Commercial Cross Country Flight| Oral Questions??

You've never met Corey before but he's not only a top guy but a great pilot too! In this flight we knock out the 100NM VFR day cross country requirement for his commercial license, and I ask him a few questions along the way.
Enjoy the flight!

Great video! I honestly think it wouldn’t make that much of a difference if the videos were 1080p. Unless people specifically request 4K, I wouldn’t bother.

[@realrussclarke]

DylanHK I agree!

[@rajpatel4672]

I love watching your videos. You are the main reason I want to become a pilot. Keep up the good work.

[@LewDixAviation]

So cool man, I’m glad I can be a source of inspiration for you! Thanks!

[@christiandarbyshire]

You're a legendary instructor. Keep it up!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks mate!

[@xAviatior]

your videos always cheer me up :) they always have a happy energy

[@LewDixAviation]

Your comments always cheer me up too! We have a symbiotic relationship going on here haha

[@xAviatior]

@@LewDixAviation Haha we sure do

[@LWhaples]

Thanks for the content, Lewis! Achieved my PPL in a Warrior yesterday. Thanks for helping me get through my student life.

[@LewDixAviation]

Excellent news! I’m taking all the credit! Haha! Congratulations my friend!

[@JJM2222]

ooooooofff, you're an instructor!? haha! had me rolling on this one man. Thanks for the videos!

[@LewDixAviation]

Hahah no worries brother!

[@scenicskies3848]

I've only been fortunate enough to fly into Venice once but man what a view! Love the videos. Keep the awesome content coming!

[@rn2811]

3 hour IFR oral that’s nuts mine was around 2 (which is typical) and 1.5 in the air. Going to start commercial soon but working on a seaplane rating.

[@abbieamavi]

For me oral exam was about 2.5 hrs, with a short bathroom break, and flight was also 2.7

[@nathanmcguire932]

2.7 Flight for instrument rating? Where the hell do you fly out of? Mine was 1.4

[@abbieamavi]

@@nathanmcguire932 the 172 I fly is non-WAAS, so we had to fly a bit out to get an ILS since I couldn’t shoot an LPV.

[@Acc0rd79]

So that's what Venice looks like? lol Kevin had me do my first night cross country to Venice and back and all I saw was black and a few lights as I got into the pattern and came in over the Gulf! lol

[@alandumond6012]

I keep coming back to these videos because they are the best! Please keep up the great work

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks Alan!

[@brandonwarner8669]

Love your content man! Keeps me motivated to continue with my flight training. Keep it up!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks brother! Glad I can be a source of motivation for you!

[@charlesfarrenholz7737]

Thank you for such great videos. I have always thought about learning to fly. Since I've been an avid watcher of your videos, I definitely want to do it now!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you for watching man! Glad I can an inspiration!

[@deeanna8448]

When you said you were going to the West Coast, at first I thought you were going to California 😂 I thought "damn, he's serious about cross country!"

[@Anthrax.GS91]

I was seriously waiting to see Corey eat a banana....Harambe1

[@nlandman1]

2.7k was perfectly acceptable

[@xistrik3rix]

I wouldn't have done it that way!

[@jonb6226]

I'm a year late on this one, but what the fuck, there's a guy who writes thank you messages to Jesus in the sky? :D Mate, you need to go flying with this guy. That'd be a great video.

[@mikeyswingsacrossthesky2244]

It was no less entertaining for being in 2.7k. I guess it is not in your dna Pleased Bolton have survived a dying shame for Bury!

[@realrussclarke]

Made my day Lew after dealing with a very difficult student

[@LewDixAviation]

We all have those days man! Glad I could be a source of calm!

[@thegeek3348]

Did you get to ferry a plane due to Dorian and get that sweet per diem? :D I'm ready for Florida to cool down.

[@LewDixAviation]

I did indeed! Up to Huntsville Alabama overnight!

[@kodachrome9319]

I wish my CFI was as cool as you.

[@Northpole47]

Great lively videos. Let me know how to get in touch for PPL?

[@mudturkey00]

I started my private license training about 3 weeks ago and am about to solo here in about a week in the DA- 20. In your opinion is this a pretty good and easy plane to get your private in.

[@LewDixAviation]

I love the DA-20! Such a fun plane to fly. I’d say it’s fine to get your ppl in it.

[@billpotterbladepitchfilms2716]

What would be the advantage of getting a commercial rating before an IFR rating? I didn't know you could skip over IFR.

[@LewDixAviation]

You could in theory start making money sooner, but remember that without in instrument rating you can't take passengers beyond 50nm or fly them at night. You're restricted to VFR obviously which causes a lot of flight planning issues if visibility or clouds are low. I'd suggest getting the instrument rating first then commercial. You have to build the 250 hours for commercial anyway, why not get your instrument rating in those hours!

[@stewartcarmichael5240]

Great content as always!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I wouldn’t have done it that way ... 😏

[@LewDixAviation]

ATP????

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

LewDix Aviation I’ve got 4,400 hours ... ... on Flight Simulator 98.

[@LewDixAviation]

Zero Three Delta the hours don’t count if you crash and have to reload back at the original airport mate.. So how many hours do you really have?

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

LewDix Aviation 12 😩

[@dehumbertman]

You two need to do more videos together

[@darthmoomoo]

What camera mount do you use inside the cabin ?

[@unclefreddy2009]

Why a special issuance?

[@HotRodKush]

Holy crap it's your identical twin with a different accent!

[@LewDixAviation]

Don’t be rude, you’re giving Corey a downgrade!

[@homertalk]

Cheers Mate!

[@likes-yv3lj]

What does it take to become a FO at silver?

[@scottwillson5562]

second class is 24 months over 40 5 years under 40. great vid.

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks mate! I encourage you to read this: www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/app_process/general/validity/ That will clear up that the 2nd class portion is only valid for 12 months

[@CaptainSuarez]

Is he AirForceProud95? His voice sounds so familiar.

[@LewDixAviation]

We aren't on a simulator so I'd have to say no ;)

[@CaptainSuarez]

LewDix Aviation Good one ☝️

[@joshuahubbard5936]

Do you still fly for Silver?

[@LewDixAviation]

I do

[@eletrickill]

Love the vids! Working on my ppl How do you get great cockpit audio? I record mine with Audio in cable to gopro7, but the audio only projects to one speaker when played?

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks mate! I don't get the audio from the GoPro. I use an external audio recorder. I feel like the sound is better. That is how I have done it since I started the channel, funnily enough with the exact same audio recorder haha.

[@eletrickill]

@@LewDixAviation thanks for that lew! I'll look into that. Keep the vids coming. I watch them all and learn alot.

[@100alexsouth]

I'll call you out on this, you never returned my text 😂

[@LewDixAviation]

Yea but that’s just because I don’t like you very much...... did you ever think about that? 😲

[@100alexsouth]

@@LewDixAviation dang that's cold haha. I guess you have no interest in flying a Lance then??

[@LewDixAviation]

Alex Zenni Now lets not be too hasty

[@100alexsouth]

@@LewDixAviation when are you going to be back in orlando? If soon grab some people and lets go to lunch or somethen

[@hangfire5005]

He said his medical is what?

[@evanvance6629]

Thanks for your videos. Entertaining and instructive. Thank you. I do have a question though. I am currently in the process of getting my private and after my instrument. I am not necessarily interested in flying for an airlines or really get paid for that matter, but I am planning on flying for my business that I own to see clients around the nation. Is there any benefit of getting my commercial if I am not necessarily planning on getting paid to take passengers places?

[@LewDixAviation]

Hey man. I’m glad you enjoy my videos! So, if you are flying yourself around to see clients there is not much need for a commercial certificate. If you are going to fly clients around and charge for it then you would need to get your commercial. But it sounds like you’re not going to do that.

[@steven3479]

Depending on your ride a good question for your insurance agent.

[@djVanRyan]

LewDix Aviation what if the costs were being covered by his company? Then it he’d need a commercial.

[@LewDixAviation]

Van Ryan absolutely.

[@Mamassein]

How much cost for one hour flight?

[@JakeTishman]

Mamassein Hosseini 1 million dollars

Yep.. back to 4K for the next one

[@taolodambe]

You should consider doing one subscriber shout out per video Well obviously I'm talking about me 😂❤️ Good video as always ♠️❤️

[@JakeTishman]

The music is too exciting. I want more of an elevator jazz vibe if that’s not asking too much?

The first part of your last name is literally the sound a crash cymbal makes... Death metal for the next video!
