So true. Especially when you have radar vectors on departure, you might get the initial fix to close to it, then I've been routed direct destination. A couple weeks ago, my initial was cleared as filed, then I request an altitude climb from 8 to 10k due to clouds/icing and ATC did a full...

Sporty's IFR practice exams are definitely real good for practicing. Their video instruction in their $269 online course is more for when you're further into it, but not to start (to me at least). Reading the Instrument Flying and Procedures handbooks is pretty good, IMO.

Usually, you would contact them on the phone to get your clearance (and it'll highly likely have a clearance void after time), so if you contact them via phone, make sure you're close and ready for departure within 10 minutes or so, otherwise your clearance will be void. You'll get a clearance...

So funny, sorry for the blurry pic lol .. Speaking of getting out, I was trying to pick up my IFR clearance and spent like 15 minutes with a "comm issue" lol, turns out I was wearing my wife's headset and vice versa *HEADPALM* .. but never seen such professional ATC and Ground Control...

I was down at Carbondale's MDH and the controllers did an awesome job routing all of their VFR and IFR traffic. I couldn't pick up my clearance in the air (as predicted). There were probably 70ish airplanes parked on 24. It was well worth the trip, and burning 0.5 hobbs on the taxi out.

I guess it depends on the day and workload, if it’s extremely busy then first way is correct and less likely to get stepped on or “last aircraft calling say again”

When you’re married or engaged, just talk to women as if they were a dude or a guy friend.

Forecast for my destination looking like CAVU. staying hopeful.

Flying GA on the SR22 G6, about 267nm south, 2h flight with the wife. Gonna be IFR on the way out, and sunny landing. I hope.

Thought this was in the midwest? lol

You could fly a published missed on one of those approaches and you should be good with the holds portion.

April 15th.

My instructor didn't like it either, wonder if we had the same dude lol. First flight I did myself after getting my PPL was fly to a Class C (KPIA) and TRSA (KRFD) by myself, liberating.

From my experience, if you get an expected AS FILED, you'll get a notification for when you filed and one for flight plan acknowledged. Don't have experience seeing a full route clearance or with route changes yet.

Hopefully he's flying a rental, easier to restrain and ground that person.

Agreed in the above, be comfortable with requesting VFR flight following on XC flights. The handoffs you'll experience are similar to those you'll have to do when flying IFR. Do it when flying to class C airports for example, where you'll have to check in with approach (while having listened to...

In the G1000 NXi, if you have a PFD failure in real life or simulated like midlifeflyer@ said, you'll have a reversionary mode, where the MFD now becomes your primary display and all of the PFD functions should be available (airspeed, attitude, VSI, altitude) etc. in addition to the standby...

Yep used ASA CX-3 for PPL written in 2021 and IFR written in 2023 no issues at all.

So I took my first solo flight in IMC and it was pretty invigorating. Cloud deck at OVC004 taking off and marginal landing. Then coming back it was IFR. Minimums for me are IFR minimums at the moment. In and out of the clouds but mostly VFR on top but hard IMC during the approach. i thanked my...
