Ella's FIRST LANDING | Why We Use Rudder In A Stall

Picture this: You're early in your PPL training and you've just started taming the controls of the aircraft. It's finally becoming stable and then your instructor forces you to do some stalls. It's not an easy task, certainly when adding a lot of rudder control into the mix. Well this is Ella's task today. We've all done some ugly stalls before, but that's why your instructor is there not only to keep you safe and show you the right way, but to encourage you when you need it.
Enjoy the flight!

I like the way she keeps calm and focused as she learns. She’s not someone who gets flustered.

[@LewDixAviation]

She’s definitely focused on being the best she can be

[@nickm764]

She's handling it well at that stage, she's going to make a great pilot, doesn't hurt she's got an great instructor 👍

[@LewDixAviation]

Appreciate it mate!

[@mad85123]

It’s my goal to be a cfi like you sir. Awesome video!

[@LewDixAviation]

Ah thank you!

[@jazzyj6122]

Dude! That was one of your best videos! She did sooo good! But the instructor actually instructed and she learned. That’s how’s it’s supposed to be done!! Both of you did great!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you!

[@brennenfitzgerald]

13:53 NICE!!!!! Situational awareness. That sort of awareness has saved lives. It’s amazing she caught that.

[@LewDixAviation]

That’s my student 🥹

[@markor2476]

Every time I watch one of these with a pretty green student you continue to impress me how positive and encouraging you are with them. Teaching one on one is such a complicated matter, I really wonder how I'll do once I get there.

[@Acc0rd79]

Not now wind!!! We've all been there :)

[@gveduccio]

great way to handle the situation...once again showing how your personality keeps the students positive

[@gveduccio]

and the 'if you fck up you fck up it is what it is" was a great way to give her confidence over the mic fright

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you sir!

[@Unknown18426]

I love watching new students learn this stuff they're lucky enough to have a great environment to learn in that you provide.

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you man!

[@flyinglizard777]

1st landing...great feeling!

[@bodebailey5890]

The best feeling is your first landing!! Love you boss keep it up🤘🏻

[@kephrenizzard]

As someone who is at a very similar stage of training, I can relate to almost every moment in this one! Keep up the great Ella! And Lew, great working on the teaching moments! How you delivery the message and the desired learning outcome is first class!

[@andrewkennedy3]

Great video! When I was a student, I had the same confusion about the ball not being in the cage. I learned that staring at the ball during a power on stall is useless. Now I keep my eyes outside and judge the movement of the nose against either clouds in the distance, or the ground off the edge of the dash. It's the best way to get visual real-time information about yaw during the maneuver.

[@david_corns]

She has such a great attitude to the lesson, and your laid-back approach is superb!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you!

[@david_corns]

​@@LewDixAviation My pleasure. I would love to be taught by you.

[@stephanemetellus4261]

Working on my cfi now and struggling a lot with landings on the Cessna 172 all my training is been on piper archer this man is a gem like your way to teach 😂making the flight a pleasurable experience

[@LewDixAviation]

The 172 is so bad compared to PA28 😂 You’ll get there! Glad you like my style 🙌🏻

[@stephanemetellus4261]

Thnx a lot

[@jokeeffe007]

This brings back so many memories of my early training. Well done to the student and teacher!!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Glad to bring those memories back!

[@codyjaybditw]

She’s doing really good. Keep it up Ella!

[@fsodn]

9:43 That's awesome! I wish the yahoos who fly cross-country in their cubs at pattern altitude discussing their weekend with their buddies had 1/4 the radio discipline as the radio transmission she just gave. Well done!

[@watercreator]

Great job! Love the amount of encouragement. Makes the money spent learning worth it.

[@jon4739]

Dude.... You have a gift. Teaching is tough and particularly flying. I notice you approach it with positive encouragement and meticulous redundant reinforcement. Really enjoyed the video :)

[@LewDixAviation]

I appreciate that!

[@jon4739]

I am in the middle of my PPL so not a lot of street cred but letting her go ahead and stall it into an "almost spin" was great. I teach medical students and Residents. They learn the most when they almost mess up.@@LewDixAviation

[@Glyrez]

Great video, Lewis! Masterful instruction. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@pilotrachael]

Great informative video, Lewis! 👍🏻

[@capt.patrick4059]

Great job!

[@SteelTallon]

The joys of a student. Good job!

[@jameswadsley3165]

Excellent instructional video, love to see your enthusiasm and your constant positive reinforcement for the student!

[@MatthewMiller716]

Aviate, navigate, communicate! Awesome job and amazing instruction Lew

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks man!

[@WorldOkayestPilot]

So proud of you Ella!! Always pushing through!!

[@LewDixAviation]

💪🏻

[@lndrvrus]

Great job! Really happy to see these kinds of videos going on right now as I'm working my way through my training. Also, received the 172S checklist today. Quality is spot on!

[@LewDixAviation]

Nice! Glad you like it! Use it well!

[@JonnyKlausmeyer]

You are the best CFI in America, if not the world. Also, Ella is already a great pilot!

[@LewDixAviation]

That’s very kind of you to say!

[@craig221081]

Much better landing than mine Last Friday (01.05.24) 😂😂😂😂

[@alexmarino6781]

Hey Lew! Great video as always! Quick question, where are you instructing out of? Im a new CFI in the central Florida area with a prospective student and just looking around for a club or school that works with independent CFIs, thanks again!

[@joem.7307]

🙌🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@JasonBeem]

Lew makes me want to take flying lessons, and I"m scared of flying .

[@LewDixAviation]

Haha that’s a huge compliment!

[@Th3Butcher76]

Two cuties in one plane😉😂 Another great video mate🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jj4829]

weird bro

[@jonathanrusse357]

Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you need to write every time you get an weather report?

[@LewDixAviation]

Don’t apologise.. it’s a great question. You want to write everything down that you think is important. Winds, visibility, clouds, temperature/dewpoint, altimeter setting, runway in use and any notams that they announce on there 🙌🏻 EFB’s have specific scratchpads for the ATIS with sections for you to write everything in. Makes it simple.

[@harrisongould9460]

She's available I bet...oh my.

[@deltamikepilot]

[@joseluisramos1071]

What's her flight hours?

[@gcomm7536]

Do you still work for silver airways?

[@LewDixAviation]

Nope

[@gcomm7536]

@@LewDixAviation what happened with silver airways? I didn’t see an explanation video

[@av8or971]

From what i saw, elle was a far too timid with the controls. That should improve with experience.

[@scottschwirian7526]

Great video I live about an hour from Orlando. Any chance of doing a discovery flight with you? It would be a dream of mine!!!!!
