The story of icarus apply to pilots alot eh, fly to high toward the sun and you will lose your wing and die 💀💀

now we really know why airline are so strict with weight because it center of lift and those airplane plane are massive so imagine that weight.

Thank you so much for all you do. Your videos are the difference between me pushing forward and giving up!

Nice video format, very nice instruction! Cheers from France

so impressive,fun to learn!Thanks a lot my teacher🤩

Is there an app that helps you train your brain to pick out key words and repeat back. I just started tower operations and I struggle to repeat back the right thing.

At 35:00 I didn't understand how to get the magnetic heading. How do I read that line you doted?

i do not understand why nobody seems to think you need to be able to fly the airplane with precision in ground effect just above the runway to do good landings with the aircraft under total control. so use aileron to hold the centerline, opposite rudder to counteract the aileron input, and a combination of pitch and power to hold the aircraft in a level attitude in ground effect just above the runway. once you can do this good landings follow because now you have learned how to use your right hand on the throttle for a whole new dimension of control that most pilots don't learn for years if ever. now you can put the airplane on the ground under complete control in challenging winds and xwinds. how would you ever expect to put the plane on the ground under control if you can't keep it over the centerline with the longitudinal axis aligned with the runway?

Why did the FAA pick 6 6 6! 🤣

Just a suggestion, if you are having trouble with Radio Calls, you and your instructor can call each other cell phone and practice that way.

Apologies for jumping the gun on the first video I saw. I’m glad I came back bc the last 5 or 6 videos I’ve seen have been very informative. 0 crash jokes but 100% useful and helpful knowledge! Thank you!

Listening to your ground school playlist on my long drives across the Midwest. 9 years in b2b sales, married two kids. I need to start flight lessons

@Freepilottraining Where did you find the winds aloft chart???

13:05, it's sort of like when you drive with a car's manual clutch part way in! not that you should do that. I used to do that to start up hills in 2nd gear lol

Question, what if I wanted to work with the airline to just deliver cargo?

You HAVE to use pitch for speed and power for altitude. Otherwise, when you have an engine failure you will DIE. If you teach a student to maintain speed with power, and they lose power, they will not automatically know how to avoid stall-spin. Geddit?

Excellent video Josh. Its crazy to see all the taxiways and runway completely covered in snow. Definitely a whole new world for flying compared to here. It sure looked like a beautiful day for flying. I hope you and your family are doing well. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friend 🇺🇸🛩️

5:03 so if I hover in a heli 12 hours I'd get to the other side of the world?

So Cool

Fantastic mate! Are you showing any other lessons with your trainee? I'm currently doing Aeronautical Radio Operator Course here in Australia with @ausflight and could understand the radio equipment and procedures on your lesson here much better! Greetings from Gold Coast/Tweed Heads Australia and thanks again! 🤙🛩️🏄🌴🌅

That reminds me of how my second lesson went.

1:56 or yellow on black, that’s where you’re at.

Great Instructor!

Thanks!

Rain will never be the same again! Thank you and your stellar sense of humour, this is officially my fave video lesson! 😎👍

I typically enjoy your videos but do you really think this is appropriate for a students 2nd lesson

I have a question. I had a student who was hours from finishing his private. He got very stressed at his job and went on antidepressants. He was cleared once, but the whole 2ed time your out. He did have a medical, but now be will not be able to get his medical. Would be be able to finish his private with a basic med. I think he would because he did have a medical and it was not revoked.

You should make a video with an actual altimeter to better illustrate what you mean about adjusting it properly. Im not really understanding why the altimeter would read zero.

Top Notch Traing! Thanks! You are helping pilots be safer and better trained! I'm all thumbs so you get 10!

Watching this is good refamiliarization to help me be less anxious about returning to flying, it's been 10 years!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This course is great to watch after reading Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, and Airplane Flying Handbook. I felt it really helped to make the information more clear and usable. I would recommend moving the videos about medical and license types ahead in the order. Also the video about runway signs and layout sooner (it would help add context throughout the series). Thank you again, I really appreciate you making meaningful content available to everyone.

Pretty sure i came up with a great way to remember and understand skids and slips with zero thinking necessary. When you think skids, think tokyo drift (if you like fast and furious) or just think of cars drifting. And then slips is just the opposite. For slips think of a toy boat going down a drain hole butt end first. Its rotating around a fixed point but the nose is facing away from the turn and the but is going towards it. But i think slips dont have to be explain too much when you know its the opposite orientation to a skid

My training place doesnt have ground schol so this will be very helpful.

11:50-13:36 you’re an awesome CFI, I wish I had a CFI had instructions like yours.

It is wrong

good to see you up here, thanks for all your help, got my ppl checkride this month. Theres cheap rentals at the aero club on base if thats your thing.

Great episode

Are you still in alaska? I train at Merrill and love to take a pic with you if you’re still here

Amazing scenery!

Have my first lesson tomorrow! These videos are very helpful!

Birds are high wing..... God doesn't make mistakes

Great videos. All of them are. I'm watching every single one from oldest to newest - i have a lot to go! It's great seeing so much local-to-me charts (from Stillwater, Ok)! Looking forward to acquiring my PPL!

excellent

Thanks sir,watching from Vancouver 🇨🇦

Love the full length videos man!

Nice job!

Thanks
