Hey everyone, Jason Schappert here of MzeroA.com
last week, if you didn't see last week's video
there's the link below, last week we planned a great IFR cross country,
from Melbourne up to the Ocala airport, and we did it all on ForeFlight
let me recap for you on the iPad
so remember we departed Melbourne, our clearance was
to fly to DEARY, Victor 537, which we programmed
all in here, all the way up to Ocala, and I added
in overlaid the RNAV GPS runway 1-8 approach because I believe that's the
approach we're going to shoot in, again assuming because it's an IFR
day, so we have all that there, and again we always say,
the airplane is a terrible classroom, so don't only learn
everything we can on the ground, but prepare everything we can ahead of time on the ground,
so with that in mind, Avidyne, which we fly all Avidyne has a great
IFD trainer app for iPad, that let's us practice
on the ground before we even make it out to the airplane.
So you heard me say before, learn everything you can on the ground, and then we can
demonstrate it out in the airplane, so let's take this same route
and let's now show that in the Avidyne, so I'll go over to the IFD
trainer app, and you can see I already have everything already set up over here
I've got us on the MAP page here, getting rid of
our alerts and setting all of the alerts and setting all of that up, now, I want to head on over to
my FMS my flight plan page, and I'm going to program
all of this in, what I'm going to do is I'm going to tap on the black screen there
and I'm going to put my origin in, I'm tapping where it says origin, and it knows
my origin is MLB, it's where I'm departing from, it's where my aircraft in
this simulation is actually located at, and I'm going to go ahead and
press enter, then what's next? It told me to fly to the DEARY
intersection, so again I'll tap just below that white line,
there in the black portion of the screen, it's a waypoint,
so I'll push the waypoint, and I'll type in DEARY, I won't have type in much, because it knows the waypoints
that are close to me, all I did was type in DE and it's looking for
the nearest waypoints near to me that meet that spelling
I'll press enter. Now, this is where it gets interesting, remember
in the ForeFlight video, Victor 537 has a lot of doglegs
at different intersections, well, previously we would just type in each
intersection, it changes its heading, not so anymore, if I tap below
that white line, below DEARY again, you can see I can choose a waypoint
to hold at DEARY, to orbit DEARY, or it knows all the airways
that are associated with DEARY, and sure enough there's Victor 537
so I add Victor 537, it's
now asking me where do I wish to exit Victor 537
at, well remember, I can take this all the way
down to I could choose just OCF, I could choose VANNI, which was along
our route knowing that I want to shoot the approach, I'm going to choose to exit
Victor 537 at the VANNI intersection,
now again, let me go back here a second, back over to ForeFlight to show why I did that,
because remember here, here we have DEARY to PRESK
to CERMO on Victor 537 to VANNI
now my clearance was Victor 537 to
Ocala, but you and I all know we eventually have to shoot an approach
in there, so as I get closer, JAX approach is going to ask me what approach
do I want? So, I'm programming this thinking ahead to the approach
that I want, so VANNI is right along my route because it continues on to OCF
and by that point, either at that point, or before
I'm hoping to have vectors to where I'm going next, which is SOWMU,
as you can see there, again who names these intersections here?
SOWMU is where I'm looking to head, so let's go back over to our trainer app,
and you can see, I've exited at VANNI here, now I'm going to go ahead
and tap to add something else, I'm going to add another waypoint, now it's important
in the Avidyne, so we don't have a gap enroute,
that I actually add SOWMU as my next intersection,
now what was it SOW, I believe, there it is SOW, SOWMU,
enter, and I'll explain why in just a second, and then we're going to go ahead
add a waypoint and it's going to be KOCF
not just OCF there, so I have all of that set
up. Now, I want to go ahead, now that Ocala is selected,
here and it's at the bottom, I'm going to press the procedure button on the right
hand side of the screen, procedure, I'm going to choose the
RNAV 18, tap on that, I want to pick it up
at SOWMU, as you can see there, pick it up at SOWMU
and press enter, now when I go back to my route here, I can
see from VANNI, and see how it puts that all on victor 537
to SOWMU and then into CUFJO LUGGY
CUMIB and then runway 1-8 all the way in,
and then after I arrive at Ocala, it also has the published missed approach
in there for me, one thing I love about Avidyne is the moment
I go around, and it sees I'm gaining some altitude, it just loads it.
There's no suspend approach, it's going straight missed,
the Avidyne's always thinking ahead, and a good IFR pilot is always thinking ahead.
Never just assume you're going to have a nice easy landing, always think ahead and
assume you're going to go missed. So, I have all this
I can now pull this up on the map here, and I can see MLB
to DEARY as my active route, shown in magenta, my next route
here you can see all the way up to PRESK, flying all
past MCO up to CERMO, all the way up to
VANNI, now remember I put in the plan VANNI,
to SOWMU if I didn't do that, if I just chose
to go procedure, or VANNI Ocala procedure,
I would have what's called a gap enroute, meaning this leg from VANNI to SOWMU, would
not exist, because it would just start the approach at SOWMU,
but it wouldn't know how I was actually going to arrive there.
So remember, I made a point to say I'm going from VANNI, I'm putting in SOWMU
even though I know it's an initial on my approach then Ocala,
and then procedure, and loading the approach from SOWMU because I have to have
a leg, I have to get to SOWMU somehow in the GPS's eyes
from VANNI to SOWMU, and then it shows my approach all the way
on in as you can see there, the power
of learning everything we can on the ground
I did all my flight planning in ForeFlight, I got you know my practice clearance,
I went to the IFD trainer on iPad, and just
planned it all out, this is something you can be sitting on the couch, planning fictitous
flights, loading it into your trainer app,
and practicing, because when the engine is running in front of you, and the Hobbs
meter is ticking, and you're number three for departure, and ATC
just changed your route, and you planned this beautiful flight, and they say hey, 23 mike zulu
I have an amendment to your route, it happens in IFR flying, we can plan the most
you can plan the most beautiful route just to have it changed, we need to know
how to make these changes, and these updates, again, this simulator here
too, you can actually fly, you can change your airspeed, you can do what ever you want, to
act truly simulated, it's a very, very cool piece of software.
Listen, I hope you'll come and visit us at Sun N Fun, we're in hangar D,

will be there all week, and I can't wait to meet you
shake your hand and hear what you're doing in aviation
