Just to express how amazing this guy is as a teacher, I have yet to attend a SINGLE ground school class and have no formal/informal training with simulators and not only understood the entire video but even learnt what the jargon I usually hear pilots saying in videos when requesting landing descent & clearance AND the maps. Feel like I'm unlocking a whole new world 😅!The first thing I'll do when I start my classes is join your course. You're amazing! 👏👏👏
Totally agree! As I watched the video, I was stunned by how clear and concise his explanation was. So understandable!!! The best instruction I've seen, and I've spent a lot of time watching instructional videos. Amazing. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your content!!! Greatly appreciated.
I can't express how much I appreciate your videos. In 2 years, I've completed 4 ratings and now working on my CFI and just now discovered your channel. I will recommend your course to all my students and wish I would have known this was available during my training. Thank you for such excellent work! Please keep adding more content, I'll watch every video!!
When someone says you don't know how good you are at what you do...I am telling you. You are good at what you are doing. As Einstein said, If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough. Job well done explaining the complexities involved following IFR procedures. Thank you for the info and effort you put into this.
Well done! There's a wisdom in my country: "The maker of a teacher is a master"! I have bought your IFR ground school and I'm enjoying every single second. Thanks :)
Great video. One note: ATC will expect you to maintain the last speed restriction on the arrival until the next reduction described on the chart (250@10 notwithstanding). Increasing speed after complying with the 280 knots at the prescribed fix in this example would not be anticipated or appreciated by ATC. Mostly a turbojet issue but If you need to speed up to get down, communicate that with the controller. Keep up the great content!
I dont think I’ve ever commented on a UA-cam video. But man having my checkride tomorrow morning your videos are the best guides out on UA-cam. Thanks for the amazing videos and making me a better pilot. Cheers
Gonna give my private checkride soon and watching these makes me somewhat amped to get my instrument after hahah. It's great how useful IFR flight can be as it's way more planned out and procedural
Excellent review. Great stuff. One reminder: when given descend except maintain clearance one must adhere to ALL OTHER altitude crossing restrictions prior to hitting the assigned altitude. Seems obvious but don’t blow thru the other altitudes to get down.
I can only echo what everyone else has said. These videos are a godsend, and so easy to follow. They demystify the black art of navigation. I am a visual learner so these are my bread and butter.
Wow..you are simply the best trainer. The clarity of the subject, the visuals you have created to simplify learning and a very soothing voice of it all make these best videos in aviation training. Thank you for everything you are doing here. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and all you Aviation enthusiasts.
Amazing videos! What a visual treat which greatly helps in the understanding of the subject. You are doing a great service to the Aviation community. Keep it going and Thanks a lot.
That visual you made for this video is so unbelievably helpful and made everything click. I understood the concept before, but just from memory. now I have a full comprehension of the concept. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Terrific job!
Amazing graphic and animation to better illustrate what's going on with the very complicated chart for someone who just started reading charts. Very useful for even a flight simmer.
YOURS GENIUS , I WASTE A,LOT TIME INTENTED UNDERSTAND HOLDING PROCEDURE AND WITH YOUR EXPLANATION I FEEL BETTER. I LISTEN THREE TIME BUT IS OK OK OK . THANKS . RUBEN FROM PUERTO RICO USA
Amazing. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your content!!! Greatly appreciated. As I watched the video, I was stunned by how clear and concise your explanation was. So understandable!!! The best instruction I've seen, and I've spent a lot of time watching instructional videos. Subscribed and looking forward to more of your excellent content!
Excellent explanation! I'm not a real life pilot nor am I training to be but I've recently been enjoying flight simulators and aim to join the vatsim network and fly as realistically as possible following real life procedures. I've been studying charts using navigraph and trying to learn the lingo. I like the way you broke down each segment of the ATC responses/instructions and clearly explained them. Most other videos I have watched brush over this when explaining charts and leave many unanswered questions. I think I may actually get it now haha! A few weeks practicing these procedures and I'll be on vatsim in no time ;) Would love to see a video on fuel and how to calculate how much fuel is required based on your overall weight, distance and alternatives. I've tried doing this with the C172 Skyhawk but I also run software that allows you to take cargo jobs within the sim and because the aircraft has had the seats removed for cargo the weight etc doesn't align with the actual manufacturers performance data. Would be good to see an explanation of zero fuel weight, usable fuel weight and all the other weight specifications :)
NO!!! The 280K speed restriction KSETT continues through all waypoints beyond KSETT until the next published speed restriction or the 91.117 speed limit. Please refer to the AIM
Exactly correct. In fact the speeds ARE mandatory regardless of a descend via clearance. The speed also is an assigned speed until a new assignment. Or FAR(ie below 10,000’)
12:25 one thing that was not mentioned here, you MUST still follow any speed restrictions on the star. Although I have never heard this clearance in real life.
The last published speed on a STAR will be maintained by the aircraft until ATC deletes it, assigns a new speed, issues a vector, assigns a direct route or issues an approach clearance.
You can’t speed back up once the star slows you. Maintain last assigned airspeed until slowed by ATC, the star, or you go below 10,000. Also, it is very common to slow down while descending.
Your teaching style is simply amazing. The way you re-arrange the charts to make sense of the illustrations is wonderful, making for easy understanding. How do I sign up for your course? Am currently on my nailing me IR ticket. Thanks for the video. 🙏🏻
Great stuff but I have a question about a real life situation. I'll apply the question to the Bellingham example just to make it simple. Imagine your original clearance was to the airport with a Descend Via, landing North instruction. There is a tremendous amount of radio traffic (like you might get going into KLAX) and, when you get to TUBTY, you have still not received an approach clearance. Your radio has not failed, it's just that the controller has apparently been too busy with all the traffic he's handling. You're doing 210 KIAS and are at 3500' and you're crossing TUBTY. Now what do you do next?
So with this, lets say you are flying a STAR that has a crossing restriction at 12000 but your aircraft is not capable of flying at that altitude, would you be able to file for the STAR or accept it if given it since equipment is unable? this is the one thing that still confuses me with IFR training
Do you have a video that shows how to adjust your altimeter. For example your deporting attitude is 1200 feet in your arrival altitude is 4000 feet. I tried a lot of different ways but can’t seem to get the out to correct an adjustment thanks
Thank you for your concise explanation. I have a question regarding being “descend via”. In your example using the MADEE FOUR arrival, lets say ATC clears you to descend via, and you set 2000 for YAANO. After crossing say waypoint EVRTT, ATC says, “Due to conflicting traffic turn left heading 290, once c;ear of the traffic I’ll turn you back to resume the STAR”. What altitude do you descend to now? From a safety perspective, I would think to change the 2000 set in the altitude window to 14,000 and remain and remain at 14,000 till re-established on the published track before descending further. Is that correct? Can you kindly direct me to a source where I could find the proper procedure, please? Thanks in advance.
So is a STAR actually a type of Terminal Arrival Area (TAA)? I get the textual description of a TAA but I have no idea what it is... just an area... to go from enroute to an approach but... what does it look like?
A TAA is. Designated wedge of airspace you can maneuver in to get conveniently aligned for an RNAV approach. Its small. A STAR is meant to give a routine way for jets to get from the en route structure (think airliner cruising altitudes) to the instrument approach procedure. STARs are hence usually into large cities with large commercial airports and often start a hundred miles away.
"You can't lose altitude and slow down at the same time" ... Wat?? What about spoiler/speedbrakes? I seem to be able to do this fine in the flight sims unless they aren't realistic.
They are, and you can, up to an extent. Even in the sim though I think you'd have a tough time making a a speed restriction if you had to drop 10 000 feet in 15 miles. Maybe a clearer way of saying this would have been, you can't give up airspeed without holding onto more altitude, or vise versa. Hope that makes sense!

Love it. 2 months into my instrument training and this channel is an absolute help.
Glad to hear it! Let us know how training goes!
Excellent review. Great stuff. One reminder: when given descend except maintain clearance one must adhere to ALL OTHER altitude crossing restrictions prior to hitting the assigned altitude. Seems obvious but don’t blow thru the other altitudes to get down.
Thanks for that! Yes many ways to get caught off guard on the arrival
Bro this is the best video I’ve ever seen explains ifr arrival procedures. 100000x better than sportys and kings
Incredibly well done! It can be brutally hard to make something simple to understand, but you’ve done it yet again.

this is simply amazing demo. 11 out of 10 for clarity. blew my mind. congrats
Thank you!
Outstanding instruction
Amazing videos! What a visual treat which greatly helps in the understanding of the subject. You are doing a great service to the Aviation community. Keep it going and Thanks a lot.
The best graphical presentation I’ve ever seen regarding STAR procedures. You have a gift.
That visual you made for this video is so unbelievably helpful and made everything click. I understood the concept before, but just from memory. now I have a full comprehension of the concept. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Terrific job!
Descend and descend management with no doubt are the difficulties even in airline flying, thank u for sharing.
Amazing graphic and animation to better illustrate what's going on with the very complicated chart for someone who just started reading charts. Very useful for even a flight simmer.
Stunning work! Studying for my IFR written and this video has explain STAR approaches like no other! Thank you
Please keep doing more of these After watching your videos I actually understand the material
Excellent content! Graphics are the best I have seen in this type of video. Thanks so much!

I just discover this channel. This is one of the best at explaining the IFR procedures.
This guys videos are incredibly helpful
HELPFUL? Best ever! Thank you!
Awesome explanation! Slow, precise, clear and illustrated. Nice job!
You have an excellent manor for getting the information across.
I will most definitely be using you for my IFR! Wish I would have found you sooner!
i have to learn so much. luckily it's all a simulation at my side.
Just discovered your channel today. Your vids are top notch. Very professional and clear. Thank you.
I hope you are rich man, because your content sure is
As a dispatcher this is great stuff!
Great and easy to understand (rarely to see)…
Jaw on the floor on how well you explained stars - FAA should give you a number to call …. To help them out
Great refreshing course 😊 than you so much
Thank you, these videos are AMAZING and the explanations so good and clear!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
Great video ! So helpful , now i have a better idea of STAR's and descend Via, thanks a lot !
Awesome tutorial
I wish all CFIs are as clear at describing the procedures are you.
Best flight training ever 🎉
Incredibly helpful content thank you for posting these🤝🏻

great job, potomac approach frequency has changed since, if you're local to the ADIZ, you probably already know this.
NO!!! The 280K speed restriction KSETT continues through all waypoints beyond KSETT until the next published speed restriction or the 91.117 speed limit. Please refer to the AIM
Exactly correct. In fact the speeds ARE mandatory regardless of a descend via clearance. The speed also is an assigned speed until a new assignment. Or FAR(ie below 10,000’)

This is such a great video! Thank you
Great video tutorial. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great lesson and video.
You're most welcome!
Great use of graphics!
Wish you covered at what FPM the descent should be made
Another great video.
Just perfect, thanks...
Excellent!
The last published speed on a STAR will be maintained by the aircraft until ATC deletes it, assigns a new speed, issues a vector, assigns a direct route or issues an approach clearance.
You can’t speed back up once the star slows you. Maintain last assigned airspeed until slowed by ATC, the star, or you go below 10,000.
Also, it is very common to slow down while descending.
Where can I donate because the work and execution that goes into your Instrument videos are so brilliant that I want to support at least once.
Your teaching style is simply amazing. The way you re-arrange the charts to make sense of the illustrations is wonderful, making for easy understanding. How do I sign up for your course? Am currently on my nailing me IR ticket. Thanks for the video. 🙏🏻

Now what do you do next?
When flying a star and ATC gives you a descent clearance lower than the next segment altitude restriction, how do we comply with this?
Quick question on the hold at WAVES. Would ATC direct us to enter the hold, and under what conditions? Great videos. 👍
So with this, lets say you are flying a STAR that has a crossing restriction at 12000 but your aircraft is not capable of flying at that altitude, would you be able to file for the STAR or accept it if given it since equipment is unable? this is the one thing that still confuses me with IFR training
Why you don't use jeppesen charts for these presentation ?
Do you have a video that shows how to adjust your altimeter. For example your deporting attitude is 1200 feet in your arrival altitude is 4000 feet. I tried a lot of different ways but can’t seem to get the out to correct an adjustment thanks
Greattttttttt!!!!
Is “LANDING NOTH/NORTH TRANSITION” means the runway in use is in a northerly heading?
Can ATC amen minimum altitudes?
Correction. You can lose altitude and airspeed together. Contrary to the assertion at 7:48. Good content, nonetheless.
We’re counting on it… -ATC 😂😂
Is that MSFS?
AAhhh, where were you when I was training.... ;^)
Thank you for your concise explanation. I have a question regarding being “descend via”. In your example using the MADEE FOUR arrival, lets say ATC clears you to descend via, and you set 2000 for YAANO.

Is that correct? Can you kindly direct me to a source where I could find the proper procedure, please? Thanks in advance.
If ATC takes you off the STAR, they are required to give you an altitude to maintain. Decent via is cancelled.
@@SpicyFaceActual thank you for your clarification.

@@alanmeadows9703 thank you!
Reshoot this one with real world situations. Ie not sea leave at standard temp. Due West Texas or Idaho in the summer.
Flying using really that difficult after all

The problem is to get those charts for free... But good video
ATC certainly won't clear a C-172 for this type of STAR.
Nope, most of them are reserved for the faster movers.
Practice STAR on the G 1000 simulator. It will help you
For what it’s worth, I have done the MADEE into KBLI. ATC asked me to do rhe STAR even though I was at 5000ft
Sorry, but a TBM will have no trouble descending and slowing together.
