FLY ALONG with a CFII on an ACTUAL IFR FLIGHT - PILOT! The Flight Chapters of the Ground School app

in this way we are literally mentally in front of the airplane all right I'm Jason Miller a full-time professional flight instructor on the finer points Channel you can join me as I bring you tips and tricks that I've learned from 20 years on the flight lines [Music] all right you guys I am so thrilled to announce that this coming Friday we are starting to release the flight chapters uh into our instrument course in the finer points Ground School app now what are the flight chapters you might ask this is where we actually pull it all together we show you in the airplane how I would fly an approach or how I would execute a hold or how I would fly a Point too scenario uh this is where I really feel like I can bring two decades of experience to bear and show you the finer points the things you don't get in any ordinary Ground School this is the stuff that takes us above and beyond and I'm going to show you an example here in this YouTube video so you can kind of see for yourself uh what kind of videos and and study questions and material is laid out in the flight chapters um so let's do that in just a moment you'll see me fly the rnav approach to Runway 30 at Half Moon Bay um all the way down to lpv minimums but we are putting all this stuff into the ground school app not just on the instrument side on the private side too scenarios if you haven't seen it get a free 3-day trial you can check out all the material in there both courses One Price written prep oral prep and all of this proficiency training that is contained in the flight chapters so anyway without any further Ado Let's Go Fly this Arnav Runway 30 approach into Half Moon Bay uh this kind of material this is what's hitting in our Ground School app Friday so make sure you get your trial and check it out all right you guys um we're going to first thing we're going to do when we're flying instruments here is slow down you know one of your six configurations is approach level that's just level at 90 knots when you have like 2100 RPM um that's a good one just slow down we're going to we're going to work to get in front of the airplane nothing makes that easier than actually slowing the machine down atc's got us at 4,000 and on a heading of 120 um always from the right seat I've got a little Parallax here but I'm doing my best to make sure that I'm flying heading one two 0 on the nose so here we are the first thing we're going to do we're we're being vectored so we don't have a next event let's get the approach loaded into the GPS though we're going to do that through the procedure key um on this Garmin 750 once you select procedure you can then select approach and then you can go ahead and just put in the airport Half Moon Bay that's the one we want uh we want the Arnav Runway 30 the GPS approach that's lpv and we're going to load it and activate it from uh from Jima all right let's see well we'll just activate it where it is and then we'll use the flight plan to go wherever we want which is direct Juma okay there we go that's the approach and that gives us some idea of what to expect I'm off my heading okay back to heading one 12 0 standard rate turn we're approach level configuration so we're just 90 knots which helps us stay in front of the airplane all right so we've got our approach loaded in there um let's go ahead and get the weather at Half Moon Bay so we are going to um just stay on this heading we're being vectored so now we're going to start to work on our A's the first one is AIS or Asos Mercury remarks use caution for aerobatic activity west and southwest of the airport over the water between 156,000 Ft procedures and Marine Sanctuary over restrictions are in effect okay now join the tiptoe visual 28 left airport two Zulu wind Z at four knots visibility ner Sky condition broken at 600 temperature 13 C 13 CI altimeter 2 ner ner ner in of Mercury remarks use caution for all right and we've got those remarks so remember you don't put that altimeter setting in yet it's 29er ner ner at the airport but we're still talking to to Tron so we're going to stay with whatever transponder code they have until we hear those magic words you're cleared for the approach that's Aus altimer turn left one left 1 528 okay standard rate turn left to one we'll use our inverted V nice standard rate everything's much easier here in your approach level configuration 90 knots there's one 0 almost went past that guy all right there it is all right so let's brief our approach now to help myself hold heading one0 I'm going to be holding up my Approach like this in a way that I I can see it um and also see the data that's critical all right so we're looking at the arav runway 30 Approach at Half Moon Bay it is a was approach let's verif that we have was on this GPS you go into the system status here you can see um from this page GPS status and then there's an sbas space-based augmentation system hit that button and you can see we do have was okay so we're good to go on the was we should see this terminal mode the linear scaling on our CDI here the terminal should go to lpv before we cross the Final Approach fix that'll be a second verification that we do in fact have loss all right the touchdown Zone elevation is 54 ft and the Final Approach course is 302 so it's to the Northwest well we already have our weather and we already have our Tron um but the Unicom of 122.8 is in the backup so that when we get handed off to the common traffic advisory frequency uh we won't have to twist it in all right the approach course is pretty straightforward we're picking it up at Juma and it's a straight line from there on in um we steep down from 3,800 at Juma 33 by Wy 20 and then all the way down to our minimum our decision altitude is 381 ft so how low is 381 how long is 381 and which way that is if we have to get out of there on the Mist is straight ahead to 4,000 uh and we have a GPS course to follow will take us to Lakey and then out to seams for the hold all right this approach has been briefed um so that is Adis altimeter approach briefing avionics let's think about it like we missed something we're shaking a tree where is that Apple going to fall okay so I got 122.8 that's my C I've got my Approach loaded I'm still waiting on my scaling my transponder looks good there's nothing I can do with Radio 2 I'm shaking that tree but I'm pretty sure my avionics are good all right so avionics and then airplane is the last thing we'll do before we cross the Final Approach fix let's just review the before landing checklist all right we have things like lights mixture um our pedo heat should always be on IFR so let's just keep that on the whole time whether or not we're in the clouds we do not want to try to remember when direct to direct J all right so I'm just going to hit from J cross jum 4,000 clear to Arnav Runway 3 0 half Bay okay cross jum 4,000 clear for the arav runway 3 0 half Bay 521 fo okay so because jumo was already in there and I had already loaded the approach all I had to do to go Direct jumo hit the direct button again and it remembers like what way point was in there so we just hit deactivate there we go we're turning direct Juma we have been cleared now that's where I'll put in 2 niner niner niner that's the altimeter you know at the airport and we were told to cross jum to 4,000 cleared for the approach so now we have an event in front of us right and we can start to think in front of the airplane Fox On The Go contact me on this frequency on the go we'll contact you on this frequency 5218 Fox TR so when we get to Juma it's a left turn to 302 there is no time the GPS should Auto twist we are going to power back to descend 3,300 ft and um there is no talk so when we get to Juma left to 302 down to 3,300 when we get to Jamba left to 302 down to 3,300 in this way we are literally mentally in front of the airplane all right we have our A's pretty much done we've got one more a before the Final Approach fix um so really it's just a matter of keeping up with what's now and what's next and flying this approach now you guys when you're in a situation like this where you've got a you know a large turn we're turning 90° unless it's a fly over way point you are meant to lead those terms okay so like you don't have to actually cross like If This Were a VR you wouldn't have to actually cross it before you started the turn and as a in you know GPS the same same thing is true you want to lead this turn just a little bit now every now and again like on missed approaches they'll have a fly over Waypoint and you'll know the difference because the icon will be circled there is traffic between you and half change to advisory frequency is approved okay change to advisory 52 Fox all right so I'm going to lead this turn a little bit I'm going to go ahead and switch to advisory I'll give them some um you know generic call again I don't really think there's many people out there today being that it's you know IFR down at the airport but on most days there's VFR and IFR traffic out here so uh let's first do our stuff here so we're we're always going to um Talk last we're going to aviate navigate communicate so we made this turn let's execute the two things so it's um we're going to go right back to 1800 because we're already at 90 knots and you guys know from your configurations that 1800 should get us 90 knots and 500 ft per minute and I'm turning 302 go back and get that needle there 30 2 so it's left turn to 302 down to 3,300 we're in a turn so I can't really check my uh Compass to my heading indicator but the pressure is good temperature's good vacuum's good amps are good lights are where we want them I'll enrich the mixture just a little bit and go ahead and run that uh checklist I'm going to turn further than 302 by the way also to get this needle so I'm going to go maybe 2 ner 2 Niner Z I really want that back I don't want to see that get any further toward the wall over there all right uh descent checklist fuel power mixture systems checklist is complete all right so now we have another event in front of us which is woy that's the Final Approach fix so when we get to woy there is no turn there is no time there is no twist we will Throttle Down to 2020 there is no talk so when we get to woy really we just have to get the A's done and we have to um Throttle Down to 2020 all right so again we mentally in front of the airplane I think we were going to call Half Moon Bay so let's just kind of figure out where we are Wy the I'm looking at the along track distance of my profile view here woy appears to be about 3.4 3.47 8 miles out really all right so we're at least we're about 10 miles out here um ballparking it halfon Bay traffic Skyhawk 5218 Fox Trot 1 miles to the southeast inbound on the Arnav Runway 30 approach 300 300 ft Half Moon Bay all right so I kind of give them a little bit of um VFR information and IFR information right I tell them I'm 10 miles Southeast of the airport 3,300 that's for the VFR people and then throw in that I'm on the Arnav Runway 30 approach for the for the IFR people just in case someone knows what that is all right again we're thinking in front of the airplane uh by the way we're level here so let's just run another flow check cuz this will be a great chance to look at our turn coordinator make sure there's no turn happening up there set our heading indicator to our magnetic compass pressure temperature vacuum amps are all good lights are where we want them mixtures looking good fuel's where we want it and let's just go ahead and run that cruise checklist power mixture systems heading indicator checklist complete all right you guys we should be flying our approach level configuration here we're thinking in front of the airplane so when we get to woy there is no turn there is no time there is no twist we Throttle Down to 20220 and there is no talk so um guess we're ready to run our last a which is the before landing stuff so um carburetor heat there isn't any gas on the right tank it's on both under Carriage down and welded mixture uh we're just going to go full Rich here is not something I would normally do this far out but uh seeing that we're going to be so busy flying this instrument approach and it's really easy to forget things like gear and mixture whatever ever I'm going to accept the last 6 minutes of this flight as something that might be a little on the rich side all right there's our Glide path and we know now being that we're at 90 knots we just power back to about 1,800 pitch down so that we see 500 ft per minute on the vsi and uh that should hold our Glide path okay that's our woly stuff we did the last a we started this descent let's go ahead and run a flow check okay heading indicator looks good pressure temperature vac vacum amps lights mixture fuel all that stuff is good descent checklist fuel power mixture engine instruments checklist complete remember that when you're when you're quote flying needles like this or using needles for navigation that it's super important that you control the airplane first and then measure the effect of that control on the needles themselves right so um looks like our heading is fine if I can just hold that heading then looks like our vertical needle is holding our course um by the way uh crossing the Final Approach fix we had to see this lpv okay I didn't call it out I should have called it out before the Final Approach fixed but if you don't see that you do have to initiate a missed approach looks like 500 ft per minute and 90 knots is holding our vertical guidance and it looks like the heading that we have set is holding our lateral guidance let's think ahead of the airplane for mavic okay when we get to mavic there is no turn there is no time there there is no twist we're going to throttle down all the way to the decision altitude or just follow the Glide path and verify that we're up 20120 and there is no talk um we'll just keep reporting to Half Moon Bay let's see how far out is mavic is 3.4 is about 4 miles out half Bay traffic Skyhawk 5218 Fox trout approximately 4 miles Southeast to 2400 descending inbound on the Arnav Runway 30 approach Half Moon Bay cool now something I haven't been talking about which is you know really cool about GPS flying is this little uh I call it the noodle the thing that sticks out in front of your airplane different people different companies or avionics manufacturers will call it different things a Precision path indicator whatever the idea is that's where your airplane is going to be in some prescribed amount of time usually available in the settings like in the next minute or next minute and a half that's where my airplane's going to be and when you're trying to figure out the heading that's going to hold your of course I mean that noodle it it's kind of like cheating I mean all you really have to do is put the needle on the pink line and then note The Heading and hold it right because that is literally where your airplane is going to be so really cool stuff when it comes to GPS we've got this you know these enunciators that show us that we're scaling uh more and more precisely as we get closer to the field we've got little things like this Precision path indicator or noodle or whatever it's called on the device you're using showing you where the airplane is going to be helping you figure out wind correction angles pretty cool stuff half Bay traffic Skyhawk 5218 Fox TR approximately 2 miles Southeast 1,500 uh inbound rnap 30 approach H Bay don't accept any amount under the Glide path you see that you see how fast that recovered with pitch that's part of the reason we consider like when we think about this configuration we think about pitching for vertical speed and powering for air speed is because of those immediate responses in pitch in a light airplane like this now it might be different if you're flying something big and heavy like you know a dc10 or something with a lot of inertia you might think about that slightly differently but for light airplane flying that is the way to fly the Glide path all right you guys remember we are ready for the Mist we know how low is 381 how long is 381 which way is Straight Ahead 4,000 and then we just want to be like Johnny on the spot here so we're going to call out altitudes every 100 ft as we go down so we are 1,000 descending 381 we are 900 descending 381 800 descending 381 700 descending 3 81 600 descending 381 500 descending 381 400 and there is the runway my friends that was perfect all right but look we're going to go on missed approach here because we're practicing uh but we could land this is where I'd go power to idle and start to put my Flaps in there's plenty of Runway down there to make all that work so in any case halfon Bay traffic Skyhawk 5218 Fox Trot is uh on the Mist approach Arnav Runway 30 approach uh Half Moon Bay so here we are in a climb now we transition to uh it's a kind a cruise climb here we're not going to go all the way to Vy but I'm holding my site picture doing my radial scan and running my climb checklist 30 there it is pressure temperature vacuum amps all looking good lights are where we want them power and mixture and the climb throttle mixture heading systems checklist complete noral departure Skyhawk 5218 Fox 1 ,300 M approach Half Moon Bay 5218 North appr ident San Francisco 2997 2 28 Fox8 Fox TR radar contact streen L to the northwest of the half a report out of 1,400 all right aviators that's all for this episode of the finer points make sure you get a free three-day trial of the ground school app uh those flight chapters will be coming starting this Friday and then every Friday after that we'll be adding more and more content until we are satisfied that we have everything we want to show you in the app there um also remember there's a webinar coming up a free webinar Tuesday the 21st that's uh in just a few days RH from the opposing bases podcast is going to share some of his experiences as both the pilot and a former air traffic controller I can't wait to sit down and talk to RH again uh if you haven't seen that you can register free uh just hit the link in the description and I hope that we see you there also remember leave a comment below if there's a video you'd like to see hit the like button subscribe to the channel hit that little notifications Bell but most importantly until I see you again be safe fly your best [Music]
