IFR Clearance Practice | Make Perfect IFR Radio Calls

[@IanHorsford]

Words cannot express how grateful I am for these instructional videos, not to mention your smooth professorial voice 😂 you make learning fun, engaging and simple to understand 👊🏾👏🏾

[@user-vu4tf3eb9l]

Are you getting aroused by his voice?

[@Justsomegamergamingandstuff]

Literally!! I'm starting my instrument rating later this year, and I've just been practicing copying clearances every few weeks. It's just making me more excited to start that really

[@tommycaputo9267]

This is one of the 1st IFR clearance videos out there. Clean, professional, real world application. I would appreciate more of them!

[@jamesgreco3117]

Pilots never stop learning and you make it easy and enjoyable. Commercial Multi and still watch all your videos from basic to advanced. Thank you.

[@TiagoSeiler]

I think that first arrow at 1:06 is wrong. It's pointing to the AWOS number, whereas the correct would be the CD phone 3 lines down.

[@itsPlanesUSA]

This video is awesome, I’m taking my first IFR lesson tomorrow in the plane and ofcourse talking to ATC has me nervous, I’ll be well prepared! Thank you

[@combatpig3435]

These instructional videos are unbelievable helpful! They have really helped me out. Makes it even easier because the airports you use are local to me

[@1dullgeek]

100% I found this helpful! And I already have my ticket! Yes more please! I love being able to practice scenarios that I haven't yet seen IRL.

[@jordanelkins9801]

This is extremely helpful. Was starting to get overwhelmed with my IR training but your videos really make it click. Thank you!

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

I used to fly out of GAI and FDK, and more than once, while on an IFR flight plan, they vectored me directly over top of Dulles. I remember one time a hole in the clouds opening up, I looked down, and saw the Dulles runway environment right below me.

[@thebadgerpilot]

One thing I've found helpful is to do your homework ahead of time. With prior knowledge of what initial altitude I'll likely get, ForeFlight's notification of my cleared route ahead of time, and knowing which departure frequency I'll likely get, I can usually have everything ahead of time except the squawk code. A little planning makes clearances super easy and makes you sound like a pro.

[@craggslist]

I write what I'm expecting on the left then the corrected on the right. I can assume 3-4/10 after, but I may get 3-5/10 after as an example

[@christophvz]

That’s the way to do it.

[@thedennisgame]

Thanks

[@serverguy74]

Long time fan of the channel. Thanks so much for the videos! Just about to my IFR checkride and have been watching a ton of them in recent months.

[@flightinsight9111]

That is awesome!

[@andreassinger8264]

Thx for the great content!!

[@jimjernigan3670]

Very helpful! I'd like a bunch more of these clearance practices. They really help with me getting comfortable hearing the fire hose of information they send. That new Thanks option is interesting. I'd consider using it if I knew it was all going to the content producers and not KZbin. I already pay them to skip ads. Thanks!

[@cram1145]

Love your content. Thank you for making them available on KZbin!

[@flightinsight9111]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@xplayman]

Oh this video is perfect! I just started IFR a week and a half ago. Couldn’t find much out there for practicing CRAFT but luckily I picked it up quick. Even so, this scenario had a nice twist that I wasn’t prepared for as someone who flies out of a towered airport. Can’t wait for more IFR content.

[@IanHorsford]

Thanks!

[@acreeger]

Consistently great content - thanks!

[@flightinsight9111]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@korotaszep]

I'm new to IFR and for one reason or another I keep fumbling through my radio work. This video helps. I just wish I could hit 'pause' on the ATC while I'm in the air. Lol!!

[@briank3754]

Great content, Keep it coming! Much better than the nonsense I paid $300 for. I got my instrument rating in 2007 and haven’t even shot an approach in 10 years. Getting current and building time right now. I’m looking to do my CFI next year. Thanks again!

[@japostolu7415]

This was very helpful. Please continue to do more practice clearances.

[@ivorevans1795]

Very helpful indeed and will def put money where my characters are when I start my IFR. PPL starting March 20th on a residential intensive basis. Can't wait!!

[@dmorokov]

please, do more like that! that's especially useful for international non-english native speakers

[@aviatewithmahrad6796]

This was amazing! more of IFR clearance would be helpful. Maybe one scenario for when you are airborn and trying to pick up an IFR. Thanks

[@rosiporras7243]

I just amazing how you explained. Very helpful. Please more

[@stuartcrutchfield8880]

Very helpful video. I continue to find your videos so informative!

[@danielfallon2412]

Great videos They definitely helped my understanding of IFR and getting my rating last year. I am very grateful for videos such as these to continue my education to be more proficient.

[@TheRealFlightFox]

These examples are very helpful and easily understood.

[@mitchmclain4809]

Very good examples of what to expect when new to IFR

[@sergioorioli9090]

Excelente! Keep up the good work. Thank you from São Paulo, Brazil

[@healerf18]

Excellent. Love it. More IFR clearance type content would be great!

[@steviem8294]

I was wondering if you could explain the situation where there’s two frequencies listed on the plate and how to choose which one you need. I recently had a job interview where I was asked to find the correct departure frequency. I had to fumble through my knowledge for a while to figure out the answer. Great video otherwise! Keep them coming!

[@eyupkalender1]

Thank you so much for your great contents in this channel!!!

[@PA28-181]

Great voice makes learning easy. Keep it up !

[@jimbiller9682]

Love the practice Video. This i sa great way to practice clearance copying. IDEA: present a Flight SIm route challenge, then have another video show us how you would do it. (IFR magazine does this , but only in print.)

[@flightinsight9111]

I think you'll be very pleased over the next few weeks!

[@yasselgarcia1555]

Love your videos!! Dont stop doing it!! Thank You 🙏

[@ashleyfoster2328]

These are great, PTAC is the most intimidating for me.

[@1dullgeek]

PTAC got a lot easier for me when I realized that I only have to remember (at most) two things from the ATC call: Turn and Altitude. Everything else I should already know (position and approach). And in some cases, if I'm direct to an IAF rather than on vectors to final the only thing I have to listen for is the altitude. So in the vectors to final case, ATC will say: "N12345 you are 5 miles from POSTN turn right heading 270, maintain 3000 until established, cleared ILS 5 into XYZ" I just need to remember 270 and 3000. So my response is: "270, 3000 until established, cleared ILS 5 XYZ" In the direct to a fix case, ATC might say: "N12345 you are 10 miles from POSTN, maintain 3000 until established, cleared RNAV 5 into XYZ" In that case I only need to remember 3000. So my response is: 3000 until established, cleared ILS 5 XYZ I've also found that rehearsing it outloud before I get the clearance helps. "Next thing I expect is the approach clearance. ATC is going to say something like 'N12345 you're 5 miles from POSTN, turn right heading 280, maintain 3000 until established, cleared ILS 5 into XYZ'. And I'm going to respond, '280, 3000 until established, cleared ILS 5 XYZ'" I do that at least once sometimes more if I screw it up. And that has helped me a lot.

[@saltygator]

Outstanding Video, Keep them coming!

[@avnx72]

Yes, please do some more of these!!!

[@viewerad]

Fantastic. Yes, please more. Lots

[@MichelleGHeld]

Yes, more practice, please!

[@Braeutigamaviation]

Keep up with this! they are very informational!!

[@CH46BattleFrog]

This is extremely helpful. It helped fill-in the gaps.

[@cogwheel42]

1:05 - the arrow is pointing at the AWOS phone number, not the clearance delivery

[@flightinsight9111]

Whoops. We may have been playing the new kerbal space program while editing this!

[@jacobanderson9292]

​@@flightinsight9111do you not say "with information bravo" (weather)

[@cosac18]

Very helpful, my problem is it happens so fast, hard to keep up. More practice.

[@jean-clauderoussil6830]

In your read back you said expect 6T ignoring one zero after departure, still appropriate? Thank you for the lesson.

[@GilbertoNovaes3]

So, this video is the best short explanation about how to communicate and take notes for IFR Clearance. I have just one question: “the phone number for uncontrolled airport was under WEATHER DATA SOURCE on Chart Supplement. Is it always on this section? Do you know where is it on CFS for Canada? Thank you so much for this amazing video

[@flightinsight9111]

thanks. no that's a mistake, the arrow should be pointed further down where it reads "for CD contact..."

[@GilbertoNovaes3]

@@flightinsight9111 so, CD should means Clearance Delivery right? Do you know where I find this same information on CFS for Canada publications?

[@terrypedersen7]

In Canada it is the same number as WX Brief. Can get a briefing, file IFR or VFR and pick up a clearance from the same person. At some non-towered airports like the one I am at (CYXR) there is a remote controlled frequency for London where I pick it up over the radio usually instead.

[@junetebarts1334]

Thank you for this! Please make more.

[@tzincp]

Great Video, would certainly appreciate more of this practice!

[@philipmcbride-pilotengineer]

Great practice. Also, funnily given the airport identifier, but KFCI has great fried chicken on Tuesdays and Thursdays for lunch. :)

[@lgarcia258]

Subscribed! Please, more of these......

[@robertbrewster]

VERY HELPFUL! Keep it up! 🚀

[@19ij]

Very useful, thank you. Can you make a video how to tune equipment for different approaches (ILS, LPV, GPS, RNAV etc.)?

[@flying-squirrel-SK]

Thank you for great video as always! More videos like this would be very useful. As a non native english speaker I find it always difficult to get clearances on (for now only in vatsim network). What are your tips/strategies for getting the spelling right of the waypoints and SID/STAR procedure names?

[@ska042]

Bit late for a response, but in case it helps someone: For departures, you should just have a look at the available instrument departures before you do the clearance call. Then you'll already kind of know what to expect. For waypoints, if you're unsure it's probably best to ask them to spell the waypoints out, if there is any possibility for confusion. Otherwise, just write them down as you heard them, and then if your readback is deemed correct, look the waypoints up in your FMS/Tablet/whatever you use as you enter the flight plan there. If there is any waypoint you can't find or that seems weird (presumably because you didn't spell it correctly) you can always radio back and ask for clarification before you taxi out and proceed.

[@k_syw]

Thank you! It was really helpful for me

[@alexpitts7634]

Fantastic work

[@acreeger]

Awesome! I notice you don’t mention ATIS/altimeter information when request clearance? Is that only for major airports?

[@skeletonskelly]

Can I know what was the app used on I pad 4:29

[@CascadiaAviation]

Is 10 minutes the “standard” time for an expected altitude? Or should you copy that down too.

[@thomasw.richter5212]

An eye opener!

[@JustSayN2O]

Is the "expect" time (that is the expect a higher altitude) ever NOT ten minutes?

Upload more videos about practie ifr clearance (write and listen)

Pop up clearances would be cool an ifr equipped aircraft and capable pilot flying VFR with a cloud in front of them.

We've got more coming!

[@aspenspora]

More please!

[@christophfacebooker2618]

Great Video however in Europe the names are spelled letter by letter and the speech of talking is a bit slower. U also have to take into consideration that a filled route as sids and transitions should be known to the pilot due to flight preparation. But as usual a wonderful video. 👍

[@scottfgray]

Very helpful!

[@aborashed5803]

تعلمت الكثير منك هذا اليوم شكرا جزيلا

[@JustinKruse-u1g]

I cannot write that fast. Its just physically impossible for me. Trying to practice these, I get the first section of the route, everything else is a blur

[@sethregan8734]

I would definitely have to ask the controller to slow down if he talks as fast as you lol 😆. I'm just a few weeks into IFR training.

[@cd-zw2tt]

it seems like local airports might assume things about your communication, but you gotta be on top of it

[@danzaeske6514]

Muy bueno!

[@boardingpass8183]

Thank you

[@flightinsight9111]

You're welcome

[@kevindavis8175]

They’ll say “I have a full route clearance” and I’ll say, “You’ve got to be kidding me!” (No I would never say that IRL)!

[@gottadomor7438]

Pro. WAY over my head but still informative, instructive & interesting, t/y/v/m.

[@alk672]

As a new pilot, I'm starting to think that IFR in a small airplane is actually easier than VFR. No aerospace to worry about, no navigation, no altitude selection, just do what you're expected to do, go through the motions.
