This channel is getting a makeover for 2023! I’m James Sloan, a professional flight instructor and commercial pilot. I was a pilot recreationally for 20 years before pursuing a flying career, and my goal with this channel is to share real world lessons I’ve encountered that might not be emphasized in typical “textbook” flight training. I’ll also share longer format videos of my flying adventures. Come join me for flying lessons!
Flying in Canada - Crossing the Border and Navigating Differences in General Aviation Flying
In this video I share what I learned on a flying club trip to Canada! We cover some of the differences in procedures and regulations between the US and Canada, as well as the requirements for crossing the border between the US and Canada.

Flying Instrument Approaches in the Cessna G1000

Can the POH numbers be trusted? Departing Bar 10 on the Grand Canyon at 8000 ft DA!
Переглядів 1873 роки тому
How well can a Skylane climb in mountainous terrain from 4000 MSL at 40 degC? Surprisingly well, it turns out (with 2 adults aboard, anyway) pretty much in line with the POH. But it's good to have a plan how to maneuver around the terrain just in case!

In this video I depart St. George, Utah (SGU) and pick up an IFR clearance in the air. I'm instructed to maintain VFR and maintain my own terrain and obstruction clearance until reaching a fairly high altitude, highlighting one of the risks of a pop-up clearance. Then later I fly a circling approach to San Gabriel / El Monte (EMT) in Southern CA. For more information on maintaining "own terrain...

This is the absolute best G1000 tutorial I have ever seen. Wow, what a huge help. Thank you so very much for taking the time to put this together and teach it. This has helped me so much! Thank you!!!
Older video I know, but just happened across it. Looks like a pretty decent bag. Thanks for sharing and Take Care
@@AtwoodThreads yes although unfortunately nearly every zipper on the bag failed after a couple of years. Unfortunately the company would not replace the bag even though that is clearly a workmanship or durability issue.
@@FlyingLessons Dang that sucks! Hopefully you found a suitable replacement. I am not a pilot but I do carry a bag everyday and have started carrying a pilot bag as they are made for daily use.
Hands down the best G1000 vertical guidance tutorial. Truly truly grateful
Wow. This is pretty rich and comprehensive. Very well done.
@@scottbeyer101 Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best yet! Thank you
Great speaking pace bro Keep it calm
Great post! Thank you.
Thanks - I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Truly helpful post. Nice work!
@@cschneiderclimb1969 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fantastic overview. Thanks so much for this. I couldn't believe how not easily available all this information was considering we share the longest border in the world.
@@bankosphere totally! I'm glad you found it helpful!
This is very helpful thank you for posting. Flying into Canada today solo and this helps.
@@racingwithbigt Excellent! Good luck and have fun!
@@FlyingLessons @racingwithbigt I'm planning a flight to Toronto at the end of Nov. How do I get the FCC Station License? I'll I'm finding about it that is that "Experimental Radio Station." Is that the right one?
@ To get an Aircraft radio station license If you don't have an FRN number: www.fcc.gov/wireless/universal-licensing-system?job=home Go to "new user registration" You'll receive a verification email - click the link and log in. Select "Register new FRN" Select "Individual" or LLC, depending on your situation Select "CORES FRN Registration" Complete all information and submit Note your FRN number Once you have an FRN number (new or existing): Go back to www.fcc.gov/wireless/universal-licensing-system Select "File online" use FRN number and the password you registered with to login Select "(2) apply for a new license" Select "AC Aircraft" "Will you be making international flights": Yes. Fleet license: No Portable license: No Classification: Private Aircraft Continue through, sign, then "Continue to CORES for payment" Select "Bills and fees" Select "ULS pay fees" If the payment doesn't go through, you can go to: apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do Select "Bills and fees" "FRN Financial" "View/Make Payments" Once the license is ready, use link in the email received, or: Go back to www.fcc.gov/wireless/universal-licensing-system Select "File online" Go to "my licenses" "View complete license" in the bottom of the page
Thank you - great tutorial. Was looking for a long time to find such a good instruction for G1000.
@@brunosolothurnmann9205 Thanks for the feedback and for stopping by!
Old CIA cocaine strip, had one in meadview also😂
I’m new to Garmin & going to be flying with a G1000Nxi soon. I’ve flown Universal, Honeywell, Collins advanced & Dynon. This is the best presentation I’ve seen even after 25+ years of semi annual sim re-current “fun”.
@@albertyowell5455 thanks man! Enjoy your flying!
If you lose it, would you buy it again or opt for a different bag or sets of bags?
@@SpeakingHeart777 I would buy it again. Another few years / thousand hours later and it still does what I want. I like the integrated cooler that carries several days’ worth of food, and I would not want to carry 2 bags. That does make the bag just a touch larger than I’d prefer but that’s the tradeoff of having 1 bag vs 2.
I have flown single engine pistons into Canada from the PNW a handful of times and each time, I have had to refresh my knowledge of the differences which takes several hours. Your video was a perfect refresher! Thanks for putting it together.
Excellent video, very professional. you should do more videos of the Garmin 1000
Thank you! If I could only find the time!
1 caveat - 27:56 You must file a flight plan - OR - a flight itinerary. The flight itinerary is as simple as telling your partner, parent, neighbour, friend; where you're flying to and when you expect to be back. Giving them the knowledge to contact SAR if you fail to return.
Indeed! Apologies for omitting that. As foreigner travelers, that option had limited value for us.
Great tutorial, thanks for the detail!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you very much!!
Doesn't it snag when it's hooked on your rollaboard wheel it through the aisle? Thanks.
I usually take it off and carry them separately vs trying to wheel them along hitting everyone along the way.
Clumsy. ATC should be computerized and autopilot should be runway to runway.
Very informative and well done, but I do have a question. It seems like videos on this topic steer clear of IFR. Is there a particular reason to avoid IFR and stay in VFR rules in Canada? Said another way, is VFR flight recommended in Canada - even for a GA pilot who usually flies cross-country IFR in the U.S.? It seems like it would reduce the risk of running afoul of Canadian airspace differences and generally be safer. Thoughts? Thanks again…
Thanks! I chose to stay VFR focused in the video largely because that's the kind of flying we did and what I learned about most. We wanted to fly around the mountains and sightsee, and IFR was not really conducive to that. A few of our group did fly IFR, and it can streamline things as you say since I think it's mostly the same as in the US. The one complication we had in our G1000s was getting the correct database configuration. Many G1000s cannot have more than one active nav database, and can't activate a standby database on demand. So if you have separate US and Canada databases, you can't switch them easily. The best practice is to have a North America database that covers both.
Thanks for the quick and informative reply!
@@robertolson9875 If you are worried about running afoul of airspace, just ask for VFR radar surveillance (flight following in the USA) - this works great in the more populated areas of Canada, but not so much when you get farther North.
Thank you for this!
Excellent video, I too have watched and searched for explanations and this is by far the best video on this topic yet. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Just found this video, great views and memories of doing this trip in 2004. Thanks.
super super helpful!!!!!!!
Very informative. I’m planning a flight to Montreal in a couple of months.
Best, best ever, I will keep watching till there is no tomorrow, seriously great presentation
does this bag have a sleeve to slide over the handle of a rolling suitcase?
Yes it does! It has a sleeve that can also zip closed on the bottom and be used for storage of slim objects like checklists or dispatch releases. Sorry I omitted that!
Thanx a lot. Very useful video. 👍
Excellent
Does this bag fit under a seat if deadheading?
I always get it overhead but I'm pretty sure it will fit under the seat *if not packed too high*. If you have the cooler bag full and stuff on top of that it might not.
❤ excellent exclamation of a difficult subject… Thanks
Watched a few of these g1000 explainers. This is by far the best. It is still very dense, and nothing replaces practices, but the way you peel the onion layers didactically is amazing. So much hward work, and only 27 comments. Thanks so much man!!
Really appreciate the feedback!
Amazing!
Thank you so much James for doing all these awesome videos. Appreciate your hard work :)
Great video. You are an excellent teacher.
Would you share the PowerPoint?
Thanks for the excellent training video.
Fantastic presentation! Thank you!
This is a wonderful video. on the slide "types of G100 Vertical Guidance" you make reference to the advisory glidepath (+V) and state that this is only available on LNAV and LP approaches with published Vertical Descent Angle (VDA). My question is that VDA is shown on FAA approach plates by the angle symbol on the profile view. The "v" is a different concept -- visual descent point. If I understand you correctly, the advisory glidepath should be available if the VDA is shown in profile view even if there is no VDP shown by a bold "v." For example, look at RNAV (GPS) RWY 29 into KLLR. This has an LP approach and a VDA of 3.5 degrees but no VDP. I should get +V on this approach. Is this correct?
@perossichi1, Thank you! You are correct that you may receive +V vertical guidance even if there is not a VDP on the chart. On the LLR approach, and all approaches with LP minimums, whether you receive +V guidance depends not only on the existance of a VDA, but also on the type of G1000. The Cessna non-NXi G1000s do not provide LP+V service, but I believe the cessna NXi G1000s do. I also believe Cirrus Perspective+ G1000s do, and I am certain the GTN 650 and 750 do. The sure way to tell on a G1000 is when you load the approach it will say “LP” or “LP+V” out to the right of the approach name in the FPL line where the title of the approach appears (above all the fixes).
The funny thing is that my old 530W in my previous plane DA40 would give me Lnav+v on this very approach.
@@perossichi1 Interesting. Maybe it was before there were LP minimums? Or it may not be LP capable - I believe only later software versions are.
Great video! Recommended for any US pilots flying to Canada first time or as a refresher.
Incredibly helpful and informative video, well done!
Very good tutorial……if like me don’t have VNAV (unfortunately) then got use old school…..don’t descend below LSALT for the route or when within 25nm MSA descend and manoeuvre as required not below MSA then use,for 3 deg GP, rule of thumb, GS x 5 for your VS from where the GP commences……..arm the App when cleared to couple to Glide slope……..VNAV is so much better but hey old school works!
Please do more of these. Most helpful practice I’ve found yet. Thank you!
Great video, thank you very much! Exactly what I'm looking to practice!
It seems almost impossible to comprehend especially when you get behind the 8-ball and have a ton of changes coming at you 🤪
Thanks so much this help a lot
VERY helpful. I am flying VATSIM and this is invaluable! Thanks for the great help.
Your video is probably the best I have seen on youtube. You kept the pace nice and easy. You showed all notes. The details were simply incredible and the example was really very good and appropriate. Of course, your teaching style was really great. I hope to see more video tutorials from you. Thank you.
