This channel is getting a makeover for 2023! I’m James Sloan, a professional flight instructor and commercial pilot. I was a pilot recreationally for 20 years before pursuing a flying career, and my goal with this channel is to share real world lessons I’ve encountered that might not be emphasized in typical “textbook” flight training. I’ll also share longer format videos of my flying adventures. Come join me for flying lessons!
Flying in Canada - Crossing the Border and Navigating Differences in General Aviation Flying
In this video I share what I learned on a flying club trip to Canada! We cover some of the differences in procedures and regulations between the US and Canada, as well as the requirements for crossing the border between the US and Canada.

Keep your speed up! How fast can you safely fly an approach?
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
When flying into larger airports, controllers will often ask you to keep your speed up to help sequence you in with faster traffic. Is doing so safe? How fast can you safely fly? In this video we'll explore some of the hazards of flying fast, and talk about how you could prepare to do it safely. 00:00 - Introduction 00:11 - Welcome to my channel 00:21 - Why would you be asked to keep your speed...
Flying Instrument Approaches in the Cessna G1000
มุมมอง 21Kปีที่แล้ว
I find the G1000 system very capable, but also somewhat confusing to many of my Instrument Rating students in particular vertical guidance (VNAV, GS, and GP). I made this video to explain some of the concepts of the G1000 autopilot and vertical guidance, and also as an attempt to create a "Standard Operating Procedure" or profile for flying approaches with the G1000 automation. Sections: 00:00 ...

Can the POH numbers be trusted? Departing Bar 10 on the Grand Canyon at 8000 ft DA!
มุมมอง 1833 ปีที่แล้ว
How well can a Skylane climb in mountainous terrain from 4000 MSL at 40 degC? Surprisingly well, it turns out (with 2 adults aboard, anyway) pretty much in line with the POH. But it's good to have a plan how to maneuver around the terrain just in case!
Why won't he clear me?? Departing St. George, Utah for Southern CA (EMT)
มุมมอง 3023 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I depart St. George, Utah (SGU) and pick up an IFR clearance in the air. I'm instructed to maintain VFR and maintain my own terrain and obstruction clearance until reaching a fairly high altitude, highlighting one of the risks of a pop-up clearance. Then later I fly a circling approach to San Gabriel / El Monte (EMT) in Southern CA. For more information on maintaining "own terrain...
