I enjoy your videos I have been a licensed pilot for 37 years now took a break got another plane a Comanche I love that plane believe it or not after all this time I am working on my instrument rating passed the written now the real work begins keep up the good videos and thank you for your training and advice

Thanks for the great content always!

Absolutely love the long videos!!!!

Great video, Jason. Thank you for such a detailed approach and taking us for the whole ride.

It was awesome meeting you and your team at the AOPA fly in at Fredrick. Another great video. Thanks!

Thank you! Great IFR video. Please keep the IFR VIDEOS COMING! JC

Jason, that was awesome. Literally exactly what I am training right now myself.

It’s boss how you taxi and promote simultaneously. Love it.

Great video for those of us working on our ifr!!! Thank you

That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for another great video. I didn't mind the length.

Great video Jason. Especially for us non IFR pilots.

Loved this particular video!! Pretty much the whole thing: departure - en route - approach and landing!! Taking my Instrument checkride in a few weeks, and this was a GREAT refresher!! And a good deal of ACTUAL IMC too! As students, sometimes we don't get much of a break from the foggles during training! 😂

Just starting my PP IFR rating - videos are a great real-world help. I love the real-world demonstrations.

Hi Jason I’m very excited today because I did my first solo flight and I appreciate your ground school and podcast they all help thank you and I’ll continue being a ground school member best investment I’ve done ✅

Have done 5 circling approaches in 30 years of flying, good review, thanks!

I did my IFR training back in the 80's with a knee pad, stop watch and the Jeppesen books. Been out of flying for 20 years. Very different now with the GPS. Like the way you are teaching the basics (stay ahead and slow down). I got a lot to catch-up on. Should be fun to start learning again . Thanks for sharing

You are an awesome instructor. Great video.

Going for the ride tomorrow for my instrument ticket; perfect timing!

Jason puts out a nice training video again. Bravo. Thank you for great vids.

Exquisite … Jason, you just keep getting better!

Great video. This type of video really helps bring the IFR pieces together for me.

Enjoyed the full length video!

Thank you so much for explaining everything you’re doing it is so helpful. I’m going to ATP in AZ in July and all of your videos are inspiring me so much to accomplish what I have ahead of me

Good flight. Thanks for the take along. Understanding the necessity of in-flight surface controls management and configuration.

Hi Jason, just have opportunity watching this great video. Helped a lot getting a good understanding of this approach procedures. It is Inspiration for IFR rating . Thank you.

Love the IFR videos.

Another great video Jason. Love your teaching style

Great Video. Thank you 🙏

Another great video. Thank you.

I love the brief/ fly video format.

That was a great video and a great explanation. ¡congratulations!

Two things: You started out with a 180 heading for AMBAC. It was a good first bite at the apple. But ATC gave you the direct the fix a second time because you did not refine your heading for a long time. He wasn't mad, just confused as to why you did not tweak your heading to something like a 210 degree heading sooner. Second; ATC always instructs you to "IDENT" when you call them on departure. You pre-emptively started IDENTing before you called them. (You may have seen this on another video.) However, they expect you to IDENT they give you the instruction to IDENT. This is part of the process of RADAR identification. If you IDENT before they tell you to, it is technically not the process. Even though you know they will be telling you to IDENT as soon as you call them, IDENTing before they tell you to does not qualify as responding to their direction to IDENT. This is why the controller sounded confused, befuddled or verklempt. He knows you are not complying with an ATC verification process. You mean well, but you are stepping outside the boundary line. An alternative to this would be to refine your wording and say, "N23MZ is one mile southwest of Ocala Airport leaving eight hundred feet." This is in compliance with position verification phraseology. Or you could just wait for them to tell you to IDENT to play along with the process. Quarantine-while, you are a good pilot and this is a great video.

NICE SMOOTH TD! A+! 🇨🇦

You're coming along quite well Jason. Nice work.

Nice video. Just keep in mind that ATC wanted you to fly direct to AMBEC from your present position. There was no need to self vector you arround to the IAF. Probably that explains the second ATC call with the same clearance again as he saw you are not directly inbound to AMBEC.

amazing video, thank you very much.

You have a real gift

Very nice instrument video. Thank you!

I love "real-world" flying that you provide in these videos. Thanks to you, my instrument knowledge test has been passed and now for the fun part.....flying in my homebuilt RV-7!

I've never thought about adding flaps in before intercepting glide slope. Interesting!

Great lesson, Thanks

Great video loved it very helpful

The teaching phrase "self-vector" lends itself to huge misconception of the direct clearance. It would concern me that a pilot would interpret that as an "own navigation" clearance to go over a fix. Here's a scenario. I'm sequencing over a fix, and have a King Air that is behind you but will precede you over that fix. I vector you off to one side, and give you direct when I see the King Air will slip past you nicely. If a pilot takes that as a self vector, that will be eventually confused as "own navigation". You turn 90 degrees into the path of the King Air for weather or whatever. Then you get a number from ATC that won't fit in the transponder or comm panel. My two cents as a 27 year ATC vet and pilot.

Such and awesome and informative video. I am frustrated with my landings.... I’ll get there. I am only 15hrs into air time, but putting 6 in a week now. Definitely looking into the ground course. Keep it up! And, thanks!!

Great help! Thanks!

Perfect intro to my training! Thx

Nicely done!

Great video 👍

awesome!!!

Best video yet! Thank you so very much I owe you a nice cold glass of coke a cola!!! Please keep the long videos coming (steveo1kinevo) style hahahah

Loved it!

Great video. I always enjoy watching a full approach video. They really help me being a newly minted IR pilot, even better you threw in an approach you had to do a circle to land. I have had an IFD440 in my plane for two years now and the IFD100 for just over a year and I would say you are missing out on a few things you could set your 540 for IFR flying. Set up and use the Data blocks. I know you are sponsored by ForeFlight so I would use your in panel iPad as your ForeFlight view and install IFD100 on your knee pad. If you like having back up or more situational awareness you can’t go wrong.

It's difficult to admit, especially as a CFI and ATP, that for so long you were wrong. It's tough for all of us. Speaking as a CFI (since 1981) and ATP S&MEL (since 1983) and M.Ed, its tough for me too. However, I DO! As CFIs we need to demonstrate the behaviors we hope to pass on to our learners. Thank you for your clarity, honesty, and guts. Vis con Dios and Merry Christmas.

Well done

Got my helicopter IFR, but never did circling approach, very nice video!

Thanks, Jason. Yesterday I shot a VOR approach and found out my OBS was miscalibrated approximately 180 degrees after a recent radio repair. The shop walked me through the calibration via phone, but it was a good example why we should practice IFR procedures in VMC.

Every time I watch your IFR videos, I'm motivated to finish what I began and quit. If you had been my original CFII, my guess is that I would have an IFR rating years ago. Thank you for your outstanding work!

GREAT Thanks......

THANK YOU!!!

Very nice

Good Jason. Coming to your school

good job

Excellent video, keep up the great work!

good length video (personally, I wait for the IF before configuring, not the IAF)

Nice

It's like the Bob Ross of flying!

Great work Jason......as always. But I was hoping I would see close-ups of the instrument indications at different stages of the approach, vs the approach plate on your ipad. I also wanted to see how your autopilot was performing and showing on its displays.

Love your videos you should invite steveo in pne

yeah, I liked it....

@mzeroa flight training You produce Great Video. Sound demonstration. Solid reminders for some of us already rated. A great service. I’m just curious, at 1000’ MSL, why did your avionics announce, “Altitude Alert?” You seemed on the correct altitude, on glide slope, and substantially above 500’ AGL.

Sir. Thanks. You got something against a mic switch on the yoke?

I already pointed out Jason's error by not going direct to AMBAC. Now I don't know about an Avidyne, but had this been a Garmin 430/530/650/750 he should have had the approach loaded with the AMBAC transition. Then just activated the approach when he got the "direct to" from the controller. You can't just self vector around the sky. 😳

Did a crazy circle to land to JFK on my 737 ride...white knuckles but nailed it!

Love you videos Jason...I’m into my instrument training now and thinking of combining it with the commercial rating...my flight school says I can save money doing this....what’s your opinion on doing this?

I have been cramped up during the day Sir, GPS Approach is big, We need more as beginners and more Scanning Sir.How is America. From Ghana.

The externally mounted camera doesn't mess up the airflow around the wing?

You were holding that poor guy up that was trying to take off from 18 :( Even ATC was like “3MZ where are you at? My grandma flys faster that you...” ;) haha Awesome vid brother man! Blue sky’s!

Thanks for the video. When the tower gave you the instruction to call approach you said something to the effect “going to call approach with an ident.” What ident were you referring to. Thanks

Thanks again Jason grate video I want to make and appointment to meet and talk about training in your school

It's crazy how much slower a 172 is than the Piper Lance 2 we fly.... I suppose watching instead of doing adds to that as well lol

Closing the Florida air conditioning... I get that now that I just moved here 🤣

Excellent presentation. Off topic: what video editing software are you using? Very smooth and aspect appropriate edits.

Thank you Jason. I have seen many other circle to land videos but for some reasons no one ever mentioned the 1.3NM regulation. Is it something not strictly enforced?

have not finished watching yet, but so far I love it. Hey, how does one know that I can get vertical guidance on my GArmin 430W?

Have enjoyed your brief videos on KZfaq . I guess, I am considered one of those " rusty pilots" so rusty infact, I probably need a can of 1040 when I go flying. That being said, I didn't see the link for your instrument ground school. That you were referring to. I believe, this is the best way to get a refresher IFR, and bring myself up to speed, before actual flying phase of it. That being said, what is the cost of your on line instrument coarse, and duration. Thank you. Cyrous Khavari

Hi Jason...is it customary (especially if IFR training) to ask for an approach to the opposite runway in use......great video(real life IFR flying) oh and Steveo sent me :-).....

Do you have a detailed listing of everything you have on that panel of yours? Who did the work? It's sure pretty. That would be the layout that I'd go with if I can ever pull the trigger on a plane. Thanks.

There was a crash @ Gillespie (San Diego) circle to land instrument approach Lear 35. Any thoughts?

just curious Jason, Why do you not fly from the left seat?? That is the PIC seat, correct??

Controller told you to circle west which put you in a right base.

Maybe it’s only me but, why you always seat in the right side even if you are the only person inside the aircraft ?

This is the most advanced Cessna ever

Teaching from the right seat and flying an approach solo without autopilot is skill level 10,000. - It’s enough of a challenge just flying it solo.

Nice work, but I have a question. Didn't the tower controller ask you to report 5 miles before or at the fix. I noticed he called you up to ask where you were and you told him you were 2 miles out. Just wondering that??

What a greaser!

Low MAP 500 agl circling.. Good practice.. Some circling's are only 300 agl and legal. Dont do them under 500 agl if not used to low maneuvering turns at approach speed. Specially with strong winds, they have killed many experienced pilots on high maneuvering mostly- but low time in low maneuvering.. Low GRM is a different kind of maneuvering than high altitude maneuvering. Be careful who you fly with. Many are not used to Low GRM and crash trying it.

What is the reason for him doing a circle and when I see that on the approach plates what does that mean?

why did you start your circle west at 500AGL? could you choose to do that at 1000AGL, or did you have to do it at 500AGL? also this type of approach is only done to save a bit of time on your flight correct, there is no other reason to do a circle to land approach is there?

*Flight Sim players finding this video a year later watching 3x trying to learn IFR for a video game*

Why did you ident without request from departure?
