Task Saturation and Brain Mush! IFR flying after a year off…

Massive thanks to Dennis for being willing to take part in our film making adventures…
He's an awesome instructor and I struggle to edit his lessons, as the material is non stop awesomeness! So, with that in mind, I've taken material from over 3 hours worth of briefings and flight training and cut it down to under 20 minutes…
I did my best to maintain the essence of the training; however, it is unavoidable, that some context has been lost in editing.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive

This video is an excellent demonstration for what it's like to be so darn busy that you literally can't think. It is good for other pilots to see that it is perfectly normal for a student to be task saturated because instrument flying can be intimidating. I remember if I ever had a quiet moment in the cockpit my instructor would ask me "Is there anything else you can think of?" Nine out of ten times there was. Keep it up!!!

Part of the lesson did not turn out just right for you, yet you are willing to share. It is what I love about your channel.

this is a great illustration with aviation's "catch 22", theres all these wonderful new gadgety tools student and amateur pilots have at their disposal to make flying so much safer, the other side of it is once you become so reliant on those tools, once they malfunction you end up much less safe of a flyer to yourself and everyone under and around you.

That was an awesome video. The winds you were dealing with blew my mind. I am a private VFR pilot. I am in the FAAwings program. So I fly with a flight instructor about every 2 months. The last time I flew he told me we will do everything IFR. Yikes! The ceilings were marginal. SO. It was a great introduction in flying the needles in a real airplane in clouds and shooting an approach at a non towered airport (KMJG) and at a towered airport (KSWF). My instructor walked me through the briefing and flight plan and handled all the radios. Still just flying was a mind bender. Saturation indeed. But fun and enlightening. IFR. The real meat of flying. Anyway, I hope you continue your IFR training. Your vids will sure help me and others who are just thinking about it. It's a whole nother level of control. Great challenge. Be well and be safe.

While you are wise to post your disclaimer about this not being instructional, for already rated pilots this is such a blessing to see.

Never got my instrument rating but I am so thankful that my cfii gave me 15 hours of under the hood training before i did my private pilot test and then flew a 150 cross country from new York to vero beach. Instrument training definitely taxes the brain while flying. Had to shoot my first ILS approach during that flight into Orlando. I was wiped out and exhausted. That's another story for a different time. Love your videos and Stevo1's too.

I love watching these videos I always pick something up that helps with my approaches. I have about 17 hours in a Cessna 206 I just bought. It has the Aspen pro 1000 and the Avidyne 540 in it. It's a handful to fly single pilot IFR in a new plane with new equipment in it. Although I have over 25,000 hours total and four type ratings Dc8,737,DA2000 and c560xls. I sometimes feel like I only have a private pilot license and it's easy to screw something up without another crew member to help you if you miss something. Keep up the good videos thanks.

I was lucky to have some awesome instructors during my PPL training, picked up instrument flying within the first hour to PPL flight test standards. Need 5 hrs for PPL licence requirements, so had an extra 4 hours to practice precision approaches. Spoke with other students who had instructors who literally spent the whole 5 hrs doing nothing but the standard rate turn 1 min, 2 min straight/level, standard rate 1 min flight test item, and some very basic VOR work. Familiarity withILS regardless of being non instrument rated is a huge safety benefit I think. Last year there was a student pilot in the states who had an oil leak onto the windshield totally obstructing his forward visibility during a daytime VFR flight. He managed to get down safely with the help of ATC and his instruments. Pretty impressive for a student pilot to pull off a instrument landing right down to runway altitude.

Another great video... I experienced that same "mush mind" recently on a lesson with my instructor. Just thirty minutes away from home base under the hood tracking a VOR and then coming off the hood as we passed midfield of an airport that I've never landed at before. I knew what I needed to do to land the airplane but I found myself having to almost talk myself through the procedures. I'll be taking my check ride soon for my PPL then I'll be going right into Instrument training.

Great video as always! Task Saturation is a real threat, best thing you can do to avoid it is to plan ahead! I know it isn't always possible, especially when doing training with back-to-back approaches; but whenever possible it really helps to get your approach briefing done early while still in the enroute phase. My instructors taught me that while on instruments, except during the approach, you should always be thinking "is there something I could be doing right now?" Good luck with training! :)

I recently started my instrument training also. I hope you don't mind if I add my 2 cents. Brief the approach at least 20 miles from the airport, (when you do your approach checklist) instead of while holding. (also get weather) Always check the lights, even if you only plan to fly during the day. If your flight is delayed and you have no lights, cancel. Take off the sunglasses when going visual at night! Finally 51 knots wind is insane! The most I've been in was 25, and I felt like I was going sideways, I probably couldn't hold the localizer with 51 knots either! Best of luck with your training and fly safe! EDIT: I originally thought this video was uploaded in Feb 16.... So I guess you're done with your training now!

Doing my IR at CYTZ currently. I flew this similar route yesterday! Held at the ZHA beacon and shot the ILS 12 and then on the missed we did the full procedure for the the Localizer/NDB 30! Nice work

Nice video. I'm working on my IFR rating (passed written about 8 months ago and have done 3 lessons or so), and I say the same thing after my lessons, that my brain feels like mush and I'm totally drained. Seems like IFR really taxes the brain, but in a good way, kind of similar to the way I feel after running a race. Thanks again for the great IFR training video and hope to see more to help inspire me on my journey to the IFR rating.

Great video - very interesting and well presented. Your instructor is so chilled, nothing seems to phase him lol. In my early days of flying, on a cross country, I thought I was doing so well as my instructor was very quiet/chilled. After a while of silence I turned to look at him - he was fast asleep and slavering down his shoulder. I woke him up and he said 'just get us home' and then went back to sleep :-)

Being in the middle of my IFR training in college I can defiantly say from experience that everything happens quickly, and if your not prepared and on top of your game you can get behind the airplane really quickly. Even through the hard parts of IFR flight it's so worth it!!! #BoseA20

Hey man, great video! Would love to see more of IFR training and how it´s going along. A trick that I learned form my instructor was that if you got a wind correction from the left on your inbound leg, you double that wind correction for the outbound leg, and if you got wind correction from right on your inbound leg, you tipple that wind correction for the outbound leg. And by using that you should be able to either join the localizer or start another inbound leg with a standard turn without flying out of the designated safety area. Hope that it will help :)

I just finished my fourth lesson and on my last landing I Porpoised down the runway like crazy. My instructor called it a "four hopper". I just could not get the damn thing down on the runway! But we were also landing into a 27 knot headwind (gusting) and that had something to do with it as well. I cannot wait to go "under the hood". But it is an expensive hobby. The iPad for all the charts is my next purchase. And a hand held aviation radio.

Really liking the IFR videos! Also I thought I might add that I received my Flight Chops patches in the mail yesterday for being a Patreon supporter and there are even better than they looked online! Definitely going on the flight bag today. It took me about 5 minutes to build up the courage to open the Canadian stamped letter with no return address and a printed and taped on sending address though... I halfway expected anthrax or a ransome note! But Flight Chops patches are definitely better than anthrax, so in hindsight it was definitely worth the risk. Keep the videos coming!

Feeling the intensity of the training in this video. It immediately reminded me of my VFR training days. Especially the part about task saturation. Oh man. There were times when the instructor would talk and it would feel like he's just hurling instructions at me at the speed of sound. I remember thinking in those moments: "I don't know what you're talking about dude". It's also amazing how with enough practice, any complex skill (or set of interrelated of skills) can be acquired and then re-used with much less brain overload. So that leaves room for other things during a flight. I find the more I fly, the better the enjoyment I am able to get out of each flight, simply because I'm able to carry out my flight duties safely with more easy (I am a low hours pilot). Of course, though, it is important to remember that no flight is routine, as you often stress in your videos. I think most people outside of the aviation circles underestimate the amount of discipline it takes to acquire and then to maintain proficiency in flying. Aviation shows on TV don't help educate people in that regard. All they really convey is how seemingly dangerous and perilous flying is. Except maybe for the The Aviators show. But it's not mainstream enough. Unless I'm mistaken. Anyway. Keep them coming. Your videos always get me all pumped up for flying.

Thanks for sharing this video - takes a lot of guts to post videos for a large audience when things are a "mess" as you described it at one point. In training, the whole point is to force you into lots of task saturation points - but in a real environment, as you probably already know, you'd be brieifing that approach when you're 20 miles away from the airport, giving you a lot more time to focus on flying near the airport. Once you master this (and you will), you will know you're ready.

mmharrin Thanks! and fore sure - I know training is ultimately harder than the rel IFR world for the most part... And yes, part of the point of these videos was to get me task saturated fast - it helped that I was also essentially acting as a film maker at the same time :P I make sure not to think about shooting when I am PIC - it's set it and forget it GoPros and if a friend is with me shooting - he get's what he get's and I don't think about that.

Transitioned to a C152 (flew a 172 in both PPL and IFR training) for the first time for my Commercial training the other night, and my first time in the airplane was in the dark (night lesson) and the landing light burned out on us eve after checking it on the pre-flight (and of course, no taxi light on the 152). So that's one way to learn how to fly a new airplane, land at night with no lights lol. We were literally using a flashlight to taxi because the taxi lights were blocked by snow. Sometimes I wished I filmed my flights xD. That Sony camera is a beast!
