IFR Clearance and Departure - MzeroA Flight Training

m0a.com/ CRAFT is the acronym we use but how can we even go beyond that to use all available cockpit resources to best "think ahead" of the airplane even on the ground? We learn how in this video.

[@user-fh2pc2ru3f]

Great video; interesting that they had you check in with ground; who then handed you off to the tower; very informative!!!

[@encryptedjim]

Great Video! I had trouble seeing your scratch pad in the video but I absolutely love the pre-planning, thinking ahead, and systematic approach your give. You do a great job presenting the information and its clear you love what you are doing. The more I watch and learn more I want to be out flying. You make everything seem simple, easy, and fun which brings many people into the world of flying. You are leader in the industry. Great stuff!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you for the heartfelt words my friend!

[@foreff]

Thank you for your videos, I found myself completely immersed in them. Very easy to follow and to the point, with PRACTICAL tips.

[@tomsamuelson767]

Yowza. Love the Avidyne panel. We're all Garmin and I'm all jealous! Great vid.

[@davidendsley2391]

As always a Great instructional video, in my years of flying IFR it is more common for the route to change in-flight. Your instructions of keeping the flight plan page up on the MFD makes for changes easy.

[@Bentz5000]

Great video as always! Cheers from South Africa

[@jackzink740]

Excellent Jason. Very much appreciated.

[@Daniel-qt3pq]

Great video really helped me get a new look at how to handle my runups during my instrument training.

[@OriginalSpidee]

Amazing video. Very Helpful indeed especially for a refresher

[@artwright3128]

Great video Jason.

[@kenrobichaud7685]

Such an excellent video as always. Thanks to you and your fellow friends like Flight Chops and Steveo1, you guys make my learning of certain situations so much easier !!!@!

[@ronsites2694]

Always a great video. Thanks!

[@MichaelLloyd]

Great video. One of the things that caught me by surprise was how the amount of information available in the cockpit today can somewhat overwhelm a new or returning pilot (like me) if they don't manage it correctly, even in the VFR environment. I spend a lot more time at the covered parking area, with the engine running, than I ever did 20 years ago. I have standby and active frequencies loaded, nav aid(s), radials, etc, that I may or may not use, before I call ground and that's just for a local VFR flight. I know the new glass cockpit is safer in the long term but I'm not sure I will like it when I finally get to fly with an aircraft that's equipped with one. I know I won't like it when I start my IFR training again. I like analog gauges because I can interpret them faster (muscle memory amazes me sometime). Maybe that will change over time.

[@hugomelo4898]

This is a great content. Keep up the good work! Best regards.

[@airplaneguy17]

Can’t wait to start my IFR training!!👍🏼

[@jazminekimba2525]

Great video Jason

[@stevecraig3004]

Great video! You and Steveo are truly ambassadors of General Aviation. Keep up the good work!

[@johnkcohen]

Terrific... please more IFR

[@Techinvestigator]

Nice video, staying ahead of the plane rules!

[@huyg]

Awesome video!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you my friend

[@howardschatan2064]

Great presentation

[@464RJ]

Jason ..that was a great vid, thank you! Working with MzeroA online ground school to prep for written test for instrument ...👍

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

You're the man!

[@waynemiddleton806]

Great video!

[@sarahmills8378]

Great video

[@machine-1086]

Excelent good job mate

[@kevindavis8175]

Another thing I would add to the initial contact with whatever controller you’re getting your clearance from is what ATIS info you have. That way, the controller doesn’t have to ask you if you have the info.

[@emmonspatzer8113]

Pretty much how I currently do it; the exception being I use a Garmin 750. And, yes, it is pretty easy. The one thing you might consider doing a similar IFR video on is SIDs & STARs. You hardly ever use to get these and now they are increasingly common in any Class B and overhanging Class C (e.g. Sarasota is to Tampa). Like entering the airways points of join and exit, they are relatively easy to load. But please pay special attention to how to get the altitude off a newly assigned STAR off your electronic chart in an unfamiliar area.

[@Av8rThor]

I was having issues writing in ForeFlight so.i made a pad for my knee board. It has craft, the 5 Ts, two holding pattern data columns, inbd, outbnd, pattern entry and turns for parallel entry. I also have a small area for xtra notes and it dipicts a holding pattern scale. You write you entry heading in top. Take your inbound hdg and add or subtract to find the degrees of difference. Not that on the little graphic look and poof you have your entry. You can even draw the the dot you made for the entry heading as you direction is up you make a line up through it, draw the pattern you had figured out and now you have it visualized. This is all stuff I did in my head, my ifr instructor liked it so much he bought one! In addition it has room for the name of the approach you are going to fly with all the particulars. ATIS, FREQ, ALT etc. Nice to be able to look down and see everything you need to know completely organized and easy to read. I love Forflight and FlyQ but 5here is no replacing paper and pen/pencil whe writing in a bumpy environment. Of note each pad has 50 sheets, tear off. So you can plane multiple approaches for a xcnty trip and just tear off as you progress. I put two holdings on each page, one for well holding enroute or precedure turn and one for the missed.

[@SileightyS13]

That sounds amazing, I've been thinking of making something like this myself. Do you have a copy of yours available? I'd love to buy one as well

[@Av8rThor]

lazy_flip yes I do. I made it for local guys,$10 per copy. Each Pad holds 50 approaches. No way to show a picture of it on you tube though, perhaps I can put a picture on another platform and post a link

[@mikelarson1661]

Another great video, Jason. Did you forget to read back on take-off "runway 18" for clarification?

[@sergioechevarrialopez5104]

More IFR stuff!!

[@smaze1782]

Excellent video, very informative. Thanks for making it!

[@kylekoehller4984]

Nice clip Jason! I fly into MLB and Ocala all the time. These are great IFR tips.

[@kevindavis8175]

With knowing what frequency to use, this can sometimes be unpredictable. Some frequencies, for some reason, may be out of service. If you get a briefing with ForeFlight or 800 WX Brief, there’s a section on applicable communication NOTAMS. (I.E. “Thomasville RCO frequency 122.55 o/s”).

[@Parker-di7ef]

I too use ForeFlight to copy the craft clearance. I found its very useful to use a good (cheap) stylus. A couple of my friends use Apple pencils but I don’t want to spend $100 on a stylus that I’ll most likely loose in one of the training aircraft haha.

[@DNModels]

Great!

[@tooey]

Thanks!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Glad we could help! Thanks for watching, Andrew!

[@nickolaskoziol1867]

Great vid, any advice on how to remember that whole IFR readback would be really appreciated!

[@Av8rThor]

See my comment above

[@dannymitchum5]

thanks

[@BoldrepublicRadioShow]

QUESTION - When everything goes ADSB will we still have to squawk a code and ident?

[@parsandberg4816]

Great job in the airplane as always Jason. Thanks for the wonderful vids you´re making and sharing. Do you have any tips for how to maintain all this radio communication and all abbreviations for us who aren´t flying every week. Regards from Sweden..

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Using a website like LiveATC.net helps you to stay in that flow of hearing radio calls all day

[@careycooke679]

Since they did not tell you to go direct to the VOR that V537 comes out of in your clearance, are you expected to fly runway heading until they give you a different heading?

[@timmanning9]

Does a new Cessna 182 glass cockpit already come with the IFD features for IFR?

[@Contractedharry]

Why are you sitting on right side? Does it matter? Love your vids!

[@connorknudsen5602]

Got me going there I actually thought you were flying to Melbourne Australia I’m thinking omg your in Australia

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

hahaha

[@dralbuquerque5162]

Good stuff Jason. What panel mount are you using in 23MZ to fix the ipad. Very cool. Cheers

[@icekeyboard]

Awesome video! Is there some issue for the stabilizer of your pilot GoPro camera?

[@lukeradunz4900]

What is the engine monitor instrument in the top middle of the panel?

[@temeltirkes6002]

Jason, better to increase the video resolution. We can hardly see what you are pointing on the panel

[@andersongeorge4653]

*Nice video video Jason do u have GPWS on ur cessna* ?!

[@lancealot990]

The Avidyne IFDs have FLTA, so they are constantly calculating if you are projected to encounter terrain or obstacles.

[@CharleyAlphaAviation]

Is that a wrap or paint on the plane?

[@ronmccormick662]

Nice except for the part where you were making navigation changed while taxing to runway for takeoff, set a good example by not entering data while taxing

[@FranksFlights]

Hi Jason. Thank you for your videos. With your new setup can you transfer your flight plan from your IPad to your avindyne wirelessly?

[@lancealot990]

Yeah, you can easily transfer flight plans from your iPad using Foreflight or many of the other major EFBs to the Avidyne IFD over wifi. And you can also transfer your flight plan from the IFD to the iPad incase of changes while flying.

[@danielgraham4127]

Don't forget to write your time off in zulu for lost comms technique.

[@meloverissimo]

Jason I’ve been trying to contact your support several times about my membership in the ground school academy, I got some problems with it. Please help me.

[@MrJohnBatty]

I have watched your videos for several years and this was one of your better ones. Historically you talk too much, with the extra rambling distracting from the core theme. Keep it up. Thank you!

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Question....I don't want to take away from this GREAT video, but we're wondering why your mike button is on the panel rather than the yoke? It seems to be somewhat of a distraction(?) for you. Perhaps flying from the instructors right-seat is the reason? Thank you.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

In my early instruction days I found when I was hitting a yoke mounted button while help a student in the pattern I was actually turning the plane slightly. So they would adjust thinking it was a wind gust or something. So ever since then I moved it so my students know it's always 100% them.

[@tmanf22]

I've never had a clearence flow as filed or cleared. Flexibliltiy of the pilot is key...

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

So true!

[@nealhere]

Any incentives for instructors and your ground courses for their students?

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hey Neal! Thanks for reaching out! I have the perfect incentive for you. You could join our CFI partner team! As a member of our CFI Partner Program, we will pay you 30% of everything your students purchase. You can register by filling out the form here: ud165.infusionsoft.com/app/form/partner. Once you have submitted your information, you will be asked to setup your username and password to access the student side of the ground school for your review of the material. Be sure to keep an eye on your mailbox as well, we will be sending a bit more information and hard copies of the Private Pilot Blueprint to pass out to potential students. Please let us know if you have any questions, and welcome to the program!

[@newspeak707]

Very kool (NTC)

[@rmaha1965]

In the ATIS, what does “advise on initial contact” mean?

[@ChrisKerens]

The full statement is "advise on initial contact you have Hotel." It just means that when you call ATC for the first time (departing or arriving), you should tell them you have the current ATIS (Hotel). He gave it to them at 3:14 when he requested taxi.

[@airwipe1639]

advise clearance or ground that you have information (letter, like Bravo or India). So they know you have the latest ATIS.

[@100alexsouth]

When getting your clearance, since they gave you an airway, shouldn't they have said a fix or an intersection first? Because you need a way to get on the airway and also a way to get off it. PRESK got you off it but they never said the way to get on it. They could have just said Radar Vectors to V537 PRESK?

[@chrisward7030]

Alex Zenni He gets on at OCF since there’s a VOR on the field.

[@100alexsouth]

@@chrisward7030 but how does he know to do that since that wasnt in his clearance?

[@whoanelly737-8]

Nice video but Actually I don't think this was a complete explanation. There are multiple ways to from an airport under IFR: ODP, SID, Diverse Vector Area (RADAR VECTORS) , VCOA, and Diverse Departures by not hitting anything on your way out by crossing the DER at 35' AGL, climbing at least 200 ft/nm and making your first turn no lower than 400' DER. Not all airports have all departures but if it has an instrument approach a departure assessment is performed and diverse departures are not published except for some military airports. If you take a look at the Takeoff Mins section of the TPP, it's all right there and if not, you should know why its not by you going through the FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook. Now to be fair to the video, this isn't instruction so it's impossible to cover everything you need to know. But explaining the most basic element was missed here.

[@whoanelly737-8]

Chris Ward that's not correct

[@IranAir12]

I am so lost in the ifr training.

[@Banshee365]

Forget CRAFT. Where is my PDC?

[@Flygaljae]

What is that? Currently in instrument rating training ..
