Consider Subscribing and Fly Along! Took over 25 minuets to get my clearance at Orange County (MGJ) Frequency and phone number was down. This is my 1st Hard IFR flight to Columbia County (1B1) with no autopilot. Lots going on at once. Be ahead of your plane. I had a great learning experience on this flight. Thanks for Flying Along!

Calling the FSS number listed in Foreflight might get some movement on the clearance delivery. I imagine the FSS can contact approach control to alert them to the issue. Just discovered your channel and working on IFR currency. Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. It's how things go sometimes.

@mkrakoff 2 жыл бұрын

Quick thought. You can try to call before engine start on the phone for a "hold for release" clearance, ready in say ~20 mins.. At least in that scenario you'd know if anyone will answer before you start burning fuel! (of course that doesn't change the problem of being at the end of the runway and still needing someone to answer AGAIN.)

Nice job for a couple of IFR flights under your belt. Having no autopilot does add some stress and you handle things well. Keep filing and things will come to you so much easier over time. Thank you for sharing and I ordered a couple of shirts. Nice website

@aviatortrucker6285 Жыл бұрын

If you can takeoff and remain VFR you can request your clearance in route. It’s called picking up an IFR in route. You could probably reach ARTCC or the nearest approach on the radio if you are high enough. I have taken off from airports that have no way of reaching approach or have a clearance delivery, but I remained VFR until I was able to pick up my IFR clearance.

@PilotFun101 Жыл бұрын

Very true. But it was pretty low ceilings all around so I couldn’t stay VFR unfortunately.

@mcotherman5957 2 жыл бұрын

Woohoo! You got your IFR ticket. Congrats! Get to really use all those pretty things in your cockpit now. Getting that ticket really does improve your skills. I HATE calling those phone numbers! It takes forever! I guess KZfaq hasn't been sending notices to me about videos...

@PilotFun101 I don't mind flying through the layers to get on top but when imc for too long its gets a bit much. maybe I'll get over the anxiety of it once I build more hrs. I had zero imc time while training(just the foggles). 😄

Are you using Seattle Avionics charts for your Dynon and what's the right file structure/formation for them to be found by your HDX?

Yes I am. Any thump drive should work.

@crooked-halo 11 ай бұрын

Is a GPS the same as an RNAV approach? I noticed he cleared you for the "GPS RWY 03 approach" and you read back "RNAV 03 approach." He _butchered_ your N number with "N466688N" a couple of times! I guess if you know you're being spoken to there's no need to correct a busy approach controller on something minor, correct? I'm getting back in the cockpit after 20 years. Watching your _excellent_ videos for a bit of learning before I start re-training for a biennial flight review and instrument competency check in the distant future! Well, hopefully not _too_ distant!

I don’t have my IR, so don’t know if this would work, but could you have called the FSS number and maybe they could have found you an alternative phone number for clearance? I know they don’t relay clearances anymore.

Yea. That’s why I decided to call another airports clearance phone number.

Interesting that you missed the holding instruction the first time it was given. Or, did you hear it but was trying to figure out what to do before readback? I couldn't see what you were doing between the two times he gave the instruction,

@PilotFun101 2 жыл бұрын

I actually missed it. When I was editing the video I realized I missed it. Then the other guy was transmitting right after. I have to listen a little closer next time.

It’s called Localiser Performance with Vertical Guidance. In stead of step downs you follow your glide path (vertical guidance)
