IFR Flight In SOLID IMC | Holding & ILS/RNAV Approaches

These are the kinds of flight days that I love. The clouds were low enough to get a lot of actual IMC time but high enough to be safe. A perfect combination for instrument proficiency and currency.

Lewis, please do more IFR videos like this. I learned more from this 35 minute video than almost any other IFR video out there.

[Glyrez]

And the banter continues! Great IFR learning Mr. Lewis!

[JeffreyRonner]

I had a pair of the original Lightspeed ANR headsets and recently upgraded to the Zulu 3. They are solidly built, with excellent noise reduction and are amazingly comfortable, without any head pressure. A pleasure to use!

[MichaelKipper]

I'm a PPL and the only instrument flying I've done was executing some 180's and maintaining some headings.
Watching you attempt to intercept a glidepath in real IMC was terrifying.
As you said near the end: "this is not fun flying, this is work".
I'll do my instrument rating one day, but I'm not sure I'll ever be comfortable...

[gregrudman]

I use Bose, but the Delta Zulus are impressive! Thanks for another great video.

[davedietz]

Fantastic video, I’m just starting my instrument training and seeing you go through the paces and explain things so thoroughly is a tremendous help. Thank you!

[rmshivo]

They're on a roll. Seen the FLYING REPORTER reviewing the lightspeed headset as well.

[DrumNamaeste]

love this Lewis ! especially your verbal walk thru and the how easy it would be to become disorientated> absolute gem mate

[stevewatkins]

Just a suggestion...try keeping an eye on your turn coordinator as much as the attitude indicator... it really helps me keep things smoother! Let us know what you think... Steve

[mikercflyer]

A great learning experience thats the way to keep pilot alive with constant IFR training. Merry Christmas.

[nayls]

Really appreciate the camera shot of the instruments.

[Lex_FX]

Beyond excellent video with a lot more learning points than you take credit for.
Hand flying a light aircraft in full IMC following IFR in controlled airspace AND live narration. Biggest takeaways for me; Pre-flight actions to reduce task loading in the air. Clear crew management and communication in-flight. Great example of how quickly spatial disorientation kicks in when manoeuvring through IMC. How hearing and short term memory are the first casualties as you approach task saturation. Well done guys.

[thebadgerpilot]

I’ve flown with both. Literally the only difference I’ve noticed is the material of the cord and the price. In-flight performance to me was nearly identical. For the money, I’m a Lightspeed Zulu3 guy all the way.

[itsPlanesUSA]

Love videos like this. I passed my instrument exam and my first instrument flight was yesterday, I felt very behind the airplane. Videos like this help very much

[aviatortrucker]

I just finished an IPC yesterday. With the light turbulence, holding altitude was a struggle. I went 7.5 degrees nose down and still was a climbing 400 fpm. Went 10 degrees nose up, full power and had a 600 fpm decent. All in all I should have filed block altitude, lol! Kept the needles centered and rode the Glideslope damn near perfect. Arms are now tired and sore.

[gmccord]

Oh, the dreaded mambo fix I know exactly where that is. From one Floridian to another good job!

[AlyssaM_InfoSec]

I have both the Zulu 3's and the Bose A20s and I'd agree, they are very comparable. I like that you pointed out the cords at the beginning because that is one thing I definitely like about the lightspeed over the Bose. Comfort wise I don't really notice any difference between the two. I did notice that the side tone volume on the Bose is a little quieter than the lightspeed. But overall I don't think you can go wrong with either set.

[cuhjfof]

Enjoying the videos, a lot.! Good metal exercise for me also.
I’ve used Zulu headsets for years and am a real fan of the sound and quality they produce.

[larsthorwald]

Aviation procedure presented as a form of comedy...very helpful.

[WilliamRodriguez-obxi]

Hey brother! I heard you over the radio today in Tallahassee and said hello. Back story is I was about to do my first solo when that happened. It was a friendly voice to hear on stressful day. Big fan of your work. I’d love to connect.

Also, great headset 😂 it’s what I use
