Seems like a solo flight should be... solo! Another great video! I remember my first solo, I was 14 with my dad in a warrior 2. We were doing a sunday drive (fly), just mapped out a route and flew it. We did this every sunday, my dad fell asleep about 3 hours in, and me wanting to learn, didnt wake him up! I had about 45min of solo, but I wasnt risking the landing solo at 14! I woke him up about 5 min before downwind, and he still let me fly it all the way in! Out of hundreds of flights, that is my most memorable!

[@EA5TVVOOD]

I love how much the instructor interrupts. It’s funny listening to your interactions with her.

[@osmanmohamed7187]

Hi Jeff , actually when we land the 152 we never use the 3rd set of flaps unless we are so high on final approach usually it will be flaps 2 landing I think that’s why you were losing airspeed. But i like how much you explain everything.👍

[@BlueOvals24]

I like that your adding your own knowledge/experience. I'm going to utilize everything you tell us when I finally get the sim

[@dieter6640]

I had the same problem on the takeoff lesson until I turned on the objective window to see all the things to do and to turn them to green. Then I was able to complete the mission.

[@ccricc]

Same here. And I also had a bug with the objective window at first causing it to not show any text there. For some reason pressing the up arrow on my keyboard fixed the bug and I could complete the training.

[@parkerdenney7445]

Poor Jeff, he landed in Flagstaff and Karen said nope 🤣 Edit: It happened twice 😂😂😭😭

[@MsMoon02]

Flight Training to starting to become a great series. Hope your week is starting off good as can b. Stay safe

[@stephenyork7318]

I made the same mistake on the landing and she then says you weren’t supposed to. You had to reach her checkpoint for entering the downwind leg. It’s bloody annoying.

[@DanielTPeace]

Jeff I am a recent subscriber and I enjoy your videos immensely especially the attention you pay to details and of course your humorous idiosyncrasies. Thanks for all you add to the aviation community.

[@michaelb.8953]

Time to find another flight instructor.

[@thepilotblake]

I had the same issue he did

[@pipedreamin]

You never forget that first solo, my first solo C152 out of KSDL the #3 piston connector broke turning to downwind, that engine was pretty torn up by the time I got her down.

[@vatsalnarechania6652]

So many videos and flights in FSX 2020 by other flight simmers, but I'll be watching it for the first time when your video comes! Loved the Flight Training so far.

[@silkmonkey]

Flight Instructor Jeff making me want to actually do a real world lesson or two, not feeling overly intimidated. Thanks dude!

[@tylersimmons6524]

Jeff, I've said it before, but I could listen to you give flying tips for days, lol. Great content!

[@Acepilot2k7]

Awesome video, learned a lot.

[@sly2955]

Hey Jeff, how's your day goin?

[@onebuzz6859]

You got left on delivered for 8 months

[@heldrin4968]

July 15 1991 that was my first solo on a 152 at YQB Quebec city Intl airport. Like you said you never forget that first solo

[@arvindbenziee3826]

Always love your content Jeff ❤️❤️ U r my inspirational pilot❤️ MSFS2020 IS THE BEST💥🔥🔥✈️✈️🏎️🇺🇸

[@AditMahesh]

The issue must have been where you landed on the runway. On the last mission there was an "altitude too low" indicator. Doesn't make too much sense since both landings were safe and smooth, but who knows.

[@Amros03]

Carb heat should be off for takeoff. That should only be used if your RPMs aren't in the green arc...or if the engine starts running rough. Landing checklist...abeam the numbers, reduce power, carb heat, 1 notch flaps. Running carb heat all the time won't let you achieve peak RPMs.

[@orazioinsogna8427]

Hey Jeff! love the video! Maneuvering speed for the 152 is 104 KIAS (though this is for full control deflection maneuvers and depending on weight and C of G). Vx (best angle of climb) is 55 KIAS, Vy (best rate of climb) is 67 KIAS and you'll normally cruise at 90-95 KIAS. For reference this is with about 70 hours on the 152. Hope it helps!

[@jfavignano]

It does thank you!

[@ronaldbird6285]

did everyone miss when the instructor said final alt of 5700ft on downwind and jeff maintained 5400ft?

[@pipedreamin]

Oops, Sedona is not a place you want to be low, those red rocks have some nasty thermals.

[@ronaldbird6285]

@@pipedreamin lol I use thermals to mix my drinks by attaching the cup to the outside with flex tape

[@OlympusAerial]

You should fly the landing challenges next, a few of the GA ones are pretty good.

[@bradymatlock]

The sim did that to me as well, where it said you didn't land in the right place in Flagstaff. I was confused as hell too.

[@_pjd]

Can't wait for more videos. Thanks Jeff! It's a beautiful Sim.

[@nicksaffari4412]

imagine taking off with the carb heat on

[@pipedreamin]

When I saw that knob pulled I thought “he’s not gonna make it”. Even with the carb heat on, I’d like to see the day a 152 could maintain 500fpm out of Sedona.

[@blackice3820]

Wide ass pattern too, idk if that’s common for others but I’ve never seen one that big. And it’s not square off

[@juicypapa5758]

*takes off with carb heat on* at the beginning 😂😂

[@jfavignano]

You can thank the instructor for that

[@EagleMitch]

Jeff, it would be cool to see some tutorials for engine-out landings and other emergency type things.

[@jurgen5832]

Jeff..... are you sure you are right on the direction of the traffic pattern as you say @1M18..23?? Those brackets (as far as i understand) show you imaginary the base leg and final. So...if you think about that: they both show that the 2 directions both have a left traffic pattern. Not as you mention 1 left and 1 right. Also...if you look up Sedona in the info charts it says left pattern for both directions of the rwy..... Anyway...great video, thanks for that!!

[@bedandbadadvice2582]

"ya, I don't think so." LMAO mood

[@320ifly]

Flashback to the FS2004 training with Rod Machado.

[@xaviercolon3227]

I think the problem was that you landed short of the 500ft mark. In the landing training they have a target mark for where they expect you to land. Great video, this sim is looking amazing.

[@gamenation93]

The downwind leg was at 5700 ft that is why the marker was up high.

[@demobAPT]

I landed the other way around and didn't get a fail in both scenarios. Your video made more sense though; to land in the direction of the heading on the runway. Note I'm not a pilot and a noob to MSFS, I just mention it in case it was relevant.

[@patches8291]

Same thing happened to me on those navigation missions! I’m gonna try touching down just past the touch down zones and see if that makes a difference

[@kalynstalinski8375]

Given ambient temps in Sedona are in the 80’s over the summer, high density altitude is an accurate statement, in Tucson where it’s already in the 90’s at 7:00 am when I go flying, even though field elevation is about 2550, we’re taking off with a density altitude of over 3,000

[@rightwingamericandoggo2487]

If you want to see a Cessna take off like a rocket you should try grand forks, North Dakota in mid February

[@kalynstalinski8375]

RightWingAmericanDoggo I can imagine, but how long does it take for oil temp to rise to the green before that?😜

[@beboski02]

This man took off with carb heat💀

[@jfavignano]

Huh?

[@beboski02]

Jeff Favignano the carb heat was always pulled out in this video

[@jfavignano]

I never flew an airplane with it but on the 152 isn’t pushing it in turning it on? Why would they have carb heat on by default?

[@beboski02]

Jeff Favignano carb heat along with cabin air and cabin heat are “pull on” controls, not sure why they would have that on though?

[@beboski02]

Jeff Favignano turning on carb heat has a slight drop in RPM so see if you push it in if you get a slight increase in RPM

[@gryphon_0567]

Im so happy right now

[@aviasim364]

Probably the reason why the instructor is say you weren't supposed to land there I think maybe it's the runway you used to land like for example in Sedona I think you were supposed to land on the runway that you used to Takeoff in the previous lessons. Anyway GREAT VIDEO 👍👍 really enjoyed

[@b9bot148]

Great lesson Jeff, not sure what she wants which is not your fault.

[@marinamiller6642]

You do a really good job of explaining what to do.

[@kiwitoothpick9351]

Finally, starting fresh with the Cessna.

[@NWG6970]

So I admit I could be grasping at straws but I think maybe that you are landing a little too early on the runway for mrs micromanaging.

[@jfavignano]

on the forum others reported the only way to pass it is to do a really wide traffic pattern and continue flying the downwind until they say something.

[@TheLp640fan]

​@@jfavignano That's how it worked for me, not a pilot so i was going extremely long downwinds and passed it that way. theres more dialogue for the nav flight and i think for your solo it wanted you to land at 24

[@brandonstone6962]

The only thing that I can think of Jeff is that they wanted you to circle the flight pattern once or twice.. That or enter in a different way or something

[@rizb506]

The way she kept interrupting you 😭😂

[@leseditionspiamo]

I actually flew in Sedona, the most stunning place to fly in the world !

Great content Jeff! Happy i found your channel!

[@joshuasims3448]

Sedona isn’t very high altitude, flagstaff is higher. I’m from the Sedona area so I recognise the area.

[@gryphon_0567]

So happ for another MSFS

[@brad3682]

Hey Jeff can you do a video on ideal specs for gameplay or list what you’re using? Was so excited for this but my current computer can’t really handle it. BFV no problem, this... :/

[@ShaneMallon]

i love the way you say "don't know why they have that in the air so much. we'll just lower the nose (6.14) its because she told you to keep going to you reach pattern alt 5700 (5.54). then said your ahead of the curve. lol don't think so. Nice landing.

[@Don_Remez]

There is also a bug that wont allow you to use your instruments with mouse anymore, it happens i think when you minimise ATC screen, so i just close it now instead :)

[@b9bot148]

I've done all of these up to the solo flight. So that will be next for me.

[@edilier06]

Man I don’t see how the hp reverb will run this game smooth....

[@fredboston7233]

You may not see this, but I did my entire private in a 152. Reference climb speeds are Vx=55, Vy=67.

[@ohnolookwho241]

Hey Jeff, the flight lessons require you to land on the touchdown markers.

[@arielcruz3032]

Problem with lesson 7 was you didn't complete all objectives, when you reached the golf course you were supposed to restart the stopwatch, but it only shows on the objectives section

[@MistaJayRo]

@Jeff Favignano You did realize traffic pattern altitude is 5700 ft (1000 above airport altitude) didnt you?

[@chemiegamerpeter1326]

lets climb to 5,700 ft. Jeff: No, 5,400 ft. !

[@EYTANOFIR]

carb heat was on during takeoff it reduces power some of the time..

[@SillyPuddy2012]

Hey Jeff, consider a short flight around Lake Arrowhead California, up in the mountains north of San Bernardino. I’ll bet the scenery is beautiful.

[@dollarcreations2818]

I'm not even a quarter as good as you and even I got pissed off at the lack of proper instructions during the solo flight. 31:00

[@mr.martintorres5804]

Still trying to pass the navigation training. I've no clue where the landing point is on the runway in KFLG.....😡😡😡

[@user-qp9pu1xi4k]

As soon as I saw the notification *clicks*

[@WaxYourButt]

Jeff, you need to turn on the objectives,

[@drldexter2574]

That was in fact the problem. If you don't check all the objectives she is going to tell you off.

[@thephonedoctors4140]

Did u land on the wrong side of the airport @jeff?

[@screwy0u744]

I'm hoping jeff would do an airbus aircraft once.

[@jfavignano]

I just got done flying nothing but Airbus in xplane, the MSFS one needs some optimization but it’s planned to do a flight in it

[@monstersids]

I think they want you land further down the runway.

[@jfavignano]

I don't see how that would be the case, there is absolutely zero direction and we are landing on the touchdown markers.

[@donbell7661]

I believe if you look at the replay you landed in the yellow x before the touchdown marker At HIA kmdt they want you to land just after the touchdown markers (saves paint)

[@thecodemaster2503]

Can you do ocrp soon please

[@eduardoribeiroaguar1622]

Mistakes + mistakes + mistakes.. You must learn many things before fly

[@user-qp9pu1xi4k]

Hey Jeff, on your first flight can you fly to or from Huntsville, AL?(HSV)

[@Jessie_428]

Pls do more storm chasers

[@cheonsangzhang1010]

Hi Jeff, for a traffic pattern, I read some learning materials that said we need to climb to 1000 feet above ground. I noticed that this tutorial doesn’t tell us to climb to 1000, I think it’s only 5400 - 3700, like 700 feet, is this correct altitude we need to climb to?

[@blackice3820]

In part 61 FAR’s its 600-1000 feet above agl

[@blackice3820]

This of course also depends on the airport take off and landing procedures you can find on the AFD. It’s different on every airport

[@computerphone1486]

Mmm, you weren’t really supposed to land there. It was good don’t get me wrong but maybe it’s best you restart the lesson🤣🤣🤣🤣😡😡😡😡😡

I wish Jeff was my flight instructor!

[@bretttemplar321]

Newbee here...you mentioned frame rates. How did you know the were bad and what should you be aiming for?

[@mr.martintorres5804]

Jeff likely monitors Fps on another monitor. Aim for a minimum of 30 Fps. But the more the better. My RTX 2060 Super is yielding me 60-70 Fps

What is the white arc Jeff is talking about and where is it???

[@mcroniz]

Look at the airspeed indicator in the top right. At the 90 knots bar, there is a white arc wich go all the way to the beginning of the tape

[@mr.martintorres5804]

The white arc is where you start putting in the flaps. It's in the inner circle of the air speed indicator usually below 100 kts. On a 152 I think it starts at 80 kts.

[@paulphibbs7162]

Hey Jeff, on your circuit you stayed at 5400’ and the pattern height is 5800’. Any reason?

[@jguy1987]

I was looking for someone else that noticed this. I think the first segment on the crosswind leg he missed the instructor's instruction to climb to 5800' and only caught the 5400' so that's where he stayed. Indeed, according to AirNav, KSEZ runway 21's elevation is 4830' so the standard traffic pattern should be 5830'.

[@liamef8450]

Hey Jeff , how did you learn all of this airplane stuff, like all the buttons and everything ?

[@fredrikhagsmyr8016]

I believe he is or used to be an actual airplane pilot in real life, so the things he knows he probably learned in flight school as well as by his own experience by flying real airplanes. He used to do quite a few vlogs here on youtube years ago where he is visiting different places by airplane, as well as some videos of the airports where he used to work.

[@blackice3820]

A lot of what he knows has a weird twist to it. I highly doubt he’s ever been a pilot because no FAA examiner would ever pass this on a check ride. but he’s doing a lot of things that are right. I wouldn’t recommend watching this for flight instruction guys. if you do don’t apply this over other flight instruction.
