Local Colorado CFI here working on his Instrument Instructor add on and these videos are invaluable! Excellent work Aleks and Boldmethod team. Cant say enough good things about the information you guys provide when it comes to IFR knowledge and instruction.
I've learned so much from your channel! No one else explains the details, like why there is a RNP Z and RNP Y approach - I finally understand not only the approach chart itself, but the reasons there are so many very similar ones, and which one to use. You really can't learn to fly from MSFS, they teach you almost nothing!
You are so amazing Alex. I am experiencing that its really so much left to own understanding and self study (especially after private pilot) but instructors need to know how critical basic conceptual clarity is and it needs to be taught. Had it not been for your videos, life would have been so difficult 😊. Well thank you for all the efforts and teaching things from scratch 🙏. Please keep up this phenomenal work.
Thanks so much Alex, i enjoy every single content on this channel . I noticed you didn't post new content for quite a while. I hope you will share new things with us soon. take care
Great video as always. Been using your videos to help me get current for ifr again and boost my instructing skills. Would be nice if you could get a video on similarities (and differences) between Canadian and American regs and procedures for vfr and ifr.
14:40 “The approach procedure labeled Z has lower landing minimums than Y (some older charts may not reflect this). Instrument Procedures Handbook, p 4-11 Please note, it say's "landing minimums". This is visibility. But of course, this GPS stuff is complicated. And being so complicated, there are going to be widespread errors. For example, at Anchorage, Ak (PANC), there are two RNAV approaches to 7R, Z and Y. The RNAV (RNP) Z landing minimum is 5000 RVR. The RNAV (GPS) Y landing minimum is 1800 RVR (and the HAT is a bit lower, too). This does not comply with the statement in the FAA's Instrument Procedures Handbook. And, wouldn't you know. Look at the Equipment Requirements boxes. The RNAV (RNP) Z box states RNP AR APCH. And, the RNAV (GPS) Y equipment box states RNP APCH. So, the Z approach, which has the higher mins - is Authorization Required (this does not include Part 91 operators). Go figure.
Can you explain TERPS, Standard, Military, Tailored, and JAR-OPS from page 83 of the Introduction to Jeppesen book? Also, could you share your experiences with icing and how to manage that situation in an aircraft not equipped with anti-icing or de-icing equipment? Studying for my CFII rating after letting my instrument currency lapse 12 years ago. Your lessons have been a lifesaver!
Very interesting video. In my understanding, the difference between RNAV and RNP is that RNP standards require the system to alert the crew should the actual system accuracy (ANP) exceed the required accuracy (RNP) eg « UNABLE RNP » message on the CDU, while RNAV standards don’t mandate this. I was curious recently because we see a mix of terminology (PRNAV, RNAV 1 or RNP 1) on SID /STAR charts so I had a look at the Eurocontrol official glossary. EUROPE, not FAA but I assume this is an international norm.
I use Garmin Pilot on a Nexus 9", in a c172 and when clipped to a metal kneeboard it has very unreliable GPS reception. I also preffer a real pencil/pen and paper for notes just so I don't need to switch screens any more than necessary esp when briefing an approach plate while in the soup. I go out of my way to avoid supporting Apple products, if they get a monopoly it won't end well.

You're the man for doing this. As a student pilot, thank you for breaking it down so thoroughly.

Keep doing videos guys! this help a lot of pilots !!
Fantastic video, as always! I learn a ton from these. Thanks.
Phenomenal teaching. Thank you!
Great video mate, loving your work!
Great content and presentation!

I’m a student pilot and these are pretty helpful. Good to know for the future.
Great presentation. Thanks

22:50 Should the LP and LNAV share the same RNP 0.3 sensitity during that final segment of the approach?
Thanks for a very informative Video. Good Job.
Thank you so much for this!! it really helped!

This may be obvious, but why are the minimums lower on the B approach as opposed to the A approach when they're both basically the same approach?
very great and helpful knowledge
KYKM has RNAV Z Y and X (as well as a LOC/DME arc back course) Really a good example airport.
Thanks for information
Great video
Such amazing video should be viewed and liked 10 million times. Can not understand 13,257 and 349 :(

By chance where you with Atlantic Coast Airlines back in 01? You look familiar.

contrails disrupt global weather patterns does not matter if it is om purpose
The breezy pamphlet totally please because ox formally subtract despite a bent hearing. omniscient, male medicine
Well I don't care cos I don't fly
