    18 for 18. I actually cancelled my IFR check ride due to marginal weather that was threatening to become solid IMC. Figured I didn’t want to be in actual IMC while doing a check ride. Got props from the DPE for “good ADM”. Rescheduled for 2 days later, and passed. The first thing the DPE said on check ride day was “you seem to have great personal minimums, I like that!”

      Reminds me of an early aviation disappointment. My best friend’s father was going to fly us to San Luis Obispo for a tour of the college. The flight was scrubbed “due to winds”. At the time, it was tough for me to reconcile, given that he was a former F-15 test pilot. Thinking back on that today, I have so much respect for making that safety decision. Also makes me wonder how crazy the weather must have been... yikes

    Probably a year after I did my commercial multi add-on (with instrument), I was flying a 172 out of Gaithersburg MD to Elon, NC - taking a friend back to school in NC while I headed on to Georgia. This was in 1993, so no on-board NEXRAD - all we had was DUATS and FSS, and what the briefer could describe to you on the phone. I launched into hard IMC and flew like that almost the entire way. I encountered intermittent rain enroute, which had NOT been forecast. ATC helped me maneuver around some embedded cells which I could not see - I just had to trust them. I broke out on the approach at about 1000 AGL, only to see a small cell sitting right on top of the airport. I went missed, held for five minutes, then went back for another try. By then the cell had moved off the airport and I got in. Another cell moved in right after I landed, so I quickly tied the plane down. This was to be a fuel stop/passenger dropoff on the way to Georgia, but once I got inside, called FSS and realized what the weather was doing, I knew I was done flying for the day. I ended up being stuck in North Carolina for the next two days, as the "storm system" turned into near hurricane force winds that ripped through the south.
    Looking back, if I had the weather resources available that we have today, along with the wisdom of 30 years of flying, I would NEVER have launched that initial flight. My personal minimums are a lot more conservative now today than they were as a young 20-something-year-old freshly minted pilot.

    18 for 18, I had just gotten my PPL many years ago, my friend wanted to take pictures of New Years Eve fireworks.
    The temp/dewpoint was 1 deg spread. I could see halos around ground lighting. That was it…a no go. On the drive home it became nearly 0/0 over most of the State of Florida and Georgia. The only way out was the Bahamas!
    I’m so glad I got my instrument rating a few years later. Even with an instrument rating it would still be a no go! But, having the instrument rating I would not have even left the house because you become much more aware of weather forecasts and the big weather picture.

    18/18. I have had 4 no-gos already this month due to weather. Even though I am flying a FIKI aircraft, I still will avoid ice. You just never know the intensity you may encounter. It is interesting how some pilots I know will treat their weather brief as the law, but they seem to complain the loudest when the civilian weather gets it wrong. All weather forecasts are probability based and should be treated as such. Things change.

    (Almost) 18 for 18. Love to hear you say this Jason ! Many times we feel that just because we have the Instrument ticket we are obligated to fly through solid IMC. This is a skill that needs to be developed and respected. Similar to 4WD, doesn’t give you a free pass in a blizzard.

    Once as a PVT pilot I was flying when storms got between me and destination. I landed but not a general aviation field. It was private and I was told to leave. So I took off and got into heavy rain and only by grace of God did I land safely at my alternate. My take away was- know how to navigate VFR around your planned route and get an instrument rating.

    Thanks for this video. Im studying the Instrument theory right now. One of my instructors said, once I get an instrument rating, don't go using it to fly in IMC right away. Practice IFR flying in VMC for a while first. Going straight into wanting to fly in cloud is a quick recipe for trouble.

    Lost a member of our flight club who had a brand new instrument rating. He had low hours in a light twin he was renting to take his sister and friend out to visit other family on the east coast. Before he started back to home base his other sister called and told him how terrible the weather was at home with poor visibility very heavy gusty winds and snow. He assured her they would be fine, he called it a go. His flight instructor texted him and let him know the weather was a no go in his opinion. I do not know if he got the text but in my friend's judgement it was a go and he almost made it except for his approach to the home airport with a controlled flight into terrain. Three fatalities and a family and community left behind in shock.

    I see a lot of posts in different groups where the pilot or student is questioning their no-go decision asking if they should have gone. We have to recognize that mindset for what it is. It’s allowing external pressure to compromise safety. You’re PIC and if you are not comfortable, that’s a no-go. No one should convince you otherwise.

    Even after 20+ years in professional aviation flying “very capable” turboprops and narrow-body jets, flying in weather must be treated with respect. Every little nugget you learn while flying in weather can add a level of confidence, which can be good….and bad. Those little “wins” when you flew through yellow on the radar and it was smooth as glass can lead you to becoming over-confident the next time you see yellow. Self de-briefing your decisions after an IMC flight can greatly help you see where your decision making was, and maybe where you could’ve chosen an alternative plan. Learn learn learn! FYI, when I’m flying GA, my preference is breaking out around 1500 feet…and that’s if the weather along the route isn’t low as well.

    18 for 18: My last IFR flight was for my check ride back in 2014, before I ever even owned a cell phone....haha. However, in the next week or so I am expecting my avionics guy to send an email he is ready to install my upgrades. I know that once I get the new avionics I am going to have to take some time to get to know the functionality of them. After that I am going ot have to go up with a CFII to get proficient before I think about doing an IPC. Being able to watch videos like this that explain good aeronautical decision making in the IMC environment are valuable to my aviation mastery journey.

    18 for 18. Very good advice. Even though I'll eventually start my instrument rating, there's no reason for me to fly in bad weather. I survived 32 years with a job that had the possibility of me never coming home at the end of the day. The last thing that I want is to die in an airplane because I didn't respect the weather. There's too many people that have died because they thought that it wouldn't happen to them.

  • @jereberhard5529

    18 for 18! I agree with Jason... after getting my instrument rating, I will not launch into things that I previously had departed into VFR! "Fly below a LOW fly above a HIGH"... meaning fly south of a LOW and north of a HIGH in North America... I don't know about the rest of the world.

    18/4/18 N177VC. Been IFR rated for 4 years now. Best thing is it absolutely makes you a better and safer pilot. The number 1 thing flying IFR teaches you is weather can be fast and dangerous. Don’t push it. My personal minimum is 1,000 ceiling. I’ve been in the clouds a bunch but most of it was flying above the clouds and then descending for approach. You really learn to brief the weather and be aware of what’s out there. Always be ahead of the plane. I fully brief my destination approach so nothing is a surprise. Brief the airport diagram for your most likely taxi instructions. Did unusual attitude and spin training with Patty Wagstaff. Great learning. Will repeat at two years. Respect the weather and enjoy your trip. You DONT have to be anywhere that bad. A great weather truism is “I’d rather be on the ground wishing I was up, than up there wishing I was on the ground!

    18 for 18 When Thunderstorms are moving in I will have my aircraft Radio on listening to Pilots, asking ATC to deviate around the storms so they won't have to fly through them. It also helps me to know how the storms are moving in and I can tell where they are and if we will be in the worst of it. I like it when the planes fly over me or in my area flying around the storms.

    18 for 18. Personal minimums are a must for IFR flying. I had 1,000 feet for several years after getting my instrument rating. Now it depends on my personal currency in actual, but generally 800 feet with family and as 400 feet to minimums solo or with other pilots (second set of eyes). This time of year in the Northeast I tend to get out of currency since much of actual also includes icing....a big no go just like TS.

  • @mattj65816
    @mattj65816 4 місяці тому

    It’s a lot of fun to blast off when the ceilings are 800-1,000 and it’s warm enough that ice is out of the question and it’s gloomy but there is no real energy in the atmosphere and nothing frontal is imminent. But yeah, once it gets more dynamic than that, I hang it up and go a different day. Nothing I do in an airplane is that important.

    I started flight training a couple years ago. When I flew my 3 leg solo X-country; the weather was forecasted to be a good day for a cross country with a few clouds, and I used flight following during the duration of the flight. During my third leg, I visually see outside 50 miles ahead that fog started to form at the destination airport. I checked the weather via ForeFlight, KEUG ATIS, and ATC, so I decided to divert back to S12 where I originally took off from to land while the weather was still good over there. I was flying in the Pacific Northwest, so weather conditions can change rapidly. Thanks for the content Jason, and I’m happy to tell you that I aspire to get my instrument rating one day.

    I got my IR and I have just a few hours of actual IMC, but I've never actually used the privileges. Even after getting the ticket my actual time on an instrument flight plan has been with a CFII for practice. I admit I'm conservative in my weather planning, but for flying single engine I sort of view the IR as a learning experience to get better acquainted with flying, and as a tool that I can use to get out of an airport that is socked in by clouds to a nearby area that is VFR, or if unexpected clouds move in that weren't predicted. I don't know that I trust myself or the aircraft enough to launch a single engine light airplane into hard IMC for a XC flight in those conditions with just myself at the controls.

    @GVSolo 4 місяці тому

    18 of 18 done. 👍 A few things I would add here. Minimums are not just about VFR/SVFR or the IFR procedure minimums, it also involves other elements. No matter if it's VMC or IMC you always have to determine and take into account one's personal minimums, the aircraft's performance minimums, and even the passengers minimums. Also, when it comes to weather we have to remember that the information that we get on our electronic display systems is not real-time. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the information that we receivr on our displays is old raging from five minutes to one hour. So never rely solely on that. Use AWOS/ASOS/ATIS when available by any connectivity means you have to them. Always have a plan B. All in all, as one very wise instructor told me, "it's better to be on the ground wishing to be flying than flying and wishing to be on the ground."

    18/18. My personal minimums are 1000' or pattern altitude. I want to see the field from a sufficient height in case something bad happens and I need to maneuver without worrying about popping back into the clouds (which happened to me once on an approach to a 600' minimum).

    Some of the viewers below, and even Jason, may disagree with the following opinion - but I’ll respectfully toss it out for others to respectfully disagree with. I’ve heard many experienced instrument rated pilots agree with what I’m about to say. IMHO if you have an instrument rating, you should use it frequently and all the way to the safe edge of your proficiency. This includes maintaining your personal minimums for an IMC approach as close to ILS minimums as possible. Beginning the week after passing my IR check ride, I was back up with my CFII shooting approaches in actual IMC. One day while flying with an instructor, METAR said we’d break out 300 feet above minimums - and the METAR was wrong. We broke out straight up at minimums. Landed with a greaser of a touchdown. Although not required for legal currency, I fly IFR (either under the hood or IMC) down to minimums with CFII all the time. It’s been a huge boost for my skills, proficiency and confidence. While I don’t seek out IMC to minimums single pilot with family on board, if I encountered it today I’m confident in my skills. Use it or lose it. I worked too friggin’ hard on the rating to let those skills diminish.

    18 for 18, great advice. As a newer private pilot I don’t want to just be a fair weather flyer. Also, I don’t ever want to jeopardize my family or friends with poor judgment either. So, I’ll always error on the side of caution to the beat of my ability. Thanks for another great video.

    I try to make a decision to go into a cloud on two things, how big is the buildup, if any, and if I can see what weather is on the other side. If I can't see what's on the other side, I will try to deviate if the the cloud looks like its building rapidly, or if there is an obvious route around the weather in front of me.
