I trained hazard tree fallers for years and always told them your most import skill is knowing when to walk away. Your ego will kill you. Stay humble and professional. Taking risks is stupid.

Congratulations Trent! I’ve been following your page for the last year and you have been one of the biggest inspirations for my decision to pursue my childhood dream as a pilot! Keep it up! Hopefully I’ll bump into you at one of the major airports! 👍

Great video, im going through your playlist and hope to find one of these for each license. Thank you

Congratulations!! You have worked tirelessly for this!!!!

You look really happy Trent. I’m happy for you

First time watching. That was very helpful.

Very helpful for someone who's new to flyt sims.

When I completed this I landed on runway 27 and passed. I believe there is a bug in the ATC telling you to land on runway 24.

I honestly do not think u understand how helpful this video is, the information given on a tutorial level is nothing short of amazing, I watch this at least 3 times a day, can't thank you enough. Also I have been playing mfs24 for about 2weeks now my landing was detrimental to everyone lool, after coming across your channel my landing is absolutely superb...you actually explain everything to the point where the task at hand becomes super easy and simple, I could only imagine the joy, confidence and discipline your students receive from your training, you are a true testament to your craft, it definitely shows. Thank for the videos pal

Great video ... must be, for here I am, at 4:30 am, coffee in hand, just glued to my tablet screen. Your calm, easy manner reminds me of a favorite CFI I had (probably before you were born). I gave up flying years ago, and just recently put away my simming gear, thinking I had just gotten bored with it all. This definitely has made me reconsider. Thanks.

That is awesome.

Thank you for this video, Trent

This is great to see you thank you.... Been around aviation on my younger life on 48 now. I have about 130 hours from when I was younger but never got my private..... I went through so many flight instructors I would just get my 90 day endorsement and just fly around. Now that I'm older I'm getting back into it to get my ratings. Great to see this video...wow...

Great video.🎉

Thanks, Trent. I appreciate it.

Congratulations

Good for you Trent!!

Hello Trent! Im very interested in flying planes and I want to apply for studies... which airport did you start studying on? Meanwhile Im bingeatching your videos to get a sense on how it really looks like becoming a pilot. Greetings!

Yet another steller video full of important valuable information. Thanks so much

Congrats..

"You can add your first notch of flaps at below 110kt." Well, I wish MSFS 2024 knew that because I've gotten a few hits to aviator performance for adding the first notch of flaps "too early."

7:00 This game is incredibly buggy at the moment, I find it hard to enjoy it.

Congratulations Trent!

Current FA with SkyWest and going after my pilots license! The ERJ is my favorite aircraft!!

My only concern with strictly relying on 3 strikes is that in my humble opinion, not all strikes are created equally. I understand this list is yours, however I can see where I’d have a 2 strike rule based on some combinations. I guess as long as you’ve thought through it, who am I to question? It’s good to have systems.

I have used Sheppard air but I just self studied for private. By far my worst test score. I’m going to start telling my students to use gold seal.

Hey man, great video. could you do one on the autopilot settings? the left and right knobs are killing me and I keep making it worse.

Thanks for explanation. I have a question thaugh. As explained in the video. The "wing down stall" there is this theory that aileron would increase drage to stall even more. On the other hand wing with flaps on has a lower stall speed, that would to me look like flaps ( in this case ailerons) would help prevent stall? So I just can´t wrap my hand around this. Thank You for answering.

I’m 15 min in and im liking and subscribing. Your cadence of instruction as well as speaking clearly makes all the difference in learning and retaining for beginners. I can’t waiting to give this a go and looking forward to similar instructions.

Good job

Good video, unfortunately u left the approach plate on screen when showing how to do certain things

This was awesome.

Sent to my son and grandson!

I think that you're forgetting a few fees. You didn't add on insurance for solo fights for PPL, which the school doesn't cover. Also when you finish your instrument and go to commercial, there is going to be a gap before you can get into that rating at 250 hours. We'll say that most people on average will have 100 hours after acquiring both PPL & Instrument rating. That's 150 hour gap. Most schools in Atlanta have cheapest $160/wet, not including insurance. Everyone's experience is definitely gonna vary..

So tell me why is it so hard for the atc software to say three instead of tree?

What flight yoke, throttle and rudder are best?

Very useful, thank you.

this is a comment for the trolls you mentioned: "there are no old - bold - pilots." "arrive alive" should be the mantra of every pilot. as you point out -- people who are (or who fly with) these trolls are taking a risk. sooner or later, bad decisions catch up with you.

Awesome!!! so excited for you!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

I have a year left in high school and I am in the Boise area. But i will only have just turned 16 when I graduate, you said you must be 17 to have your private pilots licence, so my question is do I wait and save up money until I am 17 and then go to a flight school? Or is there a better route that you recommend? Also, are there opportunities for scholarships/grants in the aviation world?

I was stressing that I’m not learning enough, or I’ve hit a plateau where I’m not learning anymore. Looking at the ACS, I was going through it like “oh, I know that.” I was shocked that I knew 85 percent of the ACS off the top of my head, and maybe some noggin searching lol. Three weeks? It’s absolutely doable if you have the time and dedication.

I wanted to do this for the sake of I sold my first plane but I don’t want to lose my money and have to buy all those certificates again

Awesome video.

There has got to be a bug with this training module. I have tried hand flying, NAV mode AP and heading mode AP. I seem to always get around a 30 % on fly to VOR. *I think I finally figured out how to get an A. Once you intercept the VOR, hit the CDI soft key, to change from VOR 1 to VOR 2. Then I was told, "Wow, great job." Subsequently, I got an A.

I did the same thing. Started with the tour company and bought the plane…made some money then started a cargo company, then found out I couldn’t buy a 172, so had to sell the plane in the tour company then could buy the 172 for the cargo company. Now making over $100,000 per flight. Working for a Caravan.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I do not play on simulators yet but I just want to thank you for being awesome and being part of my inspiration trent, 😁 I hope maybe one day we cross paths so I can say hi.
