Great video Mike and Karin! I learned to fly at KPYM and just passed my 100 hrs total time. This series is good timing for me. I would like to see more pre and post flight discussions, flight planning and a closer look at the avionics and autopilot while in flight.
Mark, Congrats on your 100Hours. Keep it up. We will absolutely be doing some more focused content on the avionics and also discussions. Thanks a bunch. MG
Howdy Mike, Thank you very much for these videos. I found them as I was brushing back up after 30 years of not flying to get ready to get my instrument rating. I loved rooting for you during the Red Bull Air Races and glad to find your channel I probably have 25-40 hours of IFR under the hood on steam-gauges, but hope to do both steam-gauges and glass panels as I go for my rating again.
That was fun watching you two at work. 'Teaching' your partner how to do anything can be tricky. Being airborne when you do it makes it even trickier. Great job both of you. Cheers-Ren
Mike, I love how much you emphasize standard procedures and risk management throughout this lesson with your wife. Especially the pre-takeoff briefing. There are some bits for your briefing I'm going to incorporate into my brief with students. Specifically the mention of required takeoff distance and available distance. I heard of you originally when you did an interview with Max Trescott on his podcast, then was so excited to see you perform last year at AirVenture. Thanks for everything you do for GA!!
I'm new to flying and to this channel. I've scheduled a discovery flight. Do you have info on ground school, how to pass the written knowledge test so when I choose a school or instructor I can just focus on the skills of flying? Also, do you have videos on how to fly an airplane (as a supplement) maneuvers, take, off landings, check ride etc? Thank you.
Thanks. We’ve kind of become attached to that song for the ending of the videos. It tends to put a smile on our faces!! These should be fun to watch after all.
Very nice video. Great departure brief. Could I suggest not passing along non standard phraseology such as using “point’ when identifying altitude and when climbing not to teach saying “For” but say climbing / descending.
Really enjoyed watching these videos and I hope when time allows you'll make 9 more! I'm glad I stumbled across your channel in my hunt for good intro's to IFR training. I'll echo the kudos here for how well you handle the instructor/student dynamic as spouses. Mike, your unruffled calm and your dry wit in the right seat make you a top-notch mentor, and Karin is certainly taking every challenge in admirable stride. I smiled through every lesson and I'm sorry the season is out of episodes for now. Lots of cross-over from that beautiful Cirrus/Garmin to my newly-finished kitplane and its experimental glass panel. Thanks for the pearls!
great video Mike . I hope to start flying the sr22 soon , I already rent / fly the sr20 G6 , the 22 seems to be a great XC plane .. 150 kts + is great .. hope to get back up to KPYM again sometime ..
@@mikegoulian keep taking the GoPros along on all future lessons , very educational and informative .. when you simulate yourself as the ATC and give Karin instructions altitude and heading is like my CFI did when I was training under the hood . A lot happens on IFR flights , and getting the student comfortable with all thats going on is key to a safe flight . well done .
Mike, Back in the old days at BED, I had a PA-30 i leased to your dad and Exec. Flyers, a fine fellow. Frank Comerford gave me the multi check ride, the main part of the ride was to land safely at TewMac! That was 1968. Maybe you were a twinkle in your dad's eye in that year.
I think we could do a Lomcevak.... once😂 Hope you like the IFR lessons in addition to the fun aerobatic stuff. Feel free to make any suggestions for future episodes.
Mike - excellent video. I’m just starting my IR training so will definitely be following along. Is the Hood your wife using the model with or without the nosepiece? Worth the $40?
With modern aircraft simulators and IFR simulators, I'd practice procedures on the ground and then put them to work in the airplane. Trying to learn strange, new concepts while maintaining flight is more difficult, makes it slower to learn and grasp concepts and more it's more expensive. That's my 2 cents.
Bruce, we have two Cirrus simulators in our company and use them extensively as every new skill or procedure is introduced during training. Both PPL and IFR training.
I'm more intimated by the radio. Bruh they speak too much. I know it's necessary but still...what are they talking about actually? And is the radio quality sound like it does to us or is it crystal clear in those headphones?
