My first IFR cross country is on Tuesday, this is perfect! you're the man Jason, thank you for being such a great reference/help in the aviation community
Foreflight has been a godsend especially for filing and briefing but one thing I always do when planning an IFR flight is I want to know where the nearest VFR wx just in case. Great podcast, definitely learned something today about the radar!
Hey Jason! I had my first solo x country today and just wanted to say that your vids have definitely helped out along the way. I love the passion you teach with! Keep up the great work!
Hello Jason, I am currently trying to pursue my goal of completing my instrument rating. I gotta say thanks for all this content on RUclips, it's been guiding me through all this. There's so much to learn!
Great stuff...flying IFR this evening and night (return) for business. No matter how many times I do it I'm still not as comfortable at night...until I'm in the air. Then don't have time to be uncomfortable...just stay ahead of the plane and always have a plan.
I'm a 250 hour instrument rated pilot (commercial checkride next Wednesday) and I love flying IFR at night. Traffic is easier to see, there is less traffic, ATC isn't as busy so they have more time and patience with little Archers, and the air is usually smoother. Having said that, I did most of my night IFR stuff for time building over the deserts of Utah, Nevada, and Idaho in the middle of the summer. Density altitude and thermal pockets were the most significant weather issues most of the time. Have a safe (and fun) trip!!
A lot of people don’t file, because at busier airports it is much easier (quicker) to “get on your way” VFR. I’m not saying that is necessarily the smart (or safe) thing to do, especially when weather is “marginal”.
Jason, awesome content as always. For anyone who wants a great demonstration of how bad even 8 or 9 miles of visibility is, I would refer them to Part 2 of the video of your flight to Airventure. The smoke and haze was horrible, but you still had what some people would think would be good visibility. At least until you see that kind of haze for yourself it sounds good, but in reality you can be almost on top of an airport before you see it. In terms of traffic separation even 10 miles is only 2 1/2 minutes for two planes going opposite directions at 120 knots. In that kind of haze you'll never see each other at 10 miles either. I do have an issue with the term personal minimums, because some are maximums (wind, crosswind, etc), I prefer the term personal limits or limitations, but that's just semantics. As long as everyone has a set of hard, fast rules and lives by them they will live through their flight.
I set time aside to listen to your podcasts here on RUclips. I focus and take notes. I find it harder to retain information if there are distractions or other things requiring my time and focus. Cuz, if you're setting the time aside to say it I will set the time aside to listen. Another great production from the MzeroA team.
My Musketeer has huge fuel tanks so my VFR flight planning is also dictated by biology rather than technology. Even if it’s only to get some fresh air and stretch my legs. Did I miss my copy of Aviation Mastery?

Good luck and have fun, Daniel! Thanks for watching!
Listening on the treadmill. Thanks for teaching me while making the running time go by faster🏃
So glad you put this out today. Watching it while I plan my 1st IFR flight for today. :) Thanks MZeroA Nation and Jason for all of your help.
It's our pleasure, thank you so much for watching. I hope you have an amazing flight.

You are welcome my friend, thank you so much for watching.
Perfect timing!! I’m taking my IFR XC tomorrow. Thank you so much for your amazing content! I’m mostly driving or at work listening to the podcast :)
Have fun, April!

I've often wondered why someone would not file (or consider) an alternate because it's not required. Great points and info. Thank you
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching my friend.

Hope you had a good lesson, Susie! Thanks for watching!
Hey Jason! I sent the free trial application and haven't recieved any code or any emails on that. Do you know what might me happening?

First!!!
I used to listen to these podcast on my hour drive to airport now I listen at work and my commute as well
Didn’t know it was a race. Are there prizes? Or are you just lonely? Here’s a virtual hug to make you feel better.
