I'm about 15 years out of currency... but am nearing being ready for an IPC again. Thanks for the video, it's a big help to keep refreshing on IFR flight!
I appreciate the video, I'm trying to learn IFR, I had a few questions: 1. For RNAV 31 (9:45) ATC says "to report cancellation of IFR on this frequency or FSS, radar services terminated" does that mean if you land, to call FSS to cancel IFR but if you go missed and head to KSBP, go back to the frequency and then cancel IFR? Or is it assumed if you're doing VOR-A at KSBP then there's no need to cancel anything? 2. For VOR-A KSBP the minimums are 1700', what if while you're circling you go into the clouds and lose the airfield? Do you use the same missed approach procedures regardless if you're after MARND MQO? Thanks, just trying to get a better grasp of IFR.
Good questions: (1) yes, you fly the missed approach (published or instructed by ATC)... and you go back to the approach/center frequency you got that instruction from (or another freq they might have given you)... i.e. you are still IFR thru the missed approach. You stay in the missed approach procedure until ATC instructs otherwise. (2) If while circling you enter the clouds you are required to "go missed" and, the best you can, somehow re-intercept the missed approach procedure (hopefully still over the airport protected area). This is a popular topic on many forums... how to ad hoc rejoin the missed approach procedure from some random spot in the circling approach. Enjoy your instrument work, and thanks for watching.

Thanks for publishing this video Wayne. Your videos are very relevant for me as a Northern California pilot who is IFR rated but instrument rusty as I tend to only fly when it’s sunny. You do a good job of putting your audience in the left seat.
Wayne, another nice video. Raymond does seem quite on top of things. Also love your coaching style. Thanks for the shout out to the Flying club. I am hopeful that the club will open for new members very soon. Alex
Thanks, Alex, for watching... and yes, Raymond is one sharp cookie... would make a great flying club member. Trust your trip this past weekend went well? Wayne
Great video, especially for a pilot in training for IFR certification. I was wondering what form factor Raymond’s iPad is, 10.2” or an 8.3” iPad mini? I find my 11” iPad Pro just a tad too big for a 172 cockpit.
13:10 Raymond misspoke, and I missed it. Yes, green needles are ground-based navigation (VOR, LOC/GS) and magenta needles are satellite-based (GPS). For VOR approaches, the pilot can also shoot the approach with magenta needles (i.e. GPS) while at the same time "monitoring" the raw ground navaid (VOR) on a second CDI. I was "encouraging" Raymond in this video to take the more difficult path of shooting the VOR-A approach at KSBP (12:40) with the raw navaid (VOR), i.e. green needles without any "magenta help".

Awesome you were able to take the time and help get Raymond back in the saddle again!!!
Ron and Janis, you might notice that these kinds of flights are my own selfish pleasure 😀. Thanks for watching! Wayne
I really enjoyed this video. Good refresher for IFR pilots to watch.
Very glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful! Thanks for watching. Wayne (DA40 KSBA)
Love a fresh mist (missed) 🤣

Andy, glad your find the videos useful. Many thanks for the kind words! Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

Killed it Raymond!
Yes he did! Thanks for watching. Wayne (DA40 KSBA)
Great flying after 2 years off! Curious if he kept sharp in a SIM during his hiatus...if so, still very impressive flying.
Kyle, indeed Raymond was impressive... and I believe he hadn't done much if any simming during those 2 years. Thanks for watching! Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

Peter, glad you enjoyed the video. Both Raymond and I use the iPad Mini 6. All the best. Wayne (DA40 KSBA)
@@GeezerGeekPilot fantastic, thank you!
Green needles are VOR, Magenta GPS .. I thought?

I'd be much rustier after 2 years haha
You and me both!! Thanks, as always, for watching.
