Awesome video as always! I was really making you work but I can SEE your progress right here in the video. Very cool, thanks for doing such an awesome job with the editing.
Yes, it was fun to debrief this one while editing, and actually be about to see the quantifiable improvement in just one flight! It is rewarding to be able to share this stuff - Great training with you buddy!
Jason, have a question for you. I think I know the answer, it's a multi-part answer, but I want to ask it anyway. During the Oscar pattern, at level off, you were changing the mixture. A thousand foot increment shouldn't make an appreciable difference in the mixture. Why do it? Now, I can see if you're IMC and center is giving you vectors to final, or they ask you to hold and descend at the same time, say more than 3,000' at a shot, yeah, you want to get mixture enriched for lower altitude. Same thing in a climb, if you're getting vectors. I also see that as a saturation task. Had a hypnotherapist who as part of her induction, she talked about the human mind can process up to seven tasks at once, in a rotating order. Some people can do seven, others start dropping tasks at 5 or 6. So, I can see the flow as up to 'seven tasks' you have to juggle. But, what happens when you get that eighth task? You're going to drop something, if not everything as you alluded to. How do you determine what to drop? I am not current, haven't been for years, and if I let reality sneak in, I probably will never fly as PIC again, but obviously, I'd like to. These videos with Steve, and your own channel, or just great.
Excellent Vi duo guys!!!! my congrats to you both!!! you have an A+ Student and A+ Instructor like the way you explain and teach how to make procedures and task friendly crystal clear!!!! I appreciate the vid its is definitely classroom material
Chops, I flew a 2 hour version of this yesterday in my IFR training. Then, I went home and took a nap. I was exhausted. Then I made the mistake of watching this video and sending the link to my friend and CFII who beat me up. His first quote saying that it is intended to max you out was very pertinent to my day. He then sends me a text back "I like this guy Jason and the mistake you made is sending me this link, so next week we shall do this type of pattern!" I blame you for my misery. BTW, my CFII is on my arse if I am off 50 feet from my target altitude where Jason is being nice to you at sometimes I saw 100 or more. Tell him his is getting lax.
The Finer Points Jason, I can not tell you how much I appreciate you (and Steve) being willing to share your training. I am very aware that many guys out there would be apprehensive to do so for fear of internet scrutiny, etc. and I just want to say how much all of us 'choppers' value and respect your willingness to 'be on stage'. Much love my good man, much love!
I could start feeling the tension and stress and I am sitting in a comfy chair just watching in the office. If you dont use and train a muscle, it fades away and becomes weak. Tks for another awesome video gents.
The editing, the IFR training and the content, AWESOME!!!! I have yet to get my IFR ticket. This is what flying is all about. Getting your IFR makes you a safer VFR pilot. Well done Steve.
I tried the Oscar pattern today with one of my instrument students that has been having trouble staying ahead of the airplane and I can attest that this really works to exercise your multi tasking muscles. After 30 minutes doing a few of these routines, the results are amazing. Bravo Jason and thank you FlightChops for sharing this awesome training technique.
Currently getting deep into my IFR. Passed my written and working flight and Sim training. This video was AWESOME! I took it to my Sim session yesterday and showed it to my instructor. She loved it. Guess what? We are BOTH gonna work the Oscar Pattern next flight! Jason’s demonat the end was the bomb and something I will strive to obtain as I progress. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing avgeekery training videos like this. Like the other stuff too. But this IS THE BOMB!!!!
Man, Jason seems like one awesome instructor. Would love to have a guy like this teach me. Love the video as usual, Chops. Currently studying for my CFII, so this is some serious motivation.
Great, great material here. Even for a VFR pilot like me there are plenty of take-aways: standardisation for all single pilot ops; building good checklist habit/instincts; positive call-out of gauges, conscious decisions to omit checks rather than letting passive degradation setting in. Thanks to you both +flightchops +thefinerpoints on this one !!!
My hat is totally off in honor of the training method used in this video. The exercise as viewed on the white board followed by the practical application is the best training I have ever witnessed. Thank you both for showing me how much I have to learn in being a better more professional pilot.
Great to see you back at it, just received my IFR ticket last November 2017 and my CFII pushed me so far several times I barely could “taxi” back to thr ramp!! TASK overloaded me on almost every flight. Several times I questioned if I could get through it, then after about 30 hours it started to “click”. Sure made my checkride easy in comparison, so he accomplished his job as a CFII.
Thanks for the encouragement - I am still in the “I’m not sure I can do this” phase... mostly because I can’t get a handle on the written test prep - it feels like a huge monkey on my back that I just can’t shake :(
I knocked the written early on, would have scored higher (75) had I taken it later on as a lot you learn by “doing” at least for me as its hard to teach an old dog new tricks! Worst trick my CFII did to me was during Unusual Attitudes, when my head was down and eyes closed, he spun the trim wheel AND blacked out my PFD, so when he says; “Your Airplane” I was fighting the back pressure due to the grime wheel AND it took a second to switch to the back-up gauges, seemed like minutes though as I got a lump in my throat knowing he was counting on me to get it right! You’ll do great, got my PPL December 2016 and my IFR November 2017 at 60+ years old that’s a lot for this old brain to process! I;ll be watching and cheering you on.....
Nice multi-tasking training scenario. I recently took a CFII up with me and we shot 5 approaches (with foggles) in rapid succession to airports relatively closely spaced. I wished I had my cameras at that point so I could have de-briefed myself better. I got through it okay and it was a little unrealistic for the real world of IMC but it for sure made my multi-tasking better. As your friend referenced, gotta hit the gym from time to time to stay fit. Well done.
Fascinating. I fly only sims at the moment and it's nice to see that my challenges keeping altitude when simply turning are not an anomaly, but simply a matter of needing to focus on practice. Thanks for sharing your growth and flight training. It's very inspiring.
Such great content! Even though I'm still on PPL, this is a very helpful and encouraging video to watch. I'm not using it as training per say but it definitely has some tools in it to help progress my own skills! Thank you Steve!
Now this just brings back all my memories of the first circuits I ever flew, I had a practice two with my usual instructor at the end of a lesson, then my next lesson he was away and I had another one (both brilliant people). Seeing the struggle with trying to get the turns at the right point and getting altitude with checks as well, that just brings back all of the memories haha, really interesting to see this having only begun my journey in VFR, good on you though, love all the videos!
Nice job Steve. I could almost see the smoke coming out of your ears but there was a huge improvement by the end. Can't wait to see the rest of your journey. The timing is perfect for me because I finally decided to try to finish my instrument rating. Your video is good inspiration to keep me motivated.
Love jasons stuff, i remember loving his podcasts back when i was doing my private. Looks like he ran out of hands to run the “do” part of his approach briefing....one hand to fly and one to hold and read the plate....none left to tune the radios and cdi...haha
Great IFR exercise for the simulator as well. Remembering to make the level 90-degree turns was a challenge. I also noticed that a brisk wind forces you to change your rudder pressure to maintain coordination during the turns, which then changes the vertical speed, which then forces you to change pressure on the yoke to maintain the vertical speed. Great exercise that teaches a good scan. Highly addicting, too!
Do-Verify is a wonderful thing. A lot of private pilots focus so hard on Read-Do (read the item and do it as you read it) on a checklist that they end up wasting a lot of time and mental energy on a simple checklist. Memorizing a flow and backing it up with a written checklist (Do the item, then Verify) is very much worth it for time savings and reduced mental workload. Every procedure from startup to shutdown becomes a non-issue. There's a reason airlines do it this way.
I’m just about to do my first solo flight and still working on my landings (especially the flare) so I’m really just learning the very basics. This video again makes me so excited for the training that’s still ahead of me! I’m eager to learn all this stuff and can’t wait to get back in the airplane now. :D Thanks Steve for making these videos!
Watching during lunch at work, I'll finish up when I get home. Glad to see you're back in the left seat working on your instrument rating. You totally have this nailed, Steve, you'll do just fine when you take your check ride!!
This is mad! ;-) I can see myself yelling at the instructor: STAND BY!" Hoping to start my IFR this year, after almost 30 yrs of flying. Can't wait to see my complacency showing up... Great instructor by the way.
I am not a pilot, but I always enjoy these types of videos that are more on the technical, non-flashy side. Makes me learn a lot! I feel like you don't hear that feedback often so want to throw it out there!
Totally impressed by the instructor skills. What a great video! You did a great job on working that muscle and as the work load increases so does the muscle. Stay out in front of the plane!
Another way to think of it - multi-tasking becomes like breathing. It becomes a natural extension of your body with respects to flight management. Each instrument becomes an extremity that you sense when its right or wrong.
*THAT WAS AWESOME, BEST WE'VE SEEN IN MULTITASKING!* *iN FACT, THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO WE'VE SEEN THAT A DISCIPLINED PILOT THINKS ABOUT, WHICH IS NEVER DISCUSSED!* *GREAT FOR ALL SINGLE PILOTS TO REMEMBER AND WORTH OF DOWNLOADING SO YOU'LL EVEN SEE IT IN YOUR DREAMS, NEVER FORGETTING IT! ;-)*
I would love to fly with this instructor some time. he has a way of communicating so clearly. You are doing such an awesome job of editing these videos too.The info is there but not overly saturated. Love the videos as always Steve! Ill pay for lunch if your ever in the Portland Oregon area!
Great video! I'm having flashbacks. I never did the Oscar exercise, but did a lot of approaches & holds in the soup and at night. Bumps really test the old scan & responses.
I'm so glad I'd never heard of the Oscar pattern when I was training. Yeesh. Also super glad that the Instrument rating no longer "expires" in Canada and rewriting the INRAT isn't necessary anymore. Probably 2 Sim sessions away from finishing my Instrument Proficiency check (What they do now instead of the renewal flight test)
1 thing i used to overlook before instrument rating. Was Aviate Navigate Communicate. Sooooo much going on sometimes remember the priorities when overwhelmed. Especially when taking the checkride trying to brief the examiner can be daunting but is last in priorities. The checkride is rapid fire tasks and approaches good luck!
Awesome video! Can really relate to your IFR training, as I’ve been at it on and off for 2 years. Never heard of the Oscar Pattern. That’s a really cool exercise I need to tell my instructor about. Thanks!!
My manager at work used to tell me that Multitasking is a lie, we switch tasks, but the idea is to be able to switch tasks smoothly and consistently in a way that gives the impression that we are Multitasking! Our attention can go in one direction at a time, but making it change focus with no mental gaps or saturation glitches makes it real Multitasking.
Not a pilot, but I was surprised that after watching a bunch of your content, I was actually able to catch the fact that 260 wasn't right. Thanks for the content. I enjoy the heck out of your channel. Thumbs up.
Wow, great exercise...Oscar pattern. Also, remember that multi-tasking is a myth, your brain can only move sequentially from task to task to engage in multiple tasks simultaneously, but your brain can’t actually think multiple tasks simultaneously, so keep the scan moving from task to task, which is what juggling is essentially.
Fantastic. I donno if my brain works fast enough to fly IFR now! The beat for the instrument check is helpful. My altitude control isn't what it should be so now I know how to fix it.
Awesome man! I’m working on my Ifr also and this is just awesome to watch! When you do a Ifr crosscountry flight, fly down to kdlz and I’ll buy lunch and a modelo beer again if you bring a safety pilot haha
I would need LOTS of training in that area. When I comes to multitasking, I'm borderline brain-dead, hahaha! Just looking at a ringing phone's caller ID mid-conversation makes me stop talking. I'd be a terrible pilot, lol.😁 Still enjoy watching you fly, though! Thanks for taking us along! 👍
Congrats Robert! I am so frustrated with the written test prep. I just can’t maintain the momentum to stay on top of it... I feel like I keep having to relearn what I had figured out from the last time I was able to focus on studying for a week or two... then I get busy and a couple months go by... and the cycle repeats
FlightChops Totally hear you. I buckled down and did some hardcore study/practice tests over the holiday break... and was able to keep the momentum going through January. Not an easy endeavor! Now I can just focus on the practical aspect of it, and hope I don't suck as much as I think I do. Been practicing a bit in XPlane with PilotEdge without having had any real world lessons yet... I have a feeling I'm going to get schooled pretty thoroughly once I take a CFII up with me.
You should have the the pattern available when flying, like an instrument approach chart. Know the pitch and power settings for maneuvers. For 90 KTAS, each degree of pitch change equals 150 FPM. 500 FPM climb equals 3 and 1/4 degrees pitch change and power 500 rpm increase. Standard Rate Turn 13 degrees. Knowing how to precisely change your pitch and power will cut your workload down. Also, don't do anything in turns, too much opportunity to drop
This is an excellent video! Jason is a top instructor, I love how he slowly builds you up to saturation. I'd love to try these types of exercises. I'm curious about your sensations - did you feel you were approaching saturation? (I generally don't notice until I'm really overloaded)
Awesome video as always! I was really making you work but I can SEE your progress right here in the video. Very cool, thanks for doing such an awesome job with the editing.
Yes, it was fun to debrief this one while editing, and actually be about to see the quantifiable improvement in just one flight! It is rewarding to be able to share this stuff - Great training with you buddy!

Wow... as a non-IFR guy, there is so much to learn here. I'd love to spend, like, a YEAR with Jason... sharpening those flight chops!

I'm 15 with dreams of becoming a Pilot for Air Canada. Thank you for these videos, Some of the highest quality Av vids on youtube. Thanks again steve.

Thanks Cal! It's nice to get the credit for a job I love and a skill I really work at.
I highly recommend that you subscribe to his podcasts.
"What's your name?"
"Stand by."
Lol, that's a serious saturation level. :D
Love the old school training video's!
Great, great material here.

Multitasking is a muscle! So true. Awesome Video, your instructor is perfect!
Jason's demonstration of briefing the approach while flying partial panel was impressive.

I remember this training for my IFR. It was hard, confusing for me at first & I never thought I'd get it. Now it's part of my routine.
Amazing, what a reality check. I love to see the relationship you guys have. Every time I watch a video I just can't wait to get back up there. Cheers
Finally, been waiting for your IFR training! You've gotta get that rating, we all believe in you
I had an elevated breathing rate just watching that, and thinking about having to do that. INTENSE Steve. Well done!
Great video for those working on their IFR, Jason seems like a great teacher. I hope I have the opportunity to work with him someday.
Videos with Jason are THE best.
Such great content! Even though I'm still on PPL, this is a very helpful and encouraging video to watch. I'm not using it as training per say but it definitely has some tools in it to help progress my own skills! Thank you Steve!

Cool yes - Agreed. Jason does a great job teaching the practical application of Flow Checks and Check Lists.
Yes!!!!! So many instructors misunderstand and mis-teach checklists.
I can't imagine how challenging that is, but it looks like it's so much fun!
Found this gem today... great instrument refresher... gonna add this one to my instrument flying tool kit.
Jason is a great instructor! I'm 1/3 of the way through instrument training, and it certainly is challenging. Keep up the good work Flight Chops!
Thanks for sharing... Jason, you're awesome... could tell right away you're a terrific teacher,flight instructor
I’m just about to do my first solo flight and still working on my landings (especially the flare) so I’m really just learning the very basics.
This video again makes me so excited for the training that’s still ahead of me! I’m eager to learn all this stuff and can’t wait to get back in the airplane now. :D

Flight chops you are very humble but you are a bad ass pilot and always getting better yer the man
I am not a pilot, but I always enjoy these types of videos that are more on the technical, non-flashy side. Makes me learn a lot! I feel like you don't hear that feedback often so want to throw it out there!
This is one of the most useful videos I've ever seen for instrument proficiency.
Totally impressed by the instructor skills. What a great video! You did a great job on working that muscle and as the work load increases so does the muscle. Stay out in front of the plane!
Thank you for sharing this experience with us! I am very inspired to do this training soon with my FI.
I fly out of SQL and hear you Bay Flight guys on the radios all the time! I might have to give you guys a visit
very good I learnt a lot by watching Jason's method and your suffering....thank you.
Another way to think of it - multi-tasking becomes like breathing. It becomes a natural extension of your body with respects to flight management. Each instrument becomes an extremity that you sense when its right or wrong.
Awesome video. Greg has really been stepping up and collaborating with all you guys and its awesome. Keep it up!!
*THAT WAS AWESOME, BEST WE'VE SEEN IN MULTITASKING!* *iN FACT, THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO WE'VE SEEN THAT A DISCIPLINED PILOT THINKS ABOUT, WHICH IS NEVER DISCUSSED!* *GREAT FOR ALL SINGLE PILOTS TO REMEMBER AND WORTH OF DOWNLOADING SO YOU'LL EVEN SEE IT IN YOUR DREAMS, NEVER FORGETTING IT! ;-)*
Great video and great instruction. Love the idea of going to the gym, and pushing for the saturation point. Wow!
I would love to fly with this instructor some time. he has a way of communicating so clearly. You are doing such an awesome job of editing these videos too.The info is there but not overly saturated. Love the videos as always Steve! Ill pay for lunch if your ever in the Portland Oregon area!
Great video! I'm having flashbacks. I never did the Oscar exercise, but did a lot of approaches & holds in the soup and at night. Bumps really test the old scan & responses.
What a fantastic IFR exercise! Need to get up in the air and give that a try.
Good instructor. Getting your IFR rating is the best insurance policy ever. It will make you a much better pilot.
Incredible video Chops. Almost had me sweating, that looks exhausting but what an awesome skill.
Awesome practice pattern! Great Video, great pilots, great concepts that inspire! 🙏 thanks!
I'm so glad I'd never heard of the Oscar pattern when I was training. Yeesh. Also super glad that the Instrument rating no longer "expires" in Canada and rewriting the INRAT isn't necessary anymore. Probably 2 Sim sessions away from finishing my Instrument Proficiency check (What they do now instead of the renewal flight test)
WoW!...Just WoW! Love it. I'm starting to work toward my CFI and Jason is the CFI I am most wanting to emulate.
Thank you Chad
1 thing i used to overlook before instrument rating. Was Aviate Navigate Communicate. Sooooo much going on sometimes remember the priorities when overwhelmed. Especially when taking the checkride trying to brief the examiner can be daunting but is last in priorities. The checkride is rapid fire tasks and approaches good luck!
Working on my IFR, ground school at the moment, but this... wow, thinking I would have been saturated early into this. Great job and great video!
thank you very much for this explanatory video about IFR flight limits.
Awesome video! Can really relate to your IFR training, as I’ve been at it on and off for 2 years. Never heard of the Oscar Pattern. That’s a really cool exercise I need to tell my instructor about. Thanks!!
Very useful video to watch for every pilot I think! I want to get my IFR someday and this is a great inspiration.
Keep up the good work!
Awesome video. I love that even though your flying and learning is WAY ahead of mine I can still relate to stress and success of each new skill.
"IFR gym". That's great! #gymlife I could listen to your instructor all day! Awesome video!
Need more of these good old training vids!
You are such a humble man and i love that about you i admire you for not being an egotistical narcissist
My manager at work used to tell me that Multitasking is a lie, we switch tasks, but the idea is to be able to switch tasks smoothly and consistently in a way that gives the impression that we are Multitasking! Our attention can go in one direction at a time, but making it change focus with no mental gaps or saturation glitches makes it real Multitasking.
Excellent video. Training videos like that is are not easy to find.
I've never heard of an Oscar pattern before, but as an instructor I love this maneuver. I'll have to try flying one of these myself.
Not a pilot, but I was surprised that after watching a bunch of your content, I was actually able to catch the fact that 260 wasn't right.
Thanks for the content. I enjoy the heck out of your channel. Thumbs up.
Just watching IFR training stresses me out, hell of a job man!!
During my instrument training never did this training exercise...I Like It. Start Safe, Stay Safe
Wow, great exercise...Oscar pattern. Also, remember that multi-tasking is a myth, your brain can only move sequentially from task to task to engage in multiple tasks simultaneously, but your brain can’t actually think multiple tasks simultaneously, so keep the scan moving from task to task, which is what juggling is essentially.
Jason is a Jedi. No other explanation.
Fantastic. I donno if my brain works fast enough to fly IFR now! The beat for the instrument check is helpful. My altitude control isn't what it should be so now I know how to fix it.
Awesome man! I’m working on my Ifr also and this is just awesome to watch! When you do a Ifr crosscountry flight, fly down to kdlz and I’ll buy lunch and a modelo beer again if you bring a safety pilot haha
I didnt catch the Error but i was eating and watching so i think that my saturation point was reached!
Awesome video. I'm going to use this in VFR practice as well! Thanks!
Just finishing instrument now good luck man!
Man this is really inspiringly! I can't wait to start flight training
Hoping to start this soon.
As a student pilot working on my PPL this made me a little nervous. Haha. Great video, as usual. Keep up the awesome and informative work!
Great Viedo really help me understand importance of flow check. Thanks.
More please, so awesome
What a great tool. I am going to use it to keep my skills strong between IMC days!
This task saturation is similar to how I felt first learning to drive a car. Now that's second nature, and I'm learning to fly.
Your gonna fly a spitfire? I havent flown one but i have started the engine in one and I loved every second hope you have fun
Man oh man, where have you been all my pilot life. This is awesome !!! Keep it going. P.S. I'll probably be responsible for at least 100+ views.
I would need LOTS of training in that area. When I comes to multitasking, I'm borderline brain-dead, hahaha! Just looking at a ringing phone's caller ID mid-conversation makes me stop talking. I'd be a terrible pilot, lol.😁
Still enjoy watching you fly, though! Thanks for taking us along! 👍
This kind of exercise really makes you realize the usefulness of an integrated EFIS.
Nice! Just about to jump into my IFR training. Passed my written with 90% last month. Good luck with yours!
Congrats Robert! I am so frustrated with the written test prep. I just can’t maintain the momentum to stay on top of it... I feel like I keep having to relearn what I had figured out from the last time I was able to focus on studying for a week or two... then I get busy and a couple months go by... and the cycle repeats
FlightChops Totally hear you. I buckled down and did some hardcore study/practice tests over the holiday break... and was able to keep the momentum going through January. Not an easy endeavor!
Now I can just focus on the practical aspect of it, and hope I don't suck as much as I think I do. Been practicing a bit in XPlane with PilotEdge without having had any real world lessons yet... I have a feeling I'm going to get schooled pretty thoroughly once I take a CFII up with me.
Robert Sogomonian well done rob
Nicely done Steve! Keep it up!
You should have the the pattern available when flying, like an instrument approach chart. Know the pitch and power settings for maneuvers. For 90 KTAS, each degree of pitch change equals 150 FPM. 500 FPM climb equals 3 and 1/4 degrees pitch change and power 500 rpm increase. Standard Rate Turn 13 degrees. Knowing how to precisely change your pitch and power will cut your workload down. Also, don't do anything in turns, too much opportunity to drop
Nothing better then a 6 pack for training!
Watched this before coffee. BRAIN PAIN! You did great.
Sorry :0
This is an excellent video! Jason is a top instructor, I love how he slowly builds you up to saturation. I'd love to try these types of exercises. I'm curious about your sensations - did you feel you were approaching saturation? (I generally don't notice until I'm really overloaded)
Great job, as always! Also, fidgeting right fuel tank gauge feels so familiar...
Man there is so much going on.. Love it!
I never did/heard of the Oscar Pattern. Think that would have been great to do. Gotta plan that for my next Currency ride & mebbe IPC down the road!!!
