I’ve just found this channel and have always wanted to fly. For Christmas I got kings ground school and hopefully starting flight training soon. Watching this is making grounds school a piece of cake. And hopefully makes flight school less stressful and easier for me. Love the channel don’t stop what you are doing🙌🏽🙌🏽
Sienna has improved 6 fold since she started. Looks like she's ready for unassisted landings next trip. This has been very educational watching you teach and her learn. Excellent job!!!
Thanks for making these videos! I'm pre-solo and it's fun to watch another student go through the process. You guys have a great connection and that's what instructing is all about! 💙✈
great video! I watched this 3-4 months ago when it helped a ton to relieve my pre-solo anxiety. now I have my only long-xc left before checkride. Thank you for all the videos Chris! BTW, has Sienna done her solo? would be very curious to see how she went and how is her training going right now !
I love your videos, you´re just like an English speaking version of my Spanish speaking (German) instructor. I started my training on 6th March and (yes this is crazy!) obtained my license on 9th May - 70 days in total - many hours of studying and flying practice - this is for an ultralight (ULM in Spain, I think you call them light sports aircraft in the US). I´m now transitioning from the training plane to my own (with my instructor of course!). One thing I practiced today (at 2000 feet for security) was how the plane reacts while descending with flaps (as if landing) and the speed drops to stall speed or below. This isn´t something that was in my lessons, all stalls were from level flight which, in reality, is an unlikely or less likely event. Knowing what happens and how the plane reacts at low speed in a controlled descent has given me much more confidence when landing. Looking forward to the next video and seeing Sienna´s progress.
@angleofattack Was touring the Homer FSS yesterday and watched your plane fly and heard her on the radio. Tell her I said congratulations and that she did great on her landings especially in really busy traffic for Homer. Look forward to your future videos. Will be training in Fairbanks Flight Service soon.
Absolutely. Inducted current from the beacon getting into the audio chain. You just have to find the right ferrite to do it (there are diff ones for diff freqs)
This is so fun and helpful to watch! I’m a little behind Sienna’s progress, as I’m just starting to learn how to land now so “seeing what’s next” is really helping me mentally prepare! I’m recording all my progress as well so I can look back at it just like Sienna will be able to. Great video!
Hello from Southern Ontario, your videos are great lots of helpful information & quite the scenic views, you guys have helped encouraged me to take a discovery flight & easied any nerves I might have had, hope to one day fly up to Alaska.
just found your channel and Im just a few lessons from my solo, so now Im invested in this! Very thoughtful teachings, and Im learning a lot even from behind the monitor!
Sienna has a knack for flying. She’s calm, cool, and collected. It’s my dream to get a private pilots license. I will never be able to afford it. I’m so proud of you, girl! ❤
Dont give up on your dreams. I am a 44 year old woman and recently started ground school. I am definitely not giving up at this point. You can do it. Keep dreaming and believing
Gvas & Skill are right. I felt the same. But one day I said f it and made a plan. I’m 28 and would change my career and have a whole story, everyone does, but grabbing your life yoke and controlling it are what matter. I made a plan. Am getting my real estate license and whatever money I’m able to make(can’t do full time) will go to the private pilot fund I’ve created for myself lol it’s like a big savings. Whenever I have some extra cash or hopefully sell a house! Whatever money will go towards classes. WISH I could get lessons from this guy, but that would need it’s very own fund 😂 but I’ve got a plan, have taken my discovery flight and now I’m saving up to hopefully be able to take 3 flights a week at my local school at their block discount. To be airline is my dream/goal and yeah those hours are very discouraging… but I think about the first little bite. Which for me was admitting it was something that gets my heart beating loud and proud. Then I cut things out of life I didn’t need or would rather get my private pilots license with, for example PPL fund > Netflix, PPL fund > drinks with friends multiple times a week, ppl fund > eating out. Everyone’s in a different spot in life, but if you can, try and make it work! And if nows not the time, then maybe later (I first thought it would be an awesome career when I was 18. I couldn’t even afford college then 😂 but I made that plan work lol! Long story short, find a way! Make a way! But you’re your own #1 fan! Push yourself forward the most! Might start a UA-cam channel of my journey, that’s something else on the bucket list!
Great video as usual, Chris! Two comments: 1. The high pitch feedback from the beacon was particularly bad this time 😣 2. Im curious as to the lack of emphasis put on getting the nose DOWN in the power off stall recovery. She was holding that thing back the whole time and all that was being addressed was getting power in, which as we know won’t break a stall on its own. I see so many students when im doing mock check rides fail to get the nose down and actually break the critical angle of attack so im curious what your approach to it is with your students?
I’d have to watch it again. But what I see is too much of an emphasis on breaking the stall and less of an emphasis on recovery. In other words, assuming the student is close to the ground, they aren’t going to be able to nose dive to break the stall. I want them to learn to reduce the AOA enough, but not excessively.
@@angleofattack for sure. Definitely don’t want to dive at the ground, but do want to unload the wing enough to not only break the stall, but to also avoid a secondary stall as the power is added. Appreciate the response! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hello! I see that you do sometimes reply to questions, my question is, how do you know when to turn in a traffic pattern? Like when you're going upwind into cross wind? How do vou know when to turn onto cross wind and onto downwind, etc?
Sounds like a herd of mice are screaming during most of the video. Maybe from wig-wag or beacon lights coupling in noise? Please add a low-pass filter to the audio or something!
@@angleofattack No, I'm not say that at all. But what I am saying is; that she needs to stay ahead of flying the plane. * Flight planning * Meteorology * ATC and clearance * GPS navigation * Radios and communication * FAR/AIM VFR * BAK * Ground services and maintenance That's all Chris, I didn't mean it to be taken the wrong way. 🤪📚
In my OWN opinion, man shes a long way from doing a solo, i font feel she is as serious about this as she needs to be, Chris you got the patience of Job.
I'm 30 years old, I'm not confident if lazy eyes people can flight. I find confusing information on Internet, In my case is not a really advance one, it's about 70/30 vision quality per eye I already have a job as tech leader at a software company, but I feel the "call to flight" in all my body XD, Would be nice to become airline pilot, but it's ok too if I can "only" do PPL flights, I would not earn money, but at least would be fun Thanks in advance!
For student confidence, maybe no demonstration and just talk her through stall and landing. Students learn best and especially fastest by doing. We have lots of manipulation of control time, they have little. Also she needs to feel only her control manipulation. No problem with jamming your thumb under the yoke on short final to prevent her wing wagging by trying to turn to correct longitudinal axis rather than the proper yaw correct or better walk the rudder to bracket the centerline and not have to correct. Your dynamic proactive rudder control is excellent. Let her get there with iterations. Don't take away iterations. Good job, just need to be a bit looser.

Great video, but that beacon light audio feedback is brutal
My dog hated this video.
Came here to see if anyone said anything about it
Beep beep beep

We need more CFI's like this guy Thank You for the Great Content and continued Well wishes and Good Thoughts for Sienna's Journey to get Her PPL
Can't tell you how many white claw dude-bro CFI's I've seen that Chris puts to shame.
You are doing a great job teaching sienna to fly, she also responds well to your teaching. Congratulations to you both.

That is super cool! Thanks so much. It was really neat. Glad you got to see it.
I can tell by how calm she is, she is going to be a great pilot!
I love when you start the video with "clear'.
Really fantastic student pilot, Sienna is just so focused, she will be an amazing pilot.
Maybe a ferrite choke would help with the beacon feedback, cheap and simple to give a try. Not sure what other options there are off-hand.
Absolutely. Inducted current from the beacon getting into the audio chain. You just have to find the right ferrite to do it (there are diff ones for diff freqs)
So much fun watching someone else go through this process. This makes me want to get out and spend some time in the pattern!
It’s the “CLEAR!!!!!” for me 😂😂

Very nice progress Sienna...Great job Chris...

Woooooow
Congratulation Chris . Nice to meet you .
awesome ! i just soloed 2 days ago so fun! especially me and her are about the same spot in training
just found your channel and Im just a few lessons from my solo, so now Im invested in this! Very thoughtful teachings, and Im learning a lot even from behind the monitor!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this!
Great channel ❤
Good job Sienna 👏👏👏
Keep up the good work
God bless you
❤❤❤❤❤ it thanks great video seeing her again.
The gum showed when she was a tad nervous. Too funny. Awesome flying and landing. You make me want to learn to fly. 😮😂
Gosh I want to get back into learning to fly but not $$$ready yet.
Chris, Great job on the video and the training. Seinna is progressing quite well.
Sienna has a knack for flying. She’s calm, cool, and collected. It’s my dream to get a private pilots license. I will never be able to afford it. I’m so proud of you, girl! ❤
Don't think that way! You can do it, its so worth it!
Hi Shannen, I think you’re right about Sienna but I encourage you to somehow, make your dream come true!
Dont give up on your dreams. I am a 44 year old woman and recently started ground school. I am definitely not giving up at this point.
You can do it.
Keep dreaming and believing
I have the same dream. To fly the skies. However, I'm struggling to afford it also.

Curious What the high pitched squelching sound is?
aoa angle of attack
@@MrBarbuster They're talking about the audio that plays through the video. Def not the aoa.
Great video but this was distracting
Beacon through radio
GO SIENNA! So proud of you and good job instructor :)

🔥🔥🔥
how many hours has the pilot gotten up to now?
It’s funny cause I’m working on private right now too and I soloed on Monday. So her and I are pretty much going at the same pace
Quem bom em saber que vocês conhecem o Brasil, sou do estado do Espirito Santo.
Sounds like a herd of mice are screaming during most of the video. Maybe from wig-wag or beacon lights coupling in noise? Please add a low-pass filter to the audio or something!
I think I figured it out. It won’t be solved for a few lessons, but I’m pretty sure I can eliminate that somehow.
More confidence on the radio;
* Who
* Where
* What
🌏🛩️
Are you saying she wasn’t doing well?
@@angleofattack No, I'm not say that at all. But what I am saying is; that she needs to stay ahead of flying the plane.
* Flight planning
* Meteorology
* ATC and clearance
* GPS navigation
* Radios and communication
* FAR/AIM VFR
* BAK
* Ground services and maintenance
That's all Chris, I didn't mean it to be taken the wrong way.
🤪📚
My dream is to become a pilot i have the passion. i love it . but unfortunately i living in iraq 😢
❤❤❤
I imagine he'll see the comments about the audio and make sure it doesnt happen again...right?....right!??
Welcome back.
KLEER!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
In my OWN opinion, man shes a long way from doing a solo, i font feel she is as serious about this as she needs to be, Chris you got the patience of Job.
good or bad you have to let her fly
I'm 30 years old, I'm not confident if lazy eyes people can flight. I find confusing information on Internet, In my case is not a really advance one, it's about 70/30 vision quality per eye

does Sienna have any social media accounts for us to follow? She should make one specific for aviation 👀
I try to keep that private. Lots of creepers out there.
Has Sienna soloed yet?
For student confidence, maybe no demonstration and just talk her through stall and landing. Students learn best and especially fastest by doing. We have lots of manipulation of control time, they have little. Also she needs to feel only her control manipulation.

Just a heads up, your right wing fuel cap appears to not be closed all the way. Take your time on preflight and verify "CFI".
It is closed. They’re on an angle.
There's something absolutely agonising happening with the audio?
I’ll fix it in the next one.
Lots of landings, how about go-arounds?
The stall maneuver my instructor gave me scared the cr@p out of me. It basically ended my flying instruction.
Pitch up is wrong! The Cessna will pitch up by itself. You have to PUSH when going round to prevent a stall.
That’s a good point.
Nice to watch but please, dump the gum.
Jeez I can't watch this one, I can feel my brain frying and my ears about to bleed. Very disappointing.
Sorry about that!
