Great to hear some of the flight chat at the end there. Easy-going with the old guy and the youngster sharing flight and craft tales. It's what's life is all about. Sweet.
Altitude is safety when you're flying. Don't be afraid to get as high as you should. Gives you more time to pick a bail-out field if you lose the engine.
Nothing builds self-confidence like flying solo in an ultralight. Alina will benefit from this for the rest of her life regardless of if she decides to make flying a career. Well done Mr. Scott.
Hi Alina. To answer your question as to how did your GPS unit know where you are. As I'm sure you know there are navigation satellites in orbit around the Earth. These satellites send out a constant signal. Your GPS unit on your ultra lite can pick up these signals. Each signal from a satellite to your GPS unit is often referred to as one line of position from your GPS unit to that satellite. This means that your unit is somewhere along that line. Your GPS unit will pick up three of these lines of position to three different satellites. Then within your unit it will automatically calculate where those three lines cross, and that is where your GPS unit / your aircraft is. Now that your unit knows where it is, all it has to do is wait for you to put in the destination of your choice and it will calculate the course to follow from where you are now to where you want to go. The GPS unit will calculate its position every time you turn it on and it will keep updating it's position until you turn it off and that's why you don't have to tell it where you are, only where you want to go. Technology is pretty cool 👍 Even ships at Sea use this tech. Qm1 US Navy (nav. Div) Vietnam veteran
Love watching you fly. You're a natural. Clear your high twelve more, you don't want to climb into anything. That's why I had to throw my chute while hang gliding one time. BTW, does your ultralite have a parachute?
@@williamh.scottv438 Is a parachute worth it on these? I think uflyit sells a rocket-powered parachute for around $5000 USD and there is a video elsewhere on UA-cam of it being mounted. I wonder sometimes about those ballistic parachutes sometimes and whether they'd be useful for probably the most common situation where you'd even consider one which would be a power-on or power-off stall on takeoff or landing, respectively, but I doubt it would work at such low altitudes. It sure would be great to have if you lost a control surface or lost control at altitude, etc.
@@Quake120 I know nothing about this but yeah, a parachute is nice. But then do we need one? Heavier, more dangerous when you bail bc your plane will crash and it might hit people right? I heard and seen videos of people landing without the engine on to demonstrates how it just glide like a paper airplane and you just need to land it using proper techniques from your training. I think airbags installed from the side of frame is better if you land on trees or emergency glide down it just pop and you are safer landing with airbags.
@@JohnDoe-kc8si the parachute we referred to is attached to the frame of the aircraft so you don’t bail out, it allows the whole craft to descend under parachute. It would probably be best used in situations where you can’t glide to a landing for some reason

I flew on an airplane (King Air C90 jump plane) once right after recovering from a cold and got a BAD ear block. That was seriously painful. Alina isn't going as high as we went (13,000 AGL), but still, even 1,000-2000 feet could cause an ear or sinus block and they are not fun.
She is a trooper. She has 100% pilot in command authority so if she ever doesn't want to fly for any reason I don't question that at all. She wasn't congested to such a point that pressure would build up in her ears and therefore didn't require any medications that would have been prohibited by the FAA.

Enjoyed every minute...glad you got got some hagar talk in with fellow pilots too. Doin great Alina, keep it up young lady!🎉😃🎉
Your landings are sweet. Greasers every time.
Your flights are great
Loving these videos! Thanks for sharing. 😎👍🏻

Cool adventure, add the 360 view camera, it's really cool too, I even want to buy a camera like that to take videos of my flights.

My regards and happy landings from the Netherlands EHV😅
I just subscribed , I could watch this all day long ,it looks like fun ! 😀😎👍🏼
Thanks
@williamh.scottv438 Your Welcome!
Thank you. Alina, a new viewer here. From England.

Thank you for that description sir and thank you for your service. I hope she meets more people like you.
She is so mature and switched on👍
Enjoy your flying u do great job
You're the pettiest WWI fighter pilot I've ever seen/😊
Head on a swivel looking for the red baron!😊
J aime beaucoup. NYC landing
Классный полёт ❤ Я из России слежу за вашими успехами.
Wear a knit hat will keep head warmer! Great job!
U ever go through lockart tx airport
Alina, I'm going to freeze. Put another stool there, okay? 😊

No parachute
Aim High!🛩

Hi all,can anyone tell me is that devise that Alina is looking at on her right some sort of sat nav for aircraft ??
GPS
@@williamh.scottv438 Thankyou for your reply
Good
Poor girl is sick. Why is she flying?
