It's great when I get to fly with my former student, Carlos. He wanted to step into the world of high performance aircraft and I was happy to help him.
The trick when stepping up to high performance is to be ahead of everything. Things happen quicker and you need to make sure you are ready.
Carlos did a great job as you see in the video and hopefully we see him again in the future.
Enjoy the flight!

[@Kenriko]

Banana for scale.

[@brysonfields7249]

I like how Lewis just casually starts peeling a banana as they turn final, and is eating it while they touch down.

[@LewDixAviation]

When hunger strikes!

[@InstrumentPilotBartram]

This should be the visual queue when he is with a Student Pilot that they're ready to go solo he starts eating.

[@elik1491]

Every time a student is ready to solo you gotta start eating a banana in the pattern to show you don’t need to say anything 😂

[@mxyzptlyk]

My instructor was telling me about his 'heavy night' on the beer just before he pretended to be asleep on finals on my flight prior to my first solo. I knew that he didn't drink but I went with it. It went great, my first solo was something I'll never forget and we joked about it later. On another note, I wish I'd had the guy in this video when I did my C182 check ride in Texas. I would have been much more relaxed, like flying with a friend. Where is he from? I'm from the North West of England and our accents are similar?

[@fhelsper]

Again, a great video. I just finished my PPL here in The Netherlands, but I still learn so much from your video's. Keep them coming!

[@owengao1119]

You were in airline? Good choice to come back to teach in flight school, since you were in airline , u widened your eyes, and u will teach better than others who never went to airline. Good for u

[@mr.martintorres5804]

Carlos is one fine pilot. You taught him well!

[@1dullgeek]

Traffic opposite base...looking... in sight... pulls out a banana - and that's the point I lost it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@LewDixAviation]

hahahaha

[@knoxflier5171]

I love the 182 also! Nicely equipped one too, nice flying. Was flying my family in my ol’ 182 today for a short trip.

[@md4droid]

I can't believe I just heard You say "I want to fly this thing more!" .... A Cessna? :D Love it! Amazing video as always, Lewis. Almost got my first solo today, but I blew it, lol. Better luck on my next lesson!!!

[@1006V]

Always enjoy your videos. Excellent!

[@LewDixAviation]

Ah that’s great!

[@ranbirsingh7666]

Really enjoyed this video, especially the shots of the Lakes etc... FL is beautiful with lakes dotted everywhere🛫🛬🛫🛬 😎😎

[@xxriotboy360]

Lewis, just wanted to say I love your videos and content. I’ve recently started my PPL (15 hours), being able to follow your students journeys has been awesome! Keep up the great content you’re a bang up instructor and great creator. Best,

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you so much for that mate!

[@nikoaa3012]

Love the Palmeiras kit. Also love your videos man!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you!

[@rodolfocastro3222]

Great video as usual. And you always with the coolest sunglasses!

[@LewDixAviation]

Haha thanks man

[@seriousthinking3088]

NICE !!!

[@davidbridegan2302]

Did all my training in a 182q, and it does drop like a rock. Once you figure it out the landings become much easier and smoother. Ours is 260hp and power on stalls turn the plane into a rocket, good times!!

[@fartherfasterhigher6157]

Nice video, as always, Lew! What was that song playing on the takeoff roll out of KORL?

[@redmondson27]

I remember my first flight in a C182. Big difference with a constant speed propeller. Needed that high performance rating though! Now for ASES (Sea plane)

[@Mattymoneyboy276]

Just waiting for the next "Mike's first solo in a 182!!" video😂 awesome vid Lewis! ❤️

[@Karfix]

Dude I love ❤️ your Jersey!!! I’m a Palmeiras fan. Born in São Paulo Brasil 🇧🇷. Made my day. 🤙

[@EricEsser]

This was super helpful. I’m transitioning to a 182rg right now from a 172.

[@curryblackwell1769]

Great video on HP training…when you are talking AS, are you always talking in knots or would you clarify knots or mph ?…thx & love the videos.

[@rafaeldoria]

Another cool video, man! Always like the choice of music too... Jazz is the best! Only criticism: change that Palmeiras shirt for a Grêmio one, man! :-) É nóis!

[@LewDixAviation]

haha E nois mano!

[@jameswadsley3165]

Loved this video. Would love to see a video about how the blue knob affects speed, RPM, how it works, etc...

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks man! Simply put, you set the desired RPM and the blades change pitch in order to maintain that RPM. It used engine oil routed to the prop hub in order to increase pitch and then oil is released from the hub to decrease pitch for High RPM.. It's quite simple but difficult to show in a video

[@farmgene]

Nice video!

[@JoaoPedro-nw5cl]

Palmeiras shirt. Hells yeah love it. Brazil represent!

[@Kenriko]

I just got my HP endorsement in a C182 today!

[@LewDixAviation]

Nice!

[@MyWTFName]

High performance floater!!

[@liquidintegrity]

She is flying faster! Nice job on the approach

[@RyanBinns]

Gotta keep those steep turns steep! Really hoped the ESP would have been a bigger surprise... your students are too good, they read all the POH supplements I guess lol 😂

[@LewDixAviation]

Hahaha they ruin my planned surprises by being good pilots! How dare they!

[@mow-it-pros5040]

I love how LewDix casually pulls out a banana

[@wesnix2548]

Nice.

[@thomasw.richter5212]

I am very glad not to have someone chatting aside of me anymore and fly my 182 for my own. :)

[@coasternut3091]

As someone who flies a G500 Archer, that autopilot stuff is crazy and weird and awesome.

[@Dominicabbate1]

Just got my complex endorsement in the Arrow! Great airplane!!

[@andrejones6949]

Got my license on Saturday in a PA28 and learn to fly a 182 tomorrow!

[@matheusrongetta712]

Nice Tshirt from Brasil!

[@joaogranger4452]

If you think the 182 is a heavy bird, you should try the 206, that one really is a heavy bird, heavy on the controls and if you throttle back it falls out of the sky like a brick! I flew the 182 and it flew like a glider compared to the 206. Love all your videos!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks man! If you think the 206 is a heavy bird you should try the ATR 😂 Alright we could go all day with this

[@aviator_thomas]

That wasn't the stall warning at 19:00, was it? Great landing, btw!

[@rebelyell22]

That GFC500 is such a workhorse

[@UltimateAnarchy]

I'm 6'6'' and find the smallest airplane I fit into comfortably is a 182. What would you say are the downsides or disadvantages of learning to fly in a high-performance airplane like a Cessna 182? I am just assuming since this is a larger, faster, slightly more complex airplane (due to the constant-speed prop) it will be a "little" more complicated and take a little longer to learn in. Other than the higher cost to rent is there any reason NOT to learn in the 182 and just stick with the standard 172 or Cherokee even if I'm cramped and uncomfortable?

[@Beav971]

Speaking of the airline... you ever going back Lew?

[@ryanmurray8338]

Do you recommend the Rugged Air headset?

[@iLoOkgameplays]

Why the hell are you using a palmeiras t shirt? ahahhahaa this is a team from my country. Nice videos man, i fly a VLJ in brazil and i've learnt so much in your videos

[@TheMegaCheat]

Palmeiras T-shirt !!!!! ❤️ my team

[@LewDixAviation]

Verdão!

[@RicSantos]

@LewDix Aviation You missed my like just because this Palmeiras shirt 😂. You need to get a beautiful Santos’s one , green doesn’t look good on you 😂😂😂

[@LewDixAviation]

Santos??? Shame about that Libertadores for you 🥲 😂😂

[@Trialnerror]

I've got a good CFI but I would kill to have one like you. We would do more laughing than flying and it would cost me a fortune but it would be fun lol.

[@LewDixAviation]

😂 well that’s a massive compliment.. and my wallet wouldn’t mind!

[@Trialnerror]

@@LewDixAviation LOL, well if you're ever up in NH let me know. My subscribers seem to like the recent flying content and I know they would love your personality!

[@josephabanks2]

Did I just hear you say that you want to fly a high wing Cessna more because it’s cool? Who are you and what have you done to Lew’s body? Lmao!!! Great video!

[@LewDixAviation]

I know 😳 I’m going to a therapist

[@joshparkey2018]

I feel like I could have finished my ppl at I had Lewis as my instructor

[@jordanmartin7364]

Lewis ok with a Cessna? Was that banana ripe enough to eat?

[@connorbrowne1883]

Just got my high performance in that same plane a few days ago!

[@LewDixAviation]

Nice! Love this thing

Landing is where everyone has trouble in the 182. The heavy nose and high glareshield don't do any favors

[@thejgoucher]

Great video as per usual 👍🏼. Tesla?!! I’ll be placing my #cybertruck ⚡️⚡️⚡️order for a Father’s Day gift 🎁

[@LewDixAviation]

Cybertruck!!

[@zacharykeys7175]

First!

[@PaulGarthAviation]

21:16 - Need to recalculate weight and balance now. CG shifted forward a bit. This will probably change landing speeds. 22:08 - So.... what did I just say? LOL! This must be a CFI thing... Mine ate bananas as well. Flew the C-182 in the CAP - they're really solid.
