Great video! I very much like that you included two "brief the approach" segments. I got my instrument rating in 2010, and I don't know if it was my instructor, or the school, or what, but briefing the approach out loud just wasn't a thing. Since then, I've had instructors ask me why I wasn't doing it. So I've kind of put together a way to do it, but it's useful to hear someone else do it out loud (and the graphics on top of the approach plate are useful too). Your student did a fantastic job flying it too! My needles aren't always that centered when I fly stuff. And for those who don't know, doing both the ILS and the step-down-style Localizer is useful to see too.
You should really time from FAF on a non precision and even on a precision in case you lose a component. You can use DME in lieu of timing but if it goes out while shooting the approach you don’t have a backup without timing. I can’t remember without watching the video back if we timed it or not haha
Does your school do any accelerated type program for singe engine commercial rating? I have almost all the requirements except for the complex time. Would like to knock it out in a short period of time.
When you're riding as CFI, you get to log pilot-in-command time. On the other hand, it's your ticket on the line if the student commits a violation or bends the airplane, so I guess that evens out. :-)
Try ASA Overcasters as view limiter with sunglasses. The just flip up or down when needed and are much easier to use than foggles over sunglasses. Inexpensive too. Nice vid !!
I'm working on getting my CFII rating, just finished the written test. Could you give me a run down on what your CFII checkride was like? Thanks, Derrick.
Ok...your "Welcome to the Sky" was just wrong!! LMAO! I'm planning to be in that area on Feb 23. Any chance of getting a flight with you? I'm working on my Instrument rating and would love to shoot an approach or two with you.
LewDix Aviation I will actually be passing thru. Driving from Sarasota to I95 and then headed north to Myrtle Beach. Planning to leave early in the am and would be in your area probably around 9am.
