0-1-2-3, if your destination has 0 instrument approaches or the forecasted weather at your destination 1hr before or 1hr after your eta is forecasted to be lesss than 2000ft ceilings and 3sm mile visibility
I am absolutely convinced you are the best of the best. Your videos got me through my training at ATP. You made aviation fun for me and I can’t thank you enough. So happy for all your success and I can’t wait for all your future videos.
Great IFR video Lew. Working to finish my instrument ticket. My last flight was the 230nm cross country and it was done at night in mountainous terrain with no moonlight illumination. Needless to say we had a long conversation about risk factors and our plan. This was driven by AC availability. I also needed to update my night currency. It all worked out fine, but I don’t wish to do this again. This is not a good combination for flying.
1-2-3. If your destination doesn't have an IAP then you need to have vis to descend VFR from MEA. But you will need an alternate with an IAP if you do that.
Another thing I like to teach with threshold height versus field elevation is if the runway will be sloped. This can make a huge difference in that transition from IMC to VMC and also identifying the correct runway once visual is made.
6:00 love the tower controller being a pedant and being wrong. we've all done that. 23:45 "you don't need autopilot" .. cut to Otto, looking dejected 25:50 great controller there!
An alternate is required if the destination airport is going to be less than 600 feet and 2 miles visibility for a precision approach or 800 feet and 2 miles for a non-precision approach between 1 hour prior to one hour after your arrival. It is a requirement to file it. However, you don’t actually have to fly there. You can fly anywhere you want to that may be VFR. As good practice, regardless of the regulation, it is always a good idea to file an alternate.
I think those are the requirements for the alternate. Need for an alternate to be selected I think is the 123 rule. 1 hour before and after, 2000ft ceiling, 3 mile visibility.
@@kevinboyd7903 yes, that is correct. I always file an alternate because you just never know. Since you do not have to actually fly to that alternate it’s nice to know it is an option available. Most small general aviation aircraft do not have the range to fly to an alternate with good weather if there is widespread weather in the area. I have seen bad weather being well over 300 miles in diameter. Needless to say someone who rents an airplane is really not going to wanna fly three hours to an alternate.
One hour before & after your ETA there must be 2,000' ceilings w/ 3sm of visibility OR an instrument approach. If neither of those conditions are met, then you must file an alternate. To file an alternate, there must be a 600' ceilings with 2sm of visibility for a precision approach. For non-precision you must have 800' ceilings with 2sm of visibility. If you're using GPS for your intended destination, your alternate must have an approach that does NOT use GPS. I hope I nailed it, I've got my instrument checkride next month! Cheers.
Keep up the videos and what you do for Aviation training! I just completed my PPL on 10/6 and it is due in part to your training videos and upbeat attitude! I wish my CFI was half the CFI you are! Working on my instrument training currently and this video is perfectly timed! Thank you again, Lew!
Thanks so much for that video, I'm working on instrument now and it's really nice to see this kind of thing, really starts bringing all together for me.
I'll be working on my CFII soon, so alternate is needed when the weather at your destination from 1 hour before to 1 hour after is forecasted to be at or lower than 2000ft ceilings and 3sm visibility. When filing your alternate must have weather of 600/2 for a precision approach and 800/2 for non-precision. In the air, if you divert, your alternate must be at or above the required minimums for the approach you are choosing.
At 34:52 when you were on the visual portion, the needle said you were way above glide slope and then it quickly switched to way above g.s. Is that an example of “false glide slope”?
you need to file an alternate at all times unless the weather is forecasted better than 3 sm visibility and ceilings of 2000ft 1hr before and after time of arrival
Lew, what an _incredible_ display of precision piloting! This video was so well done that I shared it with my fellow pilot friends. 😀 Awesome! Thank you so much for this!
It’s so hard to get good actual IMC here in FL, and definitely none during the summer. You really need to quickly take advantage of an IMC day b/c Wx changes quickly; most of the time, I’m stuck at work looking at a nice 500ft ceiling. By the time I’m out, it’s sunny. Got lucky once at KVDF ILS 23 down to min during an Angel Flight pickup.
Hi Lewis, I'm a big fan of your videos. Currently, working towards my commercial license with 350 flight hrs so far. I've seen what seems to be a common misconception regarding the regulation at the 14-minute mark. My understanding is that the pilot should not descend below 309 feet on the Orlando (ILS RWY 7) approach due to the absence of red terminating bars or red side row bars on the approach lights.This approach has MALSR lights, as opposed to ALSF I or II. I wanted to contribute this insight to your fantastic community. Keep up the outstanding work - your videos have been an invaluable resource throughout my journey. I've found that saying "Welcome to the Sky" on takeoff greatly helped early on to ease my nerves during solo flights!
Hey, may want to re-read 91.175. My reading is that ability to descend below DA/MDA is dependent ONLY on having the approach lighting system. Having visual contact with the red terminating bars or side row lights allows a pilot to descend below 100 feet above TZE. I’m not a CFII, but play one on RUclips. Ha! Others check my conclusion here.
How did you know I was talking? You stuck up your finger to shush me when atc was calling you. Another great video. Flew into ISM last week and looked for you but I think I was on the other side of the field.
You always need an alternate... unless.... the airport has instrument approaches and 1 hour before or after your ETA the ceiling are reported AGL and at least 2000' and 3sm of visibility
What i really like abt you is that you work very hard , but when you fly or instruct students , you make flying 🛫 fun and interesting , coolest pilot on RUclips with great aviation content 👏👏👏
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you! I always try my best to make flying fun for my students and whoever I fly with. All the while maintaining a high standard!
I'm working on my instrument rating. These videos, although not for instructional purpose, provide fantastic insight. Got to stay ahead & know ATC verbiage. You're cool 😎 on the mic!!
Man I need to get my IPC done. Clouds are fun until they slam you around :) Either way I definitely need to go hit it. Keep up the fun flying! Take us on a trip somewhere with the fiance, a nice little day trip up or down the coast!
I did keep watching and you did mention the timer. :) your videos or excellent. My instructor had me tape the 6 T’s inside the airplane as i alway forget the time. And then rely on GPS for my missed approach point.
Of course the air traffic control is going to be nice to you and ask you what you want to do, your an expert pilot. I’m a Private pilot with very little experience they get irritated very fast especially in a rain storm with me. Living in the Philippines and flying my own plane as a hobby in retirement.
When you start the timer on the ILS, do you start it at the maltese cross or the glide slope intercept? I know in this case it is the same thing but not all are that way. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks Lew, another stellar video. I just got my PPL in April and your videos were truly invaluable. About to start my IR soon so this video is timely! Btw I find myself saying “Welcome to the Sky” every time I take a passenger up. Hope you don’t mind! 😊
Can’t forget the 600 and 2 if your alt doesn’t have a precision approach or 800 and 2 if there’s a non precision at the alternate 🫡 on top of the 1-2-3 ofc 😅
I see you take the last two stages of flap at decision, why wouldn’t you be fully stabilised at the FAF? And, I fly complex so at 1000’ I call “Red, Blue three greens” at what point would you make that call, even if it’s just the mixture?
Great video Lewis one day when the savings are there id love to give this a go. For now its the flight sim Piper Arrow for me. Followed your instruction stable approach and smooth landing Thanks for the videos
3 2 1 Method for needing an alternate. weather at your destination isn't at least 3 SM of visibility and 2000' AGL ceilings from 1 hour before to 1 hour after your ETA, you need to file an alternate.
Whenever the visibility at your destination airport is at least 3 statute miles with at least 2000ft ceilings one hour before your estimate time of arrival then you do not need to file an alternate but if you don't satisfy all these requirements you do need an alternate in your flight plan 🙂
What a great review of instrument procedures! I may have missed it, but what are you using for magnetic heading since your magnetic compass is inop? Does your GPS have a magnetometer that can substitute the magnetic compass? Thank you for what you do! Keep up the great work!!
The runway haha. Once the runway is in sight you slow down and add the flaps. No use in doing that if you don't have the runway in sight and have to go missed.
Hey Lew, I’m starting next month a zero to hero program in a bigger school they have plenty of airplanes and in house maintenance. I’ll be training full time, what do you recommend part 61 or 141 since they are giving me the option to choose? I want to achieve al my ratings as quick, safe and efficiently possible.
I see you put your flaps in over 100 knots, don’t you need to stay within the first white arch for flaps? Or is 10 degrees not that big of an issue? Thanks
3-2-1: if visibility is forecast under 3 statute miles or clouds are forecast under 2,000 feet AGL any time between 1 hour before ETA and 1 hour after ETA, you need an alternate
Thanks man. I'm not sure about my own aircraft but I have something exciting I'm working on to give me access to a correctly positioned winged aircraft.
Hard to find IMC in central Florida. I recall doing my training at Florida Institute of Technology and I think I had 2.2 of actual IMC at the time I did my IFR check-ride...Great one Lewis! Are you attending the NAFI Summit?
Whenever I see the death grip I point it out to the student and as they get more comfortable, they relax. Giving them an environment they are comfortable in goes a long way to reducing death grips, so in all honesty I don’t see it that often.
I file it as a "round robin". The departure airport is the same as the destination airport. There is a document issued on the FAA NOTAM site that tells you to add codes to the remarks if you want to do multiple practice approaches under IFR. So that's what I do - Add the codes to my flight plan remarks and they can see what I want. Most of the time I still get asked what I want to do though as shown in the video. The controllers are great and help wherever they can.
And just to be more specific; if at your destination airport the weather will not be 3 sm vis, 2,000 ceiling, for 1 hr before and 1hr after your arrival you will need to file an alternate.
alternate...3-2-1 RULE!! if the weather at your destination isn't at least 3 SM of visibility and 2000' AGL ceilings from 1 hour before to 1 hour after your ETA, need an alternate.
Alone at last with Lew 😎
0-1-2-3, if your destination has 0 instrument approaches or the forecasted weather at your destination 1hr before or 1hr after your eta is forecasted to be lesss than 2000ft ceilings and 3sm mile visibility
Oooh! I like the "0" addition to this. I knew that but I hadn't thought about it in that way.
and overcast heigt must be higher than mea (minimal enroute altitude)
Excellent. Looks like zero has a value

13:32 You said there's no hold for the missed - shouldn't you do a climbing left turn to 1600, R046 and hold at OVIDO as per the missed approach proc?
I was given alternate missed approach instructions by ATC.

Working on my instrument now and it is so true that if they eyes stop moving you are off. You can change altitude by 50+ ft in a snap.

3 2 1 Method for needing an alternate. weather at your destination isn't at least 3 SM of visibility and 2000' AGL ceilings from 1 hour before to 1 hour after your ETA, you need to file an alternate.
Finally started my PPL! Ground school chugging along and so far the most important lesson is that the flaps on a Cessna have really sharp edges. 🤷♂️
In a low wing you wouldn't have spent the week in hospital because of hitting your head. The wings are correctly positioned on them! haha
@@LewDixAviation spot on! 😂
Whenever the visibility at your destination airport is at least 3 statute miles with at least 2000ft ceilings one hour before your estimate time of arrival then you do not need to file an alternate but if you don't satisfy all these requirements you do need an alternate in your flight plan 🙂
A perfect approach is a boring one… aircraft well configured and flying ahead of the aircraft… amazing job Lew. Hope to be as good
That's a cool t-shirt you got 🇧🇷
If you ever make it out to the Bay Area I can show you some good spots!

Just a quick question, why didn't you check the magneto’s before takeoff?
Keep doing a great Stuff !
He undoubtedly did but edited out the runup.
Absolute perfection
What a great review of instrument procedures! I may have missed it, but what are you using for magnetic heading since your magnetic compass is inop? Does your GPS have a magnetometer that can substitute the magnetic compass? Thank you for what you do! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you! The compass isn't inop haha. I'm not sure if I gave that impression but the compass is fine haha.
Nice, I guess it just looks like there’s tape over it, but maybe the camera just didn’t pick it up.
Great as normal. Trying al little Dix humor
Thank you!
Great video!
You come in much faster than when on VFR. Can you describe when you know to pull it back to landing speed? What are you looking for?
The runway haha. Once the runway is in sight you slow down and add the flaps. No use in doing that if you don't have the runway in sight and have to go missed.
@@LewDixAviation OKAY - I've just been waiting for my instructor to scream in PANIC -- SLOW THE &%$# DOWN. Your idea might work better.

No plans for that. Yet haha
@@LewDixAviationhow about visiting your local enroute control centre? That would be a great video
No carb heat on any of your videos? Is your 172 fuel injected?
Yes, this 172 is fuel injected
I have an odd question, are you trained or is it taught what to do in case a student does the death grip? I have heard about those cases.
Whenever I see the death grip I point it out to the student and as they get more comfortable, they relax. Giving them an environment they are comfortable in goes a long way to reducing death grips, so in all honesty I don’t see it that often.
Are you putting in flaps outside your flap arc?
Yes I am which in this aircraft is absolutely normal. The white arc is from 33-85 KIAS but if you read the POH, Vfe flaps 10° is 110 KIAS.
How do you file a practice IFR approach like you did in this video??
I file it as a "round robin". The departure airport is the same as the destination airport. There is a document issued on the FAA NOTAM site that tells you to add codes to the remarks if you want to do multiple practice approaches under IFR. So that's what I do - Add the codes to my flight plan remarks and they can see what I want. Most of the time I still get asked what I want to do though as shown in the video. The controllers are great and help wherever they can.
I went onto the FAA NOTAM site and can’t find the doc with codes… please help. 😅
Did you quit the airlines.
@@philo5096 Yes
I'm sorry but whats meaning '' this information is Hotel"?
Wobbly wobbly
why did you leave the airlines?
(👁👃👁) In the past year, how many times have you heard ATC use the prepositions "for" and "to" ?
3-2-1 rule big dog!
And just to be more specific; if at your destination airport the weather will not be 3 sm vis, 2,000 ceiling, for 1 hr before and 1hr after your arrival you will need to file an alternate.
Flying solo in the right seat? Is that common? (nvm I commented too soon)

alternate...3-2-1 RULE!! if the weather at your destination isn't at least 3 SM of visibility and 2000' AGL ceilings from 1 hour before to 1 hour after your ETA, need an alternate.
Why can't the faa have better analogies like this one... I swear just everyday pilots have better learning techniques then them it's sad
@@bubbaman12289 what is your better learning technique in this case?
It works the other way too 1-2-3 or 3-2-1. It's a beautiful analogy.
did you just say you dont need Otto pilot?
thats sort of mean, isnt it.. i mean i thought Otto was a good friend of yours?
He had it coming!
Filing an alternate is as easy as 1 2 3 if you know what I mean.
Oh I get it!
