Watching this on the morning of my IFR checkride 😂

Dude, 8MA is THE man... saved me for my IRF check ride oral. 8MA is like a disciple of Jesus when it comes to preaching the good word of IFR sh*t. love him!

[scarpaz]

You explained en-route charts a lot better than commercial video courses I have seen!

[iamMarkCole]

taking my CFII ride today, thanks for the review!

[RileyFM]

I've got my IFR Checkride in a few hours! watching this video one last time

[stuartcrutchfield]

I really enjoy your videos and use them a lot for IFR info. Thanks!

[sarrahconley]

Thank you! I'm a rusty Pilot. I had stopped halfway through my IFR due to financial troubles. I am trying to come back. First I'm trying to prove I can pass the written exam.

[Josh-ckyf]

I had no knowledge of these charts before and now I understand everything that has been mentioned in the video. This has been a easy to understand and very helpful video! I can't wait to watch the rest of the playlist!

[MORRISMANO]

This video has been so helpful throughout my ifr training, keep up the good work and thank you very much

[ashkanfered]

Really appreciate this series. Very informative. The way you explained the material made it very easy to understand. Keep up the outstanding work.

[ryanmobley]

I just started basic instruments at Rucker. Love your videos. They are very helpful!

[thepilotrider]

Thank you for this! I just finished my IFR part 1 ground class and have an exam tomorrow. You definitely answered my questions. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for all your videos. Currently studying for my IFR and they really help

Great vid. At 60, and flying since 15, looking at these charts reminds me of the VOR based world I started in. Those victor airways are all formed by VOR intersections. Its obviously safer now to use GPS with map situational awareness, but you have to admire the VOR system. The ultimate for a VOR IFR driver was two NAV/COMs with one set to the current radial and the other set to flip the needle when crossing the intersection. You kept the moving map in your mind, and used various tricks to verify that you were at the right place at the right time.

Just got my II. Thanks for the refresher

[lambertoroscioli]

Great video!!! Thank you! This was really well explained!!! Small note that at 2:29 V521 breaks at Quncy (and not via LaBelle VOR)

[miraclemayes]

this video is a LIFESAVER!!! Thank you so much!

[JosephGelis]

Great, informative videos. I noticed many of the five-letter airway intersection names have a local flavor to them. Surrounding the New Orleans airport there is ZYDCO for zydeco music, VOODO - New Orleans has a deep history of voodoo. RYTHM for NOLA's unique blend of music. And my favorite, OYSTY - oysters are an absolute pillar of NOLA cuisine. I'm guessing airport officials for that particular city put in requests to the FAA for naming privileges of the nearby intersections. Anyway, looking forward to watching the remainder of your well presented videos.

[michaelspanne]

Amazingly helpful! Thanks for a great explanation!

[doubleemcastillano]

I watch these videos mainly to make my simulation experience as realistic as possible. I contemplate going to an Aviation School sometimes. It would be nice to understand and be decent at it before going. Would save me money as well.
