I loved the way Brandon phrased the readback for the IFR clearance “119.0 to talk, 2524 to squawk” 😂

I’m watching as many IFR vids as I can get my hands on before I start my training, and this video was light Christmas for light bulbs going on!! So many little things that I was only partly getting, just clicked. I love the way you articulate things so clearly! Keep up the amazing videos!

I have 1000's of hours and you seem to be doing good. Your friend is a great instructor, so follow his lead and you will be golden. IMC will get easier as you gain experience and easier yet when you fly bigger planes. I dont even know you but I am proud of you.

That was absolutely awesome josh, that was an amazing watch, intense!!

Just watched this video all the way through. And want to say, you both did an excellent job! Brandan was superb .. there were a few comments about Brandan being "edgy." Well, let's see ... Old Style, Circa 70,s/80,s C172, No Auto-Pilot, No Back-Up AI, Carburetor Heat (Lord freakin help me), Fogged Up Instrument Panel, Night IMC with 800' Ceiling, Moderate RA .. and one very new to instrument flying pilot in the left seat. Ahhh ... yeah ... I'd be a little edgy too. I used to CFII and flew in these conditions with students many times. . also flew cargo at night for Ameriflight (yes, it was a while back .. about 2004.) But even then, when I flew real IMC the planes at least had a basic Auto-Pilot/Wing-Leveler. The aircraft Brandan and Josh are flying is as "basic" as it gets. Brandan was absolutely on top of the game . . and so was Josh. One other thing, I think sometimes in this era of GA Flight, with the pervasiveness of full glass panels and 2-axis auto pilots, etc. .. it is easy to forget the very high level of risk one encounters in true night IMC, . . . and the very high level of skill and talent needed to safely fly this particular type of aircraft these guys are flying in this video, in these conditions. Excellent video, and two, strong, young pilots who worked very well together as a team.

I'm a student virtual pilot simming with the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Do you think its good practice to start with a basic aircraft with steam gauges as shown in this video, rather than go for a one with a G1000?

Thanks for sharing. For those of us actually working towards our instrument rating, videos like this are invaluable. Keep them coming! And thanks again.

Thanks for uploading, your focus is awesome. sounds like a good instructor too.

I could feel the tension just watching. Great job flying in really tough IFR conditions. Night, rain, clouds. I don't think it could be much more challenging. Keep up the great videos!

Love this video of flying at night in the rain. So peaceful. Keep em coming! Thanks for posting!

Great Example by Josh and his CFI on how to fly in IMC and the essential tips needed to master IFR and IMC conditions!

This is great, Josh! So awesome to see something drastically different! Can't wait for more!

Thats was intense! IFR in the rain looks like some on the edge of your seat stuff for a new IFR pilot awesome video! KEEP EM COMIN! :)

Brandon is an excellent instructor. His job is to keep you and him alive as you learn to fly IFR in IMC. Being extra vigilant and pushing for excellence is what you want. Great job!

Outstanding Video. I have about 300 hrs and want to start my Instrument but I got to tell you my heart was pounding just watching you. Your instructor is really good. You read all the stories about disorientation but you proved that in this video that even a really good VFR pilot that knows his plane and his abilities can easily get into trouble very quickly. Nervous to start my training but know it will make me safer in the air. Take care. Looking forward to more of you IFR training.

reviving the classics, it's been a long way. Love this channel

Man, this is a sweet vid. You can really feel your tension, but it is a good tension. Well done, can't wait to see more!

This experience you had is why I always fly IFR in CAT III on my simulator. Terrifying but gratifying when pulled off. So many failure variables even in the sim. Nice vid.

Very cool, Josh! Keep em coming!

Instrument training was the most fun for me, nearly 20 hours actual and took the checkride with 500ft ceilings, didn't even need a hood. Have fun, it's a blast!

YES!!!! Thanks for putting it up!!!

Awesome. That looked intense. Cheers.

It's awesome to see you advance in your training, I've been waiting for you to start uploading these kinds of videos, haha. Can't wait until I can start my training, even though it looks like its a good 5 years out.

Great Video Josh

Awesome Video

Awesome vid

Awesome job Josh!

Great!! When I fly in the simulator (not training for my PPL just yet lol), I am soo tempted to look outside! Its horrible sometimes haha :P Can't wait to see more upcoming videos, Josh!

Excellent video, thank you.

The good thing about IFR at night is that it is the same as VFR at night in the desert without a moon. The only difference is that you are trained to deal with both.

You are one of my inspirations to go for my dreams of learning to fly.

Good video as always!

Strobes in the dark can create a wild illusion out your window.

josh, awesome video.. its hard when you are use to flying VFR VMC, to all of a sudden having to keep your eyes on the instruments, your body wants to take over and look else where ..and with the CFI stressing, that really keeps you on point lol.. keep the videos coming.. great job

This is very familiar territory. I spent a lot of time in C-172s, although my instrument training was in a Piper Arrow. I love that the pilot used the checklist and followed procedure in activating his IFR plan. I also love that the CFII reminded him to ignore what his body told him! I once flew in heavy fog and my internal gyros told me I was leaning left --- but my airplane said I was straight and level . Imagine which one one I believed.

I like this vídeo and others vídeos, made for you. Thank you very much, to make the vídeos!

Eminently enjoyable video. The first hour of IFR often raises the pulse rate more than the first VFR lesson.

Just learning about your channel and enjoying the first three videos tremendously. In 2010, I spent 9 days in at this San Marcos airfield training to become a motorcycle safety instructor, so I was a bit surprised to hear it mentioned.

When I used to fly with my Buddy a lot in the Skylane RG even in VFR conditions when it got dark outside everything just got creepy. One time I asked him what that white ball was that was following us up the river and just broke out laughing and said "it's the moon you nut." :)

Good to see some IFR stuff!

Pretty cool Josh. I remember my first IFR lesson, pretty intense!

Always good to see Texas getting rain! :)

Great to be able to watch some of the early content! #SkyBaum

Keep flying that ifr its tricky but fun

Wow!! you did really well. It’s really easy to lose yourself to spatial disorientation especially at night.

I like the CFI , I think he is fine. Nice vid

Great IFR vid clip! Tailwinds from Australia :)

I appreciate your videos. I always learn a little something watching them. I have a Cessna 172M as well. Its a great little plane. Very stable and an excellent plane to learn in. I'm VFR only right now but looking forward to moving on to IFR soon.

Time for an upgrade that 172 seems to old. To be a100% trust worthy. Also I did no how intense IFR was great job Mr aviation.

That was quite tense to watch, glad I did now.

Love your videos josh!

That's awesome that you're starting instrument!! I'm halfway through right now. Getting into the partial panel and endless holds part. Best of luck. Looking forward to the videos from you. I'm getting a cockpit audio recorder and I'll hopefully be making some videos soon. And using shareaviation.com

This is awesome, im from argentina, im private pilot almost comercial pilot, at the moment im sick i was in bed all the day watching your videos ALL OF THEM haha, i spend like 12 hs watching ur videos, my english its not the best but let me let you know what i think about you. you are a very responsable pilot thats in my opinion, the 90% of this profesion, keep going, I CANT WAIT to see more IFR like this. dont know how to explain how much i like to watch you flying and teaching, you will be a very good instructor in the future, keep going dude, and GOOD FLIGHTS!!!!!

One of your most interesting vids! I was fascinated by your comments about how your body was telling you one thing but the instruments were telling you something else....If you watch any of those air disaster TV shows, that problem has been the cause of a number of accidents with commercial planes---despite all the instruments and pilot training. It must be seriously weird when you just KNOW something but the instruments KNOW something else---and you have to ignore your basic instincts. Looking forward to the next installments, Josh!

I was flying back from Florida that night. I heard y'all on approach frequency going into Addison.

Talk about intense! I'm not a pilot but from I understand if you don't keep an eye on your instruments during an IFR/IMC flight you could be flying at 5000 and the next thing you know you're at 3500. Amazing video!

Probably the hardest thing for me was to learn to scan. Once I did that flying in IMC was fun. Always trusted my instruments.

This is a great video! Training down in Houston at IWS. My dad and I share a PA28 like you guys do! N32274, hope to meet one day!

Cool , get that Instrument Rating, worth it.... Nice Vid

Josh and B! In da heezy

Earlier in the week, my 172 lost suction and the left mag failed. It was a little intense as I was doing some power on stalls. What a place and time for it all to hit the fan. Luckily I was only 5 miles from the nearest airport.

Flying in actual imc like this is so much different than doing 'hood' training with a view-limiting device. When flying on hood you'll always have slivers of your peripheral vision that can see out the window, and your body will automatically orient itself to know which way is up. I did my first bit of real imc in the past few months and I didn't expect to get disoriented but I did. It's a crazy feeling to see the instruments all looking great but feel like the airplane is slipping one way or another.

Great video!! Just goes to show that even lil' Cessna's can be high-tech. (About the iPad's and G430).

trust your instruments and disregard your sensory perceptions :) nice video!

I've been carefully considering how to make IFR (training) videos... Curious to see how the comment thread plays out for this one. It is so tough to address the context thoroughly enough; You have to be very careful that you don't edit something out that inadvertently leaves your instructor vulnerable ... Good first attempt though. And is that your first Voice Over in a video Josh? I haven't noticed you do that before.

Yeah man, I know what you mean! Just like any other type of flying, the critics will never be satisfied. Although this video seemed to work out well, everyone is enjoying it. If you need some help with cutting together IFR videos, let me know! Voice-overs have been a common thing for me with other film projects other than KZread, but for IFR flight, voice-overs are almost NEEDED to accompany the complicated flight and procedures. Helps walk the viewer through what is happening, plus cover contextual gaps like you mentioned.

Thanks! Glad you like the videos... I mainly just want to be an instructor for now.

Nice job Josh, I think you're really going to enjoy IFR flying. I much prefer flying IFR on cross country flights over VFR (notice I didnt say IMC vs VMC) IFR is like automatic flight following and its so easy to go in and out of complicated airspace (I live in the Baltimore Washington Metro area and its just easier IFR) I love the structure of it although as a CFI (only one I) I pretty much fly around with student pilots so I need to purposefully go out and keep my IFR skills sharp. My biggest piece of advice is to make sure you dont let your instrument skills lapse after you get your rating. You'd be surprised how easy it is to go your 6months and not log 6 approaches, holding, and tracking. Often times you will find yourself in IMC, cleared for the approach, and on the descent down to initial approach altitude, you break out of the clouds. Have fun, be safe!

You are a good pilot,Now you are becoming a Good Aviator

Make no Mistake....Deadly serious business. yes, i too, at moments, and 'not having first hand knowledge of his friend Brandon' (doesn't look 'that' old..) anything about him', or any 'personality quirks'.... thought there was a bit of an 'uptight' element present. however, after continuing to watch, we also see his buddy Brandon, frequently offer words of support and encouragement to "Aviation"....clearly wanting to keep a happy balance of 'stern-learning'...and 'your doing fine' CRM. nice work guys... truly. and yes, 'these' kinds of operations ( Launching into IMC, precip and complete darkness, require every bit of 'pre-planning, safety-awareness and cockpit coordination one can muster. absolutely. being 'too' slack, relaxed...and even 'slightly-over-confident... can be a recipe for .....well...... these two are good for each other. exemplary work dudes....

Thanks man. Flying IFR, or flying at all for that matter is risky business, and can kill you within minutes of letting down your guard. Thank you for watching!

In the case of losing vacuum suction, you'd still have the turn coordinator yeah? So you wouldn't be completely screwed in imc.

Great video! I really like how raw it is. Too bad the batteries didn't hold out for the approach. Also a camera fixed on the instruments would be awsome, to see what your doing.

Just curious, why was the carb heat on during taxi? You'll likely risk FOD when operating with that on the ground. The heated air entering the carburetor is unfiltered which may damage the engine.

Hey Josh, great video man! One question, what app did you use when you entered the flight plan after you received your IFR release? Keep up the great work!

if you ever plan on buzzing by mid or east Georgia ,Dublin,Savannah,St.Simons.I"like to meet ya in person.

IMC seems almost scary!

Brandon makes sure that Josh doesn't get fixated on one certain thing

Seems dangerous

great departure! do you always experience an imbalance distraction from vestibular system that tell your body to bank right in every IFR flights ?

Noticed before you had a suction mount for your iPad, now a yoke mount. Need to get one for my tablet. Which one do you like best? Vids are great - keep up the good work.

Nice video😀, what gopro mounts do you use?

I also have a GoPro Hero 3 Black edition but when I record at night I can't see nearly as much as you can in the cockpit. Is there some special trick to be able to see more in the clip?

ATC sounds really sleepy around 11:30 :p

Very interesting video. I like the cooperation in the pit. It's almost difficult to imagine that one person is allowed to do all of this without an instructor or a co-pilot. However I noticed you use carb heat at full throttle. You know that can cause detanation, right?

@Aviation101

9 жыл бұрын

We pulled carb heat when we entered IMC. Visible moisture+current outside temp would have yielded dangerous carburetor ice. Much safer to pull the carburetor heat to prevent ice than to let it build up causing us to lose RPM on the climb-out in IMC AT night. Thanks for the concern though!

Why did they keep the landing light on? Was that for the go pro to reference.

Shit, a lot of people in the damn comment section are being edgy. I think you did a great job. Especially Brandon. Being edgy is not a bad thing because it's helping you focus on the specifics, which in turn makes you a better pilot. Some people in the comment section need to relax and enjoy the video. I definitely did and it was great to see your progress into the IFR world. :)

Josh! Great video. This is exactly what I've been doing for this entire year, working on an IFR rating. When programming the route of flight into the iPad, I just put in the first fix because ATC damn near always changes it. Remember to fight the FOE; Fixation, Omission,Emphasis! Are you working on your rating in this flight, or was this a joy ride?

Looks quite stressful....

Hello Sir! If you dont me me asking... in what "region" did your 172 cost? Feel free not to answer

Some people in the comment section need to relax. You don't want a coach that lets you make mistakes or a commanding officer that pats you on the back when you assemble your gun incorrectly. Being on edge at all times is not a bad thing, especially when you are training a new student who is in control of a one ton airborne projectile that can go 180mph...

Way to go josh going for the big jump to IFR its funny some people think glass is required for IFR do you have any upgrades in mind for 991 in the future also a annual stripdown video would be intresting if your A&P will let you do one as he inspects it

IMC means Instrument Meteorological Conditions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_meteorological_conditions VOR is a navigation system for aircrafts that enables them to know their position using short VHF radio signals. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHF_omnidirectional_range Sorry for my english =/

As Joao said, IMC stands for Instrument Meteorological Conditions. VOR stands for VHF Omnidirectional Range, and is currently the standard IFR navigational system. VOR stations frequently operate in conjunction with DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) transceivers and TACAN (TACtical Air Navigation) stations.
