Let's plan and fly a full IFR flight in IMC

Hello fellow Aviators! This one is a little different. I take you through the entire flight plane process for a flight from KDTN (Shreveport Downtown) to KDTO (Denton, TX). Including how to choose an arrival. Will we get the one the filed? If you want to skip the flight plan portion, jump ahead to the 26 minute mark for the flight. Thanks for coming along!

This was a really good video. I’ve seen others where they’ve talked about filing IFR flight plans using ForeFlight, and using past app approved routes. But this is the first time I ever saw somebody do it in real time. Plus, it was cool to see the actual flight planning, filing, and then subsequent flight using Syd flight plan. this is great Contant for those of us who are beginning to embark upon our own training. Take care, and thanks again!

I really like the way you are explaining and narrating. Please continue.

Really appreciated the 1st half of the video going through planning, clearance delivery and taxi! Nice to not have to worry about an alternate 🙂

Very good video!!!!
This is the best start to finish IFR flight I’ve ever seen on YouTube
Keep it up!

I really enjoy this in depth detail of the minutia of a take off with your flight plan and coordination with atc. As someone chasing their PPL I find it very insightful.

I’m not a pilot but was always curious about filing flight plan. Now I know or at least have a better idea. This was very helpful! Thank you!

This is beautiful. Aviation safety at its best right here 😊 Keep them coming

Great video. Love the way you explain the flight plan off Foreflight and putting them into the gps.

Ive been watching you recently and was following along when I heard myself on your video. Bonanza 7476P. Was headed to Longview to drop off a friend. 😂. Keep up the videos!

[johneshoffnerjr]

Keep it up! You are one of the most articulate communicators that I've heard. I appreciate your attention to detail and insight. I am a follower. Thank you.

Dry? I don't think so. The first half of the video (flight briefing and planning) was so informative and the rest was so useful too. Thank you so much for sharing all these details!

In the throes of learning IFR flight, how to work Foreflight and a GTN750 so this was very useful. Keep ‘em coming!

As I'm in the middle of my IFR training, the radio work on this video was amazing and helpful, along with the helpful planning phase at the beginning of the video. Thanks and All the Best!

Great video - as a student pilot, seeing you descending into the clouds made me nervous, but you clearly know what you're doing. Masterful flying, sir !

[richsammons]

Great video! Love the details. Very helpful for some of us starting out with IFR training. Thank you!

[Account-pd]

Agreed with the top comment - awesome to see the whole process start to finish. Hope your channel blows up - this is great content sir.

[benjaminaltwein]

Excellent narration, this really helps us learn real world IFR or at least is a good refresher for best methods. It’s all about the building blocks. No need to excuse it. If your intent is educational content then let it be that. If others want entertainment, let them find it elsewhere. Great video! Keep it up!

[jim]

That was interesting to see the whole process. I think you're smart to stay configured for worst case conditions near the clouds. Thanks for the video!

One of the best full IFR flight videos I’ve seen. Really helped me.

Sold my Cessna 172 a couple of years ago, based at DTO. Thanks for the memories.
