AOPA’S AIR SAFETY INSTITUTE RELEASES ELEMENTS AND VARIATIONS OF APPROACH CLEARANCES IN THE BEYOND PROFICIENT VIDEO SERIES

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Institute (ASI) released a new video in its Beyond Proficient series that provides a unique perspective on how to fly safely in the departure, en route, and approach profiles under instrument flight rules.

Elements and Variations of Approach Clearances illustrates the four components of an approach clearance and how those elements come together,” said ASI Senior Director Paul Deres. “Constructing the clearance elements helps pilots visualize and anticipate what their approach clearance might look like, therefore facilitating copying and reading back clearances.”

“In addition, the video clarifies what to expect when cleared for a full approach versus a straight-in approach, and when to expect a hold in lieu of a procedure turn,” Deres concluded.

ASI collaborated with FlightInsight to create the series’ videos that offer tips and tricks to master complex instrument flying aspects.
