IFR Cross-Country flight to Daytona Beach, FL - Sporty's IFR Insights with Spencer Suderman

[@robertknox1991]

Great video! I'd like to point out that an easier way to change the approach to Vector to Final is to (1) tap on the FPL button (for flight plan), (2) tap on the green Approach segment, then (3) tap on "Activate Vectors to Final". It's only 3 taps.

Thanks Spencer! This is great.

I was always taught to avoid saying "turn right 300 *for* 814MV" to avoid any confusion of saying "four" instead of "for."

[@ssairshows]

Thanks for watching! For a 22 minute video made for demonstrating how to use the latest tech for flying IFR there are probably more things for you to have noticed that are worthy of commentary than me saying "for", aren't there?

[@skyepilotte11]

Great video...thx

[@cyrouskhavari969]

Great video. Iam looking forward getting current. After 25 years or so. Iam from the old school, when I used fly instruments. It was all steam gauges and paper jepson charts. I believe when Lincoln was president!

[@sportyspilotshop]

You got this! Flying is still flying, but many of these modern tools make it easier and safer.

[@richardhobbs8433]

Very useful thsnks

[@yurtsalon]

Great video! Maybe for future ones you can cut out ATC audio that isn’t for you (I found it kinda distracting)

[@ssairshows]

Thanks for watching the video! I am willing to bet someone will post a comment asking for MORE ATC audio...LOL😁

[@JustSayN2O]

J.L, I disagree because hearing ATC constantly speak with other airplanes is part of IFR flying so you must always be listening carefully since ATC will suddenly announce your N-number followed by rapid-fire instructions that you may not have been expecting.

[@EduardoGarciaKodiak]

Why is a Yellow Caution Light in the PFD?

[@IzzyFlys1]

Noticed that too for Standby Battery

[@ranjrog]

Nice job!!

[@ssairshows]

The standby battery was replaced the following week during the 100hr inspection. Would I have taken this plane up in IMC...NO. Did I have a tablet with an EFB app (Foreflight) and a Sentry plus with WAAS GPS for backup navigation should the entire G1000 system fail...YES, and I also have a handheld VHF radio in my flightbag and my cellphone in my pocket with the EFB app as well so I was perfectly comfortable flying this plane in VMC to make this video!

[@IzzyFlys1]

@@ssairshows how do you like the sentry with waas does it display GS on ForeFlight ?

[@ssairshows]

@@IzzyFlys1 No GS display in Foreflight. The Sentry Plus is a fantastic piece of tech, coupled with Foreflight it really makes flying safer and easier.

[@carimonteverde7980]

Nice video !!! But bellow my opinion

[@carimonteverde7980]

Excuse me Where is auto pilot On !! you do not used AP , Dont apperar VBAR!! The autopilot box is Black

[@1shARyn3]

STUDENTS should never use/have software that does the drudge work for them. That software is only for the experienced pilots. Students need to learn the hows and whys behind those planning stages

[@mauriceevans6546]

Students are not even flying steam gauges and aviation is absolutely moving away from 1980 technology and techniques. VORs r being phased out

[@doltoy]

@@mauriceevans6546 That's very true. At times it may be difficult for those of us who learned the "old ways" to realize that the "old ways" are being phased out. I for one don't miss flying with a paper chart flopping around on my lap.

[@mauriceevans6546]

@doltoy I do agree that it would be wise to carry those things as a back up, but aviation is moving so fast with technology, that it won't be long before general aviation planes are practically flying themselves from take off to landing. Scary!

[@thatkindasux]

You should have stopped by Power Flow Systems they are in Daytona Bch!
