Done, This vid was so good for me. You have a great teaching manner and I imagine this will bring on a lot of new aviators. I'm 55 and only flown once, about 20yrs ago in a low wing twin engine aircraft (crazy story). Wish that i'd took lessons after that, if I ever did go for lessons i would hope that my instructor was as plesant and calm as you. Mark. England.
I am an instructor myself and it is refreshing to see you be so patient with BOTH of them. You let her fly so much by herself and it indicates you took the time to explain terms/items before the flight. Teach why not just what, it was enjoyable to watch!
@@fabricemulayome too! I have my intro flight in the morning and I’m so excited I can’t sleep. Not sure how I’d pay for flight school but it’s the dream
I am 68 years old. I've loved airplanes since I was a kid. This is one reason I joined the USAF. Unfortunately I didn't get to obtain my pilot's license. I am unable to get one now due to use of insulin. With that being said, I still enjoy learning the ins and outs of flying. Thank you so much!
"No known traffic" (or anything else ATC says which gives you permission to take-off) means it's YOUR responsibility (as the pilot) to make sure the runway, base & final approach, and the sky above the runway are clear of traffic.
Hi there, I’m only a simulator pilot but what I really liked on the lesson is that you made clear that the airplane can fly itself, and how it reacts at low (stall) speed and recovers itself. That makes the student pilot feel safe, giving confidence and trust in the airplane. I can’t imagine a more important lesson at the beginning! 👍
I bet every flight instructor probably does things a little different, but in the end that day when we taxi off to the ramp and he gets out and your on your own, I learned at a busy airport, with airlines coming in and out. Got to learn radio techniques real quick. I couldn't move the airplane much without calling ground or clearance delivery to file a flight plan.
I would want you as a flight instructor. I've seen a lot of flight training vids and some of the instructors are so impatient and borderline rude. I wouldn't be able to handle an instructor like that. There are a lot of great instructors also, like yourself, who are down to earth, personable and friendly. Thank you for being one of the great ones.
I remember my very first flying lesson! Stapleton airport spring of 1966 and 16 years old with my flight instructor in a 1964 C-150 super excited and attentive. Walk-around inspection, introduction to the instrument panel, radio, start procedure, ground control, and a very long taxi out to runway 17. Runup, mag, and mixture check, call the tower, and a step-by-step procedure monitoring engine rpm, airspeed, and then liftoff. Basic flight maneuvers in the practice area, call approach, and land on runway 26R. An hour and ten-minute flight that seemed like thirty seconds Soloed in seven hours, Private License two weeks after my 17th birthday! Thousands of hours ago...
Very good video. I took 1 flight lesson in a tail dragger at 18 year of age. As I remember, none of the gauges worked, gas gauge was a red rag tied to a wire sticking out of the cowl. To level the flight, you had to level the wings with the horizon. The lesson lasted one hour and I never went back. This is one of my regrets in life. I am now scaring 72 years old. I did get into motorcycles. I have ridden to all lower 48 states on my Harley from Texas. Took 2 trips to get it done.
You are a great instructor. You let her have control of the aircraft most of the time even when she's new. I wish more instructors were like you. Especially when you consider how much it costs to learn to fly...
It’s not just about the cost,it’s the experience which is so important to learn , you don’t just have someone drive a car for you to learn you have to do it yourself same thing other wise crash not knowing how to handle it , no brainer .
I remember seeing her in a past video when she took a discovery flight. Awesome to see she decided to take the lessons, hope she does well, hopefully we'll see her solo.
Watching you teach is delightful. My very first instructor gave me a sour taste of aviation. Constantly yelling at me in the cockpit with no correction or explanation for what I was doing wrong. It only took a few flights with him for me to call it quits and get another instructor. Now that I am currently studying to become a cfi myself, I want to teach the way you do. Flying is such a beautiful experience and I cant wait to share it with those eager to learn the craft. Subscribed!
I'm starting flying lessons at 62 years of age; had one taster session. This is very informative as to what lies ahead of me. I've also watched a video about talking to air traffic control. It all sounds like gobbeldygook but I'm sure I'll learn gradually. Thank you.
I’m 12, but am already considering flight training. I probably won’t become a pilot, but I am very much a plane nerd. I feel like there is always more to learn! So much info, and so many planes. Update: I’m 14 now. I just took my discovery flight and am stating flight training soon. Super fun, I am now very much considering being a pilot as a career and hobby.
I enjoyed how you calmly talked through each move . As a young man years ago I had a few lessons in a V tail Beach in Oceanside Calif. and my instructor while good was not a easy going as you . After watching this I am getting the itch to do this again at 76 years . Thanks .
I like your demeanor when you are instructing your students. You not only show them what to do you explain it. I wish that I would have started lessons many years ago.
I just wanna say your a great teacher, I have always been interested in flying and just now looking into flight school, this video definitely hooked me and showed me how fun and how a good teacher like yourself can make all the flight talk and terms easy to grasp! Thank you!
Excellent teacher. I flew with an instructor and a mechanic at a Cessna dealership and flight school. We were on a test flight in a 172. The instructor let the mechanic fly and try to land the aircraft. Now this was back in 1971. Befor any LCD instrument screens, Wi-Fi, or any of that modern day instrumentation. As we approached the runway to land the mechanic hit the tail hook on the pavement 3 times befor the instructor took over. The instructor never gave any info like you did in this video. I did not know landing was that simple and easy. The plane was landing itself.
This is going to work out super !! The cockpit atmosphere is calm and relaxed and Sienna is flying with her fingertips. I look forward to watching the joy of Learning.
Very nice! I'm sending this to my 16 year old granddaughter who will be taking her first flight lesson this week in a Cessna 172 at Laconia, NH. She can't wait!
Good job! She’s gonna be a fine student and you’ve given her a foundation for a long time flying safely. Thanks for sharing to both of you. As usual I really enjoyed my ride with y’all!
That was great. I took my discovery flight a few weeks ago and realized there's a bit of fear factor in me. I was hesitant to take the controls when I look down below. Hopefully, I will overcome it. The scenery in the video was just awesome !!! Plz, post some more videos.
2.5 hours in to my training, wish I could fly with ya.. I love the temperament .. you’ve broken down the pieces to meaningful digestible chunks. The fact that you’re training videos include a lm actual trainee is very thoughtful and consequently fruitful. Looking forward to more content and hopefully running into you in the future flight plans
What a great video. You’re an awesome instructor and I can tell she’ll be an awesome student and eventually pilot. I soloed when I was 16 and was working towards the PPL when college then life interrupted things. I’ve always kept a passion for flying and as I’m now nearing retirement I’m thinking of trying again as a hobby when I’ll have some free time, so your videos both rekindle that passion and serve as a refresher for what I was taught nearly 50yrs ago. Thx and I’ll be watching all your content!
I hope my CFI is as cool as you. I’m doing a career change at 51. Studying for my written. I have a combination of excitement, fear, uncertainty, doubt, and joy. Your videos are exquisite!
Wow.... I watch ALOT of 'how to fly' videos to help me overcome a slight fear of flying so I can learn to fly myself one day... This is ABSOLUTELY one of the best I've seen HANDS DOWN! Thankyou so much for inspiring me even more to one day take the controls myself. Thumbs WAY WAY WAY UP!
During the stall training, very important to emphasize coordinated flight to minimize spin possibility. You may have covered it but I didn't hear it during the video.
I’m 15 and starting flight lessons every other week, it is really fun and my instructor is great too. I fly in a Bristol (Bristel?) which is not currently rated to fly in the clouds, but is really easy to control and manage the systems/avionics.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing! Your videos are absolutely helpful. Planning to start my flight training by early 2025 and by seeing every details of fundamentals of flight working in action just in front of my eyes, is just unbelievable! Its like I am already feeling the real action of flying. Thank you very much and more power! Safe skies always!
As someone who has not done his discovery flight yet, but is looking for a place to do it, this video was phenomenal to watch!! So informative! You’ve got a new subscriber!
Hello, im a freshman student at usu and in reality I was doubting myself about becoming a pilot. I’ve been studying my senior year of Highschool but I just had a lot of doubt. When I look at this channel I realized that it looks so amazing to learn how to fly a plane and I wanna work hard for it. I learned about how when you make trims that it relieves the control pressure when the altitude has been changed. I want to be a pilot and I’m going to keep watching your videos cause it amazes me how cool it is to fly.
I took some lessons, but I gave up, thinking I would never relax and have the confidence. Seeing this makes me feel the urge again. Best wishes to the student!
I had my discovery flight today and it was beyond awesome. My perspective CFI allowed me to take control and fly begining to end, I'm sure he was involved more than it felt.
Thanks for the instruction...i am just now getting into flying and this was a great video... i will be following the rest. Great instruction. You were very patient and spoke clearly and was funny too!! Glad i watched this video.
I got to experience this for the first time yesterday. My cousin’s husband has been flying plane’s & helicopters for 45 years, from the Army. He bought a very small Cessna, at 6’2” I could barely get in it. But I was invited to go flying, so I went. You were discussing trim, I’m a little confused about that. And I think you & my in-law were using the terminology different. You also didn’t discuss thermal pressure, what the weather & air are doing. As we were flying yesterday, I was doing mainly sight seeing at first. Then I started studying all the dials. And his Garmin computer was set up to show all the radio frequencies, the 10 mile radius on the map at each airport we came across on the route. He also did a flight plan, how long it took, and once he reported his take off, and landing, nobody was looking for us. But you did mention driving with fingers. When I tried to drive, I was manhandling too much. He told me the plane flies itself better than anyone can. So that’s what the trim is for? All in all, the first thing I thought about before boarding the plane, I haven’t done my will yet, we aren’t carrying parachutes. But I had full faith in my pilot’s ability & experience. My concerns were that a lot of the airports aren’t controlled, just give you weather info. But on the Garmin it showed what traffic was in the area. And we didn’t see any other planes as we were in the air. I guess when you’re flying 1000 feet above the ground & below the clouds there may not be traffic much, especially on a Sunday. I actually enjoyed the experience. I’m considering taking flying lessons. But as far as a full commitment to flying, nowadays the planes & insurance for them aren’t affordable. Then you have taxes if you keep them in an in-state hangar. I think of flying like motorcycling; can be addictive and at the same time risky. I’m also wanting to learn how to ride a bike.
Loved watching the first flight/ It helps get rid of the jitters because I'll be starting my first lessons at the beginning of March here in Arkansas. In all the years I've skydived, I always wanted to learn to fly and am now making it a reality. Thanks for the video brother. OooooRah !!
WHAT AN AMAZING demonstration of stalls, slow speed and the stability of the aircraft! That was soooooo good, and i am going to use it for my students when I start instructing!
Love this video! You explained everything as it’s happening. Really helps understanding how the controls work. I’m 67 years old and recently retired and this video makes me want to learn to fly and get my PLL! 👍🏼
Dear AoT, I am a prv pilot with about 500 hrs. This is a great video, it brings back many momories for me. I remember doing T and gos, and stalls power on and power off, turns about a point and many, many others. I used to fly out of Akron Canton Airport and had the time of my life. I sence had a stroke which endded my flying dreams of becoming an Airline Pilot, but I love airplanes and the teachers that train. Thank you kindly for bring back the memories.
Very cool, i am a new pilot in training and thank my friend pilot for his training, it is a great feeling being in control of such machines that defy gravity under your control, enjoying it every moment.
on my first ever flight, my instructor took of, climbed about 3000ft and then gave me controls. Very nice takeoff with smooth and small yoke movements for first time. well done!!
I am 24 years old and I want to have my own plan one day when I retire I am going to be taking a flight school so I can become a pilot just like you one day I just subscribed to your channel. I love you guys as content keep up the great work, hopefully one day I’ll see you in the sky.
I wish my initial training was this good, my first instructor would spend 90% of his time on his phone, 1/3 of the way through my training I switched to a different instructor which really helped, I was learning quicker and to a higher quality. Today I go for my first Solo Flight in a A32 Vixxen!
Hi i am 64 years old and i had a licens when i was younger. I do miss it. And i like this video. Beacuse it brings back memorys from the early days of my flying.
I’m watching you and Ms. through the video, i have zero flight training whatsoever. But i feel like I understand pretty much so far and now I’m interested. You’re a very talent instructor, sir.
I watched your video which relevant to my future because in my spare education I wish someday to fly planes. I am very inspired and motivated from your plane flying lesson video. Thank you for such video has the great opportunity to push me forward.
You are a great teacher showing how the trim can help or hurt and that stall demonstrating builds alot of confidence that the plane wants to fly it doesnt like to stop flying and that stalls are not this aggressive nose snaps down things hit the ceiling event
That was awesome, I'm saving up to start my path towards my CPL license gotta get my RPL and PPL first wish it wasn't so expansive as I want to start already especially after watching this I hope all mentors are like you
I grew up in Alaska and lived in Homer for 10 years! I flew all the time there and would love to get my license some day. I’m so excited to find your channel! Little bit of home and aviation.
Took my first lesson yesterday in a 172 after not being in a small plane in 4 to 5 years. Time to start my own flying adventures! Hope to one day transition to an AA-5 Traveler!
I am just a guy who is passionate about aviation. I watch a lot fo videos about aviation in general, but sometimes i also watch lives or videos where there are explanations of how to fly a plane. I used to watch videos of how to fly a 737 but I really liked this kinda video. You ust earned a new subscriber, thanks for what you do, because not everyone does this for free and for everyone!
Love this video!! I always thought about taking a compact course to get my PPL... on the back of reading Learning To Fly In 21 Days, by Phil Stone... this being in Florida, or somewhere with enough of a constant weather pattern, so I could get my licence asap! Still, at a young 61, I am going to obtain my PPL some time! 😁 Steve, London, UK
I enjoyed your first lesson I bet she had a blast I think you're a wonderful instructor I'm looking to buy myself a plane also get my private pilot's license
Well, I’m not a “Master Instructor” but I can see why you are. In one flight, you taught her: how to start the airplane, taxi, attitudes and movements, straight and level, climbs, descents, coordinated turns, slow flight, stalls, how the trim works and she did the takeoff and landing all while there was a passenger onboard… I say 2-3 more flights and she’s ready for flight test! Like I said, I’m not a “Master Instructor”; I’m just a Class 1 instructor here in Canada. I teach commercial pilots how to become instructors! BTW, the sole purpose of the trim is to relieve the pressure off of the controls and yes, it is possible to set the trim by feel only.
Hey Aviators! Thanks for tuning in. Make sure to hit the like button, subscribe, and ring the notification bell.
Done, This vid was so good for me. You have a great teaching manner and I imagine this will bring on a lot of new aviators. I'm 55 and only flown once, about 20yrs ago in a low wing twin engine aircraft (crazy story). Wish that i'd took lessons after that, if I ever did go for lessons i would hope that my instructor was as plesant and calm as you. Mark. England.
Minor issue but I thought shut down would be in the reverse order of start up. Avionics and electrical off then mixture, mags and last master switch.
Are you in Homer Alaska? I'm moving there soon. I'm licensed but would love to do some Alaska flying. Thanks Steve
Great video this helped a ton
I've seen a 747 pilot in real live
I am an instructor myself and it is refreshing to see you be so patient with BOTH of them. You let her fly so much by herself and it indicates you took the time to explain terms/items before the flight. Teach why not just what, it was enjoyable to watch!

Have you considered training to fly an ultralight? No pilot license required. No medical required per Part 103.
Paraplane or ultralight?
You can still fly
To my knowledge, Ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft do not require a medical to fly
You could get a pc, microsoft flight sim, and a yoke and throttle quadrant and fly without a license
I need a 24 hour loop of this guy yelling CLEAR
Could make a text message ring tone of him yelling “CLeAr!!!” 😂
Read this comment before watching the video. It wasnt long before the confusion became clear
make it my notifcantion ringtone
Confident young lady and a calm instructor very enjoying to watch and learn.
"No known traffic" (or anything else ATC says which gives you permission to take-off) means it's YOUR responsibility (as the pilot) to make sure the runway, base & final approach, and the sky above the runway are clear of traffic.

Great lesson in teaching the student to feel what the flight controls are doing without relying on instruments.

Great instruction! Teaching the why and how is the mark of a great flight instructor
This is awesome Chris! You are a model of what a good teacher is!
I like the idea of doing the final trim adjustment by looking at the horizon with hands off. Great Video
This video is so informative. Getting my PPC is something I have wanted to do for years. Totally doable, even for a 67 year old retiree!
I am 68 and doing the same
Only doable if you have the time and money. Too many of us wait our whole lives until we retire to be able to do this because of the cost.
Excellent video Brother. Love your calm, peaceful demeanor. Awesome instructor. Thank you!
What a great attitude from the student, and great instruction / confidence-building from the teacher!
Just started ground school. I liked learning about how much you use trim, even during landing. Appreciate the video!
Thanks for the instruction...i am just now getting into flying and this was a great video... i will be following the rest. Great instruction. You were very patient and spoke clearly and was funny too!! Glad i watched this video.
I got to experience this for the first time yesterday. My cousin’s husband has been flying plane’s & helicopters for 45 years, from the Army. He bought a very small Cessna, at 6’2” I could barely get in it. But I was invited to go flying, so I went.
You were discussing trim, I’m a little confused about that. And I think you & my in-law were using the terminology different. You also didn’t discuss thermal pressure, what the weather & air are doing. As we were flying yesterday, I was doing mainly sight seeing at first. Then I started studying all the dials. And his Garmin computer was set up to show all the radio frequencies, the 10 mile radius on the map at each airport we came across on the route. He also did a flight plan, how long it took, and once he reported his take off, and landing, nobody was looking for us. But you did mention driving with fingers. When I tried to drive, I was manhandling too much. He told me the plane flies itself better than anyone can. So that’s what the trim is for?
All in all, the first thing I thought about before boarding the plane, I haven’t done my will yet, we aren’t carrying parachutes. But I had full faith in my pilot’s ability & experience. My concerns were that a lot of the airports aren’t controlled, just give you weather info. But on the Garmin it showed what traffic was in the area. And we didn’t see any other planes as we were in the air. I guess when you’re flying 1000 feet above the ground & below the clouds there may not be traffic much, especially on a Sunday.
I actually enjoyed the experience. I’m considering taking flying lessons. But as far as a full commitment to flying, nowadays the planes & insurance for them aren’t affordable. Then you have taxes if you keep them in an in-state hangar. I think of flying like motorcycling; can be addictive and at the same time risky. I’m also wanting to learn how to ride a bike.
Loved watching the first flight/ It helps get rid of the jitters because I'll be starting my first lessons at the beginning of March here in Arkansas. In all the years I've skydived, I always wanted to learn to fly and am now making it a reality. Thanks for the video brother. OooooRah !!
I’m getting my CFI here soon and love going through all the CFI youtuber videos learning how they teach maneuvers.
Boom!
same
WHAT AN AMAZING demonstration of stalls, slow speed and the stability of the aircraft! That was soooooo good, and i am going to use it for my students when I start instructing!
I absolutely guffawed at “CLEAR!”
Love this video! You explained everything as it’s happening. Really helps understanding how the controls work. I’m 67 years old and recently retired and this video makes me want to learn to fly and get my PLL! 👍🏼
Dear AoT, I am a prv pilot with about 500 hrs. This is a great video, it brings back many momories for me. I remember doing T and gos, and stalls power on and power off, turns about a point and many, many others. I used to fly out of Akron Canton Airport and had the time of my life. I sence had a stroke which endded my flying dreams of becoming an Airline Pilot, but I love airplanes and the teachers that train. Thank you kindly for bring back the memories.
Very cool, i am a new pilot in training and thank my friend pilot for his training, it is a great feeling being in control of such machines that defy gravity under your control, enjoying it every moment.
on my first ever flight, my instructor took of, climbed about 3000ft and then gave me controls. Very nice takeoff with smooth and small yoke movements for first time. well done!!
Love videos like this. Working on CFI currently and this is what I watch in my free time
Love the videos, I have my CFI checkride in a week, it’s good to see teaching from another perspective
I'm not a pilot but fly MSFS 2020, these video's and your explantions of things have really improved my simulator flying. Thanks
One of the best instructional videos of flight training I have ever seen. Great Job!!!
I am 24 years old and I want to have my own plan one day when I retire I am going to be taking a flight school so I can become a pilot just like you one day I just subscribed to your channel. I love you guys as content keep up the great work, hopefully one day I’ll see you in the sky.
I wish my initial training was this good, my first instructor would spend 90% of his time on his phone, 1/3 of the way through my training I switched to a different instructor which really helped, I was learning quicker and to a higher quality. Today I go for my first Solo Flight in a A32 Vixxen!
Hi i am 64 years old and i had a licens when i was younger. I do miss it. And i like this video. Beacuse it brings back memorys from the early days of my flying.
Enjoyed the flight video as I am in the process of getting started on earning my private pilot certification in Tennessee. You are a great instructor!
Thank you so much. As someone who is working to become a pilot, I find videos like this fascinating. Loved it
I’m watching you and Ms. through the video, i have zero flight training whatsoever. But i feel like I understand pretty much so far and now I’m interested. You’re a very talent instructor, sir.
My wife enjoys being an active participant in the cockpit so she is learning the basics of handling an airplane. This video was super helpful!
Happy to hear!
I took my discovery flight 5 months ago,I love airplane ✈️. You are a good instructor god bless you.
I watched your video which relevant to my future because in my spare education I wish someday to fly planes.
I am very inspired and motivated from your plane flying lesson video.
Thank you for such video has the great opportunity to push me forward.
You are a great teacher showing how the trim can help or hurt and that stall demonstrating builds alot of confidence that the plane wants to fly it doesnt like to stop flying and that stalls are not this aggressive nose snaps down things hit the ceiling event
Great video! I especially loved the clip from the GEICO commercial. I laughed out loud at that as that is one of my all time favorites!!!!!!
Classic
That "CLEAR" was straight from the heart
I have my discovery flight tomorrow. This was great. Super excited to fly.
That was awesome, I'm saving up to start my path towards my CPL license gotta get my RPL and PPL first wish it wasn't so expansive as I want to start already especially after watching this I hope all mentors are like you
I grew up in Alaska and lived in Homer for 10 years! I flew all the time there and would love to get my license some day. I’m so excited to find your channel! Little bit of home and aviation.
Took my first lesson yesterday in a 172 after not being in a small plane in 4 to 5 years. Time to start my own flying adventures! Hope to one day transition to an AA-5 Traveler!
I am just a guy who is passionate about aviation. I watch a lot fo videos about aviation in general, but sometimes i also watch lives or videos where there are explanations of how to fly a plane. I used to watch videos of how to fly a 737 but I really liked this kinda video. You ust earned a new subscriber, thanks for what you do, because not everyone does this for free and for everyone!
Such a brilliant flight instructor.I've learnt lots yet I have no background in it nor in science. Thanks a lot for sharing. ❤
Love this video!! I always thought about taking a compact course to get my PPL... on the back of reading Learning To Fly In 21 Days, by Phil Stone... this being in Florida, or somewhere with enough of a constant weather pattern, so I could get my licence asap! Still, at a young 61, I am going to obtain my PPL some time! 😁 Steve, London, UK
This is SO fun to watch!! (and super educational!)
Liked how you explained about the trim. Really simply but accurately wow.
I enjoyed your first lesson I bet she had a blast I think you're a wonderful instructor I'm looking to buy myself a plane also get my private pilot's license
Awesome job. You are a natural instructor. The young lady was very comfortable and confident.
Well, I’m not a “Master Instructor” but I can see why you are. In one flight, you taught her: how to start the airplane, taxi, attitudes and movements, straight and level, climbs, descents, coordinated turns, slow flight, stalls, how the trim works and she did the takeoff and landing all while there was a passenger onboard… I say 2-3 more flights and she’s ready for flight test! Like I said, I’m not a “Master Instructor”; I’m just a Class 1 instructor here in Canada. I teach commercial pilots how to become instructors! BTW, the sole purpose of the trim is to relieve the pressure off of the controls and yes, it is possible to set the trim by feel only.
THAT WAS AWESOME. i'M Learning to fly and I was impressed and informed about using the trim to land. I had no idea. Thank you
