imc

Hello everyone, While recently chatting with some pilot buddies, we talked about flying in the soup and spatial disorientation. I mentioned that I tend to get "the leans" pretty much every time I enter a cloud layer. A buddy said he only felt the feeling once before which I thought was pretty...

Let's say me (an IFR-rated and current pilot) and a friend (an IFR-rated but NOT CURRENT pilot) wanted to file and go up together in actual IMC (no hood or foggles). I want him to do most of the flying just so he can have fun in the clouds. Neither of us are CFIs/CFIIs Would he be able to log...

This is an excellent video by Joe Casey (DPE) on Spatial Disorientation. Some of the illustrations and techniques in this video are eye opening. Ways to show the effects of SD and ways to avoid SD begin about halfway through the video (see they guys spinning with the bats - LOL). Enjoy!

I’m currently 18 and I (as of today) have started instrument training. I got to experience real IMC and couldn’t be more excited to get this rating. Just as a general conversation…does anyone have any tips that could benefit me as I go along?

Ever heard of 178 seconds to live? A few weeks ago my friend Martin Pauly and I went out for breakfast in his A36 Bonanza and we decided to make a video demonstrating him flying "by the seat of his pants" to see how long he could fly before getting into an unusual attitude. Martin is an in...

So, I'm ready for my IR checkride. Simulated checkride, complete. CFII sign-off, complete. Logbook reqs, complete. Written, yep. This past weekend, we had low CIGS (200-400 AGL) and ground temps in the 50's so it was ideal for IMC flying in January (no ice). I didn't need the flight...

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. Another member of the aviation community recommended I drop by here and check it out. I've read some posts and I really like it. ANYWAYS... I took to big of a bite for my first solo cross country last week (July 27), which is also the extended cross...
