  • Pulled from the AOPA Air Safety Institute archives, this VHS (©1992) provides great tips for planning and conducting single pilot IFR that are still relevant today. For the full nostalgic experience read through our Safety Advisor that originally accompanied this VHS (last updated in 2006): www.aopa.org/-/media/Files/AO...
    While instrument flying has modernized since (1992), the principles of successful single-pilot resource management, thorough preflight planning, and sound decision making have stayed the same. "Single-pilot IFR can be as safe as you choose to make it, and there are many things you can do to make it safer."

    Love the intro music! Sounds like something else I very occasionally was able to snatch a view of my older brother's VHS 😳🤣

    Very relevant and important in reminding us that the basic skills are still needed no matter how far technology has taken us in the past 30 years.

    I love the fact the pilot is using an old landline phone and is using a handheld radio to call the tower/clearance delivery. Today's technology makes piloting so much easier.

      Agreed. Do it. I got my PPL, bought into an airplane and scheduled my IR training to start about 5-6 weeks after I was signed off to fly "my" plane. Awesome experience.

    I received my IFR rating in 1992. I still have the VHS Tapes with this and many other aviation videos. Technology has come a long way. With Garmin Pilot, Foreflight, more accurate weather forecast, in cockpit radar (though delayed by minutes), and better autopilots there is more information and capabilities to enhance IFR and VFR flying experience. But don't let the new technologies lull you into not making sound go/no go decisions. Those decisions are still the same.

    Single pilot IFR in IMC is actually fun with an AP, and it’s a lot of unnecessary stress without.

    • @williambutler2177
      @williambutler2177 3 роки тому +3

      From my experience I've never been in a GA airplane with an autopilot. Seen a few in UA-cam videos for two or three orders of magnitude higher cost than I can afford.
      Want regular pilots to use higher quality equipment to be safer, then reduce the cost of getting that equipment by reducing the need corporate liability coverage. IMHO

    • @svenf1
      @svenf1 3 роки тому +7

      William Butler Well today's digital APs are actually quite affordable; the installation is the more expensive part as it still requires to get to work a system of computing hardware and software, cables, pulleys and servos. Once it's up and running and used correctly within the operational limitations (it definitely takes some practice) it's the best tool ever to have in a cockpit. No wonder it's the way pretty much all commercial planes are being flown.
      Even a simple wing leveler can be of great help and contribute to safety in single pilot IFR if budget is a concern.

    • @scottpatterson4105
      @scottpatterson4105 3 роки тому

      @jack torrence Because they're trying to maintain ground visibility. The autopilot wasn't programmed to an IFR flight plan and the aircraft wasn't at a proper altitude and has no knowledge of existing traffic.
      It will give you level flight into terrain.

    Greatly appreciate! Some advice can turn out to be useful for flight simmers too, since it is mainly single pilot IFR. I'm not comparing simmers to real life pilot, just saying it might be useful also for people who can't afford RL flights (yet). Cheers from italy

  • @robbflynn4325
    @robbflynn4325 3 роки тому +1

    Really interesting video. I think to obtain a PPL, pilots should be proficient in IFR as it seems to me a lot of accidents occur as a result of VFR pilots suddenly finding themselves in poor conditions. I realize this would increase the number of hours required in order to obtain the right to fly but it would save a lot of lives.

    • @coreyandnathanielchartier3749
      @coreyandnathanielchartier3749 Рік тому

      Usually, unintentional flight into IMC is a judgement problem, not a training problem. Careless VFR pilots 'dipping their toes' into bad weather and then get trapped.

    I would have ignored a controller lapse and intercepted the LOC. It was very enjoyable when I did it!!

  • @jibeneyto91
    @jibeneyto91 3 роки тому

    At 27:00 - I don't see why the turn back onto the loc had to be so steep other than maybe for dramatic effect for the video. Just perform a standard rate 1 turn.

    There was a difference between using the word "Mayday" and using the word "Emergency" back in the 80's? I've always thought of them as 'death is on the line' words with no meaningful distinction between them; but I started flying a bit into the 90's.

      Reason being you’ll lose your attitude and heading indicator and could experience vertigo. Whereas when you’re not in the clouds the attitude indicator is just a back up to looking outside and seeing the real horizon.

  • @coreyandnathanielchartier3749

    All the new technology is great, but every bit of it continues to take the pilot's eyes away from the primary instruments. BTW, if you need on board weather radar, you're probably flying too close to 'weather'. You're not flying an airliner. Maybe it's better to be on one....
