Would you guys please consider releasing all of these as podcasts? I know it's better as a video but would still be helpful to be able to listen to while driving.

What performance calculator are you using (15:30)?

Great video. Another fine product from Boldmethod. Thanks!

Any chance you guys can use FAA (Gov) charts when doing these briefings? As student instrument pilots, we are told that we will be tested on FAA charts and after your checkride you can use whatever charts you want. Maybe you can also do a video on the differences (Pros and Cons) of the Jepp charts vs. FAA (Gov) charts. Best Instrument videos I have seen out there - period! And believe me, I have watched them all - lol. Always learning.

Fantastic information Thank you so much

Absolutely great video. Single pilot IFR is very demanding. I have been out of flying for eight years and getting back into it and having trouble passing my instrument proficiency because of all the new electronic gadgets and when they do the IPC it’s usually in short segments and you have to be really on your toes without auto pilot to aviate, navigate and still set things up. In the old days it seem like it was a lot easier.

As a new pilot, if im going to an airport ive never been to before i hunt youtube for recently published videos of that airport. It really helps me get a feel for what i should see. Studying for IFR, youtube helps me with approaches too. Its a wonderful resource.

I'm still struggling to understand how and why do you say your approach speed on a given day (depending on the flaps used) changes the minima applicable and makes your aircraft a Category A or Categiry B airplane? ICAO says that aircraft category doesn't change (except during circling, but there are no categories given there, just speeds). Also, with Vat given, you're also given a range of speeds for initial approach (and reversal and racetrack procedures) that have been taken into consideration when designing the procedure, and even though Vat for Category A is <91kts, the speeds for initial approach are 90-150.

Vat is calculated as 1.3 Vso, so you landing in a clean configuration as opposed to full flaps won't make any difference. If your aircraft is Category A, then it's Category A no matter what.

That's why for circling it doesn't say Category A, B, C, D - it gives speeds (because the turn radius and distance from the runway during circling WILL depend on that day's speed).

It might be an American thing, but as a European pilot I'm fairly confident that's wrong and it only applies to circling even according to TERPS criteria, not just EASA.

Thanks guys. Working on my instrument written and this very helpful.

[jonathanmarte]

Great quality, and very detailed oriented videos thanks guys

[luardelchico]

Great stuff with a great delivery. Thank you!

Holy cow ! An hour on how to brief an approach plate ???? The airline I fly for spent about fifteen minutes.

[dalsbury]

Great video. Trying to get familiar with IFR and this helped quite a bit.

Any chance you NOW offer this Performance Computer app on the App Store? Can or do you use the data from Foreflight with a Performance Plus subscription? I would think that offers much of the same Takeoff and Landing Performance data. However, the Missed approach data in your Performance computer is interesting.

Owesome video! THX for sharing. More IFR flying tips!

[charleslefort]

Am I the only one who tries to find and download the Boldmethod music at the start and end of these videos? Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for making these.

[CaptainLeo]

Can you explain the banana bar you mentioned?

[Xmaster_]

Wich app are u using for explain that u can highlight and get the arrow ?

Speaking of landing on taxiway, here's a stellar example:
Hits a lot of his danger points: Last minute runway change, low-altitude circling maneuver, PAPI lights confusion, taxiway looked like runway, etc.

How about doing a session on SkewT diagrams for the next IFR program?
