RelativeWind still goes in the logbook the same 😂. I’m going to call myself out here though. I’m am absolutely terrible at keeping my crosswind correction in after landing.
Mr LewDix, I think I want to be you! After a lifetime of dreaming about flying, I decided it was now or never. According to the Gregorian calendar, I'm currently 5 decades plus 5 years old, and just started flight training in Fort Myers, FL with a total 7.3 hrs of flight time so far. My goal with this flying stuff is to do more than just wipe the grease off of my face from the once a month $250 hamburger, but instead to keep my wings flapping as a happy-go-lucky CFI like you or maybe even charter people to their dream vacations in the Caribbean... man. I'm so grateful that I came across you and your channel. You've opened my eyes to how aviation can be fun and not so serious, which is how I've always I needed to approach it. You're super inspirational and delightfully entertaining, and after watching your high-end production about the 3 different instructors, I think you have a sitcom in your future.That was about the funniest thing I've ever seen; next to Monty Python of course. Thanks for being you and offering such valuable first-hand aviation content to us newbies:) Welcome to the sky
To me the landings are like a golf swing, sometimes you get the perfect one, and then next one less perfect. So you practice, try to do everything right, get everything better in the muscle memory and focus on the ball.
MrPielover61 in the uk, you have to be 16 before you can do a solo and you need 8 hours of solo. So that’s what I based it off and also trying to save money as well by getting it done in a shorter period of time without forgetting anything.
Just passed my Easa PPL check ride today...exhausted but happy. Thanks so much for your educational and fun videos.. helped me a lot Lew! Maybe I’ll take some FAA lessons when I’m in Orlando area ✌🏻
a good tip that I learned from my instructor for when you come in for a landing is. When you turn final, add the spins on the trim wheel to make it easier to flare when you come in. Amazing tip that i learnt and all my landings are smooth because of it
To be honest my flight instructor also told me to cut the power when reaching 200ft then to glide and land. I normally do not listen to that instruction, I just cut the power at 100ft below and glide to land. My landings were much smoother and easier. My flight instructor was impressed and did not need to guide me on my landings for traffic patterns further.
TenMinuteTrips I totally would! But I’m a student pilot so I’m just in pistons. I’ve found the in ear head sets don’t have as good noise cancelling as the traditional style
Please tell me if right or wrong. Pipers would require more on holding on the power for a softer touch down. My impression is that the student is reducing too much on the power. Easy said looking from the outside. Hope you make a comment. Thanks. PS. Sorry for your "F" situation.
I don’t think so. I always land the Cherokee at idle. There’s more of a case for landing the C182 with some power in, but you don’t really need it. Just trim back and keep the nose up.
@@LewDixAviation don't play with my emotions. I'm up here bored to death. I did send the ramp guys to remove a turtle from taxiway A. That was exciting.
"Looking good, always looking around" "It's cool to be around all these big planes" "Yep... 80 knots, perfect." Haha! Exactly like that vid where you were taking the piss out of a typical easily distracted student pilot - "IS THAT ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL?!" ;)
Er incorrect. I make sure there’s is proficiency with paper before allowing electronics. That’s why you haven’t seen my other student JD using a tablet yet

Any landing you walk away from is a good landing. Any landing the plane can still fly after Is a great landing.
Yeah but....a little rough haha

This sentence always sounds like it's kind of a miracle to land a plane.
Christian it all depends on who you fly with.
As always Lew, the instruction is so supportive. Love it.
Thanks Jon as always!

At least you’re busy with students mate. You’ll be back with the big boys soon. Up the Chelsea!

Can’t wait, 2 months I’ll be 16 and able to start learning to fly
Harry Tibbs tip start saving money it’s expensive
Why do you have to wait until you are 16? I started flight lessons at 12 (albeit like two a year until I was 16)

@@harrytibbs6313 I see. Good luck when you do it :)
MrPielover61 thank you 🙏
Great instructing Lewis. Cool, calm and first class. Excellent job, well done as always! 😎👌🇬🇧Tim
Keep um up they're brilliant!!
The hardest part of learning to land for me was remembering to look all the way down the runway
That is really important! And even more necessary in a glider plane landing !
Just passed my Easa PPL check ride today...exhausted but happy. Thanks so much for your educational and fun videos.. helped me a lot Lew! Maybe I’ll take some FAA lessons when I’m in Orlando area ✌🏻
AWESOME.....I flew this plane when I was taking lessons up in PA. Warrior 32042!
"None of the landings were bad landings"
Thank you for saying exactly that.
Great approach for the landing. I liked learning on those smooth calm days. I really think you learn a lot more in the beginning in those conditions.
I like that background jazz track - intro. What is that track list? Again, another great educational video.
Our local VOR (CHA) is also on 112.2 :-)
i did a double take when the emergency broadcast came up, never know what 2020 gonna bring next

Some back trim?
@@kyleschieler1298 I would assume
@@kyleschieler1298 trim the trimmer backward because you can either trim down or up. Basically, you trim so that the aircraft wants to pitch upwards
Jason Herbst so then when you go power idle it naturally transitions smoothly, I’ll try it my next flight lesson.
Kyle Schieler it really helps 😌 just dont trim much 👍🏼
Nice

I don’t teach that. Airspeed control until low enough to go power off and hold the nose up to the end of the runway.
How do i schedule a lesson? I have 40 hours and need to get better with my landings. I can come down to Orlando at any time.
Hey man, shoot me an email and we can coordinate.
At what point do you have your students take the ground school exam?
How many lessons/ landings does a student take before you are hands off?
We love how we have to wear our glasses so it doesn’t mess up our noise cancelling😂
Haha and to stop the arms of the glasses digging a trench in the side of our head
LewDix Aviation The real struggles of being a pilot!!
Switch to Clarity Aloft. That problem goes away.
TenMinuteTrips I totally would! But I’m a student pilot so I’m just in pistons. I’ve found the in ear head sets don’t have as good noise cancelling as the traditional style
It hurts so bad hahahha

You're missing the death grip on the yoke!
Come down to BOW and keep my pattern warm.
On my way...

@Mindy Janis I never saw him. If I can't see his face, how do I put a name to it?
I want you to be my ppl instructor
My landings are more accurately described as "arrivals". You definitely know you're there.
I wish my instructor is as cool as you. Can you be my instructor?
"Looking good, always looking around"
"It's cool to be around all these big planes"
"Yep... 80 knots, perfect."
