    *ANNOUNCEMENT*
    As of the 1st of February 2019, I NOW HAVE A JOB flying the Boeing 737NG across Europe as a First Officer! I'd like to thank you all for staying tuned, especially those who followed me from my early days when I flew in my home cockpit, dreaming of this day :) I can only say stay tuned for more as it's getting big!

    Many pilot students Will be very greatfull to you that you have spend your time by explain and advise them what to do to succeed to their instrument test. I think every one develops his own method, but to excange informations and skills these helps a lot. Congratulation again for your progress, i wish and hope to see you someday behind the wheel of a Jet airplane as this is your target and be a good pilot. God bless.

    Well done! Now get yourself into a jet! Ryanair, and Easyjet are recruiting. Both will charge you about £300 for the interview which will include a sim ride. A lot pf people will either get some sim time either in the 320 or 737 NG but, looking at your flying, I dint think you need to do that! Best wishes for your career. Once you have 2000 hours jet time, apply to BA!

  • @747-pilot
    @747-pilot 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Well done and kudos on passing your instrument checkride! I'm in the middle of my instrument training right now, and found most of your tips very helpful, with the exception of a couple of them, which went right over my head 😃 . But that is most likely because, I'm guessing, you're in the UK?? and I'm in the US, and I'm sure they do some things very differently there. For instance I had no clue what that "beacon slot stuff" meant 😃 But for the most part, learning to fly is the same, no matter where you do it, with of course, a few "procedural" differences here and there!

    • @greatflyer_aviation
      @greatflyer_aviation  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there! Extremely happy you found some of my tips handy! Basically, as we operate into major airports which are also used by the airlines, we need to book a slot to fly an airport's ILS or NDB procedure, or to execute a hold, purely for ATFM reasons. I guess the situation is different in the US as you have many more airports to choose from!

I have all the sliders all the way down as practicing on the G1000 I would never look outside above DA/MDA so who needs graphics?

  • @DuroyDeCantelLeBaron

    actually, you aren't supposed to end up late during your holds, if you take into account the one minute inbound turn in your corrected outbound time.

    • @greatflyer_aviation
      @greatflyer_aviation  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      What you are saying does make sense, so how would you actually take the turn into account? Mind you, if you are flying triple drift you may be much more than 180 degrees away from your inbound heading, so how can I take that turn into account?

    • @DuroyDeCantelLeBaron
      @DuroyDeCantelLeBaron 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      oh i get it :) we aren't flying the holds with the same technique. I read about the drift technique, but never tried its accuracy. Here is what I've been taught (it only relies on crosswind and head/tailwind), if you are interested: when turning outbound you correct your turn adding one extra second of level flight, for every knots of crosswind. When outbound, your 1 minute outbound time is corrected adding (or subtracting) one second for every half of head/tailwind and this 2 times (one correction for the outbound leg and one for the inbound turn) if you get to take your TOP abeam the beacon or 3 times (one more for the "drifted outbound turn"). Finally, during this corrected outbound time if you cross what I call the guard radial (which actually is the offset entry course) you follow it with the GPS1/ADF/NAV1 needle until the inbound turn back on the inbound track with a 90° interception (GS/200Nm anticipation). And there you should get an almost perfect 1 minute inbound time... That may be a lot to compute at the beginning but it's quiet easy and quick when you get used to it :)

It’s not that hard once you get the hang of it.

    Is it difficult to maintain altitude (+-50ft) in rough wind?

    • @greatflyer_aviation
      @greatflyer_aviation  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not any difficult when you're focused on your instruments, but very easy to bust your level when you're focused on other things, such as VOR/ADF tracking, holding, speaking to ATC, noting down a frequency or time. Scanning should be your #1 priority and you will learn this early on in your IR training :)

    I have the alabeo da42 twinstar on p3d v4, with alabeo g1000, whats the difference between that and minstar g1000? Im Kinda confused hehe, is the mindstar just a more accurate version of the original g1000 you get when you buy the aircraft? Answer is very appreciated!

    • @greatflyer_aviation
      @greatflyer_aviation  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there! I originally tried to use Alabeo’s DA42 - it was great for learning the aircraft’s systems, but the G1000 is almost useless - it doesn’t even have ADF installed! Many of the buttons are not functional and I just couldn’t practice much on it. So I ended up using the Mindstar G1000 on the default BE58 which worked like a charm.

    • @kevinnayis3399
      @kevinnayis3399 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@greatflyer_aviation oh alright, so the mindstar g1000 is basically like an addon that I can add to aircrafts? My flightschool uses the cessna skyhawk 172 g1000 as single engine and DA42 twinstar as multi engine, would be great to use the mindstar g1000 on both of them for realistic training, If I have understood the use of mindstar g1000 hehe

    • @kevinnayis3399
      @kevinnayis3399 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also I havent started flying the DA42 twinstar, but I really want to learn how to fly it before I begin flying with it in the flight school, is it a good way to learn how to start up the aircraft and plan flights without the mindstar g1000? but with the alabeo DA42 g1000?

    • @kevinnayis3399
      @kevinnayis3399 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry for asking so many questions my friend, is it still good practise using the standard alabeo DA42 g1000 when NOT flying IR? I do understand that if you're flying IR then u obviously need a 100% fully functioned g1000, like the mindstar, but without flying with IR is it then good practise for someone who wants to learn how the aircraft works and how to fly it before starting in flight school?

PPL for €10.000 when I was at school, cost-sharing my hourbuilding with friends, ATPL at CAE for £5.500 and MEP/CPL/IR at FTA Global for £24.950. Also, FTA accepts a "pay-as-you-fly" scheme, so you need to pay NOTHING upfront, and you can choose to pay them whenever you want really as long as your account remains in balance.

    Upon PPL completion, would you suggest an IFR training or CPL one first? Cheers

      Hi Amine! Different flight schools suggest different approaches - I personally went for the IR first, and then the CPL was piece of cake, as I was already trained to fly with precision. The only downside is that you will naturally want to be looking inside, and you will need to be focused outside on your CPL skills test! Moreover, if I am not mistaken, the EASA CPL(A) instruction includes 6 hours of basic instrument flying, which is also IR(A) syllabus, so with that in mind it would make sense to start with the IR first.
      You may want to reach out to someone who did their CPL first and compare my view to theirs :)
      Best regards, D.

    Try doing your IR/ME on the Seneca V , way more challenging than the diamond !!!!!

      I know, FADEC makes life simpler. However, as technology in modern airliners keeps advancing day by day, many support that reds and blues are starting to become pointless in early pilot training.

      GreatFlyer , Totally agree with reds and blues being pointless , but the challenge and experience is magnificent , after all we ATPL Students will all end up flying with FADEC , did my IR 3 years ago and also I have flown both the Seneca and the diamond and they both have different demands and feel love them both to be honest , I Appreciate your response and efforts to making things easier for other students , good luck in the airlines !
