I've got a question for VOR navigation, that I think I know the answer to, but I've been struggling to find a definitive answer. Is there any way to display CDIs for both nav radios at once, either on the PFD or across both PFD and MFD? I don't believe it is, but it seems like such a gross oversight, and I haven't found something stating that for certain yet.

Great video

So, on your side of the pond, you don't use CDFA (Continuous Descent Final Approach)? We do these in Europe with non-precision approaches (2D approaches) with a published distance versus altitude table. On these approach charts (Jepp. plates, LIDO) we see as minimums MDA/DA. And indeed, when allowed by your operator, you can use the minimum as a Decision Altitude (if you follow the table that is!) Increases your chances for a succesful approach (just a tiny bit....). BTW, not during circling apporaches where MDA means MDA.

Where did "BARO" and 740 as minimums come from?

Hm, not using "Vectors to Final"? I don't see a reason why not. Always use it (unless cleared along an arrival route) And yes, G430 unit. BTW. what sim?

I need some rudder pedals for the sim. Twisting on stick isn’t fun. Thanks for the video I’m glad I’m learning this early on.

Could you suggest any free or budget friendly beginner flight simulator softwares which can help trainee pilots who is going to start flying DA 40 Pls?

Which software is this

just curious, so a low density altitude basically has no effect on the performance of the aircraft? correct?

What a perfect timing for this video. Best KZbin channel out there

This was so cool. I really enjoy a video that takes a single concept and cements it by throwing cases at it. So much better than watching 10 approach tutorials hoping that one of them will touch on a specific "what if".

40 hours of instrument training and we've never been allowed to do an approach with full procedure turn at the airports nearby when talking to ATC. They always give us vectors

Hey, Dan. Are you still actively teaching at a college in MD? Is online access to your actual classes offered by the school?

Great video! Thanks!

Wow installing this exact setup right now, perfect timing!!!

Best video on ILS i have ever seen 🎉

Very helpful thank you

Excellent presentation. Thanks

Can you do a version of this with a slightly more modern GPS?? GNX 375 or GTN 650 perhaps? And illustrate using the knobs on the GPS? I find that easier. Thanks!

Save for a different GPS, this is my setup. LOVE the GFC500. As a VFR pilot (for now) It’s a game-changer in busy, controlled airspace. Set it to HDG mode, twist to your instructed headings & turns… it’s a thing of beauty.

I'm having a GFC 500 installed this winter and will then have this exact setup. I also got my sim (x wing 11) set with the same equipment so I can practice at home. You should get an x wing setup for your video making.

Hoenstly, if you have G5's with a GFC500, you'll do all the knob work on the GFC500. I don't think I ever touch the knobs on the G5's except for the baro on the AI.

I also like to keep my throttle friction lock very loose so I can add/subtract some power if needed with using just a little finesse. Just my opinion. Just a little technique that I like to use that I find helpful. But probably most of you guys know that...

Start your roundout and your flare as to arrive at a power off stall attitude with power to idle just before touchdown.

I’m only working on my private pilot at this time but my training 172s have dual G5s so it’s best to get a jump on them.

Bro, I can barely type that fast. How do you write it all down?! I have a bluetooth folding keyboard. Might end up using it

Who can afford a brand new GFC-500 autopilot but is still using a 430? lol (I'm poor, still have 430/530w so I appreciate the content 👍)

I fly a cherokee that has a 430, one G5, and a standby attitude indicator vs 2 G5s. I handfly all my IFR flights which is tiring. I would love 2 G5s in the aircraft

I can hardly believe you just posted instructions using the same avionics and airport I hope to do instrument training in next year. Going to look at this one more than once!

How do you know to make/release videos that are always interesting and so applicable to where I am in flying? Mind reader i swear

Top lesson...

Very very informative channel 😁

Best explained, just brilliant.... 👍😊

Great video. I fly a plane with G5s and same autopilot. I find using the heading and altitude knobs on the autopilot to set heading and altitude bug much easier than knobs on G5 units.

just got home after enrolling for the instrument course at my flight school where the entire 172 fleet is dual G5 and then I come home to see this gem posted

Thanks for making this video short. I'm running out of fuel.

I understand this is video about G5 and that's maybe the reason you are using knobs on G5, but I find it much easier to use HDG and ALT knobs on the autopilot instead of G5s.

Cool to see you’re teaming up with Todd.

The timing of this video is perfect. This helps for my cfii checkride. Thanks!

I had to go to the comments to get how to use the TAS knob. It wasn't obvious that you had to find "15 °C" at the top scale and then align it with the difference.

You have very nice videos, this one is NOT a good one. You are talking too fast and even slowing the video it is hard to follow. (And just for info, not to brag.... I am looking for help) I already passed the Instrument Exam, have flown all the requirements but a long lapse of time has passed. I did not use an airplane with the HSI and would like to master it. Please reconsider reevaluating this topic and make it simpler. and I am a retired Math and Science Professor.....Thank you.

Your videos are awesome! Thank You!

Yea this is what I was looking for. Will atc give any type of missed approach instructions before approving freq change to ctaf or do they automatically expect you to fly the published missed and to contact them on the same freq?

If it bounces you can log 2 landings🤣🤣

Very informative. I wish you would have cancelled ifr on the ground as if you were flying imc to minimums so we could get an idea of what to expect from atc as far as phraseology when it comes to executing a missed approach instructions. Do you have any videos illustrating this?

I've been an instrument Examiner for 10 years and have been telling pilots to read the rest of this sentence! .....pilots may not use this approach as an alternate DUE TO...... Glad you're spreading the info 👍🏼

Have a question for situation like this. You say the plate shows to fly heading 301 to X intersection... isn't there a problem with flying heading vs tracks in this situation especially if you are in the clouds, what if there is a strong cross wind that blows you into unsafe areas, your heading bug still how's 301 but you aren't going that direction. Always find this weird if they say fly heading and not track unless you are being controlled by ATC as they can vector you as needed etc.

Why don't they just make runways a half mile wide? Problem solved 😁😁

I feel like I owe you money for watching this
