Man I forgot how much I missed this series. The communications in the cockpit alone is showing how much confidence you've developed. Great job @flyingsic. Can't wait for your first landing in the Baron.
Not seen you fly for a bit, so a big step forward is my impression, much more PIC aura which gives you time to listen to the coaching. A tip for Autopilot use is that i always hit the heading bug to synch it before actually hitting the AP button, then reset the direction, in case it is way off to start with. Likewise once i am on a GPS course and flying straight…..as AP will often say “hey, turn left 30 degrees for traffic…..” that way i can hit the HDG button, and then smoothly dial in my change of direction….or on approach, the heading bug becomes a plan B or a go around tool if something happens to the approach/gps at the wrong moment. Great job, you kinda “have this”
Massive improvement in Kims' confidence. Big step with the big CC. That's where you start to learn to be a pilot. Looking forward to the Solo CC! Keep up the awesome work!!!
The only thing I hate about these videos is that there's so LONG between them! At least it was a nice long half hour of great Kim flying! When you cracked the line about calling ahead to arrange the chaos with the controllers ahead of time, I literally laughed out loud!
Happy Thanksgiving to you folks. Don't know when this was, but you flew close to where I live and my home airport. Looking forward to more video's and when you get that check ride.
Great job Kim! It's so much fun to see your skills and confidence build through this journey. Thank you both so much for putting these videos together for us all to enjoy.
Welcome to the area. Did my solo at Ashland Regional and first cross county solo to Parkersburg. Safe flying and look forward to seeing you get your license
Okay, having watched the rest of the video…. It’s clear Kim has been practicing ALL facets of flight…. I feel like a proud CFI and I’ve done nothing. Kim, you went from nerves-> badass in a matter of a couple months.
your instructor needs the boot. treating your mistakes like they don't matter is dangerous..... but i guess youll find out when you go for your checkride😂
Kim, As controversial as Dan Gryder is, I cannot but agree with him with when he advises more “Chat”, like “… Is there any one else in the pattern?” It really lets you know if you’re alone up there or to prepare to change your finals for someone else ahead of you. As I say, he is controversial, but her makes a lot of sense. Think on it, speak to Chris…. Been missing the Baron!
Idk what Dan does or doesn’t say, we actually make callouts like that all the time. Ironically, we actually get chastised for making those type of calls all the time. The videos are edited for time so all radio calls aren’t included.😂
When you where on your approach, you where not centered and that is one of the reason why you landed left of centerline. Also, seemed like it was yawing ( rudders) back and fourth on approach.
Seems like I fly a different bird each time. I always look at the placard when I call out the tail number or I will say the incorrect tail. Also, If I fly a Cessna and than a Piper. I have switched the names up a bit.
Serious question...I've been a ham radio operator since 2000 and have been in fire/ems since 2004, so I have plenty of "on air" time when it comes to radios...why on earth does ATC have to talk so fast?! It's no wonder these young/new pilots get their headings and freqs mixed up. Geesh
Well, well well. It's been quite a while since we hear from u guys. I was already wondering, should I pick one of th latest videos and post a coment asking if Kim was no longer putting that 172 to its paces? O did BP stop flying the amazing Bonanza? Well, thank god no. Good winds and happy landings to you guys (instructor includeded) from Portugal 👍. Oh and by the way, happy 🎅 everybody.
Kim happy Thanksgiving to you and your husband 💕 💗 I hope you had a nice day today. And you got this airplane flying. You made that my Day Out of wait for you to miracle with the tower and pass the flight instructor I guess you're doing it for a long time since I since you started this. You and your husband I think it is your husband. I hope everything goes good for you. R husband or your quite hurt and I hope he is that happy too. It's a feature. I enjoy watching you find airplanes. And doing good, I'm glad to see that you're caught your real in the tower and doing pretty good. I'm glad it came back on the internet. Just keep the faith, keep the fat and kind. 55 safe via safe. You're a good woman and good lady.❤🎉 Ram a Smith.❤❤
Hello, I'm Charles Nike Watching from Florida Jacksonville USA. I'm sorry if I may appear intrusive I just want to let you know I didn't know this kind of beauty 😍 still exist, What's your name and where are you watching from?
This far along (x-country) ...why is the instructor coaching on pitch attitude and flaps retraction after take-off? He needs to let her think for herself.
Kim Kim, I see your engagement rate. You guys are your boyfriend. You're the lucky guy. I didn't have you graduations. Issues. I hope I hope you have a good wedding. And have a happy life for hi. Am you know him a lot longer. So ask him, where are you must be in love. With you are you must be in love for him. That's good, but I'm glad you have somebody. Yes, you could love cherish the rest of your life graduation. Tell your future husband. There graduation to you to have a good woman like you. He is lucky he's a lucky man that I've ever owned like you. I knew you probably had hope you would probably have a good heart for him. Friend just be happy I would like to see if be happy and you're doing good. Flying the airplane you're doing a fantastic care. When you start at your all nervous and crying and everything else you're more calmer, you're nursing it. You're concentrate on what you're doing at when you're flying. You're gonna be a good airplane flyer. Just keep at it. Don't give up on it, keep. Don't hurt what you want to do. Enjoy it, God bless you, we are Smith.❤❤😊😊

I can't get over how far Kim has come and how confident she now is! Great work Kim, and Matt is an awesome instructor!
Man I forgot how much I missed this series. The communications in the cockpit alone is showing how much confidence you've developed. Great job @flyingsic. Can't wait for your first landing in the Baron.
Kim is doing great. She's relaxed and has gotten confident in her skills. Great work, Kim.
Hat's off to you as well Matt for helping Kim stay confident through each situation and comfortable through all the nerves.

Good job Kim, following your journey has been amazing.
Great job, Kim! Your comfort in the air really shows through in this flight. Remember to stay ahead of the flight!😇
It’s excellent to see a new pilot relaxing into her skills.
Massive improvement in Kims' confidence. Big step with the big CC. That's where you start to learn to be a pilot. Looking forward to the Solo CC! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Kim it's obvious your a whole lot more confident, that's fantastic, you will learn so much faster, congrats.
The only thing I hate about these videos is that there's so LONG between them! At least it was a nice long half hour of great Kim flying! When you cracked the line about calling ahead to arrange the chaos with the controllers ahead of time, I literally laughed out loud!
😂😂
Ashland is a really cool approach coming over the river. Flew in there for the first time back in June.
Happy Thanksgiving to you folks. Don't know when this was, but you flew close to where I live and my home airport. Looking forward to more video's and when you get that check ride.
Kim I'm so happy for you.
😊 Kim your getting better each episode. Congratulations. ❤
Great job Kim! It's so much fun to see your skills and confidence build through this journey. Thank you both so much for putting these videos together for us all to enjoy.
I love the changes in you, Kim!
OMG…. Kim has some serious right rudder control!!!! That centerline, am I right?!?!
Keep it going, Kim and Matt!
Another great video. I know this doesn’t need repeating, but you’re doing SO well. 😊
84 knots, rotate...
12:04 Oh, that is a freaking cool runway!
You are really showing more confidence and skills. Keep learning and training. You'll be PIC in no time.
Welcome to the area. Did my solo at Ashland Regional and first cross county solo to Parkersburg. Safe flying and look forward to seeing you get your license
Loved the 75W ATC call!
Ok? Put on foggles on at 5:56 then 6:38 back in sunnies? Would have Loved to see you fly those 12 miles!!!!! Miss the videos!!!!! Want more!!!!!
2:20
Love the split screen!
Great to have you back. I almost unsubscribed because you had been gone so long or am I just missing you so much!
Great radio work, pretty landings!
Another fun video thanks for sharing
Woo Hoo! You're back. I was getting withdrawal symptoms. Great flying! 👍
Great job Kim and great video! I am definitely inspired to get started!😎
Happy Thanksgiving to Baron Pilot and SIC Kim!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Nice job!
Kim. Is getting. So much more confident in what she is. Doing
She training. For IFR. now.
She is doing. Good. 😊
Good job Kim

Good job!
Kim,
As controversial as Dan Gryder is, I cannot but agree with him with when he advises more “Chat”, like “… Is there any one else in the pattern?” It really lets you know if you’re alone up there or to prepare to change your finals for someone else ahead of you.
As I say, he is controversial, but her makes a lot of sense. Think on it, speak to Chris….
Been missing the Baron!
Idk what Dan does or doesn’t say, we actually make callouts like that all the time. Ironically, we actually get chastised for making those type of calls all the time. The videos are edited for time so all radio calls aren’t included.😂
Agreed.
Great job happy thanksgiving
When you where on your approach, you where not centered and that is one of the reason why you landed left of centerline. Also, seemed like it was yawing ( rudders) back and fourth on approach.
I really enjoy these updates. It's been so long I'm assuming that she's about finished up?
Half the time we can not even get flight following with SoCal approach.
wow, lucky you. can't believe your instructor lets you use the autopilot. not allowed up here in canada.
The tail number is demented on this aircraft. Keeps getting mixed up. Ha Ha
Keep it up !!!!! Got my “hard card” in the mail on Tuesday… gonna get up in the air with an RV friend today after we eat and exceed gross weight ! 😂😂😂
Congrats!🎉 have fun today!
way to go KIM, so when are you going to take over flying the Bearn
Have a great Thanksgiving 🦃
Seems like I fly a different bird each time. I always look at the placard when I call out the tail number or I will say the incorrect tail. Also, If I fly a Cessna and than a Piper. I have switched the names up a bit.
Everyone is confused by callsigns! From 75W to 68V
After her and Stryker both are able to fly they can join the Peace Corps.
Serious question...I've been a ham radio operator since 2000 and have been in fire/ems since 2004, so I have plenty of "on air" time when it comes to radios...why on earth does ATC have to talk so fast?! It's no wonder these young/new pilots get their headings and freqs mixed up. Geesh
I was thinking the same; soon as reception isn’t crystal clear it gets exponentially more difficult to understand them.
Well, well well. It's been quite a while since we hear from u guys. I was already wondering, should I pick one of th latest videos and post a coment asking if Kim was no longer putting that 172 to its paces? O did BP stop flying the amazing Bonanza? Well, thank god no. Good winds and happy landings to you guys (instructor includeded) from Portugal 👍. Oh and by the way, happy 🎅 everybody.
13:45 why is ur mixture leaned????
Oh, airports did you start from and end up????
Isn't 3000 an IFR altitude?
VFR altitudes apply above 3000ft agl
There is that bad Cincinnati approach radio again.....
Weather permitting, just keep flying every day , it will be like riding a bike.
Kim happy Thanksgiving to you and your husband 💕 💗 I hope you had a nice day today. And you got this airplane flying. You made that my Day Out of wait for you to miracle with the tower and pass the flight instructor I guess you're doing it for a long time since I since you started this.

It's a conspiracy to try to confuse you, Kim. They know the right number, just want to play with you.
SIC or PIC? Stay tuned.
Hey! If I can talk mush-mouth to ATC, they can do the same back to me :-D

Why all the chitchat while taxiing? Bad practice.
Kim Kim, I see your engagement rate. You guys are your boyfriend. You're the lucky guy. I didn't have you graduations.
