I’m a ii and I still come back to these videos. I say that to thank you and to encourage students to remember you’re always learning both recurrent and new material

[@VictoryAviation]

There’s a lot covered in a very short period of time, but still easy to digest. Definitely top notch material!

[@TiagoSeiler]

This video, and the one for commercial, are SO HELPFUL, GOD DAMN! Excellent work from you guys and you've earned a subscriber.

FAR - AIM TO BE REVISITED... Thank you 4 the inspiration to do something more with my life 🇺🇲

[@DaMojoIsDead]

Thank you so much for this video! Getting ready for my instrument check ride and this is perfect for reviewing!

[@johntyrone307]

I just found your videos and subscribed. Great content!!

[@flightinsight9111]

Welcome! Glad you're here

[@RetreadPhoto]

So given all that and the amount of work and money involved to stay current and rent more expensive planes, it’s really just phase 2 of a commercial certificate or even the ATP. Why else would anyone in their right mind with a PPL go through all that just to occasionally fly when it’s cloudy and crappy weather outside, if it ain’t to make money?

[@lohphat]

When I was training for my PPL ticket in 2003, my CFII miscalculated my XC time because we flew to an airport 49NM from home and when I went for my checkride, the DPE caught the oversight in my logbook and took my CFII to task for not catching it. I had to delay my checkride to then fly solo to a farther airport for a few weeks to make up the time. ($$$) Once I got my PPL, I started my IFR training immediately and double checked ALL numbers after that. I got my IFR 6 months after my PPL.

[@flightinsight9111]

Ouch. I’ve heard of one or two students having that happen. Not fun

[@faaacademyairportcertifica5155]

IN IFR YOU ARE STILL NOT DRIVING THE AIRCRAFT BUT CONNECTED TO A DME BUT NOT ONLY LIKE LAYING OUT A STRING BUT USING THE OTHER AIR TRAFFIC TECHNOLOGY SO THE YOKE MOVES WITH THE ROUTE?

[@Kevlux86]

NOT just a clock!! It needs to have a *sweeping* hand for seconds or a digital representation of that traditional clock face with the sweeping seconds hand. Very tricky but important!

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks! Clocks need to be authorized for IFR and installed in the panel (i.e. no wristwatches). They do need hours minutes and seconds, and if analog, need that sweeping second hand. If they're not analog, they just need a digital representation of the hours minutes and seconds, as most newer IFR approved clocks now do. There is no requirement to have a digital representation of the sweeping second hand though. The wording in 91.205 (d)(6) is a bit vague and could be interpreted as needing the digital representation of the sweeping second hand, but Advisory Circular 20-94a specifies that digital clocks can be used in place of the sweeping hand as long as hours, minutes, and seconds are individually displayed.

AIRLINE TRANSPORT PIOLT REQUIRES 120 HOURS OF IFR TRAINING AND 100 HOURS SIMULATION?

[@flywithdanny8150]

There’s error in IFR currency.

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks! It's updated in the full course!

[@Carltheproducer]

Do you know if it pertains to his slide at 7:13? After the 6 months of lapse, only a CFII or DPE can get you re-current? No more safety pilot to get you re-current after 6-month lapse?

[@flogsbymm]

Best video out there hands down. Just starting my instrument rating and this video cleared a lot of things up and gave me a timeline on how I should approach this rating. Thank you very much

[@garysgroundschool4739]

Wow, this is some genuinely professional content. Keep up the good work!

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks, hopefully not too professional, though. Don't want to feel like we're at work lol

[@ronaldosalas1477]

I’m a private pilot who’s getting ready to begin training to be ATC. Watching these vids to refresh my pilot knowledge and build for my ATC training. Great content, keep up the good work!!

[@robertmcdaniel8147]

Clarifying the definition of cross country: According to the CFRs, flight time can be logged as cross-country time "INCLUDES a point of landing that was at least a straight-line distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the original point of departure." I interprete this to mean that if I fly a 3-leg triangle involving landings at 3 airports, with legs of 30, 40 and 50 nautical miles, I can log a total of 120 miles of cross-country time. Am I correct?

[@golfcharlie232]

I recognise this thumbnail picture :)

[@RodSerling-y6p]

What's the difference between an aircraft that is IFR capable versus IFR certified?

[@ericplancon]

Hey bud, thanks for getting me through my IFR rating. I’ve been rocking my flight insight sweatshirt like, every other day for a month now

[@flightinsight9111]

Nice, stylin!

[@wesraffa]

Your videos are so good! One day I hope to be as good of an instructor as you! Thank you for all the great info/videos

[@johns9694]

When I am logging my VOR checks as per a 91.171b, I use the acronym DEPS. That is date, error, place and signature. My instructor taught me that a long time ago and I use it to this day. I hope it helps someone. Great job on the videos! There's always more to learn!

[@southweststinsons3593]

I always thought that there was a missing comma in the VOR Check reqirement. The Date, Place, Bearing, Error, and Signature makes more sense than Bearing Error.

[@aeronaut1738]

Finishing up my instrument rating. These vids are wonderful supplements. Cheers

[@flightinsight9111]

Good luck on the rating!

[@shamu3838]

These videos put sportys to shame

[@gonetoearth2588]

Awesome. Many thanks for a lovely review!

[@chrisbabin6981]

Your videos are great! It should also be noted (at 6:52) that during that initial 6 month period when you’re maintaining currency, 61.57 also requires a safety pilot when performing IAPs with the use of a view limiting device. It seems a bit misleading in the video that a safety pilot is only mentioned for the requirements during the 6-12 month period.

[@brandonlopez4011]

Question: Hypothetical speaking, if I did not log the 6HITs within the first 6months. Let's say I was only able to do 4 approaches. Would those 4HITs carry over? Or would I have to do a whole new 6 HITS?

[@raccoonair]

As usual, great that you put all the requirements together to get the whole picture. Thanks for posting.

[@scottfranco1962]

I looked up the VOT and VOR checkpoints for California. They are close to non-existent. Also I can't find a requirement that the dual VOR check needs to be done airborne?

[@MohammadShuja-y8p]

I really appreciate you regarding your great explanation, I learned a lot. I am still watching your IFR videos, that’s fascinating. Good luck man

[@beekangkang7150]

All the information for the GPS for approach is the pretty much same, only different materials is thr name changed,,height and direction, most of them ate the same, to my knowledge, just for the money for those business, I do hope those GPS makers do not charge for the GPS info update.

[@abrahamnemani3907]

As always nicely done.

[@Carltheproducer]

I wish there was a regular feature to add this YT vid to a playlist. I would love to share this with my instrument learners!

[@davidcarnahan7260]

I keep getting this recommended and I don't know why.

Good refresher , flying back in time

[@kellydaniels0044]

I notice you have a lot of content on the G1000 system but my aircraft has the GNS 430. How about a video on how to set up for approaches. I watched You Tube videos and can load the flight plan but Ignorant what are the steps to actually run an approach

1:51 You don't have to be a CFI-A to be in instrument instructor. You can be solely a CFI-I ONLY

[@flightinsight9111]

True! 61.195 lets an instructor teach instrument students without having their CFI-ASE. Their rating would say: Flight Instructor Instrument Airplane, as opposed to: Flight Instructor Airplane Single Engine Land - Instrument Airplane. Can't say I've met such an instructor but I understand it's getting more common in some larger schools. Thanks for chipping in!

[@CFLARROW]

@@flightinsight9111 I only know this because I’m a CFII only since 2009 and couldn’t instruct without the CFI-ASE rendering it basically a useless certificate. However, in 2018 the FAA approved clarification on what a CFII (only) could do, and it’s basically teach for the purpose of an instrument rating in single engine airplanes only (unless you’re a CFII with an MEI). Prior to 2018 I could only teach ground school. I like it this way only because I don’t have the time to dedicate to a new private pilot with my current career.

[@flightinsight9111]

[@faaacademyairportcertifica5155]

NO APARTS ARE NOT ALWAYS NEEDED BUT IFP AND VFP ARE NEEDED?

[@basimnimri]

There is an incorrect statement at minute 3:22 of the video: 61.109(a)(3) "3 hours of flight training in a single-engine airplane on the control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments" cannot be counted towards the 40 hour requirement unless provided by a CFII. if the 3 hours of training to "control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments" is provided by a CFI, then it cannot be counted. Additionally, for the 3 hours to be counted if the training was done be a CFII, the logbook entry has to clearly specify that it was "simulated instrument time"

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks so much for watching and I appreciate you giving a critical eye to the minutiae! The 2016 Rohlfing Interpretation sheds some light here: It states that while 15 hours of instrument instruction must be from a CFII, the 40 hour of instrument experience does not need to come from a CFII, and does not need to be instruction at all. Just as flying with a safety pilot helps satisfy the 40 hour requirement, flying 3 hours with any CFI to get your experience "solely by reference to instruments" counts towards the 40 as well. The exact language of the interpretation is: _"the 3 hours of flight training on "the control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments" in § 61.109(a)(3) may be applied toward the 40 hours of actual or simulated instrument time under § 61.65( d)(2)"_ www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/Data/interps/2016/Rohlfing_2016_Legal_Interpretation.pdf

[@basimnimri]

@@flightinsight9111 Thank you for that. I was not aware and the logic certainly makes sense.

[@streptokokke1003]

Very good Video. In reference to 8:20 it may be good to clarify that there is some more Equipment needed if carrying passengers (FAR/AIM: § 135.163).

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks for looking out for the details! It's much appreciated. For now these videos are sticking mostly to the scope of Part 91 flying since that's where newly minted IFR pilots will be. A big project in the future will definitely be tackling Part 135 and other commercial operations requirements!
