04:18 Flying the Approach
SERIES INTRO
Are you a VFR pilot that hates being grounded just because there is a cloud layer over the airport? What if you could take off on a day with a 2,000-foot overcast then climb through a few hundred feet of clouds to cruise on top in clear weather?
Join CFI-I Spencer Suderman and learn what general aviation IFR is all about in Sporty's IFR Insights Series.

This was super helpful, thank you. I'm also giggling thinking of you saying you want your student to see the lights and imagining tower looking out and seeing you flying alone lol.

[@locustvalleystring]

Very clearly presented. Thank you.

[@jakew9887]

Excellent presentation. Thanks

[@nicoleoneil9051]

Thank you for this video!! Really helped me grasp an understanding of a beautifully executed ILS approach. :) Will be recommending.

[@brucehomstad5256]

Agreed… great video

[@NamNguyen-hg3vf]

Very useful

[@planelander]

Love these vids; very well done!

[@theflyingbman]

Awesome

[@ajborda]

Great video. I would suggest that you find an aircraft with an Aspen and IFD so that your viewers can see how easy that setup is compared to the Garmin!

Great video as always. Iam from the old school. Got my instrument rating over 55 years ago. That being said, even though technology is great it can reduce the pilots workload it can also, it can make a pilot become complacent, and rely too much on modern technology. My biggest concern is, in a heavy IMC CONDITIONS, pilot can enter a wrong digit, or data from not knowing. Hence, setting themselves up for disaster. I have never, used a AP, frankly, because, I have never trust it, even, when I was a freight dog.
I believe, I will stay with the old method of instrument flying as much as possible , once, I get current again.
I got my ratings, to get enjoyment of flying the plane, not be a observer in the cockpit! Safe flying!

I'm from the old school, 6 pack, steam gagues style :) I got my instrument rating over 42 years ago ... I love flying in IMC conditions .. it keeps my mind alert .. like you I rearly use AP and "love flying the plane and not be a cockpit observer!"

[@raym984]

I’m a fresh instrument student and this seems intimidating to manage. Hopefully I’ll get there soon.

"When the approach was activated . . (9:24) " What exactly activated the approach? Flight to very near the final approach course? Or the pilot pressing a button? I didn't see.

[@dane59589]

Odd, your PFD doesn't annunciate what the autopilot is doing; the second row from the top, which is blank, would in my plane annuciate "HDG" or "LOC" and next to that "ALT" or "GS." Did you have the A/P engaged, or is this just a different implementation in the C172?

[@ssairshows]

Hi Dan, Thanks for watching! This plane has the Bendix KAP 140 autopilot and it was engaged. In this setup It's not fully integrated with the G1000. The 140 gets heading info from the HSI and glideslope in ILS or glidepath in RNAV mode; however, altitude must be controlled directly on the 140.

Great video. ! Thx!

I think glass makes pilots lazy, and when it fails they are in trouble.
