This was a really good video. I’ve seen others where they’ve talked about filing IFR flight plans using ForeFlight, and using past app approved routes. But this is the first time I ever saw somebody do it in real time. Plus, it was cool to see the actual flight planning, filing, and then subsequent flight using Syd flight plan. this is great Contant for those of us who are beginning to embark upon our own training. Take care, and thanks again!
The most thorough flight preparation video I’ve seen. Applicable to both IFR and VFR. I like the methodical references on NOTAMS and PIREPS, verifying the lack of or effect on you planned flight.
Not to dry:) It's all relevant information for us new Instrument pilots. As the Saturday morning TV public service announcement says, "The more you know!" Great info, thx!!
@@TheFlyingSalesman Ha ha, whoops:( But, true, I just turned 57 and am working towards my commercial. Trying to cram all this info into my grey matter takes some doing.
Dry? I don't think so. The first half of the video (flight briefing and planning) was so informative and the rest was so useful too. Thank you so much for sharing all these details!
Ive been watching you recently and was following along when I heard myself on your video. Bonanza 7476P. Was headed to Longview to drop off a friend. 😂. Keep up the videos!
I noticed that ForeFlight was not totally updated for charts as you were loading the plan. I assume you update the Aspen every 28 days. More on that next time perhaps. Good videos. Thanks 9:25
Keep it up! You are one of the most articulate communicators that I've heard. I appreciate your attention to detail and insight. I am a follower. Thank you.
Excellent narration, this really helps us learn real world IFR or at least is a good refresher for best methods. It’s all about the building blocks. No need to excuse it. If your intent is educational content then let it be that. If others want entertainment, let them find it elsewhere. Great video! Keep it up!
As I'm in the middle of my IFR training, the radio work on this video was amazing and helpful, along with the helpful planning phase at the beginning of the video. Thanks and All the Best!
Excellent training video. Thank you for your time and effort. I would love to see and hear more of your narration upon the approach. Activating legs and talking about crossing fixes and altitudes.
Yes sir very well done! Great to see the IFR flight plan filed in real time. I learned a lot. Great to hear your thoughts as well on why you do things the way you do. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoy this in depth detail of the minutia of a take off with your flight plan and coordination with atc. As someone chasing their PPL I find it very insightful.
@@atown4428 thanks for coming along! 48n is down right now but as soon as it comes back up we will be back in the air. What can I cover from the hangar that would help you as you prepare for your ppl?
This is genius level mastery of instruction here. You have command of all high tech tools and make it appear so seamless, it's amazing. I could watch a hundred videos like this for other travel route you take, just to the differences in time of day, wx conditions and other impacting conditions. This is great, please do more!!
I've got my IR ride coming up soon and have been scrounging the internet for as many IFR flight videos I can find so I can absorb as much real world IFR information as possible and this video was a perfect example of that! Love the content!
I’m about to start the IFR training and just finished reading the Instrument Handbook. This IFR flying video helps me understand the full flow. What a timing! 👏 👍
Great video - as a student pilot, seeing you descending into the clouds made me nervous, but you clearly know what you're doing. Masterful flying, sir !
Thank you very much. Rely on your training and never stop learning. Even after you get your private, fly with an instructor at LEAST once a year continue to work on airmanship and knowledge. Also, always remember this- It is easier to explain why you went around, than it is to explain why you didn't. Fly safe and blue skies fellow Aviator!
@@SandyGreene-y6j I am just passing it on as it was passed to me, please share it with others when you think it will help. We all gotta help one another.
As a 747 pilot all the details are critical to a safe flight. Thank you for making the video as most people don't know how long it takes before we are ready to even move the airplane.
@@TheFlyingSalesman 747 cargo...it's my dream job. Our weather briefings are more complicated just because it's harder to predict the weather 10hrs later in another country.
Thank you. Departures and arrivals aren't covered very well anywhere else. I'm an Instrument student and your videos are a huge help. You're a great teacher. Do you have an IFR departure/arrival checklist?
That was interesting to see the whole process. I think you're smart to stay configured for worst case conditions near the clouds. Thanks for the video!
I agree with you. I believe one of the most dangerous aspects of Instrument flight is that real world experience is usually dramatically different than training. And often, real world IMC experience does not happen as often as it needs to in order to stay proficient. For pilots with IRs, I believe constant training and application of those skills is essential.
This was absolutely excellent. Love this, again absolute excellent example of real world planning, preparing and flying IFR. You should do another when you have actual weather to give another example in the soup.
Thanks for the video… I appreciate your efforts in sharing your flying knowledge and experience… Good job explaining in easy to understand in every day language! New fan!!!
Great video really like the pre planning your trip and inputting the information this is very helpful and helps to keep on top of what planning is required.please keep the videos coming best oneI have found. 👍
Loved this preflight detail! Great video! Curious about the beginning when you said you’d be leaving at 10:10. Is that when ATC should expect you to take off? And what happens if that time is incorrect? (I noticed we went past that with all the explanations) Great landing! I kept thinking you were already on the ground. 😂
I am looking for a link to answer your question, I THINK, IFR flight plans are valid 15 min prior to departure until 2 hours after. I am going to reach out to the real pros and get you a definitive answer. STANDBY…
@@TheFlyingSalesman I’m just south of Houston at Pearland Regional KLVJ. I liked when you displayed the Nearest Airport list in the GPS in case of an unexpected need to deviate . I shared your video with a few other IFR students. Actually you did a better job explaining the process than some CFII I’ve seen. lol
The first half of the video was very helpful. I’m thinking about doing Instrument rating and am intimidated by it. You help demystify some of the procedures. Thank you!
@@JulioHernandez-gz5lr your decision has to be rooted in not only training to earn the rating, but continuous training to stay proficient. All the best! -TFS
I'm new to foreflight so it's all new to me so I appreciate it, will be watching again, great reference, appreciate you! Good stuff, hope comments help you, happy Father's Day
Really enjoyed your video to Denton,TX. Your commentary was super. I subscribed to your channel after enjoying your video. Very few pilots provide the insight into flying IFR that you did in your video. The landing was a A GREASER as they say!
What a great video and well executed flight. Good advice to fly stabilized in your own style. This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Matt, what a informative video , one of the best I've seen for a start to finish flight . It is as if I was doing it I was doing it myself. You are a consummate professional, you do such a great job. Keep the great videos coming .😊
These long form videos are great for student pilots like myself.
