*I'm on lesson #5 of IFR, and your videos helped me get my Private as well! And I can't say enough good things about finding a friend to do safety pilot hours with you, splits costs', great help to me so far!!*
Sitting the IFR flight test in a few days from now. Starting my IFR training was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my flying journey. I've been flying VFR for over 10 years and although learning IFR has been VERY challenging because there is so much to learn... it has significantly improved my base level skills (i.e., speaking with ATC, getting clearances, managing the aircraft, workflow etc). If I had the money, I would have done this rating years ago!
Great advice! I was looking back at my logbook. Right after getting my private in 2002 I started taking friends or my wife on cross-countries in a 152 for $100 hamburgers or just flightseeing. I made it a point to try to pick out new airports I had never flown to - VNC, SEF, COI, FMY, TIX, CGC, VRB and others (OCF a few times, but I did that one on my Private VFR CCs). I got my private in June and was working on my instrument by November.
Back when I got my private ticket, I made the decision to pursue my commercial ticket as a way to build time toward my instrument. I subsequently went ahead and completed CFII, and SMEL. Your instructional channels are outstanding!
I got my Private in 1966, I never advanced to my instrument. Looking back.....that is absolutely without a doubt the single most important rating I should have earned!!! If you’re going to fly, and be safe for You and your passengers, YOU NEED to be instrument rated!!! (The voice of experience). Night? VFR? Black as ink! Been there!!! Scared poopless!! What you are saying? Right on! I flew out of ABQ.. wonderful area to fly!! But! BIG mountains to the north, missile range to the south and miles of desolation. Get rated!
Roger that! Plan on starting my IFR training when the plane is available. I appreciate you giving advise as I have been flying on dark nights using "group lighting" as a course. lol. Joke i've heard was IFR stood for "I Fly by Roads". lol Take care AL
You are spot on in regards to comm. I became very good at 150/152/172 flying out of a unicom. When I started renting out of Aurora where there was a tower it was an awaking all over again. I now work out of a very busy "D" that resides under the umbrella of a class "B".
Great information Jason. Thank you. As far as what you're saying, I love VFR flight following. For the life of me, I cannot understand why other VFR pilots either don't like it or just don't use it. To me, it just makes sense if ATC is free to provide it. If, for no other reason that it's another layer of safety.
My instructor always told me, stay ahead of the plane. If you’re flying within IFR, always be doing something. If you find yourself doing nothing in the airplane, you’re either 1. Going to get behind it 2. Already behind the aircraft. Stay ahead and stay busy to make instrument flying easier for yourself
Hey Mr. Jason, my name is Nick, my dad is a 777 captain for American, I’m in the middle of my private aspiring to be like my dad and I’m out of KSUA I’d love to fly with you one day your videos are awesome.
Damn Im under 80 hours and the few x/c I have done I use flight following. Honestly I just feel comfortable knowing they are watching out for traffic for me.
Been watching so many of your vid's, going to get my IR started after the new year. 2020 has been .... "different", 2021 and on will be fantastic. Take care and Happy New Year. BTW, will buy your course training. Hopefully get my friend to get his private course through you as well. He's got more money, I'll rent his plane. hahahahaha!
We're hoping for a safe and productive New Year as well! We look forward to seeing you on the course and are ready to help with any questions you have!
A different, but I hope relevant, question: I hear your suggestion about getting about 25 hours cross country after obtaining PPC before starting instrument training. But what about a suggestion of overall experience as a private pilot? Should one have at least 100 hours? Or more. Or do you advocate diving in for instrument training once you complete 25 hours cross country after PPC? Thanks in advance.
Hi Gil! Thanks for watching! A good pilot is always learning, so really it can be either one. If you decide to fly more hours as a Private Pilot, make sure to continue to learn in the process. You could also do your 25 hours during your instrument as IFR XCs if you so choose. There is no "wrong" way, but just whatever you do make sure that you are learning. If you need any more clarification or want to talk to a CFI about your training please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com. Fly safe!
Just passed my IFR checkride on 5/29 at 19 years old in hopes of getting with the airlines after college. On to the commercial!
You there yet?
You there yet?
You there yet?
Right on schedule, start my IFR training tomorrow.
Goodluck!
Cancelled. Due to good weather

Thank you for the very valuable advises and motivations. As private pilots we sometimes need to be reminded on our limits and to move beyond them.

Thanks for always being a positive and inspiring all of us to keep moving on in flying

I am on my way to my IFR Rating right now Jason! Thanks for posting these programs!

Very good tips for ifr training thanks.
Airman to Airman, I love your content good brother.
Hey there, appreciate you watching!
Another great video Jason! Thank you!

Starting mine now!!!

Website says closed to 2 week free trials
But you don't need the 50 hours if you are 141. Right?
