Great review. That price is reasonable given the intricate training involved. Definitely worth the price of admission. It is also beneficial to purchase a Cessna 172 and obtain your flight time in your own plane.

Hi If I use a Cessna 150/152 to get my PPL, will it be cheaper?
@theeverydaypilot2 ай бұрын
Yea I would say so. All depends on the course you take. I was part 61 and flew in 172s. My buddy did a fast 2 week course in a 152 and he payed more. You sometimes pay for the convenience of an accelerated course

It must vary from Flight School to Flight School... My home airpark didn't have a fuel truck or employees to refuel so I learned how to fuel up from the very 1st lesson. If there were a line of planes behind us at the pump my CFI would help out but most of the time he just watched and chatted while I did it. Also something to note @3:19 it's better to hold the nozzle vertically and hold the weight yourself... While waiting for my Checkride to start the Airport Manager showed me a C172's fuel tank destroyed ($6000) because students kept putting the nozzle in at an angle and resting the weight on the fuel tanks, the torque eventually causing a weld to fail.

Very informative video. Thank you. I am in engineering and I fly all the time to different projects. I had looked into getting a private pilot's license as well as a hobby. But I will be honest with you. Being 6'-5" and heavier set, general aviation aircraft frighten me to no end. Plus I'm 53 now. So I have just two quick questions. 1. How often are these G.A. aircraft checked out? Engines, airframes, etc. 2. Once you get your license, what next? What are the steps to becoming a commercial airline pilot?
@theeverydaypilot9 ай бұрын
1. The engine/airframe/avionics are checked every 100 hours when you use flight school planes. This is known as a 100hr inspection. They are also subject to annual inspections once a year. All inspections are completed by A&P and IA mechanics. 2. Usually, after private, many (to include myself) go on to instrument rating, then commercial. Each rating is a stepping stone to get hired but nothing is required after PPL if you plan to fly for fun.

Love your videos. How do you like the 2-33 vs the K-13?
@theeverydaypilot10 ай бұрын
It might be cause the 2-33 is new to me but I find it more fun to fly. The pitch control is more sensitive than the K-13. I do prefer the visibility of the k-13 over the 2-33 but im really liking the 2-33.

The CASH you paid the DPE was pretty much how they all operate. More than one DPE has had a check blocked by a sore loser who failed the check ride, one of those people who is sure that all of their failures are someone else’s fault. If someone fails a checkride, if they’re honest with themselves, they must concede that the DPE probably saved their lives.

See, this is the kind of stuff I should NOT be watching. I'm 50 and the thought of getting my pilot's license has never left even if life didn't cooperate. Now It seems too late but I still watch videos like this. Very informative!

If you have the funds to do it, do it. I got my license at 28 after being in the aviation maintenance world for nearly 10 years. Had one opportunity to fly the planes I maintain and the rest is history. It's expensive but done right, could make it cheaper. When it comes to personal development, it's the BEST thing I've ever pursued.

Sure glad I got my PPL for $1100 ($7600 today) in 1973. Guess I got a pretty good deal. Solo 5.1 hours 3 months, 39.4 at check ride hours, at AGS. Got the commercial 2 years later. That was mostly worked out doing avionics contracts with the fbo.

Why preform a low 180 turn when there are good fields straight or 90 degrees from the gliderport/airport? Why not just perform an outlanding just outside your start point, or is 200 feet the calculated "ok turn back" for your location so they don't simulate rope break any lower? Just curious.
@theeverydaypilot Жыл бұрын
Good questions! Which way you turn above 200ft ib a glider is up to the pilot but it is taught that above 200ft AGL, a glider can safely 180 back to the runway. If you simulate a rope break below 200ft AGL, you won't have that safety net to 180 back. Below 200ft, you would land straight ahead or 45 degrees off departure. 200ft, 180 in a glider was surprisingly easy and I found myself having to deploy the spoilers to actually slow down to land. Different story with a powered plane

Beautify countryside for soaring! Thanks for sharing your transition to gliders! As you know the whole focus on airplane training is to go from point A to point B. In gliders, it’s to be safe while having FUN! You’re discovering why a glider is a whole different category of aircraft and not just an airplane without an engine as even gliders with engines are not airplanes. 6:50 keep that yaw string in the middle. Looked like you had a tendency to skid the turn there and it’s very important not to do that. Learning to fly a glider well, will make you a better airplane pilot too. Best of luck and safe soaring!
