Going Missed Using Autopilot | Common IFR Checkride Fail
Вставка

- Autopilot is supposed to make your life easier, but if you're not well versed in using it, things can go wrong quickly, especially when you most need to be on your game, while going missed on an IFR approach.

As always... Love this videos! Without a doubt the best most informative and most clearest designed flight videos out 🎬✈️🛫🛬🛩️🇺🇸
Usually about 50 feet from decision altitude on the ILS I will switch the CDI to GPS since I basically have no longer considering flying the localizer. At DA I click off the auto pilot as I apply power, establish a climb, clean up the airplane and about that time it is ready to just push the susp key. I also always keep my heading bugged, just in case I lose any kind of NAV and have to go to a heading mode. I practiced the same concept, even if I’m flying a VOR approach. The only time I really hand fly the aircraft is if the missed approach requires an immediate turn towards a heading or towards a fix/facility. Now we could talk about the more complicated procedure if you’re flying steam gauges with or without auto pilot and using a GTN 650 or 750 navigator.
You are so good at what you do. Thank you!
everyone has heard of people failing check rides due to not setting the CDI to nav / vice versa. However you can fail just as easily forgetting to press SUSP. on the missed approach. Great video the 5 C's should be used its a great mnemonic. Don't forget to click Susp. and click off the auto pilot if u want to pass the check ride and stay safe.
Everyone already knows that "they" can fail you for whatever nonsense they like.
No video can help enough to fight the corrupted system of the present day.
Too many acronyms. When I learned to fly we just did that. No automation. Stick and rudder, ball and shutter. Automation and autopilot was a luxury reserved for bizjets. We should teach basics to hand fly approaches, missed approaches because one day the automation may not be available on the airplane or tagged out inop.
@@aviatortrucker6285 ok the world is different now. Even student pilot are flying g1000s and they need to be extremely well versed in avionics, acronyms just help. U seem grumpy
@@briansantana3157 no, I’m not grumpy. I’m just not one of the lucky ones that have a lot of money to rent airplanes that have such automation. The majority of airplanes might have a few glass cockpit gauges. Keeping current for $250 an hour is pretty steep just to fly G 1000. A student cannot fly a plane like they used to then they are bound for trouble when the automation doesn’t work. It’s the same way with driving a semi truck without a manual transmission. It may seem easier because of automation but just like sports, if you don’t do the foundation basics, this is where students get into trouble. Take my advice you’ll be a much better pilot. If you get training in a tail wheel airplane. I’m met somebody at the airport many years ago that was starting their private pilot in a tail dragger. It does make a difference. I’m glad that the new students are learning a whole New World but from my perspective I started when a Cessna 152 with an instructor cost $47 an hour dual. It was expensive then and it took me 10 years to get my commercial rating. Flying has never been a cheap endeavor.
@@aviatortrucker6285 ur preaching to the choir man I fly steam gauges at my school. We need to be teaching students advanced automation bc when they get their jobs 5 years from now it’s gonna be ALL glass.
Excellent presentation. Thanks
I enjoy your videos, great content and teaching. I am nearing my Instrument checkride, so I have a question regarding both approaches. I am told that if I decend below minimums that I would fail that portion of the check ride, in both examples you were slightly below published minimums. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Dan, what’s the reason that the AP is disconnected upon initiation of the missed approach? In the Cirrus Perspective Plus, there’s no need to disconnect the AP. Upon reaching DA with AP engaged, hit TO/GA (AP remains engaged), cram, clean, climb, and then select NAV / FLC modes to have the Flight Director / AP fly the published missed. Just curious.
Can not speak for Dan but most AP have an limitation of not to be used less than 400-500ft AGL. Not all planes have a TOGA, and not all of them act the same. In fact, some TOGA will disconnect the AP.
@@VejitaseiRoger that. Thank you!
Great stuff I think I would have used heading then nav. 😊
Disconnecting autopilot during a go-around seems like the worst idea ever. Isn't that when the workload is the highest and potential for spatial disorientation is the highest?.. Why can't we just have the autopilot fly the missed?
Most AP have a limit that they should not be used within 500ft AGL. If you are flying an approach with vertical guidance (LPV/ILS) the AP doesn't know you decided to go miss, and the actually sequencing point is normally the runway threshold (which are not over). We do not have CAT III landing capabilities so we have to disable the AP at DA. Normal practice is to disengage AP at DA, hand fly until the GPS sequences to the miss (normally but not always after crossing the runway threshold) and then then you can reengage he AP when > 500ft AGL (or 1000ft AGL as in this example).
The go around button in the King Airs I fly disconnects the AP for you. You don't want to be low to the ground and pushing buttons. Pilots should be hand flying to initiate the missed then through 400 AGL (my company SOPs) you can re engage the AP
Where did you get this garmin G1000 sim? I can only have this thing in MSFS 2020.
Garmin's site has a downloadable simulator. Lets you run a variety (but not all) of their navigators and PFDs. Unfortunately (for me) they don't have a G3X, so I get to learn other people's PFDs. They aren't that dissimilar, but I am still hopeful Garmin will eventually support their flagship affordable upgrade system.
@@pnzrldr Thanks.
G1000 Cessna would have a TO/GA button, just click that - it takes care of AP disconnect and resuming navigation for the missed
Wassup!
