I’m a CFII, SEL, MEL, FE, 2500+ hours and I still enjoy each of these vids. Yes, a good pilot is always learning and seeking knowledge and new techniques. Thanks for the vid.
I noticed that you did not brief the plate's date, I think that's also a good practice to make sure you have a valid plate. Thanks for the video as usual, helpful and informative. Happy flying
Great to meet you today at the AOPA fly-in. Glad the weather cleared up for a few hours. - Please consider doing a weather series that covers practical IFR flying (navigating thunderstorms, warm fronts, cold fronts) in different geographies in the US. Something like the Richard Collins seasons series, but more up to date.
Great information! I learned to make the annotations on the God's-eye view while flying with paper charts in the AF years ago. With the transition to Foreflight, I find myself zoomed in on the approach and wasting time scrolling down to check the altitude restrictions on the stadium view at just the wrong time. Thanks for helping me to renew some of the old habit patterns. Always great tips!
ANOTHER awesome video. Thanks Jason. I took your IFR CHECK RIDE course and - of course - passed thanks to the EXCEPTIONAL content and easy to follow methods. I still use your methods to keep my approaches fresh and briefed in (always hectic) Los Angeles air space. I cannot recommend your teaching videos and books enough. And even though you're flying "mach zero", you're still awesome, dude! (You would've been an amazing jockey)
Tim Farrar You should definitely do that in a crew environment. That is how the airlines train it. The briefs are done around 18,000’ on the descent. No approach briefings on the ground because you have no clue what approach you’re going to get or if you’ll ever need one. Less is more when it comes to retention so you can’t just brief every approach. You should also brief the runway exit plan at the end of the approach brief. An adequate brief should take no more than a minute after both crew members familiarize themselves with the approach. Pilots have short attention spans.
So what if your instructor gives you your approach 10 minutes away from the airport. I’ve always found this frustrating and confusing and leaves me a little time to do anything.
Hey hey fellow American airlines cadet, thanks for your service. Prob wouldn't be here working through instrument if it weren't for your helpful vids!! blue skies friend
How do you know if the IFR charts you download from the web are up to date (without going into payware) ? because i've seen some frequencies that have changed over time
Hi Jason! As always, great vids and content. Not sure if you remember me, but I am now interested in obtaining my instrument rating; finally! I currently own a share in an airplane and would like to start preparing and training for my instrument rating. What are the current requirements, and what in your opinion would be the estimated cost to me to take my checkride? I know the cost could vary, but I’m looking for an average cost so I can plan funding. Thank you in advance for your time! Ray
Hi Brent! Those are waypoints and can be found on the chart! They are also in the GPS's database. If you have any further questions about them please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com and we can have a CFI answer your question! Thanks for watching!
If your coming in IFR the order of the freqs will like be Approach, ATIS, Approach, Twr (first contact include information "blah blah") and keep Approach in stby for missed.
Sorry Jason, I think you missed an important point. once we brief the airport and name of the approach, we should immediately verify the valid time of this plate. If that goes wrong, the any following briefing basically does nothing.
Are there any companies that Finance Flight lessons? I would like to just have a lesson everyweek and get it done but can be a drain on the family resources
Yea, but the interest rates are rather high (12%) or so. You are better off paying as you go. Aviation also gets cheaper after the private license. During instrument training, you and another buddy can do the whole safety pilot thing, which costs the cut of flight experience in half. Good luck! Remember, everything has a cost including deciding not to chase something that is important to you. That logic makes it work for me.
@@ryangee7354 Thanks, I see a lot of them want you to have a 800+ credit score as well. $120 for a 172 wet and 40 hr for instruction so total of $160 per hour of flight instruction. I completed the MzeroA ground school while under the trial period took me just under 12 days. I have some past experience but just never finished and Now kids are grown and I need to do this for me and my dad who can't get a pilots lic because he has a heart Cath and 78 now. He was a pilot in the military years back and just never got his private. I want to do this for him and take him for some rides in the Big Wild Blue! I was a SGT in the USMC as well and worked on A-4's, F-4's and F-18's and worked for McDonnell Douglas before they sold to Boeing.
Uhhhh, totally missed the paragraph of procedural notes in the header section.....if the IAP can be thought of a contract with the FAA for flying a safe procedure, then the procedural notes are the stipulative fine print that one ignores at the risk of violating that contract
hi, i would like to chat with you if you can, i am a VFR pilot out of Idaho,USA. moved back to Egypt and i am planing some ideas in Egypt i would like to have your opinion on it, or i can call you if you like, thank you

Charles McKenna ForeFlight really does that for you. And if you’re using Jepp’s, like most all professionals, briefing the effective date is pointless unless you have the log of effective pages somehow memorized. With Jepp’s it’s more important to verify both crew members have the same effective date. The first part of my brief would go something like “This is the ILS 36 at Ocala eleven-dash-one dated the 22nd of February 2019. Do you concur?” Once the other crew member does we move on with the brief from there.
Banchee what is the point of them having the dates on there? People print out the plates before they take off and don’t always read them off the iPads. And maybe they forget to throw away the old ones. And a good IFR preflight plan is to have paper back ups in case your iPad fails for whatever reason.
Charles McKenna I’m not talking about paper plates. I don’t know any professionals that print out paper plates. If anything they have another iPad. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with verifying the dates on government plates. I commented regarding using ForeFlight for the plates. If you have old paper plates laying around I suppose that’s on the pilot to ensure their legality just like all other documents in aviation.

Thank you for the kind words!
Does Foreflight save the annotations until they're changed? So you could set that up and always have it for your frequently used airports?
Awesome reminder! Thanks as always!
I was always taught to brief the valid dates of the plate first

Myself as well Tim. Good input.
thank you for the vid! i tried the link to access the online school, but it says: This form is no longer accepting submissions.

Great tips!! Thank you!
thanks for the help. the 2 weeks free trial is no longer working

Hi Jason I was just wondering if you would reopen the two-week trial this would help me out so much THANK YOU
Hi Nick! Please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com so we can assist you. Thanks!
Will the in plane video be tomorrow? Nice video!!
I’ve only flown a handful of times but I’m determined to learn as much as possible just in case I end up in control of one some day. 🤣😂
Thank you!
How do you find these points on a map like TALZA and FIBUS?? What even are those? Landmarks?

Great vid Jason thanks. How do you know what the active runway will be? Based on winds/weather prior to takeoff?
Greg A I use weather first. Sometimes I may call the destination airfield. Some ATISs transmit online as well.

Michael it was one of the first things mentioned.
Michael Hill he mentioned it, but he was also not in a situation where alternate minimums were required
@@MzeroAFlightTraining i went back and watched the video again and yes, I stand corrected

busy on study doing the IFR approach ATC lol
I love watching your vidoes but please use zoom in features often as I watch most of your videos on the phone and it is hard to see .
Thanks for the feedback, Samina!
What kind of shirts you wear bro?
I've always wondered that as well! lol
Don't forget to brief the alternate. Danny
Good call Danny
You never verified the date it’s valid for. That’s the first thing I check then move on to the location and rwy.
Charles McKenna ForeFlight really does that for you.

Might as well colour the whole plate purple
