I'm retired air carrier pilot, and haven't flown anything in six years, and then just an IPC (1.7 hrs). Last real world flight was 2011. I'm buying a Piper Lance, and so am getting myself prepped for a BFR / IPC ride. Used your video for practice. Copied all clearances and ATC instructions, then pulled up charts & worked out clearance for situational awareness. Had LVK 25 ILS on one side of screen...your video on the other side. Really helped. Your a top notch instructor, and your videos are outstanding. On the ILS, I was squirming watching the glide slope indicator consistently showing "fly down". With the in trail Kingair eating you up, I was yelling at the screen, "trade your altitude for some extra speed...kill two birds with one stone". I'm tired...I'm taking a break.

Most IFR related videos don't show from beginning to end. It's really helpful to see the whole process.

Officially instrument Rated as of yesterday at 1pm at KAHN

Wow! I didn’t know how serious Jason could be. Great IFR flight. It was so cool to finally meet you at Livermore.

I figured this trip was around 400 miles with all that clearance information. Then you said 14 miles, gave me a good laugh.

Jason's always pushing out the best videos on the tube!! Takes a ton of patience to fly all day, come back to the office, sit in front of Adobe Premier and start chopping footage. Huge thanks for all of the free information!

Jason more than makes up for every crappy instructor I ever had. Nothing better than a teacher who loves what they do. Thanks for the great video.

This was a very helpful video! Seeing an IFR flight done in "real time" was enlightening. Currently I am working on instrument and so far the radio calls/ picking up clearances are the most challenging part. I am working on approaches and those are also tricky. Thank you for the video!

Excellent. Beautiful job Jason. My hat's off to you.

Top notch instructing! Feeling inspired to go get my IFR

Great to watch the whole flight! Thanks, Jason! 👍👍

Outstanding. I can highly recommend Flying Again. I really enjoyed watching it and it was part of keeping me motivated to get back in the air.

Thx Jason, almost at IFR ✅ ride. Home KLVK, classic summer morning in the Bay Area. Met you with my Grandson at AOPA event. He carries the PPL book you gave him all over 😊

Absolutely loved this. Thank you for sharing. Renewed my motivation to get my IR.

LOVE IT!!! 23MZ WAS AT MY HOME AIRPORT IN HWD!! WHAT AN HONOR! THANK YOU JASON FOR THE GREAT VID AND WAS GREAT MEETING U AT AOPA!!

Nice job Jason, my home airport KHWD. It was great meeting you at the AOPA event in KLVK. You had your game face on and for good reason it can get a bit intense here in the Bay Area. I’ve rarely heard NorCal so quiet on departure. On a busy time we are dancing with big stuff going into KOAK south and biz jets into KOAK south. Keeps everyone sharp.

I did most of my instrument training out of Hayward. 400 ft Left 170 radar vectors is standard. Brought nice memories. Also flew the 25 Rnav into KLVK many times during my training. I now live in NC. Brought back great memories. Actually met you at the AOPA Livermore fly-in.

Great video as always and as always, I learned something new. Great work!

Your flight is pretty much my flight every weekend from HWD to LVK and other local airports every weekend. My home base is HWD and I fly all over this beautiful Bay Area every weekend. It was good to see you again at the fly-in a few weeks ago!

Good video. I listened on my phone and used my iPad to plan along, scratchpad for atis, clr, and a running log of atc. It was fun. Keep them coming!

Beautiful panel. Great flight!

Great video! Can't wait to start my ifr training! Thank you to all who put this vid together. Take care and Merry Christmas!

Great video Jason!

Great video. Love the actual IFR videos. I was going to say it would have been nice to have the panel shot more often, but then near the end it appeared you realized it wasn't on. :)

Great job Wayne. Miss seeing you at X60.

Awesome video! Thank you!

I haven't watched the flight yet, but that clearance is basically "vectors around traffic to livermore but we might make you intercept v244 somewhere so have that loaded" The most difficult first time clearance in the bay area is IFR out of San Carlos, after you do it once it makes sense and its easy, but when they spit it out to you and you haven't heard it before it is overwhelming.

I'm glad we met at the LVK fly-in. I love that in-panel iPad mount that you have. Also, welcome to my world in the Bay Area. Those are the typical clearances to stay out of the major traffic to SFO, SJC, & OAK. One advantage of flying here -- either VFR or IFR -- is that it really builds radio confidence. BTW, I hope you had a chance to fly the Bay Tour whilst you were here.

Jas, get them to bug the heading on the ILS, then they can just make small adjustments and have a good reference.

so crazy, just flew up to hayward from socal yesterday and did the ILS into livermore beforehand.

Awesome video Jason. Sometimes I miss CA!!

Nice ! Did my private check ride out of Hayward (flew in the day before to get in before the clouds) and all my training out of Livermore :)

Met you at the AOPA event. You guys flew right over my house! If I would've known you were coming out I could have put out a sign for ya!

NIce video JasOn i would love to see you doing a land on the left seat.

For a beginner like myself, the ground controller was precise with a normal and slow instructions that even a student pilot can easily write . I did get a chance to meet Jason at the Aopa , He was engaging and helpful with every one that he greeted ..

Nice job !

Great video

both my home airports!

Great video. Saw your presentation at Osh. You mentioned that the student learns to the level of instruction given.I noticed on your read backs on altitude. Climb to...descend ...to. Were are beaten up for doing this as “to” and “for”can be confusing with respect to altitude read back.

Another great video Jason. Did you not expect to have the 39knt crosswind when you got to altitude?

also nice to hear jason make a call to someone other than williston traffic 😂

Wow, I fly at Livermore and my Private pilot checkride is this Sunday!

It would help if the panel can be shown as part of the video.

Nice video. It would be great to have a split view showing the panel simultaneously.

Wait a minute, you really flown this airplane from FL all the way to CA ???

@MzeroA What are you doing in Cali? I thought you were based out of Florida.

Need one of those sweaters

I'm learning fast that imc is the toughest part of flying. Especially doing it single pilot.

I recognize that place.....

I have a stupid question but i'm new to instrument training, once ATC gives you radar vectors are you responsible for maintaining obstruction clearance or does ATC have to give you a safe altitude to avoid obstructions?

Ref. the sunglasses, what did you think was going to happen when you got on top?...hope I ain’t fired as a prospective instrument rating stoont

i feel like Wayne should be talking out what hes thinking and doing. for himself and for Jason. when i fly by myself i still talk out what im doing and thinking. mostly bc of habit but i think it also helps

Show us the instrument panel during the flight.

FlipFlops, Shorts and SweatShirts.... Doesn't get any better than that.

IFR Student?

I know it’s 4 years go, but, man, that front tire looks extremely low…

P.I.C's neck seems broken. Once out of the clouds look around and enjoy the sites. Not, a mean comment.

I'm sorry that your plane got bent
