Basic Instrument Flying | EASA & UK Instrument Rating

In this first video, we look at flying straight & level, climbing, descending and turning on full panel instruments.
For everything you need to pass your EASA or UK Instrument Rating, see our online course at www.ClearFlight.co.uk

You make the best and clarifying videos. Please don't stop and thank you!

[@jakew9887]

Excellent presentation. Thanks

[@ClearFlight1]

Thank you!

Finally somebody talks about this fundamentals. My technique is different in terms of time per value and time to the next secondary instrument check. Much more rapid and frequent in all phases of flight.

[@nigelbellamy5798]

Thanks for the clarification. I was confused between Bank Angle and Turn Rate. Great to know you are monitoring comments and able to respond so quickly.

[@CKM1109]

Great! Wish it was done on steam guages though

Had my first ir simulation yesterday the instructor started yelling at me for not holding the altitude at 6000 😂 without even showme how to basic monitor the instruments thanks for this video ❤

[@ClearFlight1]

It's a shame that there are instructors like this, especially when there are fantastic instructors and schools out there. If your training continues like that, I suggest you talk to the Head of Training and politely request a different instructor. Best of luck and feel free to ask me any questions along the way!

@ClearFlight1 yeah was gonna do that infact I had second simulator class today and she didn't show up 😭

[@willversa]

​@ClearFlight1 thanks again ❤

At 11.10 and often, but not always thereafter, the highlight of the scan target shows heading when the commentary states turn rate. Ideally this will be fixed, but if not go by the commentary rather than the visual highlight.

[@ClearFlight1]

Hi, thanks for the comment. The turn rate indication on the G1000 is the small magenta bar that extends left/right from the heading indicator, which is what we're trying to highlight when saying "turn rate". Unfortunately, it's difficult to highlight the turn rate indicator on its own without making our highlighting so small it becomes impossible to see. Hope that makes sense!

Great video. Now imagine doing this being kicked about by turbulence with instruments that wave all over the place as well as an aircraft which isn't stable in roll i.e. wants to bank right or left depending on load and its very very difficult and at first seems impossible.

What turn rate should you be looking for when in the standard rate turn, even though you highlighted where to look on the hsi as you were turning, I wasn't sure what the turn rate should be.

[@ClearFlight1]

During instrument flight, turns are typically flown at what's known as "Rate 1", which is 3° per second or 2 minutes to complete a 360° turn. Hope that helps!

@@ClearFlight1 What I didn't see at first was the magenta turn rate line. I didn't notice it at first. Thanks for your response.
