I’m getting ready for my CFII so thank you. Gotta stay sharp

[jpm]

You clearly put a lot of thought into your questions, multiple choice where you *can't* immediately throw out 1 or 2 -- that's the right approach.

@FlightInsight - Why do I think that at @3:40 it is not teardrop entry, instead a parallel entry? Can someone help me to understand why I have this discrepancy, please?

[rickjaime]

Thanks for the explanations Dan, super helpful. I didn't do very well on those 5 questions...was able to figure out why...but this video is really helpful! Especially the question on the holds, those always throw me. Getting ready to start my own CFII training.

[WabbitWay]

folks. CFII guy here. sign up for flightInsight IFR course. I did, and I am already a CFII. beats everyone else, hands down

[dalegammell]

As always quality content! Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos. I share your videos with as many people as I can.

[Randomy]

Here is the thing you put effort into practicing anything none is stuff is hard!

[almsys]

That was a tough test. I hope you hit us with more tough ones in the future.

I have my first instrument lesson in a few hours. These “hard” questions I was 3/5, but in my studying, I’ve found that most questions are hard. The easy ones are few and far between.

[FernvalleyFarm]

hi love the videos have learned so much, i have Ben averaging a 90+ on your practice instrument tests, will these practice exams get me ready for the real thing ?

[psychastria]

Well, I got 80% of those questions right (paused when the question was read, and figure shown where applicable, figured it out, continued watching for answer). The only one I missed was #2 about RNAV, and really I should have simply read all the answers because it was obviously not B or C. In the days of my IFR training none of the planes had RNAV or LORAN, and predated widespread GPS so none of them had that either, so anything I knew about RNAV was limited to what was on the practical test and what was described in the textbooks. I never actually used RNAV myself.

[YSLaurens]

These or similar questions are some of the more doable ones in the EASA question bank. No wonder airmen struggle when converting their FAA license to an EASA one.

[bencalhoun]

on the 3rd question, wouldn't a teardrop entry be better?

[jonathanguerrero]

Looks like a great course! Do you guys have a discount code?

[cayetanolopez]

Thank you so much for this, is so helpful

[dkoz]

No wonder we dont have flying cars and skys full of virtual freeways. Maybe 1 in 10, 000 people can undestand this stuff sufficiently to fly safely in all weather. Come on, an experienced helicopter pilot, ferring Kobe Bryant, augered into Santa Monica mountainside on a cloudy day. What hope is there for rest of us.

[tgiphil]

You made a mistake on question 3. You said "teardrop entry" even though you depicted a direct entry. Also, in the question you gave it would be in the direct entry slice with the track being 60 degrees (10 degrees left of the teardrop zone).

[joinn]

@flightinsight can you guys do a video about weight and balance please?

[cm]

Still kind of confused why it's a teardrop entry :/

[AaronWbirdman]

Even though the holding pattern should be a teardrop based on position of the radial it’s more of a direct isn’t it….?
