IFR Operations - RNAV/GPS Approach - Flying with Dad

[@paulm5197]

I LOVED instrument training! It was the the most challenging and rewarding part of flight training. I did it long before GPS, and when I looked up after an hour's flight under the hood and saw a runway waiting I realized the magic of instrument flying.

[@TheAjs71]

What a great way to spend your birthday, doing what you love with your Dad! Gold...

[@maverick758]

haha, (Austin Approach) "you filming today?" Gotta love it when you're that well known to ATC

[@jonasw4921]

Happy Birthday! Have loved to watch your videos throughout my PPL training. You learn a lot from just watching more experienced pilots.

[@charlespilling1254]

Thank you so much for all of your hard work in the sky's! I am a 14 year pilot in training and I am being taught by my parents who work for United Airlines as a captain of a Boeing 747. We now have our own Skyhawks 172 and it flys great! I hope to be as good a pilot as you someday! Thanks for all of your hard work and for all of the videos!

[@flyinginak4824]

Can we get an update

[@av8rmell446]

Hi Mr Aviation,thank you for a wonderful film and great day to be flying with Dad.Love it

[@MegaHell101]

cool dad, cool son, nicely done!!! God bless you all. Loved it.

[@eaglechen6050]

Love your videos Josh. You earned my subscription. Good luck on your way to CFI or multi if you are going for those. I would say what I love more is the way you deal with haters. Blue skies and tail winds.

[@howtimflies204]

You're so lucky to have someone to safety pilot for you. I paid an instructor yesterday to go with me...I need to find someone. Happy Birthday. Thanks for sharing.

[@flycow69]

Happy Birthday. Great job on that missed approach. You are more of a professional at 20 years of age that I was at 40. keep up the good work.

[@Aviation101]

Thanks!

[@angelgonzalez-fs6mm]

+MrAviation101 happy birthday josh

[@Jaguar79gt]

happy birthday josh !!!! nice flight and all time happy landings ;)

[@elizabethjewel7325]

This video is fire. Thnak you so much, on day 6 of my IFR training. I will be doing all the radio calls today, this helped a lot. Can't wait to take my Dad flying when I become insturemnt rated too! Thanks again.

[@sirwholland7]

Can't think of a better way to spend a birthday. Congratulations!

[@torx0149]

"Ay 991 you filming today?" awesome question from atc! xD

[@flytobiair2898]

Happy Birthday, Josh! Great job on the missed aproach! Can't wait to start my PPLa in march, while watching you flying!

[@michaelroby6538]

Kind of funny; a little emotional watching this toward the end. Watching your dedication & commitment as a young man. You flying with your dad, and seeing a visible testimony that he worked hard at being a good father. Thinking I’d like to tell him “Good job...”. Then he patted you on the shoulder. Got a little misty. You tell him for me. He’s a good man. Started my journey back into aviation last spring and I loved your channel from the beginning. Thanks your service to aviation Josh, and for being a good businessman.

[@zacharyjbara2629]

I'm a 15 year old and my dad and I are getting our licenses this summer. I just wanted to say I got the Private Pilot Blueprint and it helped so much! Thank you!

[@yuriivlasenko6102]

Happy Birthday:) Fly safe!

[@scottc.6847]

Happy Birthday dude! Keep up the awesome work! Huge fan!

[@joshuadrabble5891]

Happy birthday Josh! Another great video!

[@complexza]

Happy B-Day! Hope you have THE BEST DAY EVER

[@trekkerj]

Enjoy flying in Texas. :) In NJ today, the current metar shows 20G31 M10/M27 Peak wind gusts 35.

[@saisantoshsreenivasan742]

HAPPY Birthday JOSH!! Thanks for continuing to post these amazing videos!

[@devon1187]

Hey Josh, Happy birthday!! you are such a inspiration to me you are the whole reason iv gotten in to aviation. I am only 13 but i hope to start my flight training in the next year or so. I love flying so much tho whether its in the sim or on a commercial aircraft. Iv never been in a general aviation plane tho because i live in NM so there is not many opportunists to fly in one but the one there are i cant afford. Thank you for making these videos your the reason why i want to become a pilot.

[@sirtifiedidiot4579]

Happy Birthday Josh

[@rs6130]

"991 You filming today? Affirmative" haha That is awesome! goes to show you just how much we all like the videos! Happy Birthday!!

[@jbreezy101]

+Roger Swain Controller's likely thoughts: "Oh S***, gotta do things by the book again!"

[@juusojd]

lol

[@elenadreyer9820]

and its looking nice in texas where here theres a little bit of wind low clouds visibility is reduced temps are not ideal and its snowing and the roads there slippery and partially covered

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Excellent camera work! Looks like GoPro! The x-plane Airfoil Labs 172 has Nav stack with Garmin 430/AP, very similar to your stack. Editing in some x-plane shots to complement your live videos would be excellent. Also, editing in the Appr plates at full resolution, low en-route, etc. I know. I know, lots of extra work! Keep in mind that most training videos, Jepp, King, Sportys are all dated. There is endless positive cash flow in royalties. They just keep on comin! Using Final Cut Pro allows some animation, chromakeying. Example fly a complete route in x-plane ( with Pilotedge ATC, including checklists, walkarounds etc) and then fly the same route live. There are some publishers out there that would be very interested! Good luck! PS Try using your feet more in low chop to keep wings level and on GS. You seem a bit busy on the yoke. I could be completely wrong on this because it is hard to see your feet. This is a tip an old instructor gave me that really smoothed out my flying. Keep up the good work!

[@Rear_Admiral522]

You probably red that already a few times, but Happy Birthday! Nice video as always, you really know how to make good videos. I inspired me to film my first big adventure as a pilot next autumn. If the result will be quarter as good, I will be happy. Keep up your great work!

[@RAINWOLFEN]

Move video. Happy birthday. Thanks for sharing.

[@RAINWOLFEN]

Sorry should be nice video. Lol

[@flaps40GX]

+Randy Malin lol, now did that happen

[@RAINWOLFEN]

+Matt Lowth damn phone auto correct.

[@AV4Life]

Sounds like y’all have some great controllers down in the San Marcus area!

[@gabrielkanter-goodell4968]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!

[@JMVENTURES1523]

Happy Birthday Josh !

[@25xan]

Really impressing and interesting! Good job!

[@gammat1890]

Cool video Josh! I've passed my Private Pilot Written Exam and have almost 10 hours so far. Your videos are great because they're entertaining and I learn from them!

[@matthewparkinson9723]

Happy Birthday !! :)

[@BrettBaker]

Nicely done! And Happy Birthday Josh!

[@danibonetalonso9412]

[@alexanderdavidson7837]

Mint videos mate. Always look forward to them...

[@TeemarkConvair]

pat on the shoulder."good job".. priceless

[@dfkendrick]

Very well done and educational. Thanks Josh.

[@godgoldgunsngolf6733]

I learned to fly at San Marcos before it was class d. Good stuff

[@BartoszDotryw]

Happy birthday! :D

[@henriquecarneirotostes2865]

Hey Josh im extremely happy to see all your videos and im learning a lot of things that i cant see in other channels, i think you have a big secret, in order to do this videos sooooo NICE,,auhauha Thanks a lot, i fan from Brazil!!! By the way your father looks a very nice and funny guyy!!! i wish you both the best!

[@nathanchetram287]

Happy Birthday!

[@ClarkyAv]

Practice approaches are always great fun, especially flying them right down to minimums! I enjoyed the video mate :-)

[@mywidescreen2]

Great job, looks a great future for you

[@sjalmeha]

That's great, that's my next will practicing on, what's your advices?

[@bradyfasbender4483]

happy birthday!!

[@bobshaw4063]

Josh belated " Belated Happy Birthday " Many happy birthday in the future. Always enjoy flying along with you in your great flying videos. Do you ever go flying alone?

[@nelsonciprian5403]

Hi Josh. I've been watching your videos for a while now, great job on them and happy birthday! Do you ever plan on getting some wheel pants and/or a power flow exhaust on that baby? Keep up the good work!

[@zachroditski1077]

happy birthday!

[@25xan]

Btw, Happy bday Josh!

[@57Ploeg]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering where your definition of "established on approach" came from? I've always considered "established" when your on course or within 1/2 scale, sounds a little nit picky but I think in certain places you could still be a ways off when the needle starts to move

[@mmichaeldonavon]

Where do get all the money for fuel??? :) N-6395T (yes, I am being "smart!) Jealous, maybe? :) My GA experience, 152's, 172's, etc., and Piper Arrows, etc., wreaked havoc with my "aircraft disposable income." :) No IFR rating - maybe that save me "some coinage!" Your videos are very well done - you are to be commended (and your Dad, also) on your inherent abilities. Thanks

[@themafiagamers1122]

happy birthday m8

[@elenadreyer9820]

HEY JOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hey buddy happy birthday love your video and when I fly with you I am wondering if you can explain to me what Zulu time is thanks because I am only used to the time that I read the current local time is 1:22 pm CDT

[@TheBarnem13]

Happy Birthday

[@qc4402]

When his dad said "we are headed right for that antenna", you could tell he wanted to be like " dad, I know that!!"

[@flaps40GX]

Hey Josh, how often do you take N80991 up in the air? Do you film all of your flights or do you only film a handful?

[@flaps40GX]

And happy birthday :)

[@peterellison2220]

He told a friend in some other video at least once a week.

[@flaps40GX]

+Peter Ellison oh ok, thanks man

[@Ilovealtoids]

+Peter Ellison what did he say? Or what video...? Lol

[@peterellison2220]

+John Armstrong it was a video of him with some other guys in his 172 and they asked him what you were wondering, i can't find it

[@vortexjm]

Thank you for all the hard work filming and sharing this valuable IFR practice. Great way to start your birthday! Love your watch. What make/model is that?

Happy Birthday Josh. Got around to installing the autopilot? Happy Flying!

[@trevorblackbirdguitar9952]

Hey josh, I'd love it if you found a way to sign up and fly with the blue angels... I'd love to see that. :)

[@seamustwohig4805]

I love this channel. I am looking into flight lessons myself. Any tips?

[@brewdunaway5187]

I enjoy watching your videos thx.. Brew

[@billfarnham1592]

Show us about your autopilot in the C172. I'm old and have never seen one in a 172.

[@badgerfishinski6857]

Once establushed on loc and GS, what are your target pitch and power settings? Flaps look to be zero. What are your target IAS, FPM descent rate? You are very articulate on ur ATC comm. Nice!

[@jimkladis1759]

Very thorough.

[@miklemikemuster]

The yoke seems like such a struggle @ lower altitudes , is the rudder the same way?

[@aviatortrucker6198]

Now I really don’t feel so bad when I have to do my IPC because you have proved to the fact that he can get so busy when you’re not on a long cross country to be able to brief an approach and get all the flying done. Like I said it is always like trying to text and drive yet the FAA wants you to be able to brief an approach when you have to be concentrating on what you’re doing plus what ATC might interject very quickly.

[@smirnoff1589]

Love your videos man. I'm getting much better with ILS, LOC, and VOR instrument approaches, but I'm not so great with RNAV's. Does an RNAV approach provide vertical glideslope guidance? or only localizer type horizontal guidance?

[@juusojd]

It does. And it often also simulates the needles getting more sensitive as you approach the runway just like a traditional ILS would do.

[@sonyrast]

If youre still looking for an answer it depends.. if the aircraft is or isnt waas equipped.

[@mikegcm]

Nice job!

[@matongax]

Awesome vide. Very useful and . U are famous man, atc knows u! Ha. Again great video

[@sanferrera]

"niner-niner-one ... are you filming today?" :)

[@crazylito]

Very helpful video. Thanks!!!

[@jbreezy101]

I know you don't include your run-up in this video but something Jason Schappert said caught my ear: when you find that you need to clean up a magneto, do you increase the power/ RPMs before you do the cleaning procedure or does your aircraft manuf. not recommend it?

[@jdbar014]

Nice video and approach. I noticed your dad has a large ring on his hand, is he by chance a Naval Academy graduate? Thanks.

[@elenadreyer9820]

and josh since you've caught so many pictures of Texas at night and day I will try and capture photos of my side of town from day and night photos

[@haydenoneil4975]

Great video as always :)

[@russrandall5433]

Nice flying . Where's Brooke ?

[@FSXHDsimulation]

happy birthday

[@jasonsails]

Nice Job.

[@WhiteLinesBlueSkies]

Great job! I enjoy watching just to brush up on my approaches. What is the purpose of having your iPad upside down? Thanks!

[@vortexjm]

Easier to plug in?

[@j.m.rosemond3314]

+WhiteLinesBlueSkies If the iPad mini was right side up, the clip at the bottom would cover up the home button.

[@dgdivoky1]

Nice video!

[@justinmcdowell6121]

Hey Mr. Aviation. I do not mean to be rude but why I was wondering why you have an Ipod in your plane? Also, what do the big sunglasses do for you?

[@fish7days]

Well done !!

[@Ilovealtoids]

How do you get the GoPro to stay stuck to the headliner for that shot between the two seats?

[@MajorChris1983]

Thank you for the video. What type of screen protection do you have on your iPad and can you recommend it?

[@glennmiller394]

Having had two parents with pronounced West Virginia accents, I'm always amazed how your Dad has that thick Texas drawl and you sound like any ordinary news reader, Josh. I don't know how that happens. Interesting.

[@Aviation101]

It's probably because I travel a lot!

[@matheusabreu1190]

is there a difference between saying "I have the controls" or "my airplane"?

[@abbieamavi]

Matheus Abreu same thing/same intent, but the important part is to verbally and visually acknowledge that the other person does indeed have the controls.

[@jimbiller9682]

For flight planning, how does one know that the Garmin 430W will pick up vertical guidance? And then, is there anything to do on the 430W to make the vertical guidance work?

[@daveblevins3322]

Dear Lord God, thank you for the time I had with my Dad in my life. 🙏👍🇺🇸🚁 I miss him very much, but I know he's with you now Lord Jesus. Amen.

[@tomwce1]

would this be a GLS approach? in australia our RNAV approaches dont give glide slope indications

[@nothing1421]

How does your dad like that FARO headset?

[@abrahamtorres3696]

your Cessna has autopilot!!!! do you often use it??

[@peterellison2220]

I like his back to the future shirt xD

[@Aviation101]

YES! Someone noticed! Haha

[@peterellison2220]

+MrAviation101 too good to go unnoticed :D you're my role model pilot and I wish to be like you 👍

[@THEGREATBOY901]

what app do you use when flying to get the air craft on the ipad so you can see it on the charts?

[@TheTrainFan]

Do those glasses make it so you can't see out the windshield?

[@Aviation101]

Correct

[@TheTrainFan]

+MrAviation101 wow very impressive
