Real World VFR

Tips and Techniques for Improved VFR Flying

Ride along with a pilot and CFII on a series of challenging (and beautiful) flights. This video training will inspire you, and give you confidence to explore your own new flying adventures.

Gain valuable knowledge from every briefing, flight and debrief.

Find a small, remote island airport at night
Land at Boston Logan Airport (Class B) VFR in a Cessna 172
Fly the New York City Hudson River VFR Corridor, and then land at Teterboro, one of the busiest Class Delta airports in the world
Depart at night in the mountains, using an IFR technique to avoid them
Encounter VFR into IMC for real, at night
Manage system failures, simulated emergencies, and other surprises
Use the power of ForeFlight for VFR planning and in-flight situations
Navigate cross-country, using only pilotage and dead reckoning
Takeoff and land on short fields—some grass, some paved, some scary
Get sucked into a “black hole approach,” but escape to avoid disaster
Make an overwater crossing that is eerily similar to the JFK Jr. flight

And you’ll do it all hearing complete ATC communications, in all types of airspace and phases of flight.
