Instrument Arrivals Explained | STARs | Descend Via

Excellent explanation

So is a STAR actually a type of Terminal Arrival Area (TAA)? I get the textual description of a TAA but I have no idea what it is... just an area... to go from enroute to an approach but... what does it look like?

Very good explanation

Your teaching style is simply amazing. The way you re-arrange the charts to make sense of the illustrations is wonderful, making for easy understanding. How do I sign up for your course? Am currently on my nailing me IR ticket. Thanks for the video. 🙏🏻

The problem is to get those charts for free... But good video

YOURS GENIUS , I WASTE A,LOT TIME INTENTED UNDERSTAND HOLDING PROCEDURE AND WITH YOUR EXPLANATION I FEEL BETTER. I LISTEN THREE TIME BUT IS OK OK OK . THANKS . RUBEN FROM PUERTO RICO USA

Great and easy to understand (rarely to see)…

I can't express how much I appreciate your videos. In 2 years, I've completed 4 ratings and now working on my CFI and just now discovered your channel. I will recommend your course to all my students and wish I would have known this was available during my training. Thank you for such excellent work! Please keep adding more content, I'll watch every video!!

I can only echo what everyone else has said. These videos are a godsend, and so easy to follow. They demystify the black art of navigation. I am a visual learner so these are my bread and butter.

Where can I donate because the work and execution that goes into your Instrument videos are so brilliant that I want to support at least once.

Reshoot this one with real world situations. Ie not sea leave at standard temp. Due West Texas or Idaho in the summer.

Outstanding instruction

Is that MSFS?

Amazing videos! What a visual treat which greatly helps in the understanding of the subject. You are doing a great service to the Aviation community. Keep it going and Thanks a lot.

Quick question on the hold at WAVES. Would ATC direct us to enter the hold, and under what conditions? Great videos. 👍

Great stuff but I have a question about a real life situation. I'll apply the question to the Bellingham example just to make it simple. Imagine your original clearance was to the airport with a Descend Via, landing North instruction. There is a tremendous amount of radio traffic (like you might get going into KLAX) and, when you get to TUBTY, you have still not received an approach clearance. Your radio has not failed, it's just that the controller has apparently been too busy with all the traffic he's handling. You're doing 210 KIAS and are at 3500' and you're crossing TUBTY. Now what do you do next?

This guys videos are incredibly helpful

I will most definitely be using you for my IFR! Wish I would have found you sooner!

Awesome tutorial

Why you don't use jeppesen charts for these presentation ?

Stunning work! Studying for my IFR written and this video has explain STAR approaches like no other! Thank you

i have to learn so much. luckily it's all a simulation at my side.

That visual you made for this video is so unbelievably helpful and made everything click. I understood the concept before, but just from memory. now I have a full comprehension of the concept. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Terrific job!

I hope you are rich man, because your content sure is

Great refreshing course 😊 than you so much

Excellent explanation! I'm not a real life pilot nor am I training to be but I've recently been enjoying flight simulators and aim to join the vatsim network and fly as realistically as possible following real life procedures. I've been studying charts using navigraph and trying to learn the lingo. I like the way you broke down each segment of the ATC responses/instructions and clearly explained them. Most other videos I have watched brush over this when explaining charts and leave many unanswered questions.

I think I may actually get it now haha! A few weeks practicing these procedures and I'll be on vatsim in no time ;)

Would love to see a video on fuel and how to calculate how much fuel is required based on your overall weight, distance and alternatives. I've tried doing this with the C172 Skyhawk but I also run software that allows you to take cargo jobs within the sim and because the aircraft has had the seats removed for cargo the weight etc doesn't align with the actual manufacturers performance data. Would be good to see an explanation of zero fuel weight, usable fuel weight and all the other weight specifications :)

Extremely confusing for beginners, poorly done video.

BEST VIDEO EVER, SO CLEAR AND CONCISE AT THE SAME TIME, THANK YOU!

This is one of best instructional videos I’ve come across—thank you.

Can ATC amen minimum altitudes?

The last published speed on a STAR will be maintained by the aircraft until ATC deletes it, assigns a new speed, issues a vector, assigns a direct route or issues an approach clearance.

Bro this is the best video I’ve ever seen explains ifr arrival procedures. 100000x better than sportys and kings

So with this, lets say you are flying a STAR that has a crossing restriction at 12000 but your aircraft is not capable of flying at that altitude, would you be able to file for the STAR or accept it if given it since equipment is unable? this is the one thing that still confuses me with IFR training

You can’t speed back up once the star slows you. Maintain last assigned airspeed until slowed by ATC, the star, or you go below 10,000.

Also, it is very common to slow down while descending.

Way to go buddy!!!!!!!

Wish you covered at what FPM the descent should be made

great lesson.

When flying a star and ATC gives you a descent clearance lower than the next segment altitude restriction, how do we comply with this?

HELPFUL? Best ever! Thank you!

Super helpful!

Great explanation! Thanks

"you cant lose airspeed and altitude at the same time" ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT 💀💀

Two words

330kts at FL390 is freaking hauling lol

Best video and explanation ever. As an IFR student, thank you very much, and please keep on with this great material.

This guy is a goat

All your videos are FANTASTIC!!! Thank you!!

Regarding IFR flight planning, my understanding is that STARs can only be joined at or before the first arrival waypoint. That is, they can be joined at any intermediate waypoint along a transition. Is that correct?
