How pilots find & land on runways when it's cloudy!

So you're looking out the window of the airline flight you're on. All you see are clouds and more clouds. Then, suddenly, the ground appears. Shortly thereafter, you see the airport and feel the touchdown of the wheels.

But wait... how did that airline pilot find the airport or even the right runway when the view out the window is nothing but clouds?

It's called the Instrument Approach and in this video I'll put you in the cockpit with me as we do an instrument approach into the Shreveport Downtown Airport in Shreveport, Louisiana.

I'll explain what I am seeing in the cockpit that is helping to guide me down to the runway.

*** DISCLAIMER : I am not a flight instructor. I'm just sharing my experience and highly recommend that pilots consult with their flight instructors for detailed instruction on how to fly instrument approaches ***
