Flying My Wife To St. Augustine | Pilot VLOG
I haven't done a flight like this is such a long time. All of my time flying these days seems to be as a CFI helping students achieve their goals, which is such a rewarding experience. Sometimes though, you need to take some time off from work and go and have fun, which is exactly what we did today! I flew my wife, Aline, to St. Augustine, Florida. It's her first time ever and my first time in years. It's not all romance though as I made a VFR navlog for myself which is a dying art in aviation with the introduction of EFB's. I'm not saying EFB's are bad. They are absolutely fantastic, but manual flight planning skills are something I have noticed have diminished in pilots these days and I...

Flight School's Cancellation Policy Is UNBELIEVABLE | WTTS Pod Ep. 7

I Need To Improve My Landings | Let’s Rate Them
Просмотров 6 тыс.14 дней назад
After weeks of landing poorly, it was high time for me to get out on my own and practice. Flying is all about proficiency and when you don't use your skills you lose them, which is exactly what has happened to me. After not performing up to my high standards before today you'll see in this video how I snap my streak of poor landings and have fun along the way. Don't forget to give me your ratin...
SPIN Recovery In A C172
Просмотров 12 тыс.21 день назад
During flight training in the US, we CFI's always teach people what a spin is and how to recover from it. The problem is, it's easier said than done. A lot of people don't get to experience a spin until CFI training or even worse after inadvertently putting themselves into a spin. This is why I think it's never a bad thing to try spins before they are required by CFI training. Regardless, the r...
Student Pilot Flying SOLO | Flight Instructor's Perspective

My student Jonathan is flew solo which is a huge achievement. I'm so happy to share the footage with you. Along with that I give you my view from the ground as the CFI. What goes through a flight instructor's mind as their student goes solo? What does it take, what does the instructor do and more questions will be answered in this video.

A Day In The Life Of An Independent Flight Instructor

Flight instruction jobs get looked down upon by much of the industry because "nobody wants to be a CFI". While that is true for most people, it's not true for me.

Being a part of my students' success is a huge part of why I love doing it and in this video you'll get to see w...

Learning To Land A Plane Is HARD!
Просмотров 12 тыс.2 месяца назад
As a pilot, I've found that one important thing I'm always working on are landings. There's no way around them. You have to do them! But they aren't always perfect. For a student, learning them is tough and until it clicks it can be frustrating. But don't give up. Keep going and you'll get there!

    Lew, I couldn't agree with you more that paper based, using an E6-B pilotage and dead reckoning are becoming a lost art and should be taught to mastery prior to allowance of any modern radio navigation methods (incl. GPS). I don't think any aviation education can be called complete if the aviator cannot state that they were so misoriented at one time that they had to go to the nearest town, circle, and reorient by reading the name of the town on the water tower.

      ​@@LewDixAviation I think it was Ceasar himself who 1st said the "lose both feet, eat more meat" quote or whatever you said.. Sorry for the long reply and delay (no pilot likes a delay) But I was *busy with my new specially commissioned hybrid A380 172 (think body of an A380, single prop with the wings of a Cessna172) I do have a teeny tiny issue with it though, it's a little umm 'challenging' to get it airborne (or even moving) I'm sure I'll get FAA approval and figure it out soon as I've been binge watching your vids lately, and I feel pretty confident you will teach me all I need to know having never flown before, I like the serious nature of your disposition. Anyway I'll give you and your new 'wife' (rip otto😢 poor fella) a free trip to anywhere you like. Any tips on the A380 172 boss, and where'd would you and your wife like to go? I think Narnia would be a good destination but can't seem to find it in my sat nav. (*this msg may contain high levels of BS but being British and on the interwebs, I've never lied, plus it made me giggle that at least once someone has actually tried to visually conceive the brilliancy of my A380 172) May your success and happiness continue with ever increasing velocity 👍

    My first XC… instruments were weird. On the way out, track was a drunken man. On the way back, CFI said to follow my chart and homework. Straight as an arrow. My first XC signed off by an another CFI, the GPS went offline. Followed the chart and my first waypoints. There and back. My final solo XC before checkride prep… GPS failed again. Again went old school. Again made it there and back. If students can’t make it without something else telling them when to turn, their instructors are failing them….
