    I get all the way through the Instrument training, Getting ready to brush up on putting it all together and my instructor goes to the airlines. Over 2 months later and no solid instructor yet. These skills deteriorate quickly as far as preparing for a checkride. I got a 95 on the written and was a pretty decent stick from what I'm told and was looking similar to this performance. I can barely land an aircraft now and I'm ready to walk. Lesson here, dont piss away 8 to 10 grand on a school that has revolving door flight instructors and cant speak solid English.(I've been through 3 so far). Trying out an alleged Gold Seal instructor that they just hired, this weekend. Your channel has been a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. Thanks for the years!

    My IFR check ride was 40 years ago. Obviously things were very different then. We had to use "steam" gauges -- electro/mechanical devices --- and maintain situational awareness without help from GPS and such. But I loved the training, the thinking and the flying involved. My own limit, though, was reached in flying a twin with an engine out on an ILS approach. Whew!

    I told my CFII that I wanted to take my time, go slow and really absorb it all, I told him I didn't care if it took 50+ hours or more.... at about 40 hours, he said go ahead and schedule a time 2-3 weeks out so we can get a time-slot on the books. I called the DPE and he said after two days he wouldn't be free until 3 months later! I called my CFII and he said he would sign me off now and said I was ready, but I didn't feel like I was...All that TASK SATURATION he put me through made me feel like I wasn’t getting it! The next day we did the oral, as the weather wasn't good enough for a Checkride, so ONLY one day left or I would have to sweat it out for several months!!, next day weather (ceilings) was better, but not ideal, we waited for a few hours and DPE said you ready?? After the 1st maneuver, everything fell into place, just seemed natural, Autopilot failed (for real) on a coupled approach had to pull circuit breaker and flew the best ILS I ever did, passed, what a great day! Glad my CFII pushed me out of the proverbial nest!!
    So ALL that TASK SATURATION really made me overly prepared for my checkride!!!

    I’m a paramedic. If I have a patient or a scene that starts to quickly go south we have ingrained in our brains a set of procedures that will keep you moving even if you don’t understand yet what’s going on. Is the training similar for pilots in that regard? I’ve always wanted to attend a flight school since I completed paramedic school to compare and contrast certain elements of the training.

    Though none of us are perfect but we all can use small tips. Even this new IFR pilot, Chris could give me a tip or two. His head movements are possibly too quick. Of course this is subjective to each individual but in the video, it appeared to be.

      Usually for me that depends upon how thick the layer is. But often I will take the foggles off when in actual conditions so students can experience the transition. On this flight we were doing the long IFR cross country requirement which requires a certain amount of instrument time (actual or simulated). So we kind of had to wear them on this day

    Just nailed my first ILS & RNAV approaches today. Do you like iPad yoke mounts Jason? I've been using one, and love it. I really didn't like having the iPad on my lap because you have to stare at your feet. But I find with the G1000 I can glance down for 2 seconds with the yoke mount and continue the radial scan. Any chance you are going to make it out to Sun N Fun 2020? Love to meet you in person and just say thanks. If I knew how to nominate you for the best instructor in the United States I'd vote every day.

  • @jimallen8186
    @jimallen8186 Před rokem

    I don’t actually like centerline discipline as you describe it “fighting to get back to centerline.” That can be dangerous. Much better to correct the drift so as to parallel centerline then as able, not likely in a takeoff but more-so in a landing, slowly correct back. Parallel first then maybe slow correct as a second discrete action. Fighting back to the centerline is one of the techniques used by test pilots to determine on the ground dynamic directional stability. You don’t want to be doing it as an average aviator.

    • @TheFinerPoints
      @TheFinerPoints  Před rokem

      I'm not sure I follow the comment exactly. Can you describe the difference between "fighting for the centerline" and "slowly correcting back"? I believe I'm using those two concepts interchangeably. The idea being that I see most pilots "give up" and accept the drift. "Fighting" for it in my mind is a way to teach them to always work to correct back to the centerline. If you're airborne, then yes of course you should be parallel, but it's impossible to move sideways while parallel when your wheels are on the ground.

    • @jimallen8186
      @jimallen8186 Před rokem

      @@TheFinerPoints you said in the video he’s “fighting for the centerline,” this should be scary as it suggests aggressively correcting. Aggressive correction is what will drive dynamic instability. “I’m off, I have to fix it!” No. Stop it from getting worse. Fix later. If you want to see what I mean, and I suggest you try in a car before a plane while in both cases using an extra wide runway, start your drive ten feet off center and correct. Now repeat but get to center quicker. Or start further away and try to resolve in the same time and space. Keep repeating trying to resolve quicker and quicker each time or larger and larger deviations to fix. Watch what happens. Alternately, you can use boundary avoidance technique (BAT) to get the same effect in which you’d imagine an ever narrower runway as you proceed. Slowly correcting back isn’t just being slow, it is intentionally step two. Step one is to stop the drift to parallel. With the two step you’re much less likely to go high gain and use excessive inputs, less likely to overshoot, less likely to PIO. I like to consider a corollary with one of the “LSO Rules to Live By,” with “Never Re-Center a High Ball In Close, But Stop the Rising Ball.” Feel here we also need to reflect again “fast is slow, slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
