3:47 IFR Departure from uncontrolled airport. Reading the books gives me a general idea, but now looking at this real scenario make it even more clear. Thank for sharing
I really like these procedural type videos. Great for learning. Appreciate you talking through what you are thinking, and how you stay ahead of the airplane.
If every GA PPL pilot had your awareness and common sense, there would be practically no fatal accidents. Which tells me there are a lot of GA pilots flying around unaware of their limitations. Great video Josh. Thanks for sharing. Oh and just a suggestion: We need a Chelsea video soon
Oh man, that means a lot. Being aware of the limits of your personal envelope is key to surviving the sky. I strive for peak proficiency on every flight. 🙌🏼🫡
@@tstanley01 as a young "know it all" back in 1965 when I got my PPL, even with good instruction, I rarely thought of what could happen. I was invincible and therefore the engine will run all the time and nothing will ever go wrong. An engine failure on T/O? No way Jose'. Sadly I would have been the guy to stall/spin it in and die right there. I doubt that that attitude has changed much in young people in the last 60 years. And there lies the problem.
I absolutely love your ILS video from a few years ago where you are in Texas. Super educational and I share it with all my students. This new video is even more polished with higher production values and everything is explained so clearly. Just texted this link to all my instrument rating students.
Always enjoy watching you fly, Josh, cuz you fly hard and right. Sterile, sharp, and focused. Those of us lucky enough to do this know how fun and amazing it is, but first and foremost it's a task. It's work. Glorious work, but work nonetheless. You never lose sight of that. It's a gift to watch people do it as professionally as you do.
I'm the store manager of a hydraulic hose shop. You put that fitting on the screen and my brain just immediately said 6-6VTX-S, I have 2 in the bin at work. 😂 It's not anodized, just steel. Unfortunately, we can't sell it for aircraft. Even relaxing watching TH-cam videos, work still creeps in.
@@Highmaintenance_chels that’s awesome! If y’all are ever out in Lexington and want to stop by for another tour so Josh can see the operation, let me know.
Flown like a pro, Josh. Your 172 with the Garmin has almost the same capabilities as the Gulfstream G-280's I flew in the corporate world, except for a little less speed, known ice, radar, oxygen, 2 jet engines...😂😂 Still, a very capable single engine airplane you have there. That was an outstanding video for the instrument student to learn proper procedures.
As usual, another excellent video. I too really enjoy your procedural videos and how you verbalize what you’re thinking and doing. I love your focus and attention to detail.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I like making these videos too, as it forces me to comb over my procedures and habits to either reinforce the good, or notice and change the bad. Thanks for the support!
This channel giving me such a massive tailwind in my journey of becoming a pilot. As of writing this comment, I just finished my VFR LPE and am taking my final hurdles towards my first pilot licence.
It’s truly amazing. I remember watching you years ago when this was just a dream for me. Now, I’m still watching your videos and I see planes that I trained in like 74D there at 29:35. It’s a great feeling seeing how far we’ve all come.
Oshkosh was awesome. Sorry I missed you but I know you were busy. So happy to listen to your stories and see how your life has come together. God Bless!
Really enjoyed this one, Josh. KLEX is near (literally) and dear to me since it is where I earned my Private Pilot Certificate. Not flying anymore but still a committed avgeek. Thanks for all you do to generate this great work.
Thanks Josh. I love these more technical procedural videos. I’m working on my IFR rating and changing to Garmin Pilot, so this video was extremely valuable. Hope to see you again at OSH!
Fun to watch as I am going through my IR rating now. You put Ground into COM2 once you have the weather, yeah? When to arm APP mode is super helpful. Timing of this video is perfect for me. Appreciate this.
Thanks for watching! APR mode should be arm when you've been "cleared for the approach." In this case, I was told to "intercept the localizer" first, which was NOT an approach clearance. At that point I armed NAV so the autopilot would capture the Localizer, and it was only when I was told "cleared for the approach" that I armed APR mode, effectively giving the autopilot/flight director permission to capture the glideslope.
For whatever reason, this video did a really good job giving perspective of what it's like to enter a cloud. I could kind of imagine myself in the seat and that gives me a good perspective on whether flying is for me or not. hint: it is.
Enjoyed the flight video. TH-cam suggested it for me. Uniquely, I grew up in Ohio County so it was great to see the home area from the air. Look forward to future videos.
Lots of familiar voices and faces in this video! Naomi on ground when you landed, Robbie at the shop, and others on tower, approach, etc. Josh, nice job demonstrating how to stay ahead of the plane with solid procedures.
Next time you’re at KJQD, check out Rough River State Park, 2I3, just a few miles to the NE. Beautiful approach and wonderful southern food at Grayson Landings Cafe, short walk from the runway. One of my favorite places to take folks on their first GA flight.
I have my headset bluetooth paired to both my iPad mini and my phone. I contact ATC with my phone using my headset for the call audio. Much easier to communicate without all the engine noise. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks again, just an excellent video, careful, risk aware flying. I was head of risk at a government agency (treasury). I’d choose flying risk any day!
Great videos Josh! I’ll be recommending this to my instrument students. Also I know that ILS approach very well, I fly it all the time with my students.
@@Aviation101 That would be me even though I've been displaced in New Mexico for a number of years. P.S. Enjoyed the LEX video so much I watched it twice.
Thoroubred Aviation is a big helicopter shop. TH-camr Cletus McFarland has lives in Florida, but has had a couple of helicopters rebuilt there as has other TH-camrs.
I live in Lexington and have a DA40 at KLEX. Hit me up on here if you ever need a place to stay during a weather delay or visit or just want to do some flying. Also, I have some UK basketball tickets if you ever want to go and take your wife.
Very much appreciate the increased number of videos. I know you hold yourself to a high standard and your cinematography is great. But as a fan of your channel, it is OK to occasionally just have a basic rig and share with us some trips. You are such a wealth of information around safety and education.
11:55 if your equipment automatically decodes the identifier, it is not necessary to listen to the audio identification. I remember reading about this on the AIM 1-1-3 c. (last sentence). Now, I know how it actually works. Thanks for the sharing the content.
Hello Awesome video great for learning keep it up. I love the video quality coming from the insta360 its a game changer indeed and it will never let you down it has amazing editing software and filming tricks. Are your other cameras DJI or insta?.
Thanks for the video Josh. I’ve had issues with ILS. It appears your hitting NAV is what causes AP to capture the final course. I have always hit approach mode.
Thanks for watching! There's a fundamental difference between NAV more and APR mode: NAV mode gives the autopilot/flight director permission to capture the horizontal component of a navigational aid or GPS course. APR mode does the same thing, but ALSO gives the autopilot permission to capture the vertical component of a nav aid or approach (i.e. ILS glideslope, or GPS glidepath). So, when the controller told me to "intercept the localizer," I was not-yet cleared for the approach, so I pressed NAV to intercept the LOC, but not the GS. Shortly thereafter, he told me that I was "cleared for the ILS," which means I can follow the approach instructions as published. At that point, I armed APR mode, which gave the autopilot/flight director permission to capture the Glideslope as well. I hope this helps!
At 32:30, he says he's vacating 6000 but he's not saying for what altitude. On IFR you change altitudes following ATC instructions. Did we miss the instructions? Even if we did miss them, shouldn't he say for what altitude he's vacating 6000? He didn't cancel IFR yet so it's not a flight following courtesy, since he ends up canceling IFR at 34:27. This is not meant as a criticism, just curious about procedures.
The "Pilot's discretion" descent instruction was edited our for time's sake. Editing can remove context. When given a "pilot's discretion" descent, if you don't immediately start the descent, it's a courtesy to let the controller know when you do finally start the descent, which is what I did here.
Flaps are electrically powered on the Cessna so there's a delay between when he sets the flaps down to when they are actually deployed in proper configuration.
I noticed on your G3x the comm freq icons in the to left of the screen. I had to move their location to the right next to Nav freq icons as I kept swapping frequencies without notice when I would push the full screen icon. Needless to say ATC/Tower weren’t happy when I finally realized the swap. Happens easy in turbulence.
30 year pilot hear. I chickened out when I was young thinking I’d never be able to afford it. Family kids people I truly love and flying doesn’t pay my bills. But here I am 53 stil, flying just got my IFR a little over a year ago. Retina detached on my last flight eye doctor just told me to go fly I’m good. Still hadn’t so want flights like this. Your maintenance flight is my best day off.
The Aricraft I flew in Desert Storm is now based at LEX with the Lexington PD. N912LP. I doubt you would remember if you saw her. But, i'd sure be looking if I were there.
Nice video! I grew up down the road from lex. In atc, I teach ACSRAMHAF. Aircraft call sign, Clearance limit, Sid, Route, Alt, Mach, Holding, Any additional, Freq. It's a bit lengthier than CRAFT.
AWESOME JOB Josh!! Hey man, I heard something about new pattern entry procedures in the works from the FAA. If you've heard anything about it, could you please speak on it in the future? Would love to hear your thoughts bro. Take care!
Since I have my headset paired to my iPad, I initiate the call on the phone and it’s just 1 tap to transfer the call to the iPad and then I can talk and listen with the headset. No need to try to hear in the phone with the engine running. Another great video!!
Totally agree that's a better way to do it, but if I did, the phone call would bypass the audio recording and it would not be recorded for the sake of sharing in the video with all of you.
Thanks for the long-time support! I still have the Lightspeed, but it's really showing its age (mic boom sagging, matte finish is rubbing off of the remote making it sticky). I bought a Bose but honestly don't like it. Not sure if you noticed, but the audio recording on this video was a lot more scratchy that my normal quality, and that's due to the Bose having a weaker audio output in the headphones requiring higher radio/intercom volumes. I switched to Garmin Pilot because 1) Garmin is the most open company to feedback on their product I have ever interacted with, 2) they're truly tailoring GP for General Aviation across the board, not getting bought-out and going all corporate, and 3) With the integration of Garmin Avionics in 991 (and future planes), it just made sense to maximize capability with an EFB that matches the avionics.
Regarding the GNC 255 Morse station identification - the ID shown is simply from the database. In order to identify the Morse code, you need to use the OBS mode (strangely enough). See section 2.3 of the manual. Note that this is from a conversation I had with a Garmin tech support person. I'd wanted to make certain it auto-identified before I claimed it did during my instrument checkride last year. So, not as simple as just tuning and looking at the ID. Keep up the good work Josh.
Yes, If you're wanting the auto-ID readout on the GNC-255, you must display OBS mode to let the radio ID the station. However, on the G3X (which displays both NAV freqs and IDs), the auto-ID will show up next to the frequency on both radios with no mode or display change required. Thanks for double-checking!
@@Aviation101 Good to know, if I ever go the larger glass panel route - my 1955 Cessna 180 is currently: GTN 750Xi, 3x GI 275, GNC 255, and the same transponder, audio panel as your 172. BTW, I really enjoyed your in-depth tour of your panel from a few months ago.
15 bucks for that fitting? When I was a PPL owning a 1964 PA-28-140 back in the late 90's, I needed to replace my alternator belt. A local airplane parts store was charging 24 bucks for the alternator belt for my airplane but they didn't have one in stock. My mechanic told me to try a car parts store. Found the alternator belt at a regular car parts store with the same exact part number and paid 6 bucks for it. Just goes to show how much they charge for common parts just because they go on an airplane.
What’s up Josh, we went to Bowie together. I saw that you flew into stephenville, that’s where I’m going to school currently. Glad to see your success!
Hey Josh, thanks for another awesome video! I'm doing my 50hr xc before starting ifr training. Again, very encouraging flight! Question, what's the reason you count 1 1000 2 1000 3 1000 while lowering the flaps?
991 has full range flaps, so rather than discete steps of 10, 20, 30, 40, he has to hold the flap down lever until they get to those amounts, and 3 seconds is ~10 degrees of flaps
I fly approaches in the 172 no slower than 70, no faster than 75. Consider a 172s stall (touchdown) speed: 41 KIAS with flaps extended, 47 KIAS with no flaps. If I'm coming down an ILS at 90-knots, and I break out at minimums (200ft AGL), I will have to slow down by at least 40 KNOTS by the time the tires touch the ground. That will either require dumping all the flaps right at the very end, or wasting a ton of runway in the float, or both. That doesn't sound too stabilized to me, so I aim for 70-75.
Appreciate the increased frequency of uploads lately!

Good ole Bluegrass Airport!! It was always so lovely to fly commercial into LEX while attending UK. the approach over Keeneland was so unique and cool
KLEX is such a great place to fly. Fuel is cheap at WestLEX if you don't need major support and it's fun to fly with the big guys.
Bardstown has the best fuel prices in the area.
Great to know! Thanks 🫡
I’m one of the controllers at LEX, it’s cool watching it from y’all’s perspective coming in

If he got a descend or climb “at pilot’s discretion” for a new altitude, that would be one case. He isn’t required to announce but it is curtesy.
The "Pilot's discretion" descent instruction was edited our for time's sake. Editing can remove context. When given a "pilot's discretion" descent, if you don't immediately start the descent, it's a courtesy to let the controller know when you do finally start the descent, which is what I did here.

It's an iPad Mini, and the yoke mount is made by RAM.
Long time fan, thank you for the content. I was wondering why the switch up? You do not use lightspeed headset or foreflight? What changed?
Thanks for the long-time support! I still have the Lightspeed, but it's really showing its age (mic boom sagging, matte finish is rubbing off of the remote making it sticky). I bought a Bose but honestly don't like it. Not sure if you noticed, but the audio recording on this video was a lot more scratchy that my normal quality, and that's due to the Bose having a weaker audio output in the headphones requiring higher radio/intercom volumes.
I switched to Garmin Pilot because 1) Garmin is the most open company to feedback on their product I have ever interacted with, 2) they're truly tailoring GP for General Aviation across the board, not getting bought-out and going all corporate, and 3) With the integration of Garmin Avionics in 991 (and future planes), it just made sense to maximize capability with an EFB that matches the avionics.
29:45 😂❤❤❤❤❤👏
Good morning, Aviators!
Good morning!
Regarding the GNC 255 Morse station identification - the ID shown is simply from the database. In order to identify the Morse code, you need to use the OBS mode (strangely enough). See section 2.3 of the manual. Note that this is from a conversation I had with a Garmin tech support person. I'd wanted to make certain it auto-identified before I claimed it did during my instrument checkride last year. So, not as simple as just tuning and looking at the ID. Keep up the good work Josh.
Yes, If you're wanting the auto-ID readout on the GNC-255, you must display OBS mode to let the radio ID the station. However, on the G3X (which displays both NAV freqs and IDs), the auto-ID will show up next to the frequency on both radios with no mode or display change required. Thanks for double-checking!
@@Aviation101 Good to know, if I ever go the larger glass panel route - my 1955 Cessna 180 is currently: GTN 750Xi, 3x GI 275, GNC 255, and the same transponder, audio panel as your 172. BTW, I really enjoyed your in-depth tour of your panel from a few months ago.
15 bucks for that fitting?
When I was a PPL owning a 1964 PA-28-140 back in the late 90's, I needed to replace my alternator belt. A local airplane parts store was charging 24 bucks for the alternator belt for my airplane but they didn't have one in stock. My mechanic told me to try a car parts store. Found the alternator belt at a regular car parts store with the same exact part number and paid 6 bucks for it. Just goes to show how much they charge for common parts just because they go on an airplane.
Yep, the parts markup is crazy. It's price-gouging because "airplane."
What’s up Josh, we went to Bowie together. I saw that you flew into stephenville, that’s where I’m going to school currently. Glad to see your success!
Awesome! Man, that was long ago. Shoot me an email for my website and let's connect. 🤙🏼
If you had to divert from Ohio County where do you think you would end up? Are there a lot of options around there?
Lots of options!
Hey Josh, thanks for another awesome video! I'm doing my 50hr xc before starting ifr training. Again, very encouraging flight!
Question, what's the reason you count 1 1000 2 1000 3 1000 while lowering the flaps?
991 has full range flaps, so rather than discete steps of 10, 20, 30, 40, he has to hold the flap down lever until they get to those amounts, and 3 seconds is ~10 degrees of flaps
Bingo 👆🏼 Thanks for explaining!
I always find my approach at 90 kn in my 172.. curious as why you fly your slower
I fly approaches in the 172 no slower than 70, no faster than 75. Consider a 172s stall (touchdown) speed: 41 KIAS with flaps extended, 47 KIAS with no flaps. If I'm coming down an ILS at 90-knots, and I break out at minimums (200ft AGL), I will have to slow down by at least 40 KNOTS by the time the tires touch the ground. That will either require dumping all the flaps right at the very end, or wasting a ton of runway in the float, or both. That doesn't sound too stabilized to me, so I aim for 70-75.
@ fair enough! Thank you :)
That was a relax IFR flight. Even time to have some coffee during the approach :)
That's always a good sign ☕️
When he says “ground is point niner”. What does that mean?
Ground frequency is 121.9!
