You could've easily just deleted this video, tried again and passed it to look like a boss on UA-cam. That's probably what I would've done. But instead you chose to post it on UA-cam as a training video. Being humble like this will make you a better pilot in real life. This will serve as a valuable lesson when you get your instrument rating in real life. Thanks.
There are 100s of videos about successful "I" exams, watch one, you have seen all. I always look for failures. You learn from the failures the most! (the biggest potential of simulations is that you don't die from them :D) Great video, and good job on the analysis of you mistakes.
Love the realism this simulator offers....It was actually awesome to see you get distracted and get "behind the airplane" when you entered IMC just like you would in a real flight...that is a benchmark of an accurate simulator. I am sure there are many moments where you forget you are in a simulator when you are flying. Good stuff!
I've watched a ton of vids in the past and am thrilled at how seriously you take flying in the sim. It's too easy to use it as a game because there are no consequences in the virtual world, except that it teaches you very bad habits that become the normal attitude toward flying. That's something you can't let creep into your flying. Very grateful that you have raised the bar in your vids. Thanks
Thanks, John. As my real-world training has progressed my intentional use of the sim has grown as well. It can be a place to build good habits or bad habits, but it will build habits, that's for sure.
Thanks for posting this. It is said that we learn more from failure than success and the fact that this is in the simulator means no harm, no foul but a great learning experience for all of us.
I applaud you and this video. This was the most refreshing real world video. I think this really helps ease the anxiety of making mistakes for new pilots. Thank you.
As I've said before, these videos are sooo . . valuable. I am grateful to you for doing it all in such an honest and transparent way. With these as targets for my way forward, it makes this hobby so much more worthwhile. As John Carson said below, you have raised the bar and in more ways than one. Thanks again.
A great way to ensure you don't track the wrong VOR is to always identify your VOR by its morse code identifier and that which is on your sectional or low-enroute... the moment you tune the VOR/VORTAC/TACAN and in the air if not possible sooner because you're tuning them on the ground. I see you have a com panel above your NAV/COM stack, just pressing nav 1 or nav 2 would have given you the code and alerted you right away. I hope that helps, my flight instructor used to pound that into my brain when I was working on my private, it made working on my instrument a joy because I'd already built good habits. As always you produce incredible videos, they're always a joy to watch
Brutally honest! Great learning experience. I fly 95% IFR. For me, 75% of a good flight is preflight planning and ALL that this entails. (Flight planning, maps/charts, NOTAMS, take off procedures, approach procedures, weather, frequencies, filing etc). If at any time I feel unprepared, rushed, confused, uncertain, it's usually because I didn't prepare well. The second key to IFR (and night flying) is cockpit organization; do I have everything I need where I want it. Is the cockpit set up (NAV/COM radios, lighting, squawk etc). Do I have a back up writing utensil for when I drop my pencil on the floor and cant reach it... All this stuff happens on the ground before I even start the engines or turn a wheel. Once airborne its a matter of executing that plan and the most important factor becomes staying ahead of the airplane. I am constantly calculating in my head when I need to level off, anticipating power settings, start a turn to my radial, the next VOR and when do I tune it, where do I start my descent, and review the approach. A good cross check is vital to this process. And when you start flying fast movers, you're talking thinking 100 miles or more ahead of the plane! Excellent debrief. That's how we become better aviators! As always, I enjoy the videos.
Thanks, Ram. Planning was a big part of this fail - not in prepping the radios or the flight log, that was all fine - but in particular in visualizing the route. I'm not used to looking at IFR low charts, so part of the problem was me being able to understand my place in space vs time in flight. In the second attempt I much better understood how the route would look and feel over the LA basin, and it helped a lot.
On The Glideslope aren't you glad it was in a sim, not real flight! A hip pocket plan you can always use is ask ATC for an initial vector while you scramble to recage your brain.
I know how easy it is just from streaming to get distracted, make mistakes, not be as prepared as you should be. In a way this is reassuring that it happens to us all!
I know I am late to the game but you posting this failed attempt is incredibly useful, I'd say far more useful than posting a flight were everything goes right. It really brings home how non trivial an IFR flight really is. Kudos. This is how you get experience, as someone said, experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
What an amazing experience! First, the sim is so immersive (watching via UA-cam) that I felt just as anxious as you must have. Thanks for posting these...
As usual, you have not disappointed us. It's so enjoyable to ride along with you and experience the learning curve as you do. Thank you for this. Better bring fly kid along with you for another pair of eyes and ears.
Awesome video, takes a lot to not only point out your mistakes but to also share them with the world. I think having these lessons learned and play by play recap/annotations really add value to the community! Keep it up!
My pleasure. I was really glad I'd recorded it so I could watch it. I didn't go into it expecting to fail it, so that was an unexpected benefit. I should probably record more flights just for the purpose of self-review.
this is like a replay for the first time I took my instrument check ride and failed - got lost...second time I passed. IFR flying tolerates no major mistakes. I like the "old school" approach NO moving maps, no autopilot. it would have been even tougher in hard IMC.
Yeah its amazing the difference it makes. Do it with the GPS unit up and the moving map on screen even if you think you aren't using it, and you have no problems. Take that away and suddenly I'm just a mess doubting if I have my needles backwards, chasing radials, etc.
Thank you for sharing this because I really want to get some training done with VFR since I do want to become a pilot in real life but don’t have the money for it. So therefore I’ve been thinking about joining pilotedge for their training program but been afraid of me messing up, but after watching this it shows that everybody makes mistakes and can learn from it!
Great video ! It´s the second video i´m watching with PilotEdge and it seems really to be a perfect "tool" to train ....I´m new in sim fly on X-plane and i´m french (lol) so ass you say "They are quick, be ready"
Although it was a failure, respect for posting video. you nail it, this what we need as well. We all learn from this. Good debrief. Greetings from The Netherlands.
This is one of the best learning videos that I believe you have done of the videos that I've watched so far. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have learned so much from this video.
Believe it or not, I found some of the Pilot Edge training to be much more challenging than the real world flying I did when I completed my instrument rating last year. Dont' sweat these mistakes. Good on you for removing the temptation to rely on GPS. That said - in real world - having even just an iPad is a huge and important aid to situational awareness that I wouldn't intentionally be without with my family in the plane. Good stuff
Thanks for that. That's how I think about it, too. But my checkrides will be no GPS so that's how I'm running things. When I'm flying with family or post checkride, however, I'll take as much situational awareness as I can get.
yes, my DPE allowed the use of an iPad but not with position indication. Today, I consider the iPad a mission critical item - especially if in a plane without a modern panel GPS. The situational awareness is just so helpful. Keep up the good work!
Fabulous. Hat off to you for posting this, it is these types of scenarios when you realise just how good/useful a procedural simulator can be. They may not simulate the feeling of flying that well, but there is so much other stuff going on all the time that they are just so authentic at replicating - task saturation and S.A being just a couple of them. Can't wait to see your 2nd at temp at this rating :)
As everyone already said, thanks for a great video! Great to see passing flights but there's much to learn from failures! I failed the CAT-11 three times before passing it but I learned new things from each failed attempt that when I passed the controller commented I handled the Bravo transitions "perfectly." Anyway, keep sharing videos, they're great! And waiting for your cockpit building book to come out... ;)
She did the exact same thing to me (gave me SMO instead of SLI) on my I-3. I almost did the same thing, but had a "WTF did she say?" moment and asked for clarification. I was climbing on autopilot, so I wasn't task saturated and it still almost bit me in the butt. Great video and analysis of the mistakes!
This is actually IMHO a very good example of why people need to stop shunning the autopilot. Especially simmers who think its cheating or they want to be flying. AP helps IMMENSLEY with task saturation and in the real world makes the airways safer. I get that AP on as soon as I can with everything set up, and then if I want to "do some real flying" I wait until some point enroute where I don't have a million things going on at the same time to take the controls back.
I have a great respect for you. Very few people in this world admit their own failures. Great video, very informative for everyone. Thanks a lot. By the way, I subscribed to your channel.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video and, as others have commented, your text overlays and your comments on your mistakes were really very instructive and helpful. So much better than watching someone simply go through the process, often without spotting the small but important details. Fantastic share. Thank you very much.
Me too. Can't wait to have one myself... personally I'd really like an MD-80 or 737 one but I bet it's way more expensive to build one of those even if it's more home made than pre-fab or using bought parts..
No need to feel intimidated. Sign up for the free trial, watch some of the training videos, and make the first flight. Then move on to the CAT ratings. You'll be rocking the radios in no time.
It's depressing how easy it is to make these mistakes. I have the same problems but compounded as I fly in VR so taking notes is SUPER hard. I stubbornly try to do it without notes and stuff like this happens regularly.
I really find it funny we have to put those "not for training" disclaimers at the start of videos. It's similar I guess to how a lawyer will advise what they're saying isn't legal advice, should that be the case. I'd just think people would know. Then again I'm sure actual pilots or student pilots do things like use faulty weather forecasts from The Weather Channel or a local news network before flying
Yeah, we were a small but tight group. I tried it for about a year, but can't justify the cost now. Not that it is not a good service, it is a great service and well worth the cost, but it is out of my budget
Also, what cloud system are you using? This looks like the new stock clouds of XP11. How does it compare to xEnviro? Looks? Performance? Thanks for the video, it was informative.
Those are the stock clouds. I find they do overcast really well. xEnviro looks great. Most of the time for me the stock performs just a bit better, but I use xEnviro when I can.
Thanks for the info. Since the improved stock clouds, I don't really see a need to purchase SMP or xEnviro - stock is good enough for me (not saying everybody has to feel the same).
The reason I don't use virtual atc is because I will not be able to write down the clearance at that speed and if I miss a piece it will cascade into more missed pieces, my writing speed is just not up to it. So I fly boringly on my own.
What's brightness projector are you using in your sim? Been thinking of getting my own 3-projector system, just looking at what ANSI brightness to get.
Hi. I don't remember the lumens, but they were pretty high for an ultra-short throw. If you go to the website www.ontheglideslope.net I have all the specs on what's in the sim.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Interesting how many it's produced and I appreciate the input. Just wanted everyone to know the second try, under the exact same conditions and no autopilot, was a solid pass. Here's the route: peaware.pilotedge.net/flight.cfm?id=198564
I appreciate the learning experience this provides but it should not be so bad to cause such anxiety. Sorry, but it is a "sim" that we are paying for haha......the anxiety comes when you really (in real life) violate a FAR.
+Tony Merlot she is a full time employee of PilotEdge. As I understand it that would mean she had at least 1,000 hours of real world or simulated ATC experience, in addition to the PilotEdge training.

Good on you for posting the fails as well as the wins. Very informative video, thanks for posting
Thanks much.
I love how you handled that. Thank you for sharing the fails as well as the wins. Great job.
Thanks, Bill.

What an amazing experience! First, the sim is so immersive (watching via UA-cam) that I felt just as anxious as you must have. Thanks for posting these...
Thanks, Steve. I enjoy doing it.
I cant begin to tell you how helpful that was. Thank you sir for sharing
As usual, you have not disappointed us. It's so enjoyable to ride along with you and experience the learning curve as you do. Thank you for this. Better bring fly kid along with you for another pair of eyes and ears.
Thank you. I should have him run the VORs!
Awesome video, takes a lot to not only point out your mistakes but to also share them with the world. I think having these lessons learned and play by play recap/annotations really add value to the community! Keep it up!
My pleasure. I was really glad I'd recorded it so I could watch it. I didn't go into it expecting to fail it, so that was an unexpected benefit. I should probably record more flights just for the purpose of self-review.
There is definitely value added in doing it, always something you find after the fact when your out of the element. That's what I do with RL flying.
Good thing you bombed in your basement and not 4,000 feet in IMC. I'm glad you posted this because we can all learn from it.
Indeed!
Thank you very much for sharing this, it shows how valuable simulations can be
Thank you!

Thank you and greetings!
Excellent video. I learned more from this video than I did many different I-3 pass videos.
Thank you for this video. Very interesting and a lot to learn from.
Thanks for posting this - a great teachable moment and good analysis of the human factors component.
This is one of the best learning videos that I believe you have done of the videos that I've watched so far. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have learned so much from this video.

I didn't record it! But I flew it today and passed with flying colors: peaware.pilotedge.net/flight.cfm?id=198564
that's a nice simulator you are in ..thanks for sharing the video...
Entirely appreciate you uploading this warts and all.
It's good to swallow your pride and post videos where you mess up, I think we learn more from these situations, good job
As everyone already said, thanks for a great video! Great to see passing flights but there's much to learn from failures!

Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. One can learn a lot from mistakes, all except the big one!
Indeed.
Sweet setup and thanks for sharing.
one of the best videos I've watched this year. Thanks.
Thanks much for watching.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video and, as others have commented, your text overlays and your comments on your mistakes were really very instructive and helpful. So much better than watching someone simply go through the process, often without spotting the small but important details. Fantastic share. Thank you very much.
Thanks much. I'm very glad you liked it.
way too cool! Love this home cockpit!
Thank you!
Me too. Can't wait to have one myself... personally I'd really like an MD-80 or 737 one but I bet it's way more expensive to build one of those even if it's more home made than pre-fab or using bought parts..
A great pilot is not defined by how good he can fly the aircraft, but how he handles the mistakes that he made.
Thanks Hans. I really do want to use the sim to make me a safer pilot.
Are you OK bud? It s been a while we have not see you around. Hoping everything is fine on your side! Take care (TIPAH)
Love watching your channel! Not to mention, more airports for me to download for Xplane 11 per your videos :)
Thank you. The more airports the better!
great video....makes me want to tryout pilot edge...ive always been completely intimidated
No need to feel intimidated. Sign up for the free trial, watch some of the training videos, and make the first flight. Then move on to the CAT ratings. You'll be rocking the radios in no time.
Glad I found this video!
I really want to try this!
Good learning experience. . What head set are you using? I am looking for one currently
Great learning video.
Can you tell me more about the “craft notes” you referred to in the video at 2:26?
CRAFT: Clearance / Route / Altitude / Frequency / Transponder. This is the information ATC will give you when giving you your clearance.
Awesome debrief!
Thanks much.
It's depressing how easy it is to make these mistakes. I have the same problems but compounded as I fly in VR so taking notes is SUPER hard. I stubbornly try to do it without notes and stuff like this happens regularly.

I was on PilotEdge when it was in Beta. That was, I think, about 4 years ago?
Wow!
Yeah, we were a small but tight group. I tried it for about a year, but can't justify the cost now. Not that it is not a good service, it is a great service and well worth the cost, but it is out of my budget
thanks for sharing this - great video
Thank you, Dave.
In "mistake eight" you mention you should have contacted ATC to get your location.. Curious what the wording of that call would look like.
Beautiful Cockpit, did you shear your plans online?
Also, what cloud system are you using? This looks like the new stock clouds of XP11. How does it compare to xEnviro? Looks? Performance?
Thanks for the video, it was informative.
Those are the stock clouds. I find they do overcast really well. xEnviro looks great. Most of the time for me the stock performs just a bit better, but I use xEnviro when I can.
Thanks for the info. Since the improved stock clouds, I don't really see a need to purchase SMP or xEnviro - stock is good enough for me (not saying everybody has to feel the same).
are those real people talking? is there actually people in these games that will roleplay air radio? if so thats fucking awesome.
no its a paid service
Thanks for sharing.
The reason I don't use virtual atc is because I will not be able to write down the clearance at that speed and if I miss a piece it will cascade into more missed pieces, my writing speed is just not up to it. So I fly boringly on my own.
You should give PilotEdge a try. You can fly VFR and not have to worry about IFR clearances ...
may as well get out go to the pub lol thanks for vid was great.
Good idea!
Nice video. You use flight plan on paper. From that web has caught?
Confirmation bias is such a powerful thing. Our brains can be so weird.
What's brightness projector are you using in your sim? Been thinking of getting my own 3-projector system, just looking at what ANSI brightness to get.
Hi. I don't remember the lumens, but they were pretty high for an ultra-short throw. If you go to the website www.ontheglideslope.net I have all the specs on what's in the sim.
Thank you.
good stuff...!!
What is the program that you have on your ipad ? The map app , not the instruments
Thank you!
Foreflight
Hello, which app did you use to get the map in your simulator? Thnx!
ForeFlight
Still Flying? Still using the homebuilt sim?
Great. Better than me!
I don't know about that, Bob, but thanks.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Interesting how many it's produced and I appreciate the input. Just wanted everyone to know the second try, under the exact same conditions and no autopilot, was a solid pass. Here's the route: peaware.pilotedge.net/flight.cfm?id=198564
How much did the full setup cost
How did you make this cockpit?
ooops! lol live and learn :)
The sound of ATC is too good... too clear. Sounds nothing like the AM transmissions in real life. Kind of ruins it for me.
Is that an iPad mini?
wow she had the sexiest voice for an ATC :D love her
I appreciate the learning experience this provides but it should not be so bad to cause such anxiety. Sorry, but it is a "sim" that we are paying for haha......the anxiety comes when you really (in real life) violate a FAR.
LOL
Are you a real pilot ?
I'm a student pilot with just over 30 hours.
Is the woman wanting to be a real atc person...what's her story..any idea?
She possibly is a real air traffic controller, doing this on the side.
+Tony Merlot she is a full time employee of PilotEdge. As I understand it that would mean she had at least 1,000 hours of real world or simulated ATC experience, in addition to the PilotEdge training.
Full time employee...working at home probably...wow lucky ducks
