Great explanation! If you’re not a pilot, Kip, you should be. You explain this stuff better than I ever could, and I’m a retired airline pilot. 😁

I can't describe how perfect this video is for a guy who is trying to make sense of it all. So beautifully explained and articulated, with visuals to match. You zoom in and explain why you're doing what you're doing and it's just amazing man. Thank you, you truly are a great creator and instructor. Glad I came across this channel.

Please become a CFI. We need more people that are good at explaining things out there in the sky.

Just getting into X-Plane and was struggling to get the ILS to control the altitude but your explanation made it clear you have to HIT or cross through the glide slope. The APR mode wont take you TO the glide slope. So thanks for helping get my head around that small detail.

[ANACRUIS]

Many thanks... this has to be the best ILS tutorial (xplane/msfs) i've seen...

[Benmeglei]

Brother, I kid you not I must have watched 50 different videos trying to get this down. I just successfully landed my first ILS flight. Thank you so much. The way you explained and also showed what the numbers on the flight card represent was fantastic. Thank you!! 👊🏻

[PrivateVoid]

I've watched a lot of IFR tutorials to help me perform ILS approaches and this is without doubt the best. It covers everything I needed to know. I especially liked the explanation of how to read the approach plates. Thankyou Kip.

[lolrofl]

God, I cannot get over how good you are at explaining these things! Some tutorials are drawn out and hard to follow, but you are incredibly precise and clear - thank you!

[markdulaney]

As a non pilot you know more than 90% of pilots. GREAT JOB! More teaching videos please, your explanations are amazing. I hope to learn the sim better so someday I can fly with your groups. Looks fun I just need more sim knowledge.

[avnz]

Awesome tutorial, had to go missed when i realized i didnt have ils tuned on both but tried again and boy was it a sweet landing :) thanks!

[jujmental]

Kip, I'm so thrilled to have 'discovered' your fantastic tutorials. I have to say your ability to explain and describe some fairly complicated stuff is absolutely head and shoulders above most other YouTube tutorials. Great job Kip - you're always my first stop for guidance on getting to grips with the finer points of my hobby - THANK YOU!

[jacquesdemolay]

So far, the best video I have seen on the subject -- which gave me the initial knowledge to actually start and do an IFR / ILS for the first time. Thank you very much.

[OilNBolts]

I've flown that approach dozens of times. The realism is just shocking. So good.

[meekoshmoo]

O. M. G. This video was beyond helpful by far the best video for ILS stuff this helped me so much!!

[GamingAirlines]

Kip, I wish you make ground school videos for my PPL and coming up IFR ratings, maybe even all the ground school videos(multi, commercial, ETC). Your videos are really well made. They are very well explained in detail step by step and well-made visuals. Thanks for making these videos, even though it's for Flight Sim it's still definitely can be applied to real-world aviation. You are really helping me out. Keep the videos coming!

[rodneycichon]

Great job, thinking of starting IFR certificate. Auto pilot makes it a lot easier . Thanks for your tutoring

[andreinechaev]

I am a new PPl pilot and this explanation is relly help me, thanks)!

[Viej]

hahah I loved that rough landing after the whole perfect video 😂

[salemi]

This was exactly what I’ve been looking for. You left no stone unturned. Perfect how to. Going to hop on later with xplane and practice this exact plan. Ty so much!!!

[Steve-dovz]

Thanks for the help, Kip. I was haviing all kinds of trouble with the ILS approach. 😁I was about ready to give up, that is until I found your training. Much appreciated.
