Delay vectors are the #1 thing I recommend for students to use on an IFR checkride. Don’t ever feel forced to proceed on an approach that you are ready for! Delay vectors are always an option.
One of the first things I say to my students is that ATC is there to help. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance. The worst thing that can happen to you if you ask is being yelled at. Which is nothing compared to getting pilot deviation or even worse, becoming a smoking hole in the ground. Always double-check the clearance and ask for assistance as necessary.
My examiner loved it when we had a super quick hop from one airport to the next approach and I asked ATC to take me out “nice and wide” for some extra time.
When task saturated and needing to program it's useful to ask for a vector to the IAF for the new approach, so you can at least be going the right way while you work out the details. My Maule is slow enough it's a built in delay vector on its own. Even when flying a Bonanza, assuming you will be landing on the same runway you missed, just a different IAP, you'll have plenty of time.
«maybe "Controller" is not the best term for them» - exactly. We call them "Dispatchers" in Russian. We also do not let Captains fly the airplane, we leave that word to seamen. Airplane is flown by Commander, this word bears the same meaning as PIC.
Highly highly unlikely you to be approved for a cruise clearance in this scenario, as it also automatically approves you to execute and fly an IAP. You may be better off requesting a block altitude.

Your videos are just too good❤.
which plane is FS is he using that doesn't have the g1000? I want to download it.

Perhaps ‘Coordinator’ is a better description
2 calls to save your IFR flight: Standby and Unable. Too many pilots don’t use those enough.
dont you have de-icing equipment?
won't help you in the air. You need anti-ice.
@@alexeygusev698 thats what i meant.
Controllers and pilots on the same team is wishful thinking to the limit.
Don't call me Radio, Unit 91
Ok radio
