Troy is a great communicator. Precision flying by the "crew".

I have flown with Troy before. He is a super professional pilot. Also he has the voice of God.

😂 thanks Bryan.

I love IMC. And this is an example of why I was taught to remain skeptical on an approach that you'll get in, and assume you'll go missed. Psychologically it relieves the burden of making a decision so to speak, and procedurally it forces you to be ready before you begin the missed approach (not only to brief, but frequencies of any navaids already on standby). The funny thing is one of my lowest approaches was not indicated as such on the METARS just as I was beginning the descent. There was a ball of moisture sitting just over Martha's Vineyard as I was coming in, and a Jet Blue 737 was coming in first. I knew I would be using the procedure to descend but the METAR (which was old) indicated marginal conditions. Needless to say there was about a 400' solid ceiling above the airport (100' above minimums for the procedure) when I was cleared on the approach, but because the METAR only reported that as scattered at that level I had no idea how low it was going to be once everything turned grey and rainy/misty. But I went in with the mentality of assuming I wouldn't make it down, that I would have to return to the mainland where the weather was VFR, but ultimately I made it in and it was nice and clear after the cloud deck was penetrated. After I shut down I looked at the METAR again on Foreflight and it had changed of course to low-IFR/light pink, to which I exclaimed aloud, "no s*%t." ;).

The decision to work that as a crew, and the way you worked together was excellent. Well-flown, well-crewed, nicely done.

Excellent video and flying procedures. Two guys up front...use them. Dividing up tasks eases the stress on the one focused on the gauges. Retired USAF HC & WC-130 and T-39 pilot. Miss it every day. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next one.

Was a pleasure to watch two VERY skilled pilots doing what they do!

Winter in Texas......70 during the day, 50 and fog to the ground that night, 38 and clear the next morning.......great job!

The absolute best IFR, down to minimums (100') vid ever. That would have been tough for a single pilot.

Excellent CRM, I love how you apply airline principles and philosophies to GA - you and your team are making the skies a safer place to be, one video at a time!

Definitely a difference in being current vs. being proficient in an approach like this one. Well done!

Josh, best video of yours so far. As a PPL almost ready for my instrument, this was a perfect example of flying in IMC right down to minimums, when almost all of my 40plus IFR hours are under the foggles. You are spot on - having a second instrument-rated pilot in the right seat is priceless. Thanks for sharing this one!

As a low time pilot I very much appreciated you posting this

This video is the embodiment of what I hope to do when I start aviation. Flawless radio work (callsigns aside), professionalism in the cockpit, and using it for a good cause.

The cinematography and color grading is truly something else Josh. I sincerely enjoy watching your videos! What's the best way to get in contact with you?

Absolutely incredible Josh! Loved seeing you two working together and was able to learn a lot watching the way you guys work! Thanks for sharing!

Very cool to see an approach as low as this handled as smoothly and cooperatively as you guys did! I'm looking forward to the full-length on Cockpit Club!

This one going down as one of my favorite vlogs of yours. High intensity approach (was literally grabbing my arm rests on short final). Awesome communication between the two of you, the CRM was without a doubt first class, textbook, airline standards if I may say. You're a hell of a mentor to me and hundreds of thousands of other pilots. Stay safe my friend.

Thanks Josh. Real and intense aviation. Excellent job capturing it.

Great video, I’m glad you decided film this flight it has already become one of my favorites.

Awesome video! I'm glad to see dedicated pilots like you sharing experiences with professionalism. Greetings from Costa Rica. Keep up the excellent work!

I really value and appreciate when you include videos like this one. You have valuable experience to communicate to us newbies.

Great video...content and camera work are super...one of best IFR approaches I've seen...I would be proud to fly with you both...learned a lot...well done!!

I appreciate you both being honest about how tense, for lack of better term, that approach was. Obviously you both did a wonderful job flying but you could see the relief on your faces when you two were in the hangar. For a low time pilot that says a lot, that it's ok to be nervous but follow your training. Wonderful video.

Fantastic video. I’m liking your use of music to emphasize tension. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. The constant improvements on editing and musical score is evident and damn near perfect. Very well done.

Your videos, instruction and adventures are the pinnacle of aviation and I'm truly appreciative of your effort! To the cockpit club I go!

I watched this 6 months ago before I started any instrument training and was only picking up bits and pieces, now just waiting to schedule my instrument ride, it was fun to watch again while understanding everything!

Terrific video! This is a great training tool and works well for recurrency . Well done guys!

Josh, great video. Great example of cockpit teamwork and procedures! Awesome.

Well done, Josh. Really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Very nice Josh. I'm about to finish my MCC, so this video landed right in time. You both did a really nice job splitting tasks and making use of the resources you had at disposal. Overall, what makes good CRM is communication and clear task splitting with both knowing who has the lead but knowing that you're "flying" as well as the pilot monitoring and that you need to point out when something's not right and keep the PF in the loop as well as the other way around (closed loop principle). Real training in CRM takes time and experience but your video was a great example of the essentials! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Switzerland.

Insane video. Very well done Josh. Love watching these with how informational and educational you make it.

Well done guys. What great team work!!! So professional and well prepared for minimums. IFR at its best.

Superb !!!!! Excellent team work !!!

This was such a good watch. Thanks for taking us along to learn from your experience. I'm working on my IR and I hope to emulate what you two have shown in this, while wearing my Av 101 hat. Keep up the great work Josh.

Thank you Josh for posting that video. I learned a lot about working together as a crew. You two worked together very well. See you next time.

Good job, nothing better than breaking out and the runway is where its supposed to be!

Lots of times with a good crosswind pilots can miss it. That’s why I always give a clock angle when I call runway in sight to the pilot flying.

Great video and CRM. Fun to watch you and Troy doing that pilot stuff, working this approach. This triggered instant memories of getting in to KOXB on the GPS 32, down to 280 and minimums were 261.

I love seeing these approaches right down to minimums in real life IMC conditions. Thanks Josh! Happy New Year

Great video, thanks for sharing this.

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video , thanks !

Another awesome video Josh!!! Definitely one for the books as you said. I really enjoyed this one, I'll be checking out the full length on cockpit club. The CRM was superb, you guys worked like a well oiled crew that's been flying together for a while. Great job, Thanks!

Great video guys, wonderful teamwork.

Excellent video Josh, and to my friend Troy amazing watching you do what you love. Thanks for sharing this flight too

Was a pleasure to have you ACTUALLY on board the airplane recently. Let’s do it again!

Seriously great communication between both of you... nicely done!

It is a great feeling when that runway environment shows up right on schedule. Job very well done. You guys form a great team.

What an incredible approach! Great job to the both of you. 🤘🇺🇸🛩️

Another fantastic and professional video. Would expect nothing less. Great job man.

Great crew good flying

Communication was vital. Team work made for a safe landing in some very difficult circumstances. Excellent job - congratulations to you both.

woooow, this makes me want to get my instrument so badly! incredible! The engineering involved to develop and implement everything necessary to make these kinds of approaches happen blows my mind. The skills to fly these approaches sits on whole other level. Great flying!

Nice work gentlemen. I’ve done a few of those absolute minimum landings single pilot. Very unnerving but as you mention, training is why we do it. Having extra eyes is a huge advantage and any pilot would be a fool not to take advantage.

Amazing approach and resource mgmt. You both knocked it out of park in this video. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I learned so much and you two were top notch professional grade!

OMG, what an amazing approach. Mind blowing. I love you aviation videos. It bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

Great video. Thank you

Great video. Very informative and shows the value of sharing piloting duties and coordination os IFR workload. Well done.

that gave me the goos bump, and the will to push true all the long studying to get my IFR rating, one day it will be mine, thanks for sharing Josh that was great content right there.

I love how chill the departure controller was, great to hear after some of the center controllers going about as fast as they can.

Down to mínimums again. Well done Josh. You’re the man!💪

Outstanding guys!!!

Wow....no words...good job both of you

Awesome Josh!

This video came at a good time for me. I am working on my instrument rating currently and approaches are what I am doing right now. Super informative video.

Nicely done !! Great CRM and teamwork !

Well, that was pretty intense from my couch... can’t imagine being in that cockpit. Nice job, great content.

Great job guys!!

Excellent video as usual, thanks for sharing.

Nicely done to the two of you.

Great video!! Real IFR and real stress!

That was intense. Absolutely loved it

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Great flying skills.. I'm impressed of you both👍

Great work guys! Awesome mission!

Wow! Great flying to great film! Thanks so much for sharing

Great video and an example of crew coordination!

Very nice. Thank you for the "VFR" distance call out. I think as instrument pilots we get caught up in the approach and even though there was no VFR traffic it's a good habit to announce where you are like '8 miles out straight in runway 34' so they understand. VFR traffic doesn't usually know fixes on an instrument approach so to say you're at PAXXE intersection on RNAV 34 doesn't let them know where you are.

job well done congrats to both of you

This was scary...excellent airmanship by you guys! Thanks for the helpful tips.

Great crew work!

Great video as always, getting ready for my IFR check-ride so Ive watched this one a bunch. :) That GFC AP really is amazing. Great Flying!

What a great video !!!! I learned a lot and my anxiety went up at the end ...

GREAT episode!! Wishing you and yours a Blessed 2021!

Great video !!! As a new instrument student this taught me a fair amount of the flow of the ifr flight in true IMC. Thanks !

A-MA-ZING!!!!! Well done 👍 Regards, Chris, from the UK.

Great CRM. Excellent video. Thanks for the "lesson".

After just getting my instrument rating at just over 200 hours I can definitely see how it will be helpful one day down the road! I remember watching you before I even went to get my pilot's license and now a year and a half later I have my IFR and next week begin my commercial license classes!

Enjoyed all aspects of this video. Thanks for sharing!

Well done. Well done.

Dude!!!! That was AWESOME!!!

Wow ! Nice & inspiring in so many ways !

Great video, guys! The elevation of airport is important along with correct altimeter setting. I also think airspeed is important too preventing stall in the blind. Great team work.

Pucker indeed. Nicely done.

Certainly a high pucker factor approach. No room for any kind of error. Thanks for posting, great video. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Wow, great team work.

Thanks. Enjoyed the flight.

Double good video! Thanks

Amazing job guys

Good work and nice pilotage.

You guys are awesome!
