108. Pilots Daughter Takes Her First Flight Lesson

[@AdventureAir]

Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! If you could help us out to get more reach, could you please like and share this video, and subscribe if you already haven't? Thank you so much!

[@Timothyshannon-fz4jx]

you have the making of a good pilot Kyla, stick at it!!

[@HyphenDude]

Great job, Kyla! Looking forward to lesson 2.

[@brine80]

I have never really watched a video on gyro's, this was pretty enlightening. I would love to own one of these, heli's have their own characteristics and qualities, but the gyro is really forgiving and would be ideal for just cruising locally or sight seeing. Knowing the rotor doesn't need to be under power, and you can float down to land safely if anything ever went wrong with the motor is such a piece of mind. Really great to watch these. Also knowing you can get licensed with minimal amounts of hours is also key.

[@stinger4583]

Outstanding, Kyla. I'm really looking forward to lesson 2.

[@botchi1]

Good Girl. You gona be a great Pilot.

[@grullord]

amazing experience for her. you are a good instructor. I wish I live closer but I am in New York state. I would love to learn to fly a Gyro. I am a student pilot

[@peredavi]

Kylie’s face at takeoff!😬 I remember that!😂

Great vid of the first step to becoming a pilot. That looked easier than learning to drive a manual car with a column shift. Jeremy with a great big proud dad grin.

[@WayneC-y9g]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Jeremy must be proud of Kyla. I have to say I enjoy watching her, she makes me laugh, especially the bloopers. Always good information. Keep it up🛩

[@coulterjb22]

Cant wait to get my sport lic. Next year I'm there!

[@jasonrwilkinson9216]

Great first flight, you did awesome Kyla! Bit cruel to put the bloopers in but fun!

[@AdventureAir]

Don't worry, we got her approval before adding those on. 🤣

[@jasonrwilkinson9216]

@@AdventureAir I knew you would and they were fun! Looking forward to her next flight! Thanks and have a lovely remainder of your weekend.

[@PB-et9my]

Was very enlightening and inspiring to pursue getting the lic and a gyro unit...at least look into with a much more serious consideration.

[@rjoetting7594]

When you asked her if she was remembering everything, I had to laugh a little bit, and then said to myself, "That's why everyone needs to have a preflight checklist, no matter how much experience you have.

[@andreafarinelli2794]

A like from italy. I follow your Channel. Bye!!!

[@AdventureAir]

Thank you!

[@john3Lee]

Always interesting to watch

[@kavitaahuja5285]

❤watching it . Thanks for sharing

[@CellCoachCom]

SUPER-COOL.

[@soloflight75]

I am finding your videos excellent. Do you have any videos on an Amphib?

[@bobbieboothroyd8531]

Well done

[@1conchitaloca]

So very cool! I have a PPL with rotorcraft endorsement (I fly an R44 and R22), what would I need to do to fly a gyro?

[@AdventureAir]

It's just an add on rating like getting a tail wheel endorsement. You have to show proficiency with us and we can sign you off. The training also counts as a biennial. Expect to need about 10 hours to get checked out.

[@1conchitaloca]

@@AdventureAir Awesome! Easy enough ... where are you guys located? CA?

[@1conchitaloca]

@@AdventureAir Awesome! Sounds easy enough... you guys are in CA, right? Any "affiliates" in/near Miami?

[@AdventureAir]

@@1conchitaloca Jimmy McKeown is in that area. Give us a call and we can set it up for you.

[@Bucksturdie]

I would love to take some lessons as it looks so much fun, but watching all these videos I find the most difficult/intimidating part (in theory) seems to be the communication! I can barely make out a word spoken over the radios. Maybe that's an accent thing, though! (I'm Scottish) 😂

[@JohnR-NZ]

Great video and great first flight, I'm watching from here in NZ 🇳🇿 and enjoying it but I don't like my chances of ever getting to doing it here 👍👍🇳🇿

[@WRA838]

You can do it here easy enough. Just cannot insure them so going solo you have to own your own generally.

[@mikecoffee100]

ok helped by subscribing and liking the channel

[@AdventureAir]

Thank you!

[@kris4897]

Nice.

[@danwilloughby4807]

How about a video in a different model of gyro? Do you have access to an Argon? EVO? Thanks! I think it’s getting close to time for me to come see you!

[@jamalrey7066]

Ok, that is so cool. First time I hear that when rotor reaches about 300RPM the front lifts, accelerate and it flies that is very very cool. Why the severe stick shake?

[@robertheywood141]

I wish Gyros were more popular. I would travel down from Northern Utah to get my gyro add-on with you guys but then wouldn't have anything to fly when I get back home :(

[@AdventureAir]

Whitney Holcomb is one of our associate instructors in the SLC area.

[@larry444l3]

Henry....I will be flying out to see you from Ohio soon and take some lessons can you suggest any good places to stay for about a week near you ??

[@AdventureAir]

The Extended Stay America 4325 Corporate Center is a good location. There are many hotels in the area because of the Ontario international airport nearby but this one popped up first for lowest price.

[@n91605]

So it handles turbulence 3X better than a small fixed-wing.. Cool!

[@larry444l3]

love all your videos !!! i am a fixed wing pilot ... i am thinking of buying a gyro .. i am interested in the cavalon and the argon 915GTL .. please give me your opinion on both if you can .. i am 6ft 2 and 185 LBS .. love to hear what you have to say ..

[@AdventureAir]

Well, we are an AutoGyro dealer so we are biased toward them. AutoGyro is the only gyroplane manufacturer that is a USA type certified gyro. We have a good support network for parts and mechanics. Argon is experimental only and they have some challenges getting parts to the USA as their factory is in Poland. The Cavalon flies better IMHO.

[@larry444l3]

thank you for your opinion @@AdventureAir

[@larry444l3]

@@AdventureAir next question as a fixed wing pilot ... average amount of flight time with you for gyro endorcment ??

[@AdventureAir]

@@larry444l3 While we've had students show proficiency in as little as 5 hours of instruction, expect anywhere between 8-12 hours for an add on rating. The checkride also counts for a biennial review.

[@Olrakm]

Green Machine in the background?

[@AdventureAir]

Someone flew it from France to the United States across the Atlantic. It's not registered in the USA so it doesn't get flown.

[@eduardocobian3238]

This girls appear as the pilot's daughter in two videos with DIFFERENT PILOTS.

[@AdventureAir]

You're a good detective!

[@robertperham]

Hey Kyla

[@robertmercer469]

That start at 89000

[@kevinbyrne1677]

Why don't you let her fly

[@AdventureAir]

You didn't watch the whole video.

[@SOLDOZER]

Never hand a first time student the controls on takeoff or landing. They love to find new and interesting ways to kill you both.

[@AdventureAir]

Are you a CFI? I'd like to hear more about your teaching skills.

[@Steve-qn8gn]

What a poorly designed aircraft. Having open and close the door a specific way or you’ll break it?

[@AdventureAir]

The door is built to be lightweight. It's fiberglass and Lexan. People pull on the Lexan and crack it. That's what he's talking about

[@Steve-qn8gn]

@ I get it, but if it’s that fragile and that common to be mistaken and broken it’s not designed well enough.

[@jamesburns2232]

The five variables to Airline Pilot Hiring are: Courtship, Fellowship, Relationship, Kinship, and Marriage. Now throw in the Equal Employment Opportunity Act just so qualified white guys can't get hired before qualified minorities are exhausted. 🥸🧑‍✈👩‍✈👨‍✈

[@AdventureAir]

What does this have to do with the video?

[@nightshift5201]

What?
