    I wish every CFI, or at least every reputable flight school, would place cameras all over the plane like this and video every lesson so that you can see what you did wrong, what did right, and everything in between. And seeing from the outside of the plane what changes to the controls do to the planes. Even if it's nothing posted, just to have a record would be awesome.

    Not finished watching it yet, but just had to pause and comment. This brings me back to when I started flying. Fish out of water. Love it. FANTASTIC IDEA.

    Been an anxious flier lately so I started watching flight videos to calm the nerves. Stumbled upon your channel and have watched tons of your videos. Not only do I feel better about flying after watching your videos, I’m itching to become a student pilot and buy my own piper someday. Thanks, Lew!!

    • @LewDixAviation
      @LewDixAviation  2 роки тому +2

      That’s so cool man! Anxiety is normal as you’re learning and certainly before you get behind the controls. Schedule yourself a discovery flight to see how it goes!

      No, but I can say that my spirit dropped when I went into the new frontier with the hopes of flying a jet. Blue skies were what I wanted to be flying in, but I decided to venture back to the south west to reassess. This isn’t a psa, but there is a silver lining to my story.
