IFR Alternates Video Tutorials
I made these in 2010. When giving initial and recurrent Part 135 IFR-PIC checkrides, I noticed that one of the subject areas that pilots consistently had the most trouble with was the IFR alternate rules. This is certainly understandable; the rules are complicated and confusing. The quality (especially the sound quality) of these videos is not great, but some may still find them to be a helpful study supplement. (Designed to be used primarily as a companion to AVEG 1.)
