I followed my own advice working toward an upgrade instead of just the minimal required IPC, and got humbled.
Huge thanks Luke for his time and energy on this.

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 20 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 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.

I really like what the instructor said at the beginning, "An instrument rating is not an achievement, it's a commitment".

@flyingfox8360 День назад

I flew into IMC for the first time back on Tuesday night, I had my instructor with me who holds his double I and we decided to go fly and if we had to grab a hotel at our XC airport we would. It was a wild experience, the first cloud i ever flew through i actually flinched when we punched into it. Then the wild feeling of what all my sensory input is saying is happening and what the instruments say is actually happening is such a crazy phenomenon that is impossible to convey to someone who hasnt experienced it. I know from what i was told by hundreds of other pilots either in person who i know, or on aviation subreddits or forums, I thought i knew what to expect, but when i actually flew into it there was nothing anyone could have said to prepare me for what i experienced. Great job documenting the humility it takes to learn the craft even with as much time as you have flying. When we stop learning and get complacent is when things get dangerous.

To anyone watching this video: Please, please, please do not go below minimums - even in an emergency! Love your videos!

I'm doing my instrument right now, I've never felt my brain go so slow in my life. Multi is just unimaginable for me.

Tecnams are horrible mutlis. underpowerered, no single engine performance, and maintenance nightmares.

Good job for sharing this experience. Retired U.S. Navy pilot here. Many flight-related evolutions are perishable skills which if not regularly practiced, quickly degrade. We were required to fly specified amount of flight hours per month, landings, night time, air refueling, etc. to maintain proficiency. This system and focus on proficiency works very well and the Navy has a very good safety record especially considering the mission. Not staying proficient is very risky for pilots and their passengers. I’ll end with a quick story. While flying a training mission in Northern California near dusk, I heard a civilian pilot request vectors to a small airport. The controller informed him it had been closed for several months and asked the pilot’s intentions. He was unaware of the closure, low on fuel, and had his family onboard. He further stated that although he was instrument rated, he was not comfortable flying at night and needed to get on the ground. I coordinated with ATC which switched me to a remote frequency. I was able to intercept the pilot in duress and escort him to another airfield where he was able to safely land. ‘Nuff said….

Anyone else watch the 4 split screen four times to see each video’s perspective on the landing?

Just keep in mind with that single engine missed approach, your instructor said it's an emergency and go below mins anyway. That is only true if your airplane doesn't have the single-engine performance to climb, like most piston twins. However that's not the case for turbine twins, you have plenty of single-engine performance to go back up and try again or go to your alternate.

I’ve been working on my multi engine and multi IFR simultaneously and we flew 1.5 hours in total IMC in a 310. I couldn’t believe how mentally taxing it is. We flew at 11000 and dealt with icing which was crazy

When your mentor is quiet and gives you one word answers....It was at that time, you know you've F'ed up...back on the horse, you got this!

@ivorevans1795 День назад

So good of you to share these Steve. Thousands and thousands of pilots benefiting massively I have no doubt. Great great work!

@TriumphDoc 21 час назад

Thank you Steve for your contributions to aviation. Priceless your level of honesty and humility and vulnerability. Let’s us all know we’re mortal and to be vigilant about how difficult and dangerous IFR flying can be, especially single pilot in a twin. There is a lot of shit going on and it’s very easy to get way behind the airplane.

@jackkrueger4150 День назад

Mad respect for how you handle everything in flight and how honest you are in the videos. I started to get a little ill myself listening you talking about "it feels like we're in a descending right turn" and getting rattled by the turbulence. Made me remember knocking out all of the IMC time required for Private in one sitting. That was a looong flight for a 20 hour pilot.

@ChrisB257 21 час назад

Kudos Steve - so many folks regard IFR as 'just another technique' and yet as you show, way more to it! Plenty of stress. :)

Took the “accelerated” commercial multi in a Tecnam

Excellent and thorough as always! Great job Steve. Thank you for sharing. Always learning. Love it.

Thanks for sharing this Steve, this was helpful for me as I start in to my IFR training..

@OldCessnaSkylaneGuy День назад

Great content (again) and even better, great humility (again). Thanks for being honest and keeping the lessons real.

Great video. Safe travels

@theflyingfool День назад

I have a wry smile on my face at the end of this video, 'cos you seem to beat yourself up the same as I do when something isn't right. The chasm of difference though is that I'm barely 100hrs P1 and still in nappies!
