You’re such a great instructor, you really bring so much life and energy to the cockpit, there’s no doubt that the people you’ll be flying next to will love to have you as a pilot/co-pilot
I got a real kick out of this video. It took me back to my training. I did my private training on the same aircraft type - 38 years ago (I'm still current). I remember this exact lesson - like it was yesterday (thanks to your video). Jose reminds me of me when I was learning the same things. One big difference back then was nobody had, nor wore, headsets. That, and my instructor smoked throughout the entire flight (as students did back then too). The armrests back then had built-in ashtrays (believe it or not). My instructors, as great as they were, did not provide the awesome ongoing positive feedback that you do. Your feedback, positive reinforcement, and encouragement of students is truly awesome. Your student pilots will look back on you with great appreciation and fondness. Everyone remembers their most awesome instructor. You have a great way of making instruction positive and fun. I enjoy watching you at work. Kudos to you!
D. Wayne Otto Thank you for your feedback too. It’s always great to hear that a viewer enjoys my style of instructing. Thank you again. As for the ash trays, I’ve seen them in a few different cherokees. It’s crazy to think of both student and instructor smoking. Different times!
D. Wayne Otto My dad learned without radios, then hand held mic without headsets and we both remember, as non smokers, ash trays in club aircraft with ash in them! Different times!
I'm already falling in love with you because of the nice pace of instruction that makes every maneuver seem easy ....I'm a new student pilot and yours will be my goto page!
I watched this video years ago when I was learning slow flight and power off stalls, and it helped me out a lot. Now I’m starting CFI training soon, trying to learn how to teach them. Appreciate the videos.
I’m a student pilot only 15 hours. I love this video! Ive watched it numerous times! I love to binge watch your videos! My family knows I’m watching your videos when they here me laughing incessantly.😂 You crack me up!!! Don’t stop making videos once you get your commercial job back!
I can greatly appreciate his teaching style. lots of feedback , constant interaction and loads of info ... how could someone not accelerate with an instructor like this.
I lost my airspeed and stalled over then runway once about 20 feet high or so. My instructor went full power and nose down then gave it back to me to land. I learned something that day!
one my first flights in an arrow we did a go around because of a golf ball on the runway and that flap lever slipped from my hand and we almost fell 75 feet to the ground, gave my instructor a heart attack
I always ask students why we do stall practise. Yes so we can recognise and recover....but how do we know how slow we can fly coming into land. Some kit built aircraft don't have coloured bands on the airspeed. So take it up to altitude, do a few stalls and find out from that a safe speed to approach and land. Many kit pilots i have flown with have never stalled their machines.
Wow you bring so much good vibes in the cockpit! It's great to laugh every once and awhile to keep students from being nervous over thinking because some instructors don't really bring in any good vibes when a student is learning how to fly for the first time making them a little uncomfortable.. I think how you're teachjng your students makes them feel comfortable, encourages them to learn with not that much pressure behind their backs! Keep it up man!
Thanks Jomary! My philosophy is that flying must be fun! You are paying a lot of money for this and when you're laughing and feeling comfortable, you're going to be learning more!
Honestly man your a phenomenal teacher which is very hard to do. You explain things well and keep your students wanting to learn with your amazing energy. As a student pilot I thank you for your instructional informative videos
Great Video!! You are awesome as an instructor. No stress. I started my training 8 weeks ago and my first check ride is next week. I loved your explanations. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you
I've watched a few of your videos now and I have to say you are a fantastic teacher! I hope that my teacher will be just as good when i learn to fly :)
I’m a teacher from the UK by trade and I can see that you have a fantastic relationship with all your students. I’ll be in Kissimmee next week. I’ll keep an eye out for you flying over
Just a note that the ACS says to establish a stabilized descent first then transition smoothly from the landing attitude to a pitch up attitude that will induce the stall. (500ft per minute) works well. Nice video!
Ok this is really interesting. Can you make a video about theory portion of the flight training as well? Like what are they taught and how for their theory portions.
Great job at being thorough and making your student feel like he’s doing well. It’s all too common to see instructors not letting the student fly and trying to micromanage flight controls. I had a instructor that kept his feet so planted on the rudders that I could barely press them.
I find a lot of captains at my airline are like that too. There’s too many instructors like that around. I’m trying to break the mold. Thanks for the kind words!
God i wish you were my instructor, we would get on like a house on fire. Having my first proper lesson in 3 days. Airport has been closed for ages because of the weather back here in blighty. Your videos are the only thing getting me through this wait. Keep up the videos my friend. This video made my mind up on the whole patron support.
Robert Norman I saw your contribution on Patreon mate and I really appreciate it! I’m glad my videos could get you through your waiting period! Good luck on the lessons!
Watched a couple of these but will probably binge watch them. I am a metrologist (not meteorologist) and I have done work on a lot of avionics RF/Microwave equipment. There's a systemic problem with fraudulent calibration/certification from 3rd party for profit calibration companies, at least in the US. This includes equipment from tests the air data test sets to equipment that tests the integrated landing systems (ISL). Because I witnessed this, I now have a slight fear of flying. I certainly won't ever fly commercial ANY time soon. However, I need to get around. So I am going to get my PPL at some point and just fly myself, as I will get to personally review the test reports/data of the equipment used. This way, I can address my slight fear of flying AND my needing to get places faster in one swipe. Also I say "slight fear" of flying because I've been up in helicopters/airplanes with friends/family members piloting and didn't have a panic attack or think I was dying or anything. Anyways, thanks for the inspiration to continue. Take care.
Great video - the instruction and support made me smile great Job! - how did you manage to record the comms so clearly please my comms are always crackling quite loudly and hard to hear ?
LewDix Aviation and btw, i just became one of your Patreon supporters. Keep the good job and thank you for making the training videos enjoyable and fun to watch.
thanks it's really helpful to refesh my training I had when I got my PPL, through your videos. I'm wanting to get back into the air after a 20 year gap
I've changed my instructor because he's the most negative person I've ever seen I've reached a point where I hate flying with him I really wish you were my instructor man absolutely amazing job ❤
That was a really different slow flight ,am a student pilot too in turkey flying a da-20 so the rpm basically never exceeds 2800 so my slow flight means putting throttle to 1500rpm maintain 65 with flaps cruise and nose up trim then t/o flaps maintaining 60knots and Same with ldg flaps ,hard to understand how I should maintain nose up since the aero foil was increased and had to decrease the aoa but now I understand
Like on my Cherokee 140, in ground effect, pull yoke back steadily but do not let it off. Think if a ratchet that holds it at that position. No back and forth on the elevator. Keep looking into infinity hold the yoke back like getting the zipper open on your wife's pants. If the stall light winks that is ok. The stubborn Cherokee with it's under-camber airfoil (like P-51 wing) will not stall but settle into ground.
cody4211 the problem with taking them all out at once is the reduction of your lift so close to the ground. In my opinion you should leave take the flaps out in stages to avoid that big lift reduction.
You are very god instructor. The best learning is when you make it funny and friendly. I have one question. I`m in flight school for mikro airplanes. First 5 hours I was flying Sirius TL 3000, and that plain have front wheel fast (not moving to side when you turn). Now, I`m giong to start with Atec Faeta and this plain has front wheel moving when you pressing the pedals. What is difference when you landing with those two airplanes. I mean, when you landing with side wind, then you should push opposite ruder, but then your front wheel is turning to the side?????? Can you explain please. I like to learn everything before class, so thats reason I`m asking you. THX
So I am currently in year 11, and after 6 form I want to start getting into being a commercial pilot Will I have to go through a stall, and if so, is it scary because I am dreading this.
Hey there! I just did the first stall lesson today, (shown in this video). There are a bunch of diferent types of stalls (power off, power on, and spin). A power off stall (in this video I think) is really calm, it's not scary at all. I haven't gotten to power on stalls and you wont need to do spins for a private but would need to learn them for Comerical and CFI. If u have any other questions I might be able to answer, but dont take this as necessarily true, I have a whole 4hrs lol
Man during my training I listened to some idiot that had me terrified of stalls! Then we finally did one and I was like wait that’s it? I thought it was going to be way worse but it’s not bad at all.
You’re such a great instructor, you really bring so much life and energy to the cockpit, there’s no doubt that the people you’ll be flying next to will love to have you as a pilot/co-pilot
Jacob Francis Thank you Jacob! I appreciate your kind words!
@@LewDixAviation I honestly wish I had an instructor like you

Man I love the excitement you have for your students...I've only watched two videos of yours...Definitely can see you love what you do!!!
Thanks man! I tend to get excited when they do well haha Feel free to watch more!
You are so positive and encouraging. What a wonderful way to teach aviation!
Thank you!

Very good video of slow flight and stalls
my first stalls today, third flight. hot day, bumpy air....thrilling (scary) and ready to go again! love the videos LD.
Nice! Best day to do em! Haha thanks man!
I cant say enough how GREAT it must be to learn from an instructor that is so COOL.. Love your vids..
I lost my airspeed and stalled over then runway once about 20 feet high or so. My instructor went full power and nose down then gave it back to me to land. I learned something that day!
Sounds like you tried to kill your instructor haha. It happens! I've had it happen to me a few times. At least you learned!
one my first flights in an arrow we did a go around because of a golf ball on the runway and that flap lever slipped from my hand and we almost fell 75 feet to the ground, gave my instructor a heart attack
Ben Berger Some flap levers can be tricky and it's easily done by a student.
You learned that your instructor is afraid of doing go-arounds
@@coasternut3091 we had plenty of runway to land after correcting the plane.
I love this instructor he is so calm and caring
You are the poster child for what we all hope to have in a flight instructor.
Ah thank you so much!
DITTO, I'd like to also say you're an AWESOME instructor.
Two thumbs up. 👍👍

sweet video! I Fly the Diamond DA-40
Nice landing !! and Awesome Instructor!!
I'm actually on these maneuvers in my class right now
Nice!
you are a super cool instructor ... wish i had a instructor like you ....
Just a note that the ACS says to establish a stabilized descent first then transition smoothly from the landing attitude to a pitch up attitude that will induce the stall. (500ft per minute) works well. Nice video!
Yes sir it does. This was his first attempt at stalling and he did a great job! Im glad you enjoyed the video my friend.
You are a awesome, very hands-on, calm and capable teacher man! I wish i lived over there for trying to get my PPL....
Thanks man!
You legend! Thanks for this videos, I am new to this and it’s amazing!
I can only hope that if I ever take lessons/instruction that I have an instructor that I could gel as well with.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome sir
Superb video. Great instructor and a great student.
i wish i was your student in my earlier days! Welcome to the Sky!
Ahh thanks man!
Your videos are really good Bro. Wish i get you as my Flight instructor, planning to get my PPL maybe sometime end of next year.
Good videos bro !

Been a week since you've flown? Been waiting on my stage check for over a month!
Bro you murder your flap extensions😂😂😂
I love it!!! Can you do some ground school mixed with flying? Come to KC Missouri and be my CFI!
Great video bud. Sweet landing Jose! Must have been wearing a LewDix Aviation tshirt but with the logo on the back ; )
Bentz5000 haha man you must be a psychic because I have some shirts ordered and will be ready to sell within the next week or 2 ;)

i thought the music was the stall horn lmaooo
Tom cruise did a good job with his first stall 😀
My instructor used to tell me " YOU CAN DO BETTER I GUESS" even if i landed like an eagle.😅

Amazing!!! Thank you!!!
I was always taught that if you take the flaps out slowly and smoothly, you can take all the flaps out at once when going around.
cody4211 the problem with taking them all out at once is the reduction of your lift so close to the ground. In my opinion you should leave take the flaps out in stages to avoid that big lift reduction.

Requesting lazy 8s and chandelles lol seriously though
You should never be afraid of stalling a plane, but I sure as fuck can be afraid of you stalling the airplane.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT---you did not let the student experience a SICK-SHAKER--witch will
ALERT you EVEN when the electric alarm is malfunctioning!!!
Stick shaker?
