👋 About Me 👋
After a successful business career where I've started and sold a number of companies, I've decided to get out from behind my computer to pursue a lifelong passion and start career 2.0 as a professional pilot. My goal is to get to 1500 hours and then either work for a large regional, a major, or possibly even cargo. You can learn more at www.FlyWithTrent.com.

Great timing, I have to say you are a thorough instructor.
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching one of my videos! I really appreciate you taking a moment to comment!
I've been a licensed private pilot now for over 26 years. When I learned those steep turns in an older Cessna, it was a attitude indicator...much tougher. You're right, more important to look outside and keep that horizon at the same location along your windshield view.

The biggest issue I had was getting uncoordinated on initial roll in. That nose down from the compensation would trip me up and start oscilating through the turn. "Dutch roll" practice helped me work through this. Thanks Trent!

Just started steep turns. Thanks for another video.
You’re welcome!
you make it look so easy. Hopefully I can get all that down as easy when I start my career 2.0 this summer. Thank you !!

Steep turns are my least favorite maneuver right now. It’s so many things to scan through and just a little lapse in attention can get you outside standards really quick it seems like. I appreciate these tips.
Is there a review video coming for your thoughts on the Remos GX? Looks like a really fun aircraft but I don’t know anybody who has one. Im interested to hear your thoughts on pros or cons.
Might do that at some point. Thanks so much for watching one of my videos! I really appreciate you taking a moment to comment!
Nice looking plane , now I need some more practice on those turns this week.😀

Thanks, will do!
It makes me so happy watching these videos! Thanks Trent!

Thanks Trent! I really like your training videos. :)
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching one of my videos! I really appreciate you taking a moment to comment!
Great video! Is the DPE looking at 100ft difference between the start and end altitudes or do they expect you to stay within that 200 ft window throughout the entire maneuver?
They expect you to stay within the tolerances that are explained in the airman certification standards.
Very nice and precise video, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the video very useful should make more videos like this
More to come!
Another great video Trent!
Thanks for the content..

nice.

We have an artificial horizon in our Cessna's attitude indicator. I reckon same 'meatball principle' applies?
Yes, as long as there is not too much latency in that instrument.
As I was doing steep turn on my flight review my instructor said I wasn’t coordinate. I enjoyed this video. But I notice the ball was always outside the window. The ACS says it has to be coordinated. What am I missing? What is a DPE looking for as far as coordinated? Thanks in advance. Love your videos.
@@toddjohnson9528 Centered ball is correct.
Yours was the first video I found. Since then I found others and the ball was slipping or sliding. The only video I found perfect was on a simulator. Strange. Thanks for the quick reply and all you do for aviation.
@ happy to help. Normally I do steep turns in a 172. With enough trim, you can take your hands and feet off the controls and the ball stays centered and the plane just flies perfect steep turns. The plane in this video is a lightsport and it’s pretty unstable compared to a 172.
What kind of sunglasses are you wearing ?

@ Thank you so much for your reply 👍😊
I’m doing it next week with the DPE. It’s my weakest maneuver.
Thanks so much for watching one of my videos! I really appreciate you taking a moment to comment!
The flying eyes sunglasses. If you know…you know!

Great explanations, but the demonstration was lacking a bit. You talked about using rudder and maintaining coordination but that ball was pegged outside the cage the whole time and completely uncoordinated.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. It all helps my channel to grow and help more guys/gals like us!!
