Private Pilot Flying Lesson, Part 1. Engine start, taxi, and takeoff. www.askcaptainscott.com

[@DannyCreech]

I've seen a LOT of different "Teaching" videos on KZbin and I have to say, this is the first one I have recommended to friends. The combination of information, camera angles, and the amazing editing you did by inserting taxi diagrams etc was just fantastic. I have seen a lot of King videos and even met John and Martha and your stuff is even better. Keep up the great work brother.

[@swayjaayy5495]

Absolutely

[@Official.AG24]

2023 here and I totally agree

[@NEK1701]

I agree completely...and Im in the UK... i need an instructor like you very soon ..thanks

[@ciclistas10]

This channel is on my opinion best educational aviation channel on KZbin

[@askcaptainscott]

Man that's a really cool thing to say. I've just started uploading 777 vids after a 12 year hiatus. I'm glad you like the content.

[@EmilyTienne]

You have an easygoing, unpretentious manner. Great instruction.

[@looseparts]

Have to agree - When the day arrives, I hope my CFI is similar to you Captain.

[@alphaecho4189]

Because of this I like to show these videos to people newly introduced to aviation. Without all the technical jargon it really helps inexperienced pilots grasp how simple, safe, and fun flying can be.

[@EmilyTienne]

@@alphaecho4189 Good for you! General aviation is seen by many as difficult and “exclusive.” It shouldn’t be. Anyone with the desire can pick up this wonderful interest. I am proof of that.

I listened for 3 hours so I'm gonna go ahead and make a record of those hours in my log book. flying's not as expensive as I first thought.....

I'm glad you liked them. It sounds like mumbo jumbo when you're first starting out..

[@Mike-ci5lj]

@@askcaptainscott You really do a fantastic job of making it sound less like mumbo jumbo and more like common sense. I'm guessing you had some great trainers before you became one yourself. I've re-watched these several times.

[@shootuppppppp]

@@737simviator I am also looking into getting these licenses in Australia soon. May I ask which flight school you have gotten these prices from. I was originally going to go to UNSW Bachelor of Aviation course which gets you a CPL and an ATPL. They also have a QANTAS Link which enters you to the cadet ship program to receive a job straight after training. Should I go to flight school or the UNSW course.

[@sanelunatic6481]

Simulated Reality hi I have some questions because I will try to get all the qualifications to be a pilot in aus. What ATAR do you need to get? Is it better to go to uni for 1 year or just go to flight school? If I get my qualifications in Australia can I go work in a different country? Thanks

I feel like I’m ready to flying by just listening to him. He’s a good teacher

[@DavidGonzalez-zf1tn]

I have never seen the basics explained so simplistically and so understandable. Sir you are at true instructor and it’s obvious one who has a vast knowledge

[@askcaptainscott]

This video gives you an idea of what you'll learn on your first flying lesson. It is not specific to any one airplane which is why some procedures specific to this airplane have been omitted. It is not meant to replace actual flight training. Hope you enjoy it.

[@JERios-wv8lx]

Hmm, i agree 100% with you....The one thing that caught my attention, and it was really interesting to know (and i haven't seen it in any other aviation videos), is that to turn the plane to the left or to the right you just press the pedals with your feet! Wow, that was like a revelation to me!

[@lw216316]

"the death grip" - never heard that before, that is a good expression to explain the situation

[@bruceandmaryvonnecampbell8388]

Hi Captain Scott, I am a 75 year-old Aussie who took a few flying lessons in a 152 Aerobat 25 years ago before running out of funds to even go solo. Unfortunately, now too sick to even consider lessons, but so enjoy the clear way in which you describe what is going on. I almost feel that I am in the cockpit and taking a lesson with you. Thank you so much. Bruce 👍.
