Silver Air, and your left seater should be commended and thanked for allowing this to be recorded and published. It demonstrates how well trained, professional, and proficient their crew is. Bravo! And fun to watch!
This is amazing. My 4 year old gets excited when the “pink plane” flys over our house going into KMCO. He calls it “My mommy’s plane” which she has flown from KMCO to KEWY and loved it.
Extreme degree of professionalism all over, special mention for the incredibly fluid, clear yet very polite communication both on FD and with ATC, Bravo !
This is very eye-opening! Your commentary alongside the full CRM flow absolutely crushes anything else I've come across. Definitely looking forward to more.
You dont need me to tell you but what an example of excellent airmanship and great CRM, you both seemed to have a professional and positive dynamic. Great service to the industry!
This video made me really happy. It reminded me of your video when you've just been furloughed. Things seemed dark at that time. I know you're back flying for the airline for some time now, bit still. I'm really happy to see you back in those planes! Have a wonderful time flying!
Yea that was a difficult time. I was a little lost and had to deal with feelings I’d never had to experience in my professional career. But being on the other side it’s an amazing feeling. Thank you so much for your support!
What a great video!!!! Even at 51 I would love to get my commercial to fly for a small airline someday!! Thx to the Captain and Silver Air for allowing these to be made!!!!! I fly out of TPA all the time
Thanks for all of this mate, it's such good content. I love how you get this super nice vids about your current career while still bringing us the good old CFI/CFII content with the always appreciated banter :).
Great video brother! Thanks to you and Silver for giving us a peek at what it's like to fly the ATR! You're an inspiration to me bro, your fun filled videos help me stay balanced and remember to have fun while flying as well as learning! Safe flying bro!
There are very few videos that capture the cockpit view and a decent view out of the windows at the same time. This is one of them. You really can see that crosswind landing and how you guys deal with it. Many thanks!
Ah man that was so nice to watch! I’m currently at the start of my ATPL theory and I’m struggling like hell, but watching this reminds me what it’s all for!
Thank you for sharing this flight. It's great to observe a crew environment. I wish other carriers would do this. I think it's helpful for pilots who are new to the crew environment (like me).
I absolutely love these videos! Ask the crew if you can do any show and tell tour around the HQ down in Ft Laud! I was gonna be there yesterday at DnJ with you guys but my wife went into what she thought was early labor and we had to rush to Celebration hospital. Nothing came of it but we were in the hospital 8 hours or something. Thanks for making this video and maybe you can have a subscriber ride along one day where we all get to purchase tickets and get to do an over night somewhere as a fun get together. Keep these coming!
Fantastic video @LewDixAviation. I haven’t yet got my MCC (in fact, I’m only about 3/4 of the way through my PPL) but yourself and the Captain’s teamwork and resource management was a thing to behold. In complete control, managing time, resource, communication and external conditions superbly the whole time. Props to Silver Airways for allowing this recording to happen and be published online as well.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Flying to KLAL from CYRO (Ottawa Canada) for Sun N Fun. Two pilots in a PA28-180. Will be operating with full CRM because videos like this make it obvious as to the risk reduction that it brings. Love to see your professionalism (very different Lewdix from when you're instructing - adaptable persona, kudos).
Just passed my commercial 2 weeks ago and now completing my MEIR. This video made me so giddy and excited for my future as a pilot, what a ridiculously cool job.
Great video @LewDix Aviation. Watching these videos reminds me of how on the ball we have to be as airline pilots, and more importantly how lucky we are to do what we do! Wouldn’t change it for anything in the world! ✈️
Men! This is beautiful! It has been me almost 10 years since I started this journey to becoming an airline pilot. There have been a lot of downs, but I've been claiming to the little ups through my journey. Glory be to God for where I am now! Thanks so much, men, for uploading this particular video! I see the light at the end of the tunnel ✨️ !
Haven't watched your videos since Covid and your transition into bigboy aviation. Still as watchable. I'm sure these videos will become very popular with MSFS releasing the ATR in April.
What an excellent video Lewis! Fantastic Display of CRM between you and your left seat. Has been a pleasure following your journey since your flight instructing days. Excellent briefings! You're going to make a great captain. Now something I was curious about, I noticed during your takeoff roll you looked at Np and Torque and then confirmed T/O is set and the PNF confirmed with 'Check'. Is this typical with the ATR or Silver? We typically have the PNF confirm when both engines mx thrust (N1 in our case) has been set and the PF Confirms this with 'check'
Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to showing you more cool videos as I progress and of course do more instructing. During the takeoff roll the captain has controls until 70 knots (if he is the non flying pilot that leg) and so the FO has those call-outs to make to check takeoff power has been set. Once we hit 70 knots and transfer controls we assume the PF & PM roles.
Great video! Great landing in the ATR. Now about that Cherokee landing…. /a From a fellow CFI, I really enjoy your content. When you’re next in DFW, the pints are on my tab.
Great vid, keep these coming! Your CFI vids motivated me to get my PPL last year, trying to get motivated to finish my IFR rating and who knows maybe fly commercially one day.. Thanks Silver Airways for letting him Vid!
Going through Sim training right now at Silver here in Miami, this pumps me up so much to fly, thanks for the insight! Had a blast following along with the procedures!
I nearly had the opportunity to fly silver in a couple of weeks. I'm going from the FLL area to Tampa, but silver was only offering one flight that day and it was an an inconvenient time, as much as I wanted the chance to fly with Lewis. Plus, it wouldn't take my LEWDIX code for 10% off to give me better prices
Flew Silver Airways earlier this month from Orlando to Ft Lauderdale. Seamless experience and quick flight. Hopefully next time I’ll be headed to Key West.
👏🏾👏🏾Bro, you’re awesome. Thank you for the video and thanks to Silver as well for making it possible. Once again you continue to be a phenomenal brand ambassador for Silver. I see an ATR in my flying future 🤞🏾
Congratulations, I have followed your journey over the years and this looks like a great little airline. Good range of destinations, never too far from home, and even international.
@@LewDixAviation Let me put it this way. On the 600, you have auto speed. On the 500, YOU are the auto speed. Flying the 500 has actually made me understand what the 600 was doing, such as the change of speeds every time you change a flap setting. The toughest transition you’d face is going from the glass cockpit to an EFIS cockpit. I also flew the Dash 8-300 before going on to the ATR, so it was pretty much a refresher moving on to the 500. But all that said, it’s just like the 42-600, just a small downgrade.
Revisiting this video as I’m learning normal procedures for the newly released ATR 42/72-600 in MSFS. Your content is always the perfect blend of fun and professional!
Many thanks to you, your crew member, and the airline for this view inside the cockpit. Extremely professional work. Looking forward to more of the same.
Silver Air, and your left seater should be commended and thanked for allowing this to be recorded and published. It demonstrates how well trained, professional, and proficient their crew is. Bravo! And fun to watch!
Agreed!
Atr 72 pilot here. Nice job ! Great plane. Love the electronic CL on the atr
😊😊 thank you for every safe landing sir, is this the shortest take off commercial plane right now ?
This is amazing. My 4 year old gets excited when the “pink plane” flys over our house going into KMCO. He calls it “My mommy’s plane” which she has flown from KMCO to KEWY and loved it.
Hahaha that’s brilliant!
Yoo KMCO that’s awesome, that’s my nearest airport as well
Extreme degree of professionalism all over, special mention for the incredibly fluid, clear yet very polite communication both on FD and with ATC, Bravo !
Thank you! Michael and I work really well together 🙌🏻
@@LewDixAviation And It shows ! those very short flights come with a strong workload …
I have to admire how professional yet free flowing you and your captains dynamic is
Thanks mate!
Flight deck videos to this quality are sought after, so thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Beautiful CRM. Both of you truly exemplify the professional pilot!
This is very eye-opening! Your commentary alongside the full CRM flow absolutely crushes anything else I've come across. Definitely looking forward to more.
Thank you so much! Looking forward to bringing you more!
The degree of professionalism and communication is wildly impressive. Thanks very much for sharing. Safe travels.
Thank you so much! We are trained well by the company 😁
Very impressive Lew, thanks for posting.
You dont need me to tell you but what an example of excellent airmanship and great CRM, you both seemed to have a professional and positive dynamic. Great service to the industry!
I’m convinced it’s an art. The resource management was like a dance between PF and PM. Great video!
Thank you! CRM is one of my favourite parts of airline flying. Teamwork is essential!
Absolutely thanks to Silver Airways! Great camera positions. Maybe see you and SNF. Cheers!
See you there!
Great teamwork! Real pros!
This video made me really happy. It reminded me of your video when you've just been furloughed. Things seemed dark at that time. I know you're back flying for the airline for some time now, bit still. I'm really happy to see you back in those planes! Have a wonderful time flying!
Yea that was a difficult time. I was a little lost and had to deal with feelings I’d never had to experience in my professional career. But being on the other side it’s an amazing feeling. Thank you so much for your support!
Silver needs a dropdown box for pilot preference😉Thanks for taking us along, love it!
😂
excellent landing with that crosswind truly gifted pilot!
Thank you so much!
What a great video!!!! Even at 51 I would love to get my commercial to fly for a small airline someday!! Thx to the Captain and Silver Air for allowing these to be made!!!!! I fly out of TPA all the time

Happened upon this video after the ATR became available in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and I needed reference material. It’s outstanding !!
Thank you mate!

You’ll love it when you get there! Congratulations on your successes so far!
@@LewDixAviation Thanks heaps 🙌🏼
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to put it together
Ah I appreciate you. Thank you for taking the time to watch it!
Excellent job! I’ve flown Silver as a non-rev. Y’all are awesome!
ATR its amazing! love it!
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
Best recording I’ve seen thus far
Thank you 🙌🏻
One of your best Captain. Nice work, love seeing the crew interaction. Very professional and you can be my wingman anytime.
Much appreciated!
This was so cool to watch. Your explanations of procedures, check lists, etc. was great. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Great video @LewDix Aviation. Watching these videos reminds me of how on the ball we have to be as airline pilots, and more importantly how lucky we are to do what we do! Wouldn’t change it for anything in the world! ✈️
Very well made video, thanks for sharing this honest look into the flight deck
You’re welcome! Glad you like it!
When I come to FL I'm definitely booking with Silver just to fly with ya! haha Great video as always!
Sweet! Thanks 🙌🏻
Amazing video thanks for uploading! The most amazing thing is that the Floridians understand a deepest Lancs accent😊
Men! This is beautiful! It has been me almost 10 years since I started this journey to becoming an airline pilot.

Great video, you are definitely and ambassador for the company!
Thank you!
Sweeeet video Lew, ya'll are a smooth crew
Thanks!
This was an amazing video, thank you for the content. And to Silver for allowing this!
Appreciate it!
Haven't watched your videos since Covid and your transition into bigboy aviation. Still as watchable. I'm sure these videos will become very popular with MSFS releasing the ATR in April.
Thanks! Welcome back 🙌🏻
Really enjoyed riding along (virtually) on this flight. I was riveted from takeoff to touchdown. Cheers
Thank you!
NEED MORE!!!
Butter smoth landing perfect!!
That looks like a brand-new plane!
so cool to watch, hope that I fly an ATR in the near future (I'm just finishing my private). Awesome video!

I have been doing my Type Rating on the ATR600, your video is a real help!
Thank you so much
Gotta love that CRM! Nicely done!
Thanks!
Excellent Lewis! Great CRM! That looks like a great airplane to fly. I like you flew the approach and not had the AP do it.
Thank you! It’s so much fun to fly. I rarely let the autopilot fly the approaches for me. I always like to maintain proficiency!
@@LewDixAviation I need to get to ORL and fly with you! Being a CFI would welcome any critique. Love your videos.
Wow just blown away at the professionalism I just saw. Will be booking a flight with Silver just to experience this!
That’s amazing!
Awesome content, top professionals in the cockpit
Fantastic video - need to book a flight on Silver!!
3:04 - Captain takes swig from flask.
Check!
Welcome to the Sky, Capt Lew.
Awesome landing!
Thanks!
Great video! Great landing in the ATR.
Now about that Cherokee landing…. /a
From a fellow CFI, I really enjoy your content.
When you’re next in DFW, the pints are on my tab.
Haha thanks man!
Great vid, keep these coming! Your CFI vids motivated me to get my PPL last year, trying to get motivated to finish my IFR rating and who knows maybe fly commercially one day.. Thanks Silver Airways for letting him Vid!
That’s great to hear! Glad to be of service haha!
Nicely done. Informative and great to follow.. especially for budding pilots on how routes are to be flown. Excellent CRM.
your video is just awesome. more cockpit videos like these are appreciated
ok, that pretty much tells me all i need to know about starting and flying a ATR. thanks
You're basically type rated now.
Great video, loved the commentary and got to learn a lot ❤️
That's great! Thank you for watching!
Cool video! Love that you can record these.
Going through Sim training right now at Silver here in Miami, this pumps me up so much to fly, thanks for the insight! Had a blast following along with the procedures!
That’s great! Enjoy the sims! See you on the line 🙌🏻
@@LewDixAviation Amidst current news, this didn't age well...
Amazing video, thanks for sharing. The takeoff of the ATR when at low weight is CRAZY. Already at 70 kts at the 1000 ft markers! 🤯
Climbs like a rocket too!
Great video. Serious level of crm too 🎉
What a legend! Such a cool and informative video... especially for the aspiring pilots, keep up the good work man :)
Thanks mate!

Great quality video and lovely aircraft. She really wants to fly when she's empty doesn't she!
Thank you! When she's empty, she's a rocket!
Great content, Lew! Awesome flying skills! One can only hope to one day fly as good as you! Thanks for sharing!
Obrigado mano! Abraço!
Great video ATR amazing 🤩
Flew Silver Airways earlier this month from Orlando to Ft Lauderdale. Seamless experience and quick flight. Hopefully next time I’ll be headed to Key West.
Really solid job operating in the cockpit, hats off and thanks for the time and effort you put into making these videos!
Fabulous! Need a bigger like button!!
Yes! Thanks!
Awesome teamwork and CRM!
👏🏾👏🏾Bro, you’re awesome. Thank you for the video and thanks to Silver as well for making it possible. Once again you continue to be a phenomenal brand ambassador for Silver. I see an ATR in my flying future 🤞🏾
I love seeing Silvers ATR's at San Juan International.
Love this plane. Gonna watch this later cause I want to ask you somethings 😁
Congratulations, I have followed your journey over the years and this looks like a great little airline. Good range of destinations, never too far from home, and even international.
Very nice mate! I miss this aircraft. Now on the 500 after flying the 600 for nearly 6 years. Next time you’re heading to St. Kitts, give me a shout!
I’ve never flown the 500. How is it in comparison?

Nicely done. Takes me back - I flew the ATR24/72 for a couple of years, although not as Gucci as your one!
Nice work you both! ❤
Thank you 🙌🏻
beautiful landing
Great video buddy! Great showcase of CRM and multi crew ops. going to use this video in my lessons where applicable.
excelente video. gracias
What a fantastic and enjoyable video. Great dynamic between you and your captain 👍. Subscribed!

Flawless 🙌
Keep killing it dude. Best aviation YT channel!
