So much for learning if your attention during departure is more on your camera than your learning experience

[@LeppAviation]

A darn good job if I do say so myself. Y’all killed it! 😉 Let’s do it again soon!

[@PilotJourneyPNW]

You're going to have lots of requests from potential students now! ☺️ Appreciate you being willing to share this on YT!

[@LeppAviation]

@@PilotJourneyPNWThanks a ton for the kind words!

[@Cars-N-Jets]

What's up Sean!

[@ShannonDay-xn2yb]

nice work!

[@tompurvis1261]

You have a really good instructor. You have our permission to transition from content creator to pilot in training. You cannot do both, at the same time.

[@JustinMarkham80]

Good job you guys, cool seeing people just starting out. I actually just passed my private pilot check ride today after 3 months of training, you guys definitely got this!

[@JRAviation]

Nice work! Thank you!

[@adriennefoley2906]

Christian is a natural …..he seems to be good with his hands 😉👍🏻

[@Scotts_Status]

Your CFI is a total professional. Great video!

[@JRAviation]

Yes! Thank you!

[@RusscanFLY]

Glad to see you guys finally doing lessons in your newest airplane. Enjoy the journey! It is truly amazing! Fly well!

[@guillaumevilet6807]

Love it boys! I think that a lot of us are loving to put our first steps into the ppl. Thanks to you!

[@alrad5686]

I enjoyed the training video. You guys both did a great job. Proud of you both getting your licenses. Enjoy your flying!

[@Cavalier-lp8tr]

I like following progress. Keep filming.

[@daztography1]

You both did so good, loved the first landings..keep up the training videos

[@ChiliStyles]

My favorite moment was the cross countries. Thats when I really felt like I was flying. It was so cool to go to another destination further away

[@carterlane4013]

Congrats on starting up! Hope to hear you on the radios next time I’m down there!

[@bluenet360]

Great video. Really like watching you guys learn how to fly real-time. Hope you do more videos like this.

[@CherokeeN1023x]

Great video! My favorite part of my training has to be my first solo. You will never forget that feeling!

[@J.T..]

Congrats guys. Great first lesson. Keep up the good work.

[@YeshuaAgapao]

Yes more training videos. I want to see you flying those jets on your own!

[@OneMeanZ]

Gusting 22 for your first landings. Killed it dude!

[@JRAviation]

Windy one for sure!

[@mrkc10]

Great video. Shawn is an awesome instructor…love his LEPP Aviation Channel. Much success on your training

[@bigal0172]

Not boring at all. I've been watching your videos for a few months now and none have been boring in any way. Love your content so keep them coming! Your greased it on your first landing! WTG!

[@isthisrealmedia2552]

Another great Video. Well done! Love your instructor.

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Bros, How nice to see how you got flying lessons in your Cirrus SR20. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

[@scottbeyer101]

Good start guys. Keep cranking it out (the training I mean).

[@fatesandmyths]

Great job! Finally Student pilots. A lot to learn, but the fun will overcome that. Keep it up and show us more of it.😊

[@r.k.williams2887]

It’s about time you guys! Good luck and keep at it and love the process 👍RKW

[@rileysmith8980]

I completed my PPL check ride 6 days after 9/11. I’ll never forget how quiet the skies were. Keep up the aviation videos. Great stuff

[@NotthesingerChrisMartin]

That looked pretty good to me. Great to see Glendale Muni getting some love. I train there and they have some good schools there.

[@mandfmarine]

I enjoyed it. I think it should be shown as a healthy competition. The struggles in certain areas and how y’all overcome them will be great for inspiring pilots like myself😂. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[@patrickgreen2361]

Absolutely more training videos! I learned to fly riding shotgun with my father. Awesome stuff.

[@fabiobertolotti6979]

Sure ! I want to see every single lesson !

[@Tow69er]

Great job Gentlemen enjoyed the content keep it coming thanks for the share!!!!

[@myothercarisaz3]

finally, finally ....your are taking flight lessons. Good luck boys.

[@jaimeky]

Great instructor!!! Awesome job

[@Airship413]

Hell YA! Great video, nice job guys.

[@Papahunty]

Heck yeah boys, stoked for yall!!

[@PilotJourneyPNW]

Great job both of you! You're taking JR Aviation to cloud 9 now!! 😊 I just had my discovery Flight, it was such a great experience! 😁 I really do hope you can post more of your training. Just keep the camera rolling and forget it's there until you are back on the ground. No need to make any comments for the sake of the viewers as it is already enjoyable to watch and learn! Also, just being able to study the lessons afterwards you can take in more as it is hard to pay attention to everything going on at the same time in the beginning. There was so much going on I felt I had tunnel vision during my first flight! 😅 And you have an excellent CFI.... You are in good hands! This is so exciting that you are finally taking lessons 🙌🎉😄

[@user-rm1ul9fb4h]

It is really amazing how similar a cirrus 20 is to my Cessna 150 in landing. Great video.

[@devyate612]

Great video! Please make a series!

[@adriennefoley2906]

Christian is a natural …..very good with his hands 😉👍🏻

[@larryweitzman5163]

Good for you guys, you are now learning to fly. And You both did an really nice job (unless there is some bad footage on the cutting room floor) or else the Cirrus is that easy to fly. Good landings and there is just one thing to remember, Airspeed. Pegging your airspeeds makes everything else in flying so much easier. I've had some tough comments for you guys in the past, but you made this look pretty easy, and as said below, you have a real pro teaching you and notice how he controls airspeed and everything is done by the airspeeds. You guys are so lucky (of course you made your luck by hard work). Enjoy. Can't wait to see you both in the left seat of that Bonanza (not at the same time, I hope). As I made have said before I have owned two V35Bs and a B58TC for the last 32 years and when you are flying that F33A, you will be living (and flying) the dream.

[@wshauck9527]

I am in process of upgrading my REC Cert to private. Like the instruction Keep it up/

[@go_getit]

Nothing ing to it but to do it, glad to see you in the left seat 💺 finally ✈️

[@thomasmixson7064]

Great instructor & students Fair skies & tail winds....😊

[@suhaibabutawileh2480]

these videos are really fun!!

[@djwashx]

Great 1st video!!!!!!

[@bradp7660]

I appreciate this style of video and would love for you to post more like this. I am looking to start my dream of learning to fly. I’m trying to decide between two places. One of them uses Cirrus SR20’s. About twice as much and a further away airport, however I think I’m really sold on committing to learn with a cirrus. I feel in the long run it would be better to experience learning in the cirrus as well as this is a busier airport. I’m sure it will take more time but that’s just fine.

[@evanmcgrew400]

I’ll admit, I was in the crowd that was wondering when you were gonna attempt flying yourself. Congratulations on taking the next step. The look on your face while taxiing for the first time shows nothing but ultra excitement and fascination. I love to see someone treating their mind to a bit of that! Keep it up.

[@adriennefoley2906]

I’m smiling today …..aaahhhh…great to see Christian 😊

[@karambo2001]

Go for it. Love this!

[@premierpropertyinspectionc8500]

Awesome !!! and great CFI.. Loved the interaction between you guys... Keep the videos coming. Greetings from South Texas !!!

[@JRAviation]

Thanks! Will do!

[@usedconn41]

I started online school earlier in the year took some time away but then went fully back on about two months ago. I’m a hvac contractor and business owner in SWFL so it’s all on my own and in My own time but i went and passed the knowledge exam last week and my family was good enough to let me do a 50 hr block of plane rental up in Kissimmee in November. So I’ll be headed up to do 14 days straight with an instructor soon

[@countersteer101]

Awesome job! The radio communications will become so natural you won't think about it 😃

[@bubbaman12289]

I’ve been waiting for these videos for a while can’t wait to see you progress

[@thecanadian1433]

Favorite par of training was definetely Multi IFR, so muchhh fun

[@moseskelly2886]

I'm just beyond stoked like I'm pumped up to see you & Christian getting into your kick off to being pilots I've been waiting for this well before the JR Aviation channel came into existence tbh😎 I'm an OG follower. I helped y'all know a whole lot of jets in the beginning and tbh I still can. I really hope that I can meet you all in person. I'm planning to become a fighter pilot in the Air Force. It would be cool to have the honor to teach beginner pilots someday ofc once I get my pilot career kicked off. You both are going to be legendary pilots,😎🏆💯🥇I'm going to learn a WHOLE lot. My friends you both look like pilots and are already pilots in the making.🎉

[@xDoyle514]

beautiful plane man. your doing it right buying a plane. its actually cheaper to get your ratings that way just having to pay for a CFI. safe flights!

[@MAX_AVIATION]

Hell yeah guys! Way to go!!!

[@malakwangdave1388]

Awesome, Shawn and Owen are great pilots. I will like to join flying school.

[@therealCelticViking]

Keep coming those training vids. Let's inspire more ppl to get that ppl.

[@bradleyrupska4988]

Great video! Love it!!! The bad, your aircraft has two strikes!!!! It needs the parachute and the major thing!!!! Your engine is on borrowed time!!!!! Yes!, it is running great!!! But, you're lives are worth more than a new engine!!!!

[@saldun2603]

Fun fun times in understanding the dynamics. What a great adventure for all to have and to see. Very safe controlled and monitored for recovery. Always take advice in safety and emergency procedures. Murphies Law that might will happen. Staying ahead from the beginning until the work is completed. Point "A" to part "B". Advice that 3 point harness front seat should be firmly on your lap, ie pelvis low not high up to diaphragm or low rib cage. It's a thought for safety to reduce injury. Understanding the mechanics of injury to all. Onward 🌈 with prosperity.

[@berniebrown9115]

Yes and yes really got almost as excited as you did

[@figev3681]

yes please more training videos

[@obedturcios755]

What a nice way to start congrats!🎉

[@KGordon]

Well done gents - keep crushing it 💪

[@jonclassical2024]

I think you guys were smart to do a lot of GA flying as observers with pros like Owen, then start your true lessons....and you did great first time out with a CFI, but pass the written first is solid advice!

[@djwilliams4714]

Loved this video!

[@sameersmerchant]

Loved this video, need more training vids

[@ericphilipson1604]

Well done guys must be daunting to do your first touch and go without the pressure of being on camera excellent job 👍👍👍

[@jamiecaudill5915]

Congrats!

[@peteramberley9952]

Nice job u2 you smashed it

[@PICGillian]

making my youtube debut to say YAY for logging some time!! (also, logging your first hour in a citation is an increidble flex lol)

[@johngonda6447]

Christian NAILED that first landing!! Great job both of you!

[@JRAviation]

Heck yea! Buttered it up!

[@nicktalavera9659]

Love your excitement when you do something right 🤙

[@phillipoverpeck5395]

Loved the video, definitely do more

[@momoringo23]

YESSSSS I freaking love when u post thank u so much!

[@eddiegardner8232]

Very good work for your first landings. Working with a good CFI to ease you into the procedures really helps.

[@daviddd44-63]

Why did they start with the Cfi start in the left seat?

[@Captnoatp]

Nice video. Personally I wouldn’t introduce touch and go landings on the first lesson, but you guys did an excellent job. I would put more emphasis on slow flight and all kinds of stalls and turns. Also ground reference maneuvers would be an advantage to understand. But like I said, very nice landings.

[@TheSlider535]

I remember do this 52 years ago , WTG Guys !

[@flyinfroggy4371]

Great job loved it

[@robbbbbie12]

I think that was interesting, go ahead and post some more training videos.

[@TonyVeart]

Good video enjoyed it 👍

[@charlieBu85]

i remember about my first lesson when taxiing took literally all my workload on the ground ! looking that it is the same for u make me laugh

[@bobmcgehee1749]

Good job !!

[@mikeprodanov6765]

Great job landing... greased it......

[@billcarrier9622]

Good job boys!

[@thomasmixson7064]

Moderate turbulence causes changes of altitude & attitude & a bit more strain against seat belts & lifting from seats than what I observed. It appeared to be more toward light turbulence

[@Lloyd973]

Great job.

[@ZaimLashari]

Post some car stuff tooo and I'd be more than happy to see a video about the stolen truck if that's possible right now

[@user-rp8bi7pj1j]

Training very good

[@mehtabsandhu378]

Great job, guys ! I noticed that you tend to focus too much on the instruments, which is a common problem. To overcome this, try blocking them with sticky notes and focus on looking outside. This will give you a better sight picture and make climbing using the horizon easier. Your videos are fantastic, and I hope to have the opportunity to fly with you all one day. It's inspiring to see young pilots like Owen and the rest of you flying such cool planes. I'm only 20, so I hope to get to where you are with hard work and dedication. Keep pushing forward!

[@aaronbrown6266]

Developing a good instrument scan is vital. VFR pilots should be approximately 90% outside, 10% inside. I wouldn't recommend putting sticky notes on your instruments until practicing failures. Develop good skills early.

[@micahwest4481]

I’m pretty sure Sean gave me a tour of Western Michigan’s aviation department a two years ago.

[@LeppAviation]

Haha! I remember your name, Micah! That is awesome!

[@MrCyp200la]

Damn it not getting notifications.🤬 good luck with training 👍

[@kreativeflicks]

Great video expected... as usual... DELIVERED!!! But, but, but, but, but... More over the shoulder/instrument panel action! 🤪I'm gonna push it and also request altitude and airspeed info displayed🤪

[@JRAviation]

That's a really good idea!

[@PilotInstituteAirplanes]

Awesome landings!

[@cyrooski4]

Your lap belt is Riding high on your abdomen and it will not prevent your head from hitting the top of the canopy. TKO!!

[@Diligentcrab]

Yep would watch more. If you can perhaps film the landing from close to the runway and swap between plane audio/view and outside view. More editing and somebody has to suffer the heat outside but I think it would make an amazing video to see both perspectives, especially on the landings.

[@JRAviation]

Good idea!

[@MikeRetsoc]

Good video. Both student had seatbelt too loose and high (CFI should have covered proper use). Second student was a little locked on the instruments, but not a problem or uncommon for first flights. Both students handled the plane well IMHO.

[@PauliesGotIt]

110% keep doing what your doing .. what i would say is post more content though . sure your busy so share :)

[@JRAviation]

Thanks, will do!

[@thomasmixson7064]

A student may log PIC if making command decisions while operating an aircraft under the supervision of CFI

[@Thatpilotdakota]

Is there any particular reason that you’re not learning how to fly from the left seat? The left seat for the PIC and most places that you rent an aircraft have verbiage stating that you’re not allowed to land from the right seat unless you’re a Flight Instructor
