You'll hear it often enough: are you legal to fly IFR? There are a lot of requirements to fly IFR of course. These start from the experience you need to get just to be able to do your instrument checkride. Then you've got to make sure you keep your instrument rating current. Don't forget the aircraft, that has to be IFR equipped and current too. Here is everything you need to know next time someone asks if you're legal.
0:00 Required Experience for IFR Checkride
6:13 Maintaining Currency
7:03 Instrument Proficiency Check
7:48 IFR Required Equipment
8:27 IFR Required Inspections
9:01 VOT Test
9:15 VOR Checkpoint

I’m a ii and I still come back to these videos. I say that to thank you and to encourage students to remember you’re always learning both recurrent and new material
There’s a lot covered in a very short period of time, but still easy to digest. Definitely top notch material!
As usual, great that you put all the requirements together to get the whole picture. Thanks for posting.
Best video out there hands down. Just starting my instrument rating and this video cleared a lot of things up and gave me a timeline on how I should approach this rating.
Thank you very much
I’m a private pilot who’s getting ready to begin training to be ATC. Watching these vids to refresh my pilot knowledge and build for my ATC training. Great content, keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for this video!
Getting ready for my instrument check ride and this is perfect for reviewing!
Awesome. Many thanks for a lovely review!
This video, and the one for commercial, are SO HELPFUL, GOD DAMN! Excellent work from you guys and you've earned a subscriber.
As always nicely done.
Good refresher , flying back in time
Wow, this is some genuinely professional content. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, hopefully not too professional, though. Don't want to feel like we're at work lol
Finishing up my instrument rating. These vids are wonderful supplements. Cheers
Good luck on the rating!
I really appreciate you regarding your great explanation, I learned a lot.
I am still watching your IFR videos, that’s fascinating.
Good luck man
Your videos are so good! One day I hope to be as good of an instructor as you! Thank you for all the great info/videos
I wish there was a regular feature to add this YT vid to a playlist. I would love to share this with my instrument learners!
So smooth!
When I am logging my VOR checks as per a 91.171b, I use the acronym DEPS. That is date, error, place and signature. My instructor taught me that a long time ago and I use it to this day. I hope it helps someone. Great job on the videos! There's always more to learn!
I always thought that there was a missing comma in the VOR Check reqirement. The Date, Place, Bearing, Error, and Signature makes more sense than Bearing Error.
FAR - AIM TO BE REVISITED... Thank you 4 the inspiration to do something more with my life 🇺🇲
Hey bud, thanks for getting me through my IFR rating. I’ve been rocking my flight insight sweatshirt like, every other day for a month now
Nice, stylin!
Exception job, thank you.
You're most welcome!
I just found your videos and subscribed. Great content!!
Welcome! Glad you're here
Your videos are great! It should also be noted (at 6:52) that during that initial 6 month period when you’re maintaining currency, 61.57 also requires a safety pilot when performing IAPs with the use of a view limiting device. It seems a bit misleading in the video that a safety pilot is only mentioned for the requirements during the 6-12 month period.
I recognise this thumbnail picture :)
Clarifying the definition of cross country: According to the CFRs, flight time can be logged as cross-country time "INCLUDES a point of landing that was at least a straight-line distance of more than 50 nautical miles from the original point of departure." I interprete this to mean that if I fly a 3-leg triangle involving landings at 3 airports, with legs of 30, 40 and 50 nautical miles, I can log a total of 120 miles of cross-country time. Am I correct?
I looked up the VOT and VOR checkpoints for California. They are close to non-existent. Also I can't find a requirement that the dual VOR check needs to be done airborne?
IN IFR YOU ARE STILL NOT DRIVING THE AIRCRAFT BUT CONNECTED TO A DME BUT NOT ONLY LIKE LAYING OUT A STRING BUT USING THE OTHER AIR TRAFFIC TECHNOLOGY SO THE YOKE MOVES WITH THE ROUTE?
Question:
Hypothetical speaking, if I did not log the 6HITs within the first 6months. Let's say I was only able to do 4 approaches. Would those 4HITs carry over? Or would I have to do a whole new 6 HITS?
I keep getting this recommended and I don't know why.
When I was training for my PPL ticket in 2003, my CFII miscalculated my XC time because we flew to an airport 49NM from home and when I went for my checkride, the DPE caught the oversight in my logbook and took my CFII to task for not catching it.
I had to delay my checkride to then fly solo to a farther airport for a few weeks to make up the time. ($$$)
Once I got my PPL, I started my IFR training immediately and double checked ALL numbers after that. I got my IFR 6 months after my PPL.
Ouch. I’ve heard of one or two students having that happen. Not fun
1:51 You don't have to be a CFI-A to be in instrument instructor. You can be solely a CFI-I ONLY
True! 61.195 lets an instructor teach instrument students without having their CFI-ASE. Their rating would say: Flight Instructor Instrument Airplane, as opposed to: Flight Instructor Airplane Single Engine Land - Instrument Airplane. Can't say I've met such an instructor but I understand it's getting more common in some larger schools. Thanks for chipping in!
@@flightinsight9111 I only know this because I’m a CFII only since 2009 and couldn’t instruct without the CFI-ASE rendering it basically a useless certificate. However, in 2018 the FAA approved clarification on what a CFII (only) could do, and it’s basically teach for the purpose of an instrument rating in single engine airplanes only (unless you’re a CFII with an MEI). Prior to 2018 I could only teach ground school. I like it this way only because I don’t have the time to dedicate to a new private pilot with my current career.
@@CFLARROW Appreciate your special insight! Glad you're able to apply your CFII now!
As a young pilot, I am really going to learn more of these like how Captain Joe teaches us this to!
I notice you have a lot of content on the G1000 system but my aircraft has the GNS 430. How about a video on how to set up for approaches. I watched You Tube videos and can load the flight plan but Ignorant what are the steps to actually run an approach
This one might suit you studio.czcams.com/users/videoZTFw_IBt6Ug/edit
@@flightinsight9111 you are a life saver!
NOT just a clock!! It needs to have a *sweeping* hand for seconds or a digital representation of that traditional clock face with the sweeping seconds hand. Very tricky but important!
Thanks! Clocks need to be authorized for IFR and installed in the panel (i.e. no wristwatches). They do need hours minutes and seconds, and if analog, need that sweeping second hand. If they're not analog, they just need a digital representation of the hours minutes and seconds, as most newer IFR approved clocks now do. There is no requirement to have a digital representation of the sweeping second hand though. The wording in 91.205 (d)(6) is a bit vague and could be interpreted as needing the digital representation of the sweeping second hand, but Advisory Circular 20-94a specifies that digital clocks can be used in place of the sweeping hand as long as hours, minutes, and seconds are individually displayed.
@@flightinsight9111 oh wow, thanks for that AC! You’re so right and helpful!
All the information for the GPS for approach is the pretty much same, only different materials is thr name changed,,height and direction, most of them ate the same, to my knowledge, just for the money for those business, I do hope those GPS makers do not charge for the GPS info update.
There’s error in IFR currency.
Thanks! It's updated in the full course!
Do you know if it pertains to his slide at 7:13? After the 6 months of lapse, only a CFII or DPE can get you re-current? No more safety pilot to get you re-current after 6-month lapse?
AIRLINE TRANSPORT PIOLT REQUIRES 120 HOURS OF IFR TRAINING AND 100 HOURS SIMULATION?
NO APARTS ARE NOT ALWAYS NEEDED BUT IFP AND VFP ARE NEEDED?
There is an incorrect statement at minute 3:22 of the video:
61.109(a)(3) "3 hours of flight training in a single-engine airplane on the control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments" cannot be counted towards the 40 hour requirement unless provided by a CFII. if the 3 hours of training to "control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments" is provided by a CFI, then it cannot be counted. Additionally, for the 3 hours to be counted if the training was done be a CFII, the logbook entry has to clearly specify that it was "simulated instrument time"
Thanks so much for watching and I appreciate you giving a critical eye to the minutiae! The 2016 Rohlfing Interpretation sheds some light here: It states that while 15 hours of instrument instruction must be from a CFII, the 40 hour of instrument experience does not need to come from a CFII, and does not need to be instruction at all. Just as flying with a safety pilot helps satisfy the 40 hour requirement, flying 3 hours with any CFI to get your experience "solely by reference to instruments" counts towards the 40 as well.
The exact language of the interpretation is: _"the 3 hours of flight training on "the control and maneuvering of an
airplane solely by reference to instruments" in § 61.109(a)(3) may be applied toward the 40
hours of actual or simulated instrument time under § 61.65( d)(2)"_

@@flightinsight9111 Thank you for that. I was not aware and the logic certainly makes sense.
These videos put sportys to shame
Very good Video. In reference to 8:20 it may be good to clarify that there is some more Equipment needed if carrying passengers (FAR/AIM: § 135.163).
Thanks for looking out for the details! It's much appreciated. For now these videos are sticking mostly to the scope of Part 91 flying since that's where newly minted IFR pilots will be. A big project in the future will definitely be tackling Part 135 and other commercial operations requirements!
