I’m retired ATC and currently a corporate pilot. Just want to say that your videos are probably the best I’ve ever seen. Your detailed explanations are normally spot on and I will often pick up some tidbit of information that I was not aware of. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for making this video. Only suggestion would be having some boxes to indicate the data you're talking about. As a complete beginner I don't know what information you're talking about and I need to keep pausing the video to search for it.
@5:23 It's mentioned the MAP for the LOC approach could be the time of 2 minutes and 36 seconds from the table. Can we use that time to identify when to go missed for ILS approach too? Or is it only ever valid for non-precision approaches?
If you’re going faster than 90 knots over the ground, you’ll hit the ground before the time elapses. ILS should use your altitude as the MAP. But it’s a good idea to set the timer anyway in case you lose the glide slope so you can still switch right away to the LOC
The missed approach point for the ILS is the DA while on the glideslope like thebadgerpilot was saying. Good call on the LOC timing in case you lose glideslope if you don't have a nav/comm GPS and you are using an old school VOR.
Sort of. The visibility is the minimum visibility required for attempting the approach and landing for Part 121 and Part 135 aircraft. Part 91 pilots can start the approach if flight visibility is less than minimums but ATC may not allow it. You can descend 100’ below the minimum altitude if you have the approach lights. You can descend below DA/DH to the runway if you have the runway environment in sight-lights, markings, etc. AND the flight visibility is above the minimum. Refer to CFR 91.175 (c ) for details. If reported visibility is below minimums you are not likely to be able to see the runway to land but sometimes the visibility from the cockpit (flight visibility) does allow you to see the runway environment and land.

I totally agree with your comment! The way and the ease he expresses himself explaining everything is incredible
Same
Thanks!
You are so good. You got me through PPL and now Instrument. Thank you for all you do. Amazing
Excellent presentation. Thanks

Thanks for another good vid. Even though I'm IR... These help keep me sharp.

This is literally my airport, and I'm studying to get my instrument within the next month. What a coincidence.😂
You didn't mention one of the most important parts of the approach plate: the effective dates.
so when vis is at or above rvr, it allows u to descend below min?
You can only descend below minimums if you have certain criteria (approach lights, for examples) to 100’ above the runway. Or of course to land
