Instrument Flight Test #2 PASSED! - Flying IFR with FULL Automation

Описание: #IFR training with with Dennis preparing for my proficiency check. Proudly associated with ForeFlight: https://www.foreflight.com/flightchops

This episode covers IFR training with Dennis and Justin; we execute several approaches and go arounds using the automation of the new Garmin Avionics in the Van’s Aircraft RV-14.

At the time of this training, I was recently out of IFR currency; due for my IPC Instrument Proficiency Check, which is basically a check ride we have to do here every 2 years.
I knew I’d be flying the much more complex and capable avionics, so I arranged to fly the IPC in this airplane BUT needed to get training to do so.
At that point I had ~50 hours VFR flying and had a basic understanding of the autopilot, but had not been doing any advanced programming of the avionics yet.

Dennis' Disclaimer:

Flying IFR in actual IFR can be dangerous stuff.
There is no substitute for proper training in your own equipment.
The consequences are just too dire.
Find a good instructor, learn your equipment.
TAKE IT SERIUOUSLY.
Take it on with caution and respect.
Don’t jump into the deep water right away;
And get recurrent training once in a while.

Having been working closely with Dennis for over a decade, I am proud to be able to recommend his services to anyone that wants to take their flying to the next level.
Our relationship started when I was a rusty VFR pilot needing to get recurrent… that led to Dennis introducing me to tailwheel flying which changed everything about where I was headed as an aviator. Then came multi engine and IFR flying. It’s been awesome to have Dennis as a mentor all these years!

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
