Sometimes when I create videos, I try to be really new and innovative, but other times, I just create what I wish existed while I was training for my license. I hope you guys enjoy a video like this with some cool graphics to help explain something that's not entirely evident before you start flying for real.
Hey, did you guys know that the FAA actually certifies flight instructors to tell you everything that I try to convey in these videos? You should definitely talk to one of them instead of trusting some video you found on the internet, because who am I to tell you how to fly? I'm just a pilot sharing my experiences with the world, and these videos are not meant to be instructional or advisory in any respect.

Getting back to flying after 18 months it’s really nice seeing a run of basic pattern work and tower comms.
Really appreciate the added text . Helps a lot specially when your mother language is not english or american english. Thank you for the videos.
You're welcome, friend! :)
I'll be doing a flight review soon after a 20 year break from flying. This was great for awakening some disused brain cells. Well narrated. Thanks.
Beautiful close-up shot of the landing gear strut compressing when you raised the flaps, losing the lift and loading the aircraft's weight into the wheels. Thanks!
I know! I loved seeing that for the first time, because I always figured that's exactly how it would behave. Glad you appreciated it too :)
Friendly Skies Film Dont worry, I knew you put it in on purpose. IIRC, you're an engineer, right? We engineers love watching the usually hidden parts of a machine perform the way it was designed.
Robotics Engineering. Yourself? Right you are :)
Friendly Skies Film So where I grew up, you could specialize from high school (around age 15). I chose electrical engineering and then went into software a few years later. Ultimately I ended up with a master's in software engineering. Nevertheless, I still haf plenty of general engineering subjects.
totoritko
Good choices! I think Electricals learn sooo much. I made the wrong choice with robotics, and haven't learned anything new in four years, but hey, such is life :)
Your videos just keep getting better and better! I love your undercarriage camera, it is really cool to see the gear get light as it speeds up down the runway. I love the overlaying graphics of your tachometer, and your checklist, excellent video editting job. and as always, i love listening to your atc communications.
Thanks, mate! It's comments like this that make me happy to keep making these videos :)
I absolutely love this video. I want many more like this... hearing the thoughts the pilot is having while flying is very insightful. full flight would be great... starting at walk up until engine off
Of all the types of clip FSF uploads, this kind of video is my favorite, it allows me to refresh my practical knowledge on days the weather just won't let me and my instructor fly :) I love the commenting out loud on what you do, and the descriptions of usual pitfalls for student pilots is golden. Great channel and looking forward to many more, keep it up! :)
Yeesss!! Thanks for the feedback. I like these too. I think the real golden radio for my channel is one 1/3rd fly-alongs, 1/3rd video essays, and 1/3rd specials shot with a real camera and more people on the ground and such. I so rarely get good feedback on the type of my videos! I wish you were one of my patreon guys so you could be on the advisory board!
Another great video from Friendly Skies Films! Love how you so fluently verbally go through your checklists cockpit operations. By the way I grew up in Westford Mass and love seeing New England from above!
I try! Glad somebody notices :) Seeing your home from above can just change your perspective so much. One of the many reasons I enjoy taking my friends flying.
Worcester & nice view- a sentence you don't hear too often.. always had fun flying into 29 full stop from Hanscom with my Dad. Thanks for this
Impeccable video as always. I discovered your videos a year ago and took my discovery flight Jan 2nd of 2016. I have 58 hours now and taking my written next week. Your videos were a great inspiration and I've done all my training in Piper Archer II's. Thanks for all you contribute to us GA nerds!
Aw! Thanks for letting me know, eventually as the case may be ;) I'm so glad that I could do that for you and everyone else. I felt the same way about MrAviation and Steveo, so I decided to do the same for others. You made my night, thanks :) Oh, and good luck! Let us know how it goes!
Great video as always! Thanks for taking me flying and for sharing all these crazy adventures!!!!!!
You're the best, mate! I know you already know this, but you are destined for great things, and I only hope that we can share some of that crazy ride together :)
Very enjoyable flight liked it very much all worked out great.
Getting checked out in a Warrior tomorrow if weather permits. I have many hours, but no single-engine time in the past 35 years. Found this video when searching for Piper Warrior Familiarization. Very helpful. Brutal crowd of commenters on here, though. What do they think this is, an Airbus 380? Chill, dudes! Your responses to them were very gracious and professional.
Nice video! I'm student piloting in a Warrior currently, so this is great review footage for me! Thank you!
Thanks Nick, Friendly Skies Film. As always I enjoy all your videos. Merry Christmas !!!
Same to you, mate! Thanks :)
Great video as always Nicolas! As a pilot friend of mine from Arkansas used to say: "She flies like a homesick Angel"!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Mark in Iowa.
Same to you, mate! Thanks for commenting :)
super nice great video, love that ATC scrolling text.. and intruments on Runup Check.. thanks
Glad you enjoyed! Hopefully people will learn. That's why I make them after all.
This was really useful! First lesson in the Warrior tomorrow :) Very excited! Thank you.
Your post production work is helpful for understanding what's going on.. thanks for the extra effort!
Glad you enjoy it! I'm going to think about more content I can provide like this, so let me know if you have any ideas.
Nice video. I got my private in a 1977 Warrior II. You worried me on the go around when you didn’t show retracting the flaps before taking back off. Once airborne, the camera angle was such that I could tell that the flaps were fully retracted and it was edited out of the video. It is s an absolute blast to share the experience of flight with passengers. Nice Job!!!
Great video… Excellent approach explanations and landing…
I will be doing this tomorrow weather permitting here in the uk for the first time as I have applied for a flying scholarship and I am so excited!!! X
@Friendly Skies Film You are the only person I know that does the run up with the Right magneto first
I'm glad I found this gem from 2016! Excellent video
Thank you. Great video. Keep them coming.
Love the detail explanation and this is coming from somebody that is ADHD.
great video. really like the graphic for the runway you used which explained your dialogue between you and tower and how relates to the field, for us non experts anyways.
Yay! I love it when people notice the small things :)
very simple but informative.....enjoyable and cool!!
Really enjoy your videos. The others are good like Mr. Aviation 101 but really enjoy watching your videos and learning something each time. I am a student pilot and it is always nice to continue learning...keep them up!
Thanks, mate! That always means a lot when people tell me that. So glad you enjoy them. As long as you guys keep liking them, I'll keep making them! :)
Very well filmed.
Great video. Especially useful for flight sim specialists.
That was my hope! Thanks :)
Nice flying, well done!
Thanks, mate :)
Instant like. I don't even have to watch the vid to know that it'll be great!
You're too kind ;)
Great Video! Good pilot!
Love it :) thanks for adding all the information. Awesome.
Nice video. Shows wheel shots, pre-flight check lists. Thanks.
Awesome as usual. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year. You say on Facebook that you are flying home for the Holidays. Hope you have a great time with you family. Jack
Flying far away from home, but with family, actually! Escaping the cold in Southern Florida. Thanks, mate, and the same to you :)
Hey Nick, if you fly near Middle Georgia, stop in at KMAC and I'll meet you and say hi. Will even take you to lunch or diner.
I have friends in Alpharetta, so quite possibly! Thanks for the offer, mate :)
Friendly Skies Film ,If you do give me a call. Number is 478-957-1445.
Really nice video. I flew a warrior 12 years ago. Have since played on sims with one. It's been about 18 months since I've done that though. Was nice to see this and to have the text and checklist posted up especially. Love it. I think I will go back to it. Thanks!
Well done, watched a few times. You know you could shut the talker in the back seat off, right?
Dude in the back needs to STFU
😅
hey Nick always enjoyable your videos mate, Merry Xmas buddy
Thanks, old friend! Same to you :)
best flying video ive seen great job
Very well produced video! Keep up your practice and consider the effects of the terrain on wind, there's a large depression just short of the runway causing the sink you felt. Fly safe!
Thanks, mate! Same to you :)
Loved it. That third notch of flaps…in the Cherokee it makes the nose pitch down so you have to hold the yoke back to avoid a sink just before crossing the threshold….In the video it’s the opposite, nose pitches up
Very cool video!
Thanks for the great video happy holidays from KFNT.
Thanks, mate! I can always recognize you by that profile picture :)
Facebooks a p40 flying tiger lol
Fantastic video !! 👍🏻
lmao absolutely stunned by the swear words in the beginning of the video
Your editing really is the best. Please make a video showing how you're able to record the audio from the coms with the GoPro. 🤗
Hint: It's not recorded on the GoPro ;) That's why it sounds so good.
I like your videos, I fly N9027F, everything about my aircraft is very similar to yours,
Good job, very informative vid!
Thank you, friend :)
very informative video . keep up with the videos!
Will do, mate! Glad you enjoy them :)
love videos like this.
Yay! Glad you enjoyed :)
That's awesome thank's for sharing.
Great video! Ironic to see you flying near my childhood town, Holden!
Hey, that's actually where I live! Where has the world taken you now?
Friendly Skies Film
Living in Glastonbury outside of Hartford. Starting up lessons again--tomorrow, actually! Out if Brainard. Got about 25 hours flying out of Sterling when I was 16-18, ten years ago.
Been siming in the meantime while I worked on the CPA exams. Got my letters this past winter, so it's "personal goal" time. aka PPL.
Stumbled on your vid browsing some pattern flights. Amazing how helpful sims are with active ATC integrated. Very much like your flight! Looking forward to getting back into things (for real).
Good luck! Best hobby in the world, but you already knew that ;) I actually have a friend who's moving to Hartford right now and looking to start lessons. If you would be so kind as to write me an email after you've taken your first couple of lessons there and tell me about your experience, I would be ever so grateful.
Will do! I'm taking lessons at Premier Flight Academy.
Yep, that was my guess. Thanks so much! I'll look forward to hearing back for you :)
love all the vids
Thank, friend :)
Good job
That's a high quality video right there.
I try, mate :)
nice work
Thanks, mate :)
UA-cams talk to text CC is ridiculously in accurate.
This was super helpful! I just re-started my PPL training after a year's hiatus and I'm switching to an Archer from a 152, so any Piper-specific info helps. Keep up the good work!
Glad I could be of a service :)
Great video!!
Thanks, old friend :)
This was really nice, one of the things us sim pilots often rush or don't ever learn to do is all the pre-flight planning, checks etc. It's too easy to not bother. (That's another reason I like the A2A PA28 - no walk-round, no remove pitot probe cover, no Airspeed...!)
I've been fortunate to have some flight training, so I have been taught some good practices, but I know there are loads I'm missing. Just seeing you calculate things like distance to threshold, thinking about required flaps - as opposed to what I always do: 1st at abeam the numbers, 2nd on base, 3rd on final made me wonder if you could do a video just compiling some useful flying tips that help you work in-flight, the little things to think about that help one fly more professionally. Although this would help sim pilots immensely, it would also be of use to students as a recollection of the kind of tips you only receive from a human instructor, the things not necessarily taught in the book...
(For example, I'm trained to tower level on Vatsim, but it was only by tuning my local airport real-world and trawling through videos on youtube that I learned all the little local procedures, reporting points, etc...)
"sim pilots" lololol
That sounds like a great idea, and something I've been thinking about going up to do by myself recently. It's not too much fun to go anywhere in the dead of winter here, so why not just fly circles instead! How would you like it if that was a 360 VR video?
Extra points for video overlays! :)
I think knots were 'invented'/introduced to aircraft so that it compensates for the distance from ground and curvature of the earth. Really 'knot' sure about that (badum tiss) instructor told me it when I did my 5 hour or something.
Great video, I loved the graphics and display of the checklist etc, must have taken countless hours in editor.
Video idea; get Xav to do a stand up or improv. That'll be great (but do it as a side video because I love the flying)
I'm over in France right now, meant to be skiing, but there is no snow, so, have a better holiday than I'm having, and have a merry Christmas (if you celebrate it)
Thanks, mate :) I can always count on your comments to make me smile. Merry Christmas and have fun traveling!
I subscribed before watching this video. (Connor landing was first.) Definitely love the content already. You are very informative in your videos. Really wish you were local to me, since I believe you are an instructor? I'm looking to get a PPL.
I wish I was! I just love sharing the joy of aviation :)
Is there a reason you aren't other than the costs of the certifications?
I mean, if someone knows where I can get my CFI for free, I'll be there before you finish commenting! XD
HAHA. If I hear of something, I'll let you know. lol
0:29 Vibing to the engine
great very clear thanks a lot
You're welcome :)
Another great video! Quick question. I once asked my instructor if I could put a gopro on the outside of the airplane. And he told me that you need a STC (supplemental type certificate) to do so. Did you get one of those to put your gopros outside of the plane?
You definitely do not need an STC. At most you would need the signature of your A&P to authorize the minor modification that has no effect on any of the performance characteristics of the aircraft. There are tons of forum articles about this all over the web, though, and with far more knowledgeable advice than mine.
Restrictions may differ if the plane is used in a Part 135 operation, but most likely only if you actually bolt it to the plane. Straps would not count as a modification any more than dirt would. No one has ever requested an A&P authorization or STC for dirty wings. Nick is quite right -- lots of conversation about that topic on the webs. Google and prepare to be unsure.
Thanks for all of the feedback! I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't get into any trouble by doing so. Thanks!
Hey Man, great Video!
Btw, where can I find the Gorpro dashboard mount, you've got?
Thanks, mate :) Made it myself. I'll let you know if I ever start selling them.
She looks excited to be flying
Thank you.
You're welcome :)
I remember my first time in Woo'Sta, not War'Chester. Fun New England town.
Frequency is shared. Read backs are important, to minimize confusion and avoiding incidents, but voicing gratitude is not welcome at a busier airport and is a bad habit to get into. Keep your transmissions clear, concise, and to a minimum. Air traffic controllers are just looking for answers to 3 basic questions upon initial contact: Who, Where, & What. Who ( Piper Warrior, N280RT, for example), Where (reporting point, such as a land mark), What (take off, remaining in the pattern, full-stop, touch-n-go, or en route). Note: once you have told the controller your aircraft make & model, all you need is just the call sign, for any follow up transmissions. The controller may have written a strip on you after the initial call.
Personally, I would have preferred to get that nose wheel off the ground as soon as I could, but just enough to break contact with the ground, so I can still build up speed quickly, with just the main gear. It takes a little practice, but you don't need to hold the nose wheel down on the pavement until you rotate. Doing so wears out your nose wheel faster. If you are rolling fast enough when you can steer down the runway with your rudder, you don't need to steer with the nose wheel. See soft field take off technique.
Such an awesome video Nick, I love seeing content creators going back to the basics and just making some fun interesting videos every now and then.
A couple of questions/stuff to think about, I've noticed that your checklist says the boost pump should be on for the run-up, any particular reason why? Since I've become an instructor I've begun to think about why checklists are ordered the way they are, and some Piper checklists call for that to be on. Personally, I want to know that the engine will run in the run-up without the boost pump on. Something to think about!
Also, do you normally use 10 degrees of flaps for takeoff? I know in my Warrior I use 0 or 25 depending on what type of takeoff I'm doing.
Anyway, I enjoy enjoy seeing content from a fellow Warrior pilot. Rock on!
Glad you enjoyed :) I've thought about that before actually. I guess I got distracted last time I was thinking about it. The only thing I can think of might be that higher fuel pressure might help with cooling the cylinder heads? Perhaps I'll cycle it in the future. It's about time for a redux of my checklists anyway. As for the flaps, I was taught with no flaps, then the second I had my PPL, all the instructors said, "yeah, we just tell students that. Use one notch for best lift." I was like wtf guys? I have to say, they are correct, the climb rate is pretty great, though.
Yes, CHTs on the ground climb rapidly without air flowing so ensuring fuel delivery is good. It may also be there to avoid creating a vapor lock during run-up that then spoils your takeoff. However you also want to know if your fuel pump is working before you shut off the boost pump in the climb only to discover you're shutting off your engine as well. Bit of a quandary.
I have contemplated starting the run-up without boost pump to verify fuel pressure, then turn it on to make sure it's also working. However, I'm not an A&P and recommend consulting one before diverging from POH. I think it also depends on the engine.
Interesting note about CHTs during run-up. We're all taught to do runup into the wind. That's actually important if you're in a taildragger. But it turns out, due to physics and stuff, that you get best airflow through the cowl if you do the run-up facing directly downwind. Again, do not do this in a taildragger, the high AoA creates bad vibrations. But in a tricycle gear plane this method can greatly reduce overheating during run-up or even lined up waiting for an IFR release with the engine running. Fun facts. As an engineer I thought Nick would enjoy digging into that. It has to do with high and low pressure areas around the prop.
i.b. hemp Wow, I hadn't heard from you in a while, and now you come in here with all these fascinating comments today! Amazing! Thanks, mate :)
I wish all controllers were like this👍🏻
Love the video overlays. Great job as usual but between your chatty passenger in the rear, your pre-flight seemed rushed. No offense. I didn't observe a few items that are on most checklists. Flight controls free and correct? Gauges in the green-Airspeed alive on takeoff? Also I was taught to turn around and verify my trim tab being set for takeoff, and not just assume it's aligned in the cockpit. Maybe Warrior's are different however many Cessna's never line up as indicated. Keep up the good work and thanks for the video.
I find it funny that you call what I would coin a "run-up" a "pre-flight", because that is when I do all the things you mention, before the plane has ever left the hangar. Seems silly to get out to the runway, and only then notice that your cables are crossed :P You can do the takeoff stuff in head too, you know ;) Not trying to dismiss your concerns, btw. This is just what I mean in my most recent videos when I say that the online community gives us a deceptively good reputation. I'm sure you don't, but if you think half of the pilots out there fly with the standards you guys hold us to, you're very wrong. Glad you enjoyed, though! :)
Friendly Skies Film if anything I was just mentally going through my checklist which calls for you to check the flight controls after the engines been started. I'm not making any comparisons nor trying to be overly critical. , I've seen some bad flying out there in the last 2 years. Keep up the high quality videos.- oh and I concur. The preflight term was me being half awake.
William Fence
Oh, I know :) It's more than ok, it's what keeps us all safe. Thanks, mate!
as usual, a great video...love the plane..i fly the Archer II here in Illinois and love it. Btw, any chance someday you will share the secret of your camera "pad"..i don't always like suction cup on the front window
I've been considering commercializing it because you guys love it so much. You'll be the first to know when I do :)
Please do...I think it would be worth the price..enjoy the holidays!
dvlourie1
You and a lot of other have said that, so I think I will this spring. I had a few prototypes from a chinese manufacturer, but I wasn't terribly pleased.
Make it in good 'ole Murica!
dvlourie1 Hey, you take your black plastic Go Pro mount the camera came on in the box, yes, the square one 4" X 4", drill holes in each corner, and sew it down to a square bean bag, and glue the threads so they don't unravel. The bean bags like the one's you use for football tailgate games or similar. Sorry Nick, they are easy to make, but then most people probably threw out that plastic plate! 😎
Super buenoo!
awesome vid! Keep up the great work! Sorry if this is a really complicated question but... how do you get all those awesome overlays? Like the RPM and checklist?
Also if you dont mind me asking... how are you recording the sound of you speaking? Its really clear
All post processing is in Adobe After Effects CS 5.5. I made a custom converter cable from the aircraft's 1/4" jack and levels to an iPhone 5. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Friendly Skies Film Awsome thanks! :)
I can't wait to be this comfortable in a cockpit.
By the way a word of advice that was recently given to me was don't say "for" before your callsign (just say it) because it could be misheard as "4".
Hm, interesting point. That's all I hear from Boston Approach, so someone should tell JetBlue too ;P
tHANKS you for this vidéo. good quality and sound.Can you tell me what is the name for the support for you front GOPRO. i do not see the same in France .havea good day and Christmas off France.
Thanks :). Made it myself. I'll let you know when it's for sale!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the open captions. Always hard to understand ATC and often ATIS. Do you have a switch to mute passengers when listening to ATC and other planes or the reverse? Never see you adjust it.
Why is the fuel pump ever turned off? Why is it not designed to automatically cycle as needed to maintain pressure, like in my car? And carb heat compared to a car's automatic EGR system. Don't understand why these must be manually controlled in small planes.
How on earth did you do the rpm gauge??!! Great video. I'm in the process of getting my CPL in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. I've uploaded some low quality vids hehe but will hopefully add some nicer ones soon. Greetings from Santa Cruz, clear skies and safe flights.
Hey west coast, friend! Blue skies to you as well :) All gauges are recreated from scratch in Adobe After Effects CS 5.5.
You seem to answer almost all of the comments and that's truly awesome! May i ask are you IFR certified? :)
Yeah, buddy! Thanks for noticing :) Nope, just a VFR guy.
I'm asking because i'm getting my PPL this summer and i really wanted to get my IFR, but it's more expensive then the PPL and i can't afford it at this stage. I really enjoy your videos and how you explain everything and even put the checklists for us. Much appreciated! And now knowing that i can do what you do, with out getting that IFR really makes me happy! :)
Selim Mustafa
Ah. I'm in the exact same boat. I would rather use my money to get more people interested in aviation than to advance my own personal agenda. I'll see you up there real soon! :D
Love the new format
I don't know if I would call it a new format, but I'm narrowing in on what I want the channel to be, I think.
well I enjoy it, keep it up.
How do you mount your camera to the exterior of the plane (e.g. the landing gear footage), is it just a normal GoPro sticky mount thing? Also is there any issues with exterior mounting with the FAA? My flight instructor here in Australia said the CASA (Aus version of FAA) don't allow anything to be mounted to the exterior of an aircraft. The school also wont let me put anything in the aircraft either which is annoying as my previous school did and I found it a great learning tool to review everything later. Anyway loving the videos!
Ah, CASA, yes. I have a license conversion for AU, actually. I've heard that they are stricter on such things, but I use MyPilotPro mounts. You can see them on my Facebook page. They are spectacular! As for your school... I personally think they should allow it. We actually send our students with gopros for quality assurance with our instructors.
Friendly Skies Film Yeah, I thought it odd too but they're a bit old fashioned I think. It's a shame though because the views even just from the circuit at Caboolture of Bribie Island and glasshouse mountains are beautiful. I'm only a few hours off getting my RPC from RAAus so once I've got that I'll be able to take some awesome videos anyway.
Awesome video mate, you'd be a very calming person to fly with. Have you considered instructing?
nice video! but on the option, flaps 3, you cut out what happened next! did you raise a notch on the runway, or after gaining some altitude? I must know! 😅
Very nice video. Would like to know what you did with the flaps during the touch and go. Thanks
Retracted them? Beyond that, not sure what you're asking. Feel free to clarify :)
Did you go directly to clean after full power? Or leave one stage
The Flying Locksman
Clean, simply out of habit from how I was trained. One stage would have offered optimal climb performance, for sure.
Friendly Skies Film thanks :) once again great vid keep it up👍
Flying to a Magic the Gathering event!!
How do you get the gauges on your youtube videos? Do you have something connected in the aircraft or are the graphics added later and just estimated?
Adobe After Effect CS 5.5, motion tracked from video :)
hello, which video editor do you use to overlay other imagens such as checklist or the airport diagram ?
Adobe After Effects CS5.5
Nice job. Can't help but wonder if the controller was so thorough because he watches your videos. LOL
Hm. Interesting point. I haven't noticed any difference as my channel has grown, but I've always wondered :)
Let me guess you've been playing My Summer Car since you were saying Finnish words at the beginning :P Like Satana. Great videos!
All my gamer friends have been! XD Confirmed!
Cool, did you log RPM data for that overlay gauge?
Nah, just eyeballed for example, but funny enough, I am developing a product for aircraft that would effectively allow RPM logging.
Awsome video..
i just want to know which software is good to use as simulator at home for beginners.
and by that i mean software which has real life situations and airports.
Thanks, mate! Well, why don't you check out my video on the subject! :) ua-cam.com/video/EREA6D7dIRc/v-deo.html&lc=z13gunxzrmuyjd3ax04ciflompibjlzoqy00k
Sure thanks for the help Captain :)
Nick... have you considered a live Q and A where you take questions on a live broadcast?
I would love to, but I really want to do it in the air... If I still can't figure out how to be that cool before the summer, I'll do one while I'm at OSH or something :)
Friendly Skies Film does a hot spot work at 4k feet? if you have someone in the back seat with a laptop.... it might be slightly buggy but really fun. we were looking into our web cast from the lake but i abandoned the webcast
Weldon Hastings
It kinda does... I feel like what I would really like to do is circle low and close to an airport, that way it lessons my workload, and I can be low while still having a place to land. I probably will do it this summer.
can you have a copilot share the work load 1 technical and 1 person on net comm? couldnt you do a holding pattern to eliminate local radio and atc chat?
Consider yourself lucky to have such an attentive ATC.
They're the best :)
Nick I'm curious why you used one notch of flaps for the first take off. My instructor always has me use no flaps on takeoff unless we're doing a soft field or short field takeoff. Is that just a personal preference thing?
I was actually taught that way too!! Then the second I got my certificate, all the instructors told me, "yeah, yeah, that's what we teach, but we all really do it this way." Do this day I haven't been able to get a real answer out of them as to why, but they are right on one thing. It does drastically increase your climb performance, and I enjoy that in a single engine plane. Great question! :)
