That was beautiful

[@adam-hd7kg]

These videos are helpful. Thanks!

Great presentation. Thanks

[@nathaliacoelho4065]

Great video!

@ 14:10 - to clarify ; You mean to fly the published missed approach procedure for runway 09 ? (not the missed approach for 36...)

Hello Spencer, Based on the TAAs, which are designed to eliminate the need for procedure turns, you should start the procedure at the north IAF based on where you are coming from. Zorme should only be the IAF if you are coming from the west, according to the TAA.

I agree with this comment. In fact using the IMAHA actually reduces risk. Moreover, the only reason to teach that circle to land on an RNAV is for a checkride prep. I have circle to land on my personal minimum list for. For me this is a nice video... well documented and well presented... that teaches you to do two wrong things.

It would be nice if the approach plate were in focus.

Great video thank you

You say that ZORMI is the IF when entering the procedure turn, and the IAF when entering the final approach coarse. Isn't it the other way around? You fly the IAF first, and then the IF if there is one.

A great way to fly to an unfamiliar airport and not embarrass yourself when they clear you for a visual approach and you still haven’t found the airport because you are approaching from a low altitude to a perpendicular runway.

[@gorgly123]

I have a question, why do the step down before the final approach fix when you could maintain 2000 feet until intercepting the glide path then start your decent?

[@garretthull9846]

Final approach fix is where intercept glide path. Denoted by the zig zag arrow and minimum crossing altitude at final approach fix

[@gorgly123]

@@garretthull9846 I know that but you can also intercept the glide slope at a higher altitude and follow it down to the circling minimums and not have to do several power adjustments for the step downs and level offs and then to reduce power again at the FAF and reestablish your descent again.

Love it

WAAS equipped? The 172 G1000 that I rent for my IFR training isn’t, so no RNAV approaches using LPV minima.

Zoom in and focus when going over your briefing on the plate. Very difficult to see. The glare on the PFD was not helpful when flying the bars and glide path. Otherwise great information and looked like an ice flight!!Back in the day I was at Cecil field for F-18 training in the USMC! Guess it’s a public use airport now, and yea 8K feet is plenty!

You’d think CFII meant certified flight internet instructor.

Nice video, but I have two observations. I didn’t see or hear any checklists being run. I know it’s a relatively simple airplane, but you really should perform checklist items in a training video. Also, the iPad attached to the left front windscreen seems to block a lot of your view. Not so good for “see and avoid.”
