Follow along for my first IFR lesson after a year off…
Proud to be associated with ForeFlight: www.foreflight.com/flightchops/
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.
Part 2 (Flying the ILS) is now LIVE:

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

Great Video! Keep up the good work! I am a CFII. I am working with a friend to get his instrument rating. Bought a VIRB recently and have been experimenting on how to make videos that help the learning process. You've given me some great ideas. I wish I had all of he knowledge you have to make a great presentation like this. What a great tool to show someone before a lesson on holding! These tools make the learning process so much simpler. Saves lots of time in the airplane when you can watch someone else struggle with the process of learning the complexities of holding in wind. Time is money. Thanks again!

In fact I'm commenting from my room in the Arakur Hotel, Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina where I'm taking a much needed vacation. I was on the phone with my daughter who's at Embry-Riddle in Florida. After all the usual dad daughter stuff the first thing she asked was had I seen FlightChops Feb. 5 video. So I just watched it and wow, you and your crew just keep getting better. From a educational stand point this stuff is gold my friend. All I can say is keep them coming and I'm glad you're getting back on track with the IFR work. Great job!

This is AWESOME video. I'm about 20 hours into my IR training, so I felt your pain. Actually, you did a FANTASTIC job for having been off training for a year. Stuff will come back quickly, I'm sure. I can SO relate to the mental overload. One is thinking of so many things at once, but you did a great job of keeping it glued together. I have to say, being an armchair observer, I knew you were going to be in trouble on that inbound turn with a 51 knot wind busting at your tail. But it's exactly stuff like this training that get you to think the next time "Hey I'm gonna have to somehow extend my self on the protected side so I have enough room to make the inbound turn without getting my butt handed to me." I SO want to see part 2. Keep the excellence coming!

@iammrvain 2 жыл бұрын

No not too long at all. I am knee-deep in my instrument training and still struggling with some of the more simple things like a 50knt wind. It’s good to see that somebody else went through the struggles as well and you obviously have received your instrument rating since this was filmed so I to have faith that I will work through these struggles and receive my instrument rating soon. Thank you for all the time and effort you take Making these informative and entertaining videos.

I'm IFR rated/IFR current and loved the video. It brought me back to my instrument training and the feeling of trying to control my brain from exploding all while processing inbound headings, reciprocal headings, offset headings, outbound/inbound times and entry techniques of a hold. Great job for having been away from IFR training so long. Definitely the hardest training I've ever done but incredibly satisfying. Great use of cloud ahoy to help the viewer visualize your course. The production quality is outstanding and I can't wait to watch the second half. Keep up the great work!

My favorite part of the video at about 18:40 your instructor says "Patience Skywalker"!! The editing with CloudAhoy and you matching it cockpit video was a pretty slick idea. It's crazy how much you were blown into the unprotected side of the hold! That wind, man. Once of my saving graces during IFR training was a wrist watch. Even though being in a NAV III cockpit, it was a huge help being able to just glance at my wrist without having to go hunting for the clock. Can’t wait until the next one!

Joshua Reed Haha thanks Joshua - and yes - I used to always wear a watch, and then with the era of smart phones I fell out of the habit... but need to get one again...

@lukegerst2382 9 жыл бұрын

Really awesome video, actually a great resource for me as a CFI-I to watch Dennis train and note the things he says, does, doesn't say, doesn't do, etc. Holds can be tough to teach due to the limited time to communicate such a bulk of knowledge, especially with a strong wind aloft. Excellent job! One tip that I'm sure Dennis mentioned to you in the debrief but wasn't mentioned in the video - try doubling your wind correction angle for the outbound leg. Reference the second lap around, beginning at 15:55. Where you decided to make the 15 degree correction for the outbound (same as inbound), you achieved a track merely parallel to the inbound course. By doubling the wind correction to 30 degrees (265 in this case), you will actually fly farther into the protected side and thus give yourself room to have the massive turn radius on the inbound turn at 17:40 and roll out exactly on the inbound course. Looks like you are having an incredible amount of fun! Best of luck to you! I just found your channel this afternoon and immediately subscribed. Looking forward to more.

@FlightChops 9 жыл бұрын

Luke Gerst Thanks - it is so awesome to hear that CFIs are enjoying my stuff. But do be sure to keep in mind that this video is edited down to under 20 minutes from over 3 hours worth of briefing and in flight training... so many nuances of Dennis' work was likely lost in editing. And as you pointed out, the out bound wind correction tip doesn't come across clearly - thanks for making note of that!

Another enjoyable video. Judging by the number of comments you have generated with this single IFR video I would say you are on to something that so many of us want to experience. As a long time supporter of your work through Patreon I can't wait to see your next video. I truly wish you had enough sponsorship money to allow you to do this full time and keep the videos coming once a week instead of twice a month. I am right around your same level of IFR training and Dennis gave me the same advise as you. We need to have some consistency in our training otherwise what we learn today is easily forgotten by our next lesson. I edited my first GoPro video the other day. I realize you are in that industry but I take my hat off to you. It took me 2 weeks to edit down 2 hours of footage into 20 minutes. It's as basic as basic can be. I feel your efforts whenever you post a new video. Thumbs up to your crew. I realize this is a team effort.

It is really cool that we're sharing the same instructor! maybe we can compare notes, and do some studying for the written together - that is my biggest weakness - I am a poor student when it comes to book work - I've never been good at that. I am using the Areocourse IFR workbook as well as the Air Command Weather manual (and workbook) AND I have a pretty cool App that has a zillion INRAT sample questions - of course that's only useful as an augmentation to book work - not a replacement :)

Awesome video man, I really appreciate what your doing with this channel. I'm currently working on my PPL with about 15 hours so far, Once I plan on getting a tailwheel rating and an instrument rating! This is mainly base on your video, thanks for the quality vieos, I have lots of fun watching them!

Ian Riley Awesome - Thanks Ian! I delayed facing this challenge of shooting IFR for a long time because I knew how much harder it would be to make an immersive / engaging video on the subject... Glad you enjoyed it, and I'll continue to make more.

I love this video, I feel the same way about finishing my private license. Iv'e been out of the loop since 2004 and i feel like I have been out too long. I finally have the ability to finish but i felt like you in this video all discombobulated but on a happy note i have the lady on board and full support which is key. Thank you for making a video where all is not perfect. It makes me fell like im not the only one. #BoseA20

Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos, entertaining and instructive. I got my (french) private few months ago, today my first 180 hp rating and your videos make me think about getting the IR! A 20 minutes video is just perfect, you can tell a lot in this time, as you did in this video! It was great. Hope to see you in the skies :)

I've been taking a hiatus from creating videos because I am actually getting ready for my instrument checkride in May, so seeing these videos about instrument are awesome because I can relate. I hope your training is going well my friend.

I share your pain. I'm a "mature student" as well and finished my Inst ride about a year ago. In the same area (I fly out of the island). You likely know this already, but one thing that helped me a lot with various procedures and figuring out hold entry variations was quite a bit of sim training at home. Once I got that down and was not so much thinking through the procedures, I added some noise with liveatc and toronto terminal in the background. After this type of practice, I found all of the various procedures and com chater much less over whelming.

You asked for feedback regarding the length of the video for the content; No, yer good. I got to the end and you gave a nice cliffhanger effect. I want to see part II. IFR can be difficult to watch dry, but the instruction environment gives it it's own sense of drama and, I will have to assume at some point, resolution. We try and give this sort of contrast in any art form, from writing music to writing novels to cutting film. You always have an element of emotion in your videos that, be it frustration, genuine enthusiasm or unbridled victory and success, is the reason you've been so successful. You're ability to story tell while being the on-camera talent makes me wonder if there's not a possibility of teaming up with your sponsors to produce an actual training series at some point with you as the host working with their qualified instructors. I'm sure Canada is probably similar to the U.S. in regard to having to be careful not to get paid for the flying, but being paid as the film maker and talent shouldn't be a terrible way to get around that while their team of CFI's do the "professional aviation" stuff during filming. Might be a helluva way to finance the channel's future and have you making a good living doing it what you love. I'd buy.

eljuano28 Thanks SO much for this awesome comment! It is very rewarding to hear this sort of thing, confirming that I am succeeding at what I am trying to do - it is a tough balance of engaging story telling while also trying to maintain solid technical content. You are correct regarding the revenue stream model: I am careful to be sure that any time it is even possible that I might be acting as a "film maker" while in flight, I am not PIC - such as in the case of this flight. For other simpler shoots that I do alone, I am a pilot simply running "set it and forget it" GoPros, recording a flight I'd have done regardless, and the footage is primarily for self analysis - if I find something worth sharing upon review, I then snap into "film maker mode" after the fact and pay myself for the editing time. But yes, we do hope to make it bigger and better and get more sponsors on board! Comments like yours are very helpful when pitching sponsors to confirm to them that viewers appreciate what we are doing!

***** We all start somewhere. I found that before I got into aviation, watching more technical-based KZfaq videos was much more engaging than watching some yahoo do wing-overs in a Cirrus. There's already enough fluff, keep it technically engaging and even the stuff that's over folks' heads will challenge them to learn more. Thank you for encouraging intellectual curiosity. : )

The side by side edits with ForeFlight track logs on CloudAhoy and the cockpit footage is great. These are gradually going from good to great. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with hours of suffering through edits and post production BS. Keep it up sir. Well done as usual.

@FlightChops 9 жыл бұрын

Don Abney Haha - yes, hours of suffering is one way of putting how this edit felt... It would have been hard enough even if I hadn't lost the sound on the first flight of which I needed to use footage from. Anyway - the flip side is that it was literally spending hours studying the minutia of that hold - so I'm pretty sure the lesson sunk in :)
