I apologize if my “marginal VFR” comment was taken literally.You should be commended for taking ifr students into imc conditions as part of their training.Too often this is omitted, due to lack of conducive weather or fear on the part of a cfii .My grizzled instructor had me fly a 300nm trip in imc and level two rain, ending in an approach to ils minimums.The rain was so loud that I could barely hear the overhead speaker; this was in days before headsets. Thereafter,I preferred flying in imc to wearing a hood.It makes a better pilot. Knowing a few power configurations (& expected speeds)is critical in a busy environment of descent, maneuvering & approach.Excellent training points made!
I know you are training IFR but when landing youll be visual and the reflection of the checklist and charts on the side of cockpit windows isnt ideal, additionally you need peripheral vision it really helps when landing (Lindbergh reference). Its great to ACTUALLY fly IMC rather than be under the hood, its alot more stressful/work for the CFI but its absolutely invaluable, you dont want to get your IR and the first time you really encounter cloud is sinlge pilot.
Level prior to FAF... 17"/2300rpm, 0 deg pitch, flaps 10deg, 100kts.... as you intercept the glideslope, GEAR DOWN, pitch -2 deg... magically gives you -500 fpm 100kts You never touch the engine or trim. Doesn't get any simpler than that. "IFR A Structured Approach" by John C. Eckalbar
Not quite, Almost. All airplanes fly at the speed they are trimmed. Any change in trim also changes speed. Down 2 trim will increase speed. Not much but that how the world works
Sheesh. Don't you teach your students to keep the props synced at all times? That beat is irritating as hell to your pax and they're not going to rate your work as a "smooth flight"
"Hard IMC" conditions? I respectfully disagree. At the very best, this is "run of the mill" IMC conditions. Kudos to you for not using the auto-pilot to intercept the approach and begin the descent. Each day the pool of pilots capable of actually flying the airplane without the crutch of the autopilot becomes smaller and smaller.
Hey, that's Palomar! I fly out of there! Great video, good instruction.
x4457 Thanks :)

god i forgot how long it takes to shoot an approach in a piston lol. could have taken a nap
Hand flying a multi in hard IMC. That's making a real pilot out of you

Aient that the truth Well said !!!
stop playing with the throttles all the way down
Looks MVFR to me.
Agreed

Great video but you should practice your power management. You could have smoothed that out easy. Instead of giving your viewers a headache.
This was hard to watch, lmao
