So enjoyable. Thank you Kev. For letting us fly along. My wife would never let me teach her. It takes something special from both of you to get it to work
Controller/pilot here too. I just got my IFR last summer and what helped me the most was using X-Plane in between lessons to hammer out procedures, multi-tasking, and checklists/flows. Doing this combined with being a controller, all I had to really do is learn how to attitude fly the airplane. Kevin did great!
Absolutely one of the best instructional start to finish under the hood flying videos! A total enjoyment-- yes but being under the hood is no fun. You two are a team to watch. Not too many I watch more than once this will be one of them. Have a great weekend.
Great video! Having just got our C182M back from the avionics shop equipped with all Garmin radios (G3X, GTN650, CNX375, GFC500 and G5) I am now having to learn how to use it (so far I have 5 hours of flying). Mindy's tips are great. I especially appreciate hearing how you set up your cockpit and the little things that you do along the way to keep everything matching. Thanks!
Couldn't ask for a more knowledgable and encouraging instructor, and Kevin did a great job flying!!! Congrats to Kevin on a perfect score on the instrument written! WOW! 🤩
I've been going on silent ferry rides with you for years, along with about 20 others, but I sure am glad when you really started working on your channel, getting a hanger, modding the panels, and is there anything more gorgeous than that 182. I'm only a flight simmer but that's my go to girl there. Been loving watching Kevin as he progresses, and huge congrats on passing the written, and acing it at that. Butter.
Congratulations, Kevin, on scoring 100% on your written exam! That's an incredible achievement! It was such a pleasure watching you both fly together. I couldn't help but chuckle at how focused and intense Kevin looked during the approach, but then you told him to smile, and it made all the difference. As a CFII, I picked up some valuable tips from your teaching style. Keep up the fantastic work-you both are doing an amazing job!
Just found your videos. Love your beautiful 182. Congrats Kevin. I'm former, older IFR student. Logged 40 training hours but never finished due to time and money. Too old now. I'll keep watching.
Way to go Kevin. Very obvious you are going to be a fine pilot. Really enjoyed the video. Brought back memories from my IFR training back in the days of the covered wagon. We didn't have the advanced avionics. Look forward to more revelation of your stellar ability. Wish I could have had such a fine CFI in my day.
It seemed that everything came together for that instrument flight. A very apt pupil and a patient instructor. Not surprised at all, Kevin, that you aced the written and feel equally sure you will do the same on the checkride!
Awesome job Kevin! Ive been out of the cockpit for a few years and would love to jump back in. Have owned a 172 and a Comanche in the past. I appreciate you letting me live vicariously through you. Keep it up and CONGRATULATIONS, I did see you IG post today 🎉🎉🎉 And Mindy, you make a fantastic instructor!
A lot going on, kodos to both of you, radio's, manual flying, IFR goggles, radios, planing, wowzers. I did my PPL many years ago, on PA.28 never got around to doing more due to costs and life, wish I had a 2nd life and Mindy as an instructor. The more it's done the more you be relaxed and ahead I presume. Thanks so much for sharing such a tricky learning session in such an open way & very informative to all. 100% on test is amazing & seems all going well. 👍👍
This is such good content for those of us that are students and feel like we are ‘Kevin’ in this video too often. Good to know it all happens to everyone during training! Keep it up, both of you! 🎉😊
Excellent video! By far the most realistic video of the complexity of learning to fly with everything happening at the same time! Way to go Kevin! Loved it!
I love how the CFI in Mindy was like, "get on the center line, pause, get on the center line. Damn it! center line!" ok, i might have added that last part, lol. Awesome job Kev on getting your IFR! You da man. 😁
So many memories!!! Did private, instrument and multi at Orlando executive. Did so so so many landings at Ocala. I don’t remember a tower there though…?? Do remember two statue horses as you walk up to the door of FBO. Watching him with the foogles on starting to sweat and taking deep breaths just brought back so much anxiety. Vertigo and all that info coming at you all at once is challenging to say the least. Nice job Kevin on passing the writen. My examiner told me while on instrument check ride that he doesn’t expect perfection just an understanding of what you’re doing. Big thing was DO NOT GET LOW.
This was a really fun video. Im not a pilot, but i sensed Kevin's sincere professionalism. I think he might have lost a few pounds. Thanks, Kevin, for allowing yourself to be filmed. One of the greatest signs of strength is humility. So very cool. Congratulations on your hard work.
I also like that Celsius energy drink spotted in your fridge. My plane is currently at KORL at the maintenance shop behind your hangar. Love your plane too.
Great job and flying! I'm doing my instrument now and it took me a long time to get to the level you're at in your first lesson. Mindy you're such a talented teacher!
Congratulations, Kevin!!! 100%!!!! Can't wait to see what you achieve! I know it can't be easy taking instruction from your wife, but she knows her trade very well!!!!!!
Thanks for putting up with me! I don’t know if I’ve ever been so silent in my life! ❤
Almost to the finish line!! You have come a loooooong ways since this video lol
Congratulations Kevin and keep up the good work
Keviiiiin! Awesome work and test score. Holy moly!
You got this!
Way to go. You got this!
Congrats Kevin on the 100%. You can do it with no problem, especially with an instructor like Mindy.
What a great instrument instructor.
I love how excited you get for your hubby.
WOW GREAT CFI AND student. Flying cruise is easy, landing A LOT happens fast and Kevin did a perfect job staying calm and flying the plane! !! !!!
So enjoyable. Thank you Kev. For letting us fly along. My wife would never let me teach her. It takes something special from both of you to get it to work
Polished metal planes are underrated and wildly beautiful!
PIC and loadmaster, good job Kevin. You two are the best aviation couple.
Can't wait for the next video Waycross is in the middle of my sector at Jax center!
Controller/pilot here too. I just got my IFR last summer and what helped me the most was using X-Plane in between lessons to hammer out procedures, multi-tasking, and checklists/flows.

Well done Kevin for the flight and above all for the 100% written pass. Fantastic! And great job Mindy.
You are an awesome teacher. You are calm, knowledgable, and a great communicator.
Love the way Mindy coached, guided etc, etc....and Great job, Kevin!
Wow, you could see the stress on Kev's face. I was stressing with him. What a great job and nice landing as well.
Absolutely one of the best instructional start to finish under the hood flying videos! A total enjoyment-- yes but being under the hood is no fun. You two are a team to watch. Not too many I watch more than once this will be one of them. Have a great weekend.
Congrats Kevin. You did an amazing job for your first IFR flight. And naturally a great flight instructor. It seemed very busy and Kevin did awesome.

As a non pilot I’m in awe and excited to watch student learn to fly. Love your vids.

How comforting knowing Mindy is in the right seat? So supportive, too ! Thanks for sharing.
You are such a great teacher Mindy👍Nice job Kevin, congrats on your 100% score😊
That was awesome. Kevin was working his ass off. So much respect. So cool not your typical TH-cam video.
He did really good, great kudos and encouragement and training from Mindy👍
Wonderful Job Kevin. Thanks for taking me along for the lesson. I am also a instrument student pilot at 73 yrs. old.
You are so patient, supportive, and positive! I want my CFII to be just like you!
Kevin did awesome....you can tell he was stressed but Mindy was a fantastic coach and teacher. Partners for shure...
Thanks for sharing! And as Mindy mentioned- especially to Kevin for showing the real process! Great job you two, keep it up!
Congrats to Kevin!, Schmindy you’re an awesome teacher!
Kevin: Fabulous job in the bumps and carrying the whole load, congrats on the perfect written!
Congratulations Kevin on aceing your written test! And thank you for allowing us to ride along with you on this training flight! 😁
Congrats on the 100% Kevin! Well done and thanks for being willing to share with all of us armchair quarterbacks😀
Great job Kevin & Schmiiindy! It’s a difficult road but so worth it. We are all here for moral support! You got it!
Nothing like training with your spouse .. who happens to have a plane, and a bunch of ratings 😂 Love it.
Talk about gorgeous!!! Never seen a 182 polished out like yours.
Congratulations, Kevin, on scoring 100% on your written exam! That's an incredible achievement! It was such a pleasure watching you both fly together.

Great job Kev! You rocked your first IFR approach! Thanks for letting us fly along with you on your training.
Just found your videos. Love your beautiful 182. Congrats Kevin. I'm former, older IFR student. Logged 40 training hours but never finished due to time and money. Too old now. I'll keep watching.
Congrats Kevin ! You are so lucky to have such a pretty CFI, but I'm sure you already knew that. Keep up the hard work.
Congratulations Kevin! And thank you for allowing us to see your training! I think this was a great video!
WOW Kevin 100% is incredible on your Instrument written! Congratulations !! You will make a great IFR pilot.
You’re a good instructor, and he’s a good student. Well done, all!
Congrats Kevin and thanks for letting use a ‘fly on the wall’ while you are under such pressure.
This was a great video. Congrats to Kevin for acing the exam and doing so well in his flying.
Kevin, it's so awesome watching you do your instrument training! I envy you, sir!
Congrats Kevin, awesome accomplishment!!
Great video! Exciting. Amazing job for the PIC handling the extra stress.
Congrats Kevin! Thank you for sharing your journey!!
Living the life !!!! Love it.😊
Way to go Kevin. Very obvious you are going to be a fine pilot. Really enjoyed the video. Brought back memories from my IFR training back in the days of the covered wagon.

Great video and I really appreciated Mindy talking us all through the IFR process.
That was intense (and I'm just sitting here in my LazyBoy) and as you said, Kudos to Kevin for allowing us to witness.
Great video! I'm so exhausted just from watching. Kevin seemed to sweat a bit, too; but really handled it well.
Way to go Kevin. Great job!
Congrats Kevin!
Congratulations KEVIN
Great job the both of you !
Great job Kevin. I actually had to remind myself to breath while watching. 😎
Congratulations Kevin. Helps to have an awesome teacher!!
Great job Kevin
Killin in Kevin!
Congratulations Kevin, I was sweating during this training flight, good job
Awesome job Kevin! Ive been out of the cockpit for a few years and would love to jump back in. Have owned a 172 and a Comanche in the past. I appreciate you letting me live vicariously through you. Keep it up and CONGRATULATIONS, I did see you IG post today 🎉🎉🎉 And Mindy, you make a fantastic instructor!
It reminded me about my first IFR lessons! Amazing…
My favorite video of hers by far. Having no IFR rating, I think I was more nervous than Kevin trying to follow along with the approach procedures.
Congrats to Kevin.
A lot going on, kodos to both of you, radio's, manual flying, IFR goggles, radios, planing, wowzers.

100% on test is amazing & seems all going well.
👍👍
Way to go Kevin! Congrats on the 100%!
This is Gold! Real life stress and such good information! You guys really have a great channel.
What a wonderful video, the stress of the whole situation came through strongly, you both did a wonderful job.
Congrats Kevin! Great job on acing the test!
This is such good content for those of us that are students and feel like we are ‘Kevin’ in this video too often. Good to know it all happens to everyone during training! Keep it up, both of you! 🎉😊
Congrats Kevin, what a great accomplishment and Mindy looks like a very proud instructor
Great job Kevin, teamwork makes the dream work!
Congrats Kevin great job. You love IFR
Well done Kevin, big congratulations from the UK. 🛩👍
Good Deal! Congratulations!!!!!
Cool! I did my IFR traning at KORL back in the early 2000's.
Excellent video! By far the most realistic video of the complexity of learning to fly with everything happening at the same time! Way to go Kevin! Loved it!
I love how the CFI in Mindy was like, "get on the center line, pause, get on the center line. Damn it! center line!" ok, i might have added that last part, lol. Awesome job Kev on getting your IFR! You da man. 😁
The plane looks gorgeous with that polished metal / paint scheme!
So many memories!!! Did private, instrument and multi at Orlando executive. Did so so so many landings at Ocala. I don’t remember a tower there though…?? Do remember two statue horses as you walk up to the door of FBO.

Fabulous test score! Congrats! So much fun watching you fly! ✈️
Great job to both of you! I enjoyed seeing your show! Thank you
Awesome score on the written Kevin, congratulations 👏👏👏
Awesome video!
Congrats to Kevin on the Instrument test!
Love watching you guys flying, you are so much fun to watch. More, more, more (please :-)
Fabulous instruction!
This was a really fun video. Im not a pilot, but i sensed Kevin's sincere professionalism. I think he might have lost a few pounds. Thanks, Kevin, for allowing yourself to be filmed. One of the greatest signs of strength is humility. So very cool. Congratulations on your hard work.
Congratulations to Kevin and congratulations to your wife a great instructor and professional pilot thank you for her videos
I love your “car height” level off analogy. I’ve been flying with my kids some and this puts in perspective when to arrest a decent. Thank you!!
I also like that Celsius energy drink spotted in your fridge. My plane is currently at KORL at the maintenance shop behind your hangar. Love your plane too.
Great job. Wakes up in a cold sweat hearing Mindy’s voice saying “do not break 600”
Great Job Kevin. Congratulations. You have an outstanding teacher. Love the videos.
Cant wait for the next video Waycoss is in the middle of my sector at Jax Center!
Great job and flying! I'm doing my instrument now and it took me a long time to get to the level you're at in your first lesson. Mindy you're such a talented teacher!
You’re such a great instructor, Mindy!
Great job Kevin!!
awesome job guys! Great video Mindy
With training like that, there will be a day where she will have trouble keeping up with you. What a phenomenal teacher of the art of instruments
Congratulations, Kevin!!! 100%!!!! Can't wait to see what you achieve! I know it can't be easy taking instruction from your wife, but she knows her trade very well!!!!!!
