flew a 1946 7AC from North Carolina to Nevada this year. Very little reason to look inside the cockpit other than to check oil pressure and Temps.
Ken James Jr Trust the Instruments. They have no clue what conditions you’re in...
Jim Morris l
Just confirms the type of instructor you are. When flying follow the procedure,and you're ability to the letter and survive.
Love the way you talk us through it - I learned a lot!
Loved the flight and the play by play dialog. Great job.
That was a good procedural video. The best bit is you waited until conditions were right ahead.
If you weren't so gabby this would be more enjoyable. Less is definitely more.
25:30 - someone says, "Go Josh" on radio.....lol
Did you notice I hesitated when I heard that? It sounded like "Josh" haha
He said "oh gosh" i think
Aviation101 whatever happened to Jason at premiereaviation hd?
Yes, I saw you look over at the radio stack like, "What?" lol
@@DocsOnAPlane Search for "the World of Stew". He changed the name.
Amazing work well done Captain!
outstanding job. One of your top videos. thanks...
eating soup watching this lol nice flying EPIC night shots
Jonn I want soup now thanks
it hurts to see someone else living your dreams ):
Then do something about it.
This was the best IFR video you have posted for someone like me who is in IFR training. Thank you and please continue posting as I find them very valuable and helpful. Thanks
I really appreciate the fact you are dedicated to improving your IFR skills. I appreciate being able to ride along - your pilot to tower communications are so well executed - instructive, actually. Thank you for the great camera work and subsequent video editing that makes us feel a part of the flight.
3:20 ATC running out of breath lol
Lessons learned: do not give in to "get-there-itis" and know your minimums.
Did you account for all the weight of your GoPros when doing weight-and-balance check ;? I counted at least 10, stuck in every corner of the cabin. How many GoPros does one need to make a good RUclips flight-video? I missed one fixed on your wingtip, pointed at the cabin. That would be a great view. Guess it would be a difficult place to attach one and spoil the aero a bit.
Six Pack Pilot I love that shot, but I didn’t bring the mount with me on this trip
That's something I always loved about IFR flying, that you can take off and be up in the soup immediately, but you just follow your courses and keep the needles centered all the way to the destination, and you bust out of the clouds with a runway right in front of you, slick as could be. The air navigation system is so simple yet works so well.
Nice, excellent work, Josh!
