    I got my private pilots license in 1975. Back then you had to demonstrate spin recovery for your private pilot's license. So I was taught how to do spins and how to recover from spins.

      @Larry Ehrlich. I got my private in 1970 and spins had been removed from the requirements by then. Why did you need to do them?

    Great interview with Kevin. I became a pilot because the place I worked at offered tuition reimbursement, while working as jet engine mechanic. Then each time I did a Flight Review, I added a new rating. Still in aviation as an aircraft engine Quality Engineer and most recently started creating my own videos showing the different things you can do as a pilot. New to this whole UA-cam world. Thanks for sharing. The sky’s unlimited, if you get out there.

    I got really lucky in that way too. I hung out with my instructors as a new commercial pilot single engine CFII and was along for the ride when we actually lost an engine for real on a C310. They went through the flow procedure and radio work while I took the emergency checklist to back them up. That is an amazing way to learn! Yes, it was an uneventful RTB in IMC with fog. The engine failed above blueline shortly after departure so we could hold altitude at a reduced power setting after losing the critical.

    I was a line service foreman at Beechcraft in Indy back in the 70's. Working at this FBO was a great way to learn to fly for free. I went on so many flights with pilots I knew. Every time someone said , "Hey Jim taking the Citation up for a spin I was there. Enjoyed flying the multi- engine planes the most.

    Thank you Kevin. Brought back fond memories of my early flight training. Got my complicated endorsement, instruments, went to work for a company that pushed and paid for my multi rating, and did fly a 310 during some twin training, went to turbos but no jets although I've been privileged to fly right seat in numerous jets. Thank you again Kevin for sharing. Fly safe.

    Never knew 310 was an ATC guy, nice one. Thanks for the great vid, I’m in the UK 🇬🇧. Always loved aviation since I was a kid, had models everywhere. Did crap at school, joined the Army at 17, then went on to being a JTAC with the Paras. 16 airborne brigade. 216 Signal Squadron. So basically jumped out of planes n used a radio to bring in trade, aircraft to targets n talk them on. Trying to explain it basically. Or do a show of force etc. Out now n watching LOADS of aviation channels as I’m starting to get my PPL, received a flying lesson as a bday present n I loved it. Thanks again for keeping aviation alive all across the globe 🌎

    I started in aviation on a fluke, was laid off and applied to be a casual deicer...a few seasons later I became the manager of the entire deicing program. I talked to the GM at the airport and said I would love to know all about doing this job, he took me under his wing ( no pun intended lol ) and taught me everything he knew. I'm not a pilot but the knowledge he gave me helped me when the company shut its doors. We had a saying " if your in aviation and dont like it, youl never come back, if you love it, youl stay in it forever " I've worked for a few private companies and a few commercial companies, as well as a heliport. I've meet many famous people and so many kind people who just like to talk aviation. I'd love to go for a spin with you Kevin if it's ever possible let me know.

Congrads to you and of course your biggest supporter your wife ! lol It's so nice to hear how you did it and maybe help others do the same. Keep up the great work you do and keep them videos coming , we so look forward to your adventures . :P

    Getting involved with aviation, in my opinion betters our ability to make decisions in other realms of life. Physics, communication, math, budgeting, planning, risk management, geography, meteorlogy, professionalism, safety, good judgement and respect for others are among the elements contantly in play for aviators. Kevin is a good role model all round.

    Great interview. Big fan of Kevin. Quick ground school story. I took a weekend ground class. Full day Saturday and Sunday test was Monday. I was concerned about the length of the classes. The instructor kept us glued to our seats soaking up information for every minute! Hope the name rings a bell, E Allen Englehardt. Airline pilot and on the board at Chicago Executive. Passed away about three years ago. Great guy great teacher. Never forgot his name and took his class back in the ‘70’s.

  • @mytech6779
    @mytech6779 5 років тому +1

    I would agree, going part 61 can take out a lot of the stress and pressure that is enhanced by the more rigid structure of part 141, especially if you are on a take it as you go "plan".
    Part 141 is really setup more for a college type of environment, folks focused on a profession or degree in aviation. Though using a 141 syllabus in your 61 training can add some structure and prevent skipping over skills.
    In theory 141 can save some training hours but in practice it rarely saves any and can even require more flight time if you have more than 130 hours total time at the start of commercial training. The real advantages of 141 are A) structure to the training: more FAA oversight of curriculum, a less haphazard sequence, both ground and flight lessons. B) For those with a career focus: when combined with an FAA approved college degree the restricted-ATP certificate can get you into the co-pilot seat of an airline several hundred flight hours sooner. (B does not apply to your private cert, only instrument rating and commercial cert need to be 141 for the r-ATP)

    @bootsbrigade73r 5 років тому +5

    Great video. Jon, I pointed my wife your way for her PPL ground school, and it's helped out a lot. I've also been watching Kevin's videos for quite some time. Both of you guys have some solid points about the airline career. I've been flying for airlines for 27 years, and it definitely takes a mindset to be gone all the time. It's got a lot of positives, but it's certainly not perfect by any means. It took me almost 15 years at the regionals before getting hired at a major, now 13.5 years after that, things are still not the "sit back and just enjoy your fat wallet" that people believed when I was in college. I'm not bashing it, but you both pointed out, it takes the right mindset to do it and stick with it.
    Truth be told, since I got back into general aviation, flying the Pilots N Paws flights I do, I'd much rather do that than go fly an Airbus from L.A. to N.Y. It's much more fun, and satisfying, to help the animals we have, flying in our Baron. After almost 25 years in the industry I'd lost my passion for flying, it was just a job. Starting back into g.a. rekindled that, made me interested in airplanes again, and eventually pointed me at both of your youtube channels. Very cool to see you together. Derek H.

As a former private pilot, I had to give up my love of aviation for lack of money. Now, at 70 years old, my dream is gone forever.

It’s just I’ve heard that they have scrubbed doing the actual exercises now & would like to know if this is the case. Finally is there a minimum amount of hours u need to get you’re multi, IMC & get you’re CFI. Thanks for any advice. Cheers mates.

    Hi, stopped flying in Y2K, to expensive for me. After HS66, I was in the Marines 67-70 Vietnam Experience, then College A.A. Business & Computers, also learned to fly in the early 70's at a Piper Flight Center, was a Mainframe Computer Systems Analyst/Programmer 25 years. Rented single engine Pipers, bought a used 79 Piper Archer and then a 82 Piper Tomahawk II. Watch out for the Group Thinkers, they are after jobs and property, in Y2K I was drugged, refused to go down, got an EMT ride to the hospital E.R, my property damaged. I had to take an early retirement. Now 72 miss flying, gives me something to think about... Hold your ground...
