Visual Approach Explained | Contact Approach | IFR Training 

Another excellent explanation in less than 10 minutes that makes a whole lot of sense. Keeping it simple and thanks for the videos.

love your videos, using them to brush up IFR for my CFII checkride this month. Keep up the fantastic work!

Any chance you could make a video detailing Contact Approaches a bit more? I get the idea behind them, but a bit more info wouldn't hurt. Thanks, big fan!

What a coincidence that I left a comment about contact approaches on a different video before seeing this one. A contact approach is a very useful clearance when you can't get a visual becuse the airport is reporting prevailing vis just below VFR mins, but you have sufficient visibility in your piece of the sky to spot the airport and arrive visually. I would not plan on such an arrival in lieu of an instrument approach, but when you cannot fly the instrument approach due circumstances such as a thunderstorm over the FAF, a contact approach can allow you to deviate around the weather and arrive safely.

Your videos helped me Immensely in passing my IRA knowledge test yesterday. Such a high quality videos with amazing explanation of concepts. Thank you 🙏🏻

Great video explaining the real life scenarios of a visual approach. I haven't gotten one yet but we will see as I get more IFR flights under my belt.

Excellent video! I can tell you spent lots of time finding the perfect examples for these subjects to include all the "gotchas" and unique aspects of visual/contact approaches (other traffic on straight in to 24L, river visual procedure, and highway that leads to airport). I learned that for a contact approach, your destination simply has to have an instrument approach, and you don't necessarily have to be near it or load it up. Contact approach basically like Special VFR while on an IFR flight plan. Great video, as always

You are the Best! 👍🏼 Excellent information! 😎 Please keep doing it!🙏🏼

Thank you for theses videos. I'm not a pilot though I do have an interest in flight simulation where procedures and requirements can be ignored in safety - particularly coms and ATC. You have a great skill in illustrating and explaining every thing about how things are done and why they are necessary and make it very interesting. Thanks agai.

I really appreciate your videos bud. We'll explained

Great Video. Thanks

Thanks very much. I’m new to the GA world and it is extremely helpful how you superimpose the aircraft symbol on the landing plates and charts. It’s a little thing, but for a newbie, it makes a huge difference. Learned a great deal in this short video.

Once you’re cleared for the visual, should you expect further vectors or instructions from atc or are you able to navigate as you wish visually?

Great vid they way I know I won’t land on the wrong airport i keep the fp opening some pilots delete the plan when they hear visual approach

Instrument checkride is just around the corner, and these are so great as I prepare. Thank you FI!

What an awesome video!!!

Good Info!

Cool video! LNN where your plane was at the very beginning of the video is my home airport.

If possible, I always like programming in the ILS approach for guidance, even if it is a visual.

Used the contact appch often in Northern Canada. The definition of legal vs wise

Another awesome video! Just recently flew the Quiet Bridge Visual into 28R at SFO. Approach asked 180kts to 5 mi final….able to pull that off in my Cirrus 😀

5:36 Great video as always; I’d just point out that this exact scenario of a large or heavy traffic overtaking small could easily lead to wake turbulence upset, given how the runways are laid out.

Thank you for all this information but is good for flight simulator 2020 to use it and the ho I will do like download every airport division

Great Show FI, ur videos are informative and explained with such great presentation.... Could also do a video about Circling Approach Explained (Example : VOR RWY09(Circling), emphasis on Circling / VM(C). Also about nomenclature of Z,Y,X on Approach Plates (Example VOR 'Z' Rwy 09 or say VOR 'Y' RWY 09)

IN IFR YOU HAVE TO CHNGE RADIO TO FACILITY RADIO? IN CAT II NO CONTACT WITH GROUNDCREW IS REQUIRED FOR TAXI?

It is a very good

What plane is that from the msfs?

Great videos. I didn’t understand why you use 1,000 feet and 3SM as the VFR definition towards the beginning of this one.

Good topic. If ATC initiated the visual approach might want to clarify the pilot may choose to reject it and fly the published approach.

What is the difference between instrument runway and non instrument runway

If I fly the ILS needles during a visual approach can I log it toward my IFR recency requirements?

The visual or non-visual approach thing is confusing to a low time IFR pilot like myself. At my busy downtown airport, its common for them to decline a practice IFR approach due to traffic. However, they don't then also require a pattern, usually. So I go ahead and fly the approach just as the plate depicts and there is no issue. So why did they decline the practice approach? No idea.

THE DME IS ENR: ILS?

So, the difference btw contact and visual approach it’s only visibility ?

Why would the aircraft need to maintain visual separation with the aircraft on the parallel? Is it because the runways are really close together?

ENR: ILS?

Hello. I am a student pilot. I have a question. Which simulator is this?

IN ICAO TERMS YOU NEED TO HAVE PASSIVE ACTIVE APPROACH SO ;ILS, ILS, ILS;

ATC MAY MOVE YOU INTO THE ALT MINIMUM FINALLY?

dam, how many dunkin donuts do you have in your neighborhood..?
