Instrument Flying – Multi Tasking is a muscle that you can make stronger!

IFR training has been a long and slow journey for me, but this sort of skill building mission reminded me that even after I get the rating, I am going to want to do things like this (with a CFI or safety pilot) to keep my skills sharp.

Huge thanks to Jason Miller for being willing to share this awesome training. Please give him some love and subscribe to his Youtube channel: The Finer Points

And an extra shout out to CloudAhoy for being a big part of helping to tell this fairly complicated story. Their link is below as they have been a long time supportive sponsor, but here it is again up here – absolutely the best flight debriefing tool available!

Nose wheel aircraft can land off airport too – but pilot skills must be sharp!

We did a great number of traveling productions last year, but most of them were shot during our epic trip to British Columbia Canada.

This was in large part thanks to Ryan from the BC General Aviation Association.
If you fly or are planning to fly in BC please visit:

They have found a way to energize and bring the local aviation community together.

Here are the episodes that are available so far from that trip, and I will update as the new ones are published:

He gave me some great notes while I was rough-cutting this video; here is some additional context from Patrick that I couldn’t fit into the episode:

The part about talking about sand vs. rocks for decent places to set down is pretty geographically specific, there are places where that won’t really hold true.

Along those same lines there is certainly plenty mentioned about vetting the bar for the season, but I always teach vet the bar every single time.  I have been on a bar that had a barbwire strung across it 1 week after I had been there, and only caught it because of a piece of surveyors tape fluttering in the wind.  Also on that note power lines can pop up quick.  On a drainage that huge probably not, On narrower drainages we have seen high tension lines strung up in a matter of days.  
All in you really can’t be too careful when vetting an area.  I teach straight out of the helicopter operating handbook about High, mid, low level observations before committing.  I realize these guys know the area very well and you might want to reiterate that strongly.
