FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

@DCGULL01 4 года назад

Wow, I don't think I realized just how integrated ILS & AP could be. That was amazing, and, pilot load was virtually nil. It took more effort to describe its capability than to fly the plane. Granted, the whole flight WAS VFR, allowing for serious comfort for both PIC & cinematographer (pilot!) AND a Skylane is a pretty stable craft (weigh/flow/design) with a fat safe envelope creating a level of ease (watching). But, even with a low blood pressure teacher, the in depth explanation of what & why each step was done, the actual 'flight time' was exceptionally brief & uneventful. I really loved the suspend time at hitting the waypoints- wow, that is pretty awesome that it 'knows' to leave some space to grab the line! one onethousand, two onethousand, three onethousand....TURN NOW! I've watched experienced pilots struggle harder with less integrated systems and more complex craft, so- I was ready (napkin in hand, actually) for a 30 minute sweat fest! THAT WAS AWESOME!

@nickbike 4 года назад

David, they weren't doing an ILS approach, they were doing an RNAV GPS to LPV minimums. But if they were doing an ILS approach it would do the exact same thing! When they select the approach in the GTN 650, it'll tune the NAV radio to the correct frequency. You'd just have to identify it with the morse code and you'd be good to go.

@DCGULL01 4 года назад

@@nickbike Sorry, the excitement of the moment. EXTREMELY cool RNAV GPS system!!! One definitely needs to know: what, when & how you give the system data (flight levels at waypoints at transition to pattern entry) but, since there is such reduced pilot load if it doesn't happen, you could correct it (program) and/or hand fly it re-engage. Great teacher, great system & good video. Length was needed to show the complexity of data input & how to adjust.

@gaconnect 4 года назад

"The autopilot VS/IAS wheel should be considered as a trim!" That is a eureka moment for me. It finally makes sense as it previously felt counter-intuitive! Thank you for making us better pilots. Greetings from Europe

@farayidarlingtonchaparadza20 4 года назад

Before attempting to use automation especially in inclement weather, it is essential to understand the system logic, I agree with Denis 100%. I like his teaching method, hands on, calm but very effective. I loved the analogy between the vertical speed dial and trim wheel, brilliant! Great video 👍

@mckaylundtuttle7962 4 года назад

Instrument check ride was completed today for me 👍🏼

@nickbike 4 года назад

Quick comment about canceling IFR. Dennis explains it well saying that if there's no chance that a cloud will obscure your approach then cancel. Chops comes back with, "what if you have to overshoot/ do a missed approach?" Great question! The answer here is that if the ceilings are high enough to do VFR laps in the pattern, then you are fine to cancel. If you are canceling IFR that far out, the ceiling should be high enough that you won't do the publish missed if you have to go around due to a bulked landing. You'd just go into the VFR traffic pattern.

@marcs990 4 года назад

Excellent video explaining the true pros and cons of automated flight. I loved what he said “ if u have a robot flying your aircraft, u need to know how to turn the robot off” I’m gonna remember that one. Auto pilot is an excellent safety feature and this describes exactly how is should be looked upon and used. Very wise man. Thank you flightchops for a video that will certainly aid the aviation community 👍👍🇬🇧

@alterrex6921 4 года назад

You can tell Dennis is a CFI, a total professional, that's the difference between him and Osama. Dennis teaches and encourages. I sense a bit of attitude or frustration when you're learning something new and I've noticed it in a few videos. Relax and enjoy these opportunities that you're fortunate enough to have. Good vid!

@FlightChops 4 года назад

I definitely wouldn’t describe myself as having an attitude, but I am definitely frustrated. Dennis is helping me get through it, but my schedule is not favorable for any sort of focused training, so the IFR road has been a hard one for me

@cirruscapo 4 года назад

I love listening to Dennis speak about how the change in avionics, which required changes in the servos, etc... When I saw this was 32 minutes+, I was afraid this might be a bit boring, but I found it very interesting because of the commentary from Dennis...

@AV8R_1 3 года назад

Awesome! I like watching you learn Steve, because you seem to think a lot like me in the training environment. You see the small differences between what you’re taught and expected to do on a check flight, and what you might be doing in the real world, and you’re smart enough to be skeptical and inquire about which is right. Dennis is a fantastic instructor and does a great job explaining the hows and whys. Especially the whys of certain procedures or timing of procedures. He’s good at not only telling you what you need to do, but why you need to do it, and why you need to do it the way that you do it. This is an area I’ve seen a lot of instructors fall short. They are really good at telling you what you need to do, but not so good at telling you why. So when what you need to do conflicts with something else you need to do it can create points of confusion. But Dennis shows you the common sense approach to why you need to do what you’re doing. I hope this comment made sense. Lol!! Nice work!!!

@BB992 4 года назад

@colinwallace5286 3 года назад

While the driver in me says “where’s the fun in that?”, the husband/dad/friend in me realizes that “get-there-itis” seems to result from those flights where you are going “somewhere” for some particular purpose or event, adding a few stressors to that pending “helmet fire”(love his terminology, it’s memorable). That’s where the glass panel and automation shine. I like the approach of going clean-slate on the upgrade. Someone like Mike Patey is the person you want sorting out your wiring. OCD on correct and pretty is always good in machines you depend on. Another great video, Steve.👍👍

Dennis is such a good teacher. My double I taught me no more than 10 degrees of flaps in a C172 on an instrument approach and not even to add more flap when the runway environment is in sight (to avoid unstabilizing the approach). Probably different in the faster 182.

@rvrnnr987 Год назад

I've started flying again after walking away from aviation almost 100% for ...22 years... I find your videos to be really interesting because they are all like me -- learning as you go. And especially this one: I've described it to my friends like going into a comma, then waking up 22 years later. The 'bike riding' is the same, but I've woken up in the future with flat panels and GPS. I'm trying to film as much as I can as I go so that I can learn and relearn as I go. Good stuff.

I've been flying IFR since 1972 and in 2005 I bought a Grumman Tiger and completely upgraded the automation to the same level as this 182. Anyone wondering if it is worth the money to upgrade, the increase in safety and my comfort level was well worth the $30K it cost for the 3 axis autopilot, WAAS GPS capability, etc. Approaches to minimums changed from high anxiety to feeling like I was the second pilot ensuring the pilot flying (the autopilot) was on track. It truly changed my flying life. Go for it! And Steve, the length of the video is perfect and, as usual, you have an amazing knack for producing useful content that is an absolute joy to watch!

@odyssey19zp 4 года назад

I have a 182Q with the same setup (GTN650 - G5 - JPI 830) except my autopilot is a Stec 55X. I've been searching for the ideal power/flap settings during my approaches. You're flying the approach at 21" of MP then once the autopilot intercepts the G/S you immediately reduce RPM to 1800 and add 10 degrees of flaps, speed drops into the white arc and you add 20 degrees of flaps until the runway is made. I have done about 60 approaches with this setup but I am looking forward to giving your settings a try. BTW - there is so much you can do with the Garmin panel especially when using Connext and an iPad - One of my favorites is how the iPad and GTN650 transfer flight plans and changes back and forth to each other. It really compliments the C182, I just can't stop flying the darn thing. Thanks for the great video!
