Thank for taking the time to provide this debrief. It is very helpful!

The D on the airport diagram on the approach plates indicates that "Runway Declared Distances" are published in the chart supplement. These are distances provided for runways where the Takeoff Distance available (TODA), landing distance available (LDA), and a few more (LDA, ASDA etc) are not the same as the entire runway length. This may be due to the presence of displaced thresholds, stopways, clearways, etc at either end of the runway.

Great video! I’m a couple weeks out from my check ride and watching this video allow me to refresh my memory on some things that had gotten stale. I appreciate your efforts

You filed to an IAP, instead of an airport, in case of communication loss? Is this how you (and others) normally file?

@NorthwestAeronaut

Yes, always. But to be clear, I file to the airport still, I just put the IAF in the flight plan right before the destination airport.

How long did it take you to train and pass your IFR checkride? How many times you flew a week?

Well all in all it took me about 8 months. But that was right through the first part of Covid so things were moving much slower than usual. But I continued to fly once or twice a week throughout 👍

@@NorthwestAeronaut Thanks for replying! I have my PPL and just trying to gauge my $$ budget and time to get my instrument before starting. What do you recommend to get done study-wise before starting instrument with a CFI?

@@ADifferentVibe that’s awesome! Honestly it’s good to kinda do both ground studying and flying together. That way you can apply the things you’re learning on the ground in the air. But certainly doesn’t hurt to dive into ground school stuff more aggressively first. Just not required 👍

Interesting talking point: You can’t file IFR on an instrument Checkride. Your DPE would have to file, making him PIC and obviously you can’t file because you don’t hold an instrument rating.

@@NorthwestAeronaut I chose a dpe for cfi that gives very similar checkrides to everyone so I made sure I knew everything she was going to ask really well. I trained for about 8 months and passed first try mon. 5.5 hr oral and 2 hour flight. It was alot of work but it didn't feel long at all as I was teaching alot. For me ir was much more stressful cause I hate it and it's all conceptual and regulations. Make sure you find out info about your examiner. I was scheduled to go with a different dpe but found out that he does not let you use your lesson plans whatsoever which is stupid so I canceled last minute. That was the best decision of my life. Hope everything goes really well for you.
