Hey Aviators! Thanks for tuning in. Make sure to hit the like button, subscribe, and ring the notification bell. Also leave a comment and I'll answer back!

[@masseywillingham2740]

Man what an awesome CFI.

[@michaelfarrow4648]

Actual IMC experience is VERY important. Good work, Chris. Very good instructional technique. My method of "reverse sensing" is to think of the CDI as the airplane and the doughnut as the course line. So you would fly the CDI toward the doughnut. I look forward to your next video. 😃

[@markmaccani9411]

Chris, Great job on the IFR video. Have had my certificate for 8 months now and have almost zero actual experience. To much winter and ice. Maybe spring will come some day here but it is not promising. Been snowing for 4 days now. Just have to keep up with the simulated until the weather cooperates. Thank you for all the work you put into these.

[@flywithty1788]

Thankyou for a great video!! I am hoping to see more IFR videos as that is my next step in my aviation journey and every little bit of information I can gather is very helpful and I appreciate your great work put into the video.

[@moriarty4100]

I did the majority of my instrument training in actual IMC out of EDF. Back then didn't have the fancy gadgets! Still using the old ADF's, dual nav/comms, standard 6 pack etc. Did a few PAR (GCA) approaches into EDF! That was a lot of work!

[@masa.aviator]

Great video! As a CFII, I always learn something new from another CFII!! Thanks!!!

[@steveyork1664]

Chris. I do enjoy all of your videos. I’m not a pilot but have the opportunity to start my training and the more I watch not only yours but others you have motivated me to get started. I really wish I were in your area because I really enjoy the way you instruct. I’m so fired up to get started.

[@jamestharp7880]

Always love your videos. You are so clear with your explanations. Nice to know when your instruments are reverse sensing.

[@defiantly_emily]

Awesome video as always, Chris. Hoping to find the time to get my PPL in the future. Your videos are always educational and entertaining. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work.

[@skygod1067]

Good for people to see the work load required for IFR

[@maeguillen7820]

Mr. Palmer you're patience is amazing. Loved watching IFR flying your knowledge is astounding. Thank you for sharing. Did you're course loved it!! Studying to take private pilots license test.

[@NathanBallardSaferFlying]

Good stuff Chris, thanks for the great content!

[@enisjusuf2457]

Thank you for this video......great, like always...

[@josephraschke3495]

Do you ever feel disoriented? My last trainer did some sketchy stuff and took us above the clouds before I was ready. Maybe 5 hours of training total. He’s like we aren’t supposed to do this but let’s go above 2000’ and do ifr training. Huge cloud formations. I was so disoriented and nervous at the same time. I didn’t fly with that guy anymore

[@MattWetherill]

Wow - big workload.

[@Danielsullivan730]

Great video keep it up

[@skyepilotte11]

Nice job John...best training in imc...

[@bernardanderson3758]

Looking forward for more of IFR flights with ride along with John

[@FutbolisLife7]

Gotta show my fellow Alaskan Aviators some ❤

[@delalima]

excellent video

[@joezimmerman3848]

Great video, Chris. I'm about 10 hours into my instrument training. Question on your sim... does a CFII (i.e., you) need to be in your sim with a student to log instrument time ?

[@matthewgabert]

Great video! What app are you using on the iPad? Foreflight? How do you maintain cellular/GPS in flight? Separate device?

[@maritestaylor8458]

Love it 😁😁😁😁😁😁.

[@masterswitchaviation]

I absolutely loved this! BTW, I saw that Just Plane Silly episode he was talking about... I too had that thought. I'm a PP hoping to start my IR soon.

[@alk672]

I wonder what his wife thought when she heard that :)

[@flyingjeff1956]

It's criminal how many people get an instrument ticket without a single minute of actual. (And many instructors shake in their boots at the thought of actual.)

[@ThereCameAnEcho]

My entire IR training has been in the midwest in winter so no actual for me... Hoping conditions line up for me to go actual before my checkride end of May. Regardless no way I'm going actual for the first time solo

[@bernardanderson3758]

I remember my first time in my IFR cross country in a Non Auto pilot and no GPS with a CFII and the amazing thing was staying on my altimeter and scanning the double six pack and not knowing how fast things are moving and what a difference from Flying VFR into IFR conditions that can change very quickly . This is what it’s all about and I’m excited about seeing this and how much work is involved:

Hello from PHX. Those shades look like they add about 50 horsepower. Thanks for the content. Student here in '63 182f. Ancient avionics. Any recommended resources to learn about modern avionics like yours?

[@bteiger]

@angleofattack can you do a video on the vertical stabilizer camera mount?

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Hello from Sydney Australia. Why is John so tense in IMC, it's all instruments. He could strain a deltoid or his lats!!! Better chilllax and enjoy the panel and radio? 🇭🇲🌏

[@attyrorylodge]

your second hand should be on throttle nice video.

[@assignmentair-wk4xu]

Your back! :D

[@angleofattack]

I never left?

[@Boebus666]

What about his back?

[@Ptro1]

What iPad size do you recommend for foreflight?

[@alk672]

What's the point in instrument training in Alaska if you're flying piston singles? Half of the time you can't climb high enough because MVAs are very high due to terrain, but even if that's not the problem, isn't it icy year round? Do you just fly through icing conditions all the time and hope for the best?

[@angleofattack]

The point is everyone needs that rating if they want to fly professionally. It gets pretty nice here in the summer. Here on the Kenai we have lower MEAs. It works out. We don’t fly in it during winter.

[@user-fw6eh9go5i]

Hi I’m interesting how to enroll

[@davejones542]

@7:21 man that altimeter is swining by 75feet.. that isnt great for flying down to minimums needs replacing

[@doctriestosew4333]

Not a pilot or student pilot, but is flying IFR too much for a person to do alone...so much going on in that plane

[@mohamadezzeddine3957]

Its totally doable alone depends on experience. New pilots normally tag along with another pilot or ask a safety pilot to be with them in poor weather conditions or night time

[@doctriestosew4333]

@@mohamadezzeddine3957 ok. Thanks. Lot of skills needed to fly IFR

[@kushagramittal4275]

You are correct but once you are proficient it comes naturally. Remember Proficiency is the key. Small things like just changing runways can make a lot of room for errors if you aren’t on top of things

[@doctriestosew4333]

@@kushagramittal4275 amazing that something like that comes naturally. This is an awesome hobby

[@bitlong4669]

Practice, practice, practice. Juggling looks difficult, but it’s totally learnable skill.

[@AV8R_1]

Question. The center controller said he couldn't issue you your clearance until you were above 5000 feet, then asked if you could maintain your own terrain clearance up to 5000 where he could then issue your IFR clearance. You replied that you could, and he issued an instruction for you to climb to 5000. But at just above 4500 you stated that you were in IMC. How is it you can go into IMC without having yet received the IFR clearance, or did I miss something there? Was that the IFR clearance he gave you right after you said you could maintain your own terrain clearance?

[@alk672]

Certain questions you don't ask in flying.

[@AV8R_1]

@@alk672 🤣

[@alk672]

@@AV8R_1 I’ve never been to Alaska, but generally speaking (from what I’ve seen on KZbin) I don’t think anybody is following any regulations over there. Content creators will post obviously illegal stuff (I’m not saying this particular situation was illegal) and they won’t even try to justify it. Alaska is just different I guess.

[@AV8R_1]

@@alk672 Ive seen plenty of that myself. Not trying to call Chris out or put him on the spot, buuuut... This was technically an instructional flight, so you expect it to be by the book, and I legitimately wasn't sure if the "climb-to, then direct XXX" was the official clearance, or what. Obviously it was nonstandard if it was an actual route clearance, and did not get a read-back and acknowledgement of a "correct" read-back, etc. But I do also know there are some aspects of KZbin flights that can be lost in editing. I don't doubt he got a clearance, just wondered if that was it or not. That being said, I do wish instructors and commercial pilots would just own up to the fact that they do a LOT of the things they drill into students that they shouldn't do, and vice-versa. Just teach it the way its practiced in real life. So many instructors and commercial pilot teach things just HAVE to be a certain way, and then throw it all out the window when they are flying themselves.

[@alk672]

@@AV8R_1 that was a clearance for sure, I’m also wondering how it was ok to go into IMC like that before reaching MVA, but maybe it somehow was. I saw a video (might have been on this channel actually) of a couple of Alaskan dudes flying “VFR” in the mountains with basically zero visibility by reference to ForeFlight’s synthetic vision, talking about safety the entire flight. That was hilarious.

[@Demeeee_]

I want to become a pilot and do I need to know mathematics? Thanks 😊

[@mktwatcher]

I gave you a thumbs down because this seemed more like vanity flight. I got more than half way through and you still hadn't taken the time to explain anything about how to interpret the IFR Flight Instruments or any IFR procedures.
