Practicing IFR in hard IMC, Cirrus sr22 style

[@gimapilot]

Real IMC, Nice! Also it's nice to have someone with you to talk it through the procedures.

Thanks for coming along

Thanks Brian, nice flying and instrument work..

[@justricardo]

love ifr videos -- one note , and is that on the last approach you cancelled IFR once you had the runway made .. and shortly after that the GPS announced 500. -- so you broke out and made the airport some place above 500 and probably below 1000 AGL. in that circumstance I would not cancel IFR.. i'd keep the clearance, just in case for some reason you have to go around. -- with the deck being below pattern altitude you're going to have a shitty time flying a go around if youare VFR .. which you are now that you cancelled your clearance. keep the clearance until you are on the ground if the deck is at or below pattern imo. Iknow this video is 2 yrs old .. but there are some folks who are working on their IFR that might read these comments and might benefit.

[@bdanza]

That's a great point, I had not thought about it. I think that it's probably just hard-wired behavior from flying into my home airport. but not canceling until you have a traffic pattern made is a great idea.

Great video, Brian. The clearance lady was incredibly clear..... Nice.

[@bdanza]

She's awesome, all my students comment about her when she's on the radios

[@robertg5393]

@@bdanza I can see why. Love it. She deserves a big thumbs up.

So cool movie. Real IMC conditions. Bravo. :-)

Nice flying, great video Brian! Thank you!

[@bdanza]

Thanks Mitt, really appreciate the views and the comments

I love it when ATC speaks clearly and is not trying to win a speed contest

[@bdanza]

ATC at Potomac is in general very very good. They always talk clearly, in full words, without going exceedingly fast

[@bdanza]

The new guy seems like he really understands the issues at hand

This is the best with having your own plane. Find a "good" IFR day and do one approach after another. Especially if you can go from VFR to a marine layer that's 0/0. Fly the approach to minimums and do the missed in actual. Commercial can't even attempt it and most instructors won't go either.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Flyin

Thanks for coming along

[@puretoronto]

Can tell they are American by the guy recording video and holding the phone the wrong way. lol

[@bdanza]

Vertical video is the worst

[@lucasschofield8716]

What's the purpose of the low flight over the runway? Is it for practice? Or to use as a reference for your next manoeuvre?

[@bdanza]

Just as practice

[@justsmy5677]

Do you ever get queried, by controllers, as to whether you are “going missed approach” versus “executing climbout”? Thanks

[@bdanza]

I'm not sure I understand the question...

[@justsmy5677]

@@bdanza Climbout instructions/procedures and Missed Approach are two different procedures. It is my understanding, and I could be wrong, that in layman’s terms; Missed Approach instructions are charted and documented on the approach plate and the controller expects you to fly them if you ACTUALLY go missed approach due to not breaking out of the weather at Decision Height/ MDA or in time to make a safe landing. Climbout instructions are ATC clearances normally coordinated in advance and given when doing practice instrument approaches and the Climbout headings/altitudes are (designed to keep you clear of terrain, etc.) more convenient for you to fly based on your next destination/approach (Missed Approach is often something like climb, hold, contact ATC, anticipate shooting another approach at same field). I was just wondering if the ATC controllers in your area were picky about using the two terms in different situations based on actually not breaking out of the wx (with intention of full stopping) versus doing practice approaches. I’m not trying to be a jack@ss, was just curious. Thanks😎

[@bdanza]

I'm still not sure I follow. In the real world you rarely fly the published missed approach, most of the time controllers and pilots fly more pragmatic flight paths. This video was real IMC, not practice, and I don't think I flew any published missed. Does make sense?

[@ericbuhrendorf]

Great video Brian 👍🏼 love the IFR work, not enough youtubers cover hard IMC.

[@bdanza]

Dude, thanks Eric! That's extremely generous. I love flying in IMC

[@landonsock6408]

Great idea to hand fly those! really well done

[@carlossteffens7659]

You got balls of steel... and mad video editing skills.

[@TritonTv69420]

Wow IFR seems intense in these conditions!

[@bdanza]

Yeah, but so much fun.... Also makes you a way better pilot

[@stealhty1]

That was awesome ,How did you filed for all those airports ?,,,, Most pilots in our club head out to Homedepot in that kind of weather,,Thx for share Capt Brian

[@bdanza]

Thanks for watching, filing easy, you simply put each airport in as a waypoint

[@damiennolan4246]

you made it look easy Brian, we know how much concentration it take, thanks

[@bdanza]

Thanks, Damien. The more we do the easier it gets, right?

[@rjens9039]

well done and thanks for the example of Hard IMC

[@bdanza]

Thanks for riding along

Oh wow…….Avidyne ! What a blast from the past !
