Which Standard Instrument Departure (SID) for an IFR flight?

[@747FoSophie]

It's nice to have someone that does all that planning for routes I fly.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

How often does a flight crew need to make changes to those plans? Is it a big deal when you do?

[@747FoSophie]

@@TheFlyingSalesman After the weather brief if something doesn't look right the captain will call dispatch and they jointly decide. Then the whole flight plan gets refiled. It doesn't often get changed in the air except for shortcuts.

I like the set up of your cockpit. Thank you for this new video. You also makes us a better pilot too. Fly Safe always

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Thanks a lot!

[@waynelakey6573]

I have to say I have enjoyed your videos which helps me in my learning! Thank you from Canada

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Thank you for watching! Let me know if there is something you want to see.

[@billgalante1181]

Thanks for such great flight, I really enjoyed the sid departure out of DFW area. Really busy!😊😊

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Yes it was, thanks for coming along!

[@shinc4054]

Thanks again for filming, the tower frequencies being much busier and less slower communication the farther you get away is obvious but I have never really planned for it, appreciate those small details 👍🏽

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

That is the biggest thing that I had to learn, patience. There are very few times we HAVE to be in a hurry. And then we usually miss something.

[@ericm333]

I’m loving and enjoying your content. Thanks for sharing

Enjoyed the flight, especially the departure out of the DFW area.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Perfect! Thanks for coming along!

[@njbpaul]

Thanks for posting . I'm learning some IFR flying whilst working on my PPL . keep them coming.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Will do! Keep learning...

[@njbpaul]

@@TheFlyingSalesman yes Sir

[@radioace318la]

Thanks for the ride-a-long. I've made that same approach many times in one of Ray Harvey's (Lucien Fiels) or Jim Walker's (FAA Check Pilot at Air America) rental planes. Even had to make a night landing with no runway lights due to the fact 32/14 was closed because a local building contractor had landed his Bonanza gear up on 14. He walked away from the plane unscathed.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Eeesh! That stinks all the way around.

[@berniebrown9115]

Thanks for the flight

[@cademoody8891]

Love the videos I trained out of KDTO for my instrument. I’ll be at Oshkosh all week so I’ll see if I can find you.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

@@cademoody8891 I am easy to find, Hangar A, center aisle just inside the door and right next to Whelen. Aero-Mach Wilco booth.

[@boogerwood]

I definitely enjoyed these IFR flights. But then again I’m about to do my instrument. I think that’s how I found your channel. Specifically, I love when you go into detail about how you plan. Just helps to see how other real pilots do it. Also, have to laugh because youriPhone that is providing dash camera footage, looks like it’s being shot out of the 1960s.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

HA! Well some great compliments and then the downer about the iPhone, LOL. I will confess I am an #Avgeek first and videographer second. I will work on it though. I have two more IFR videos coming up you might find helpful. I drop one video per week at 3 PM CST so look out for those.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

That’s 3pm Sundays.

[@chuckgibbons9731]

For a turbo 210 you seem to fly the lower altitudes and I noticed you prefer switching your fuel tanks! I found it easier to use the both selection avoiding an unbalanced problem!

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

@@chuckgibbons9731 I pick the altitude based on winds and distance. I prefer to go higher but it is not always feasible. On the T210M, there is not an option for “both”. Left off Right is what it has. I burn 30 min on one side and then 1-hour back and forth (usually).

[@aviatortrucker6285]

Try cruising at 29 inches, 2300 RPM and 90 pounds per hour. See what kind of true airspeed you get. That is a lot easier on your engine with less lead issues and your cylinder head temperatures should be cooler. One other thing is to close the cowl flaps completely in cruise. Just curious to see what your parameters would wind up as.

[@brianteer]

Hi Matt. I’m low time private pilot and I’m working on my instrument rating. I’m based out of HDC and I fly a 182s. Your videos are helpful to me… keep ‘em coming.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Thanks @brianteer! I appreciate you coming along. The next two videos for sure are instrument related.

[@brianteer]

@@TheFlyingSalesman Great! I’ll be following along

[@JCON631]

Great flight! Regarding radio communication, have you ever experienced confusion with the phrase " 6048N 7,200 climbing FOR niner thousand"? I noticed it's your usual phraseology when checking in when climbing or descending.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

I personally have not experienced any confusion. I understand that NOT using "For" is better. I am working to break the habit but I have had it a LONG time. As I understand it, there is more likely to be confusion outside of the US vs inside where I fly.

[@JCON631]

@@TheFlyingSalesman Thanks for taking the time to reply. Well, the Louisianna (among other places) "FOR" sounds like "FER." So here in the NE corridor, it's clearly different than "FOUR," and you'd be fine. 🙂 Again, I love the channel and look forward to catching up on what I've missed and seeing new stuff. Keep the shiny side up!

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

@@JCON631 I will keep that in mind, maybe I should start a "for" jar, like the ole swear jar! LOL

[@PilotDiggerdavid]

Hey, I just found you and I’ve been watching your videos. I’m heading to Oshkosh on Tuesday hooking up with Cherokee to Oshkosh and will be there on Friday probably through Thursday. Maybe we can see each other.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Absolutely, I will be in Hangar A, booth 1089 right next to Whelen Aerospace Technology, I am most likely the tallest guy in the room, hard to miss. Stop by and grab a TFS tool box sticker. Have a safe flight!

[@Brianflys]

Another excellent video. Like the shorter ground segment, but you already have a long one to refer people. Question: You are on an IFR flight, but it looks like you have a VFR chart in the tablet on the copilot yoke. Why not the IFR low altitude enroute chart?

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Great question, i have been waiting for someone to notice. I use both and when it is VMC I like having the sectional up because it shows more airports the lakes highways and towns. It gives me more info and I am very rarely on victor airways.

[@jackbrainassociates8806]

Great video as always! Do you ever cruse higher? My 210 loves the flight levels I see 200 TAS up there.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

Absolutely! Mine does too, I just gauge my altitude based on winds and distance.

[@aviatortrucker6285]

I noticed that the SID had a designated altitude of 10,000 feet. You were never assigned or flew that altitude. Another thing to note is that you were vectored a lot of the route instead of just flying as published. What is the purpose of a SID if they’re going to vector you anyway. maybe you should’ve just filed direct, no?

[@mustangaviation8882]

Thank you for your content! I was curious what app you use to edit your videos?

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

I use lightworks to edit. I. Chose it because it was supposed to be good for beginners. If I were to make a recommendation, go ahead and learn premier pro because so many people are using it, you can collaborate on new techniques.

[@mustangaviation8882]

@@TheFlyingSalesman Thank you! One last quick question. How do you keep your cameras charged? My GoPro battery dies after 45 minutes. Are you simply plugging your camera into a portable charger?

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

@@mustangaviation8882 I use an Anker power bank on extended flights. I also have extra batteries if needed.

[@holylee30]

Where do you run up in a big airport? hold short line?

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

@@holylee30 it depends on the airport. If ground control does not direct you to a specific place, then it is at the approach end, but not the hold short line. I may get close but will leave my self enough room to 180 out if the run up reveals something that scrubs the flight. What is your preference?

[@mortonrobinson6408]

When a controller says “ climb and maintain niner thousand”, it is ambiguous to reply “ up 29 thousand”. We 16:23 do stuff like that a lot. It works most of the time in the USA, but probably would not work very well and many other countries. It’s just not quite correct.

[@TheFlyingSalesman]

@@mortonrobinson6408 you are correct. I am working on changing but the old ways stick with me. Thanks for coming along and reaching out. I appreciate it v
