. We're back for another flight lesson with Sienna. She's a student pilot working on her private pilot certificate. She's excited for flight training, and we've been flying regularly. Technically, she can't even solo yet, but she is excited about pursuing a career in aviation.
On this flight lesson we've already broken the ice with a discovery flight, and a first lesson. Now we get deeper into the intricacies of controlling the aircraft, a Cessna 172. This is arguably the most essential part of flight training, as these initial lessons will stick with a pilot for the rest of their flying life.
After we take off from Homer Airport, we immediately get into a discussion about coordination. Essentially, we need to connect our hands and feet to our mind. Our feet should be moving a lot more than people realize, keeping the aircraft coordinated.
We take this through all different types of turns. Coordinating at all times is very essential. This is what we call "Stick and Rudder" flying. It should be a part of all initial flight training, no matter what airplane is flown.
Part of Stick and Rudder is stalls as well. We begin to cover that as well, showing and listening to the signs of a stall. And talking about how to overcome those stalls, which is the most important part.
Eventually, because we've been turning so much, we do steep turns. Steep turns accentuate all of the things we did in the other turns.

Hey Aviators! Thanks for tuning in. Make sure to hit the like button, subscribe, and ring the notification bell.

[@speedygonzales9090]

Hey Chris... As I said in the previous video, these are awesome videos, I think you hit the nail on the head, these are "keeper videos" to watch over and over again. Congratulations and ... THANKS !!! 😉👍 🇨🇦

[@AXOLOTL.0804]

Can we use rudder in fly

[@royfisher9528]

I don't see a like button but I did press the subscibe button.

[@royfisher9528]

I found the like button. It was in a different place that I am used to seeing it.

[@erchul]

I hope that I could after my second lesson ✈️ Siena did a GREAT job

[@RipVanAllan1983]

What did I learn? So, all the times I have been flying with a flight instructor or even watching flight training videos, I have never seen a demonstration of removing an ear muff and listings to the wings whistle when approaching a stall. Loved it, keep up the great work Chris!!

[@angleofattack]

Love to hear that! Glad you learned something new.

[@APPilot]

This is actually something we check for during a 100 hour inspection

[@freeyourmindok]

I love the way you teach. Learned more of what a stall is and hearing it for the first time. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndrewNorton89]

My CFI taught me to listen to how things sounded at all airspeeds and angles of attack. He taught me to listen to that and know it was an indication that we were close to stalling.

[@BjerkeRobin]

This is one of the great things about starting in a glider. You get a real good feel for how the airflow will sound and feel as you approach various angles of attack.

[@adibasdas]

she is so calm, I look forward to seeing her first solo

[@JohnS-il1dr]

She's doing great! When I was her age I was learning how to drive stick shift on a truck lol. Of all the fears of flying my fear is the radios to be honest. ATC speaks fast with lots of shorthand words

[@FlanaganCo]

I’m 3 lessons in, 3 hours logged… I liked: 1) more rudder at first then ease off 2) more right rudder is necessary due to left turning tendency 3) earmuff off to hear stall Love your videos.

[@willleaton2827]

I just passed my PPL checkride at the end of this past September, and haven't really flown a lot since, due to trying to save up money and pay off debt until I start my IFR training, but I love watching your videos because they keep me proficient at least on the knowledge of flying the airplane even when I'm not flying, and these lessons are bringing me back to my first few lessons a year ago. Even post checkride, It's important to keep hammering in the basics and your videos are helping me with that so thank you 😀

[@henryrymer6609]

I have an ATP and have enjoyed flying for 40 years. Nothing was as rewarding as teaching.

[@corbinb3992]

Excellent communication and positive reinforcements. Very expertly handled. Comfortable and confident. Top notch instructor.

[@royson345]

What did I learn? Standard rate turn, always work the trim wheel, learn your sight pictures. Love your channel man! Your student looks like a natural too, can't wait to see her knock out the pattern and grease her 1st landing! Keep em coming! Cheers!

[@Fast351]

Just took my discovery flight today (at age 50). I am planning on getting my PPL and it's really cool to see what my first couple real flights will go like. I am jealous of your scenery!

[@davethibeault2484]

stick with it. It'll get frustrating at times but it's worth it.👍

[@saltygator]

I got my PPL at 57 and I'm now working on my Instrument Rating. Hang in there, it is an awesome journey.

[@timrich7861]

I'm 42. I was thinking I might be too old to do this so late in life, but this is encouraging.

[@craigclarke4736]

@@timrich7861 Guess what. I’m 62! Did my first solo 3 weeks ago. Let’s both keep at it. Craig Clarke, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

[@Thumper43230]

You all are giving me inspiration. I’m 52 and just started training. Have had one flight so far and can’t wait for my next lesson, we just keep getting canceled for weather but I’m in and committed!

[@rockydabull1711]

Great instructional techniques! Former AF instructor, CFI/II, MEI. I always appreciate seeing good instruction. Found a few tricks to add to my arsenal👍

[@angleofattack]

Means a lot coming from a former AF instructor.

[@falcofist6856]

1 thing I found interesting was that I never knew that the whistle was the air separating from the wing. That is actually very interesting.

[@zachg6456]

The whistle itself isn’t from the air separating from the wing, it’s an indication from the stall horn that the air is separating. Without the reed in the stall horn there wouldn’t be a whistle.

[@skyepilotte11]

Great to see young people, especially girls showing an interest in flying...keep up the good training...beautiful state to learn...

[@michaelshipley7283]

This is the best training content I have ever seen. I dabbled in flight training many years ago with a family friend. He taught me some of the basics of flight training. He showed me the basics very similar to this instruction video. I'm 58 and retired now. I plan to finish my lifetime passion of flying solo one day in the very near future.

[@WilliamSmith-ym6ve]

You've got a good instructor and a girl so quiet. She's taking everything in what you tell her you're a good call pilot structure and you're being patient with her and guided and showed her the right way. To fly a airplane and keep the nose down and keep it level and don't pick up your speed too far. I will have the control of the plane❤

[@rawando]

I’m going for angle of attack:), Im beginners beginner . Thank you Chris ! Wish that you were my FI, but that’s not going to happen I’m living in Belgium EU.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day from Sydney Australia. 'What did I learn' * AoA has a learner (student pilot). * 423U is Airworthy * V1 speed - rotation * Coordinated turns 'step on the ball' and maintenance of altitude horizon 'over the nose.' * Disapating the plane's energy and reaching the AoA for stalling the plane. * Location of RWY and decent rate 'with radio intentions/clearance. * Reaching the RWY surface at the optimal glide slope and KIAS as specified in the POH (or windspeed) conditions. I enjoyed the outlook: being the views. 🐯🌏

[@BilboBagginsStory]

Loving the series! Starting my flight lessons in the next weeks!

[@angleofattack]

Hopefully you're learning a thing or two.

[@itwork6810]

Excellent

[@HollywoodMGB3]

Thank you for the great videos. Have enjoyed all I have watched so far.

[@speedygonzales9090]

Hey Chris... As I said in the previous video, these are awesome videos, I think you hit the nail on the head, these are "keeper videos" to watch over and over again. Congratulations and ... THANKS !!! 😉👍 🇨🇦

[@mkrsek1]

Great video, and great lesson. You hit the nail on the head - really spectacular scenery out there.

[@tannerstodd]

I hope she's learned over time to be verbal. She shakes her head a lot and flying is very verbal. Need. "Yes" and "no" or specifics not head shakes. I love learning and watching. Thanks for the videos!

[@TheBestAsianGamer]

What a gorgeous scenic.

[@phillipruda2445]

Stunning office you have there. I'm in the UK at the solo circuit bashing stage of my PPL. I have often dipped into your videos to refresh on whatever I happen to be working on at the time. Having another FI talk about a topic (sometimes in a different way) just adds to my comprehension. My home airfield is in the middle of the South Downs National Park near the south coast. It feels an absolute privilege to be able to see the exceptional views we are lucky enough to have here. Love your work, and thank you.

[@michaelchristison6791]

Thank you for the video. I start this Friday and Sienna being so calm and collected really makes me feel less nervous. She's going to be an excellent pilot. Thanks

[@kiltedmonkcustoms]

Love your videos. It's funny to see her spending so much time looking at the panel. I remember in the beginning, I was fixed on that. I love how you explain things

[@WarcraftPvPFilms]

I love the introduction of coordinated turns. I'm coming up on my initial CFI checkride and will be adding that to the toolbox

[@TheFastchook]

I'm an Aussie currently saving for lessons and love your KZbin channel. The advice here doesn't feel like homework - quite the opposite, I'm inspired & hungry to start! Wow the scenery is jaw-droppingly sublime.

[@fightforfreedom1921]

Very cool lesson, thank you.

[@randya9810]

Love your content, Your passion with teaching and aviation and more

[@flygy481]

So solid, Chris! Love this… 👍

[@stuartmattingly9681]

Love your videos and they are very useful. I am student pilot in Tucson Arizona and I love seeing how other CFIs approach the teaching. Did I miss you doing a walk around and checklist with Sienna?

[@deanarndell4609]

Love your flight training vids mate, lots of info, and Sienna is doing an awesome job 👍🛩️ Greetings from Northern Rivers Australia 🌴✨🏄🌊🐬

[@XandeJam]

I'm now booked and excited to do my first lesson and i can only hope my instructor is even half as confidence inspiring as you are. I love your videos.

[@ciclistas10]

Great videos dude just getting this flight thing growing on me , I do appreciate it all your videos!!

[@josephsener420]

So for your student, I just finished my BFR with 18 yrs and 945 hours. My instructor had me in slow flight at 60 kts in a Piper Dakota. We pulled the power to idle, maintained 500 fpm descent and then pulled up and left bank (like an aw shucks moment in the final turn). Just to feel the fall off from 3000 ft. You never stop learning. Thanks for the work you do.

[@westdoc]

Very helpful and instructive. Thanks.

[@Makeshift_Housewife]

that river delta around 21:00 is so gorgeous!!

[@angleofattack]

Isn't it nuts?

[@KeithMooney-sf9gr]

Thank you so much for these videos, love it

[@touristtom5675]

Glad I found you to help me be some what prepared to learn to fly. Meet my instructor Monday morning. Definitely binging allot of c172 training videos and learning as much as I can

[@johno3888]

I see how you link principles together and build on. A good approach to teaching.

[@MrJlough]

I'm a rusty pilot and will doing my BFR soon to get back to the left seat. This was a great refresher video. Thanks

[@littlefishinggoat5409]

24:44 I thought you were getting out of the plane 🛩😬 Great videos. Studying for my PPL. 👍👍

[@B_Drippin]

I'm finally getting back to finishing up my flight lessons after an 8 year break. Listening to your videos while on a road trip helps me by getting another instructors opinion and take on things. Very thorough explanations, thanks. Also love the little bits I pick up, like how a standard rate turn will do 360 degrees in 2 minutes.

[@drvaleriejuliebrousseau9607]

I have such incredible memories of Homer… now I think I am going to have to go fly your way… excellent instruction!

[@rpcraighead]

Love the climb rate demonstration with the rudder!

[@goteborg0916]

its absolutely fascinating to watch your videos. I want to start taking lessons here in Atlanta

[@julioserrano8730]

Amazing views. No better place to take flying lessons. It looks that she is doing great. Great instructor!!!!

[@nathanjacobson9204]

I showed the scenery in this video to my wife. Now we both want to fly to Homer this fall. Stunning. What a dream to learn to fly in a place like that!

[@markmaccani9411]

Chris, Another great video with excellent information. Sienna is very lucky she gets to train in such awesome scenery. Knowing me if I was training in that you would have to stay on me to stay on task and not be just looking at everything around me. Lol.

[@mikecoffee100]

Cool Instructional videos and also good refresher as well.

[@JP6961]

Hey Chris. I have been watching you. We have the same last name. I live in Australia, not an aviator. I have been in control while in the Military. But I enjoy watching you and Josh from aviation 101. I like the way you introduce rudder to the student. Also the upgrades to your plan are great. I watched that happen.

[@angleofattack]

Thanks so much, John!

[@Not_Lewis]

You're a great instructor!

[@PilotLife215]

I Love your teaching style. I think you’d fit my needs perfectly, as far as someone to learn aviation from. Thanks! for the video’s you have a new subscriber & virtual student 😂.

[@djtentacle3570]

I remember my first few flight lessons, especially the first one where I was so silent to my instructor because I had to process so much. Looks like same thing here. She couldn‘t even comment on the beautiful nature. She will be able to do that soon though. Please share her progress. This was great content.

[@sl0f1n93]

Ohh yeah man, I was so quiet at the beginning, now I can actually look outside sometimes, see the city, rivers and stuff)

[@Flyingthroughadversity]

Love watching the channel!! And the “big dreams” ending 😎😎

[@chuckpowell391]

Great demo of coordinated turns Chris. I've had my private since 2015 and deep into the instrument rating but I always pick up useful info from your videos. Kudos my friend!

[@adrianacosta5863]

Why did it take you so long. Is instrument that hard?

[@luisnguyen5455]

Good Job trainers, thanks for sharing with younger students buddy.( RCAF Veterans)🇺🇸🇨🇦🇫🇷🇬🇧🙋‍♂️

[@elicas0319]

Hi Chris. Been watching your content since beginning. Really enjoy the way you instruct. Greetings from Puerto Rico...Cheers!

[@AMO1921]

Really good instructor!

[@mortekaieve4729]

What a beautiful place to learn to fly. I went on a trip to Homer over a decade ago and did some awesome halibut fishing, but the view from the sky is so much more stunning. I'm currently learning how to fly over vast flat farmlands, there is a massive mountain range out by the airport and the cities that people travel here to see, but we go the opposite direction of them to train, so not a whole bunch to look at, although I find myself paying no attention at all to the scenery at this stage so I guess it's not a huge deal, I'm just concentrated on flying the plane and looking at the horizon or good fields to land in.

[@rayalvarez9710]

These videos taught me so much, I have a demo coming up, and have flight school in September! 🛫✈️🛫✈️

[@davidcubero2137]

Wow, Sienna is going to be a GREAT PILOT! It appears that She's a Natural IFR Pilot! I've been a Pilot for Over Four Decades & I've got Every Rating available to a Pilot except for Crop Dusting & CFI. I've been Jet Rated for 39 Years. I may Not be a CFI, but I've flown enough with other Pilots to Judge Natural Talent & That Girl Is Good! Any new Pilot that can't keep her eyes off of The Instruments is A Natural!!!

[@brandonboand]

I love your content. I started flying when I was in school at Winona State university Minnesota I’m now 50 years of age and would really love to finish what I started, as aviation has always been a passion of mine.

[@rumblethis2023]

Instructed for years and always demonstrated the maneuver to the student clearly before they did it. Also teaching students to look outside all around before making turns is a great life extension technique.

[@pryankster69]

love your channel, and your teaching style. I'm about 20 hrs into my PPL -- just got back from a ~3hr lesson/flight, and the first thing I saw in my KZbin subs was this video! It's nice to see another CFI's style -- and the scenery.. OH EM GEE -- we've got some nice scenery here in the San Francisco, CA Bay area, but nothing to hold a candle to what you guys have up there!

[@sl0f1n93]

20h in, just soloed last flight, hows your progress coming in? Where you at?

[@neilmclaughlin5412]

Woo! You fly like Ameila Airhart! ✌

[@KeithMooney-sf9gr]

I'll tell you what I've learned, I've learned that I must take up flying you have such a calm but direct way of passing on information,

[@eaglerandall11]

as a newly minted private pilot, working with you in that environment would have been amazing. kudos

[@nuffens]

that has to be the best place to learn to fly, absolutely gorgeous

[@OzzyInSpace]

Student = Tense and trying to concentrate; CFI = Gushing over the amazing view. LOL I love it.

[@andrewhayward9539]

As soon as she said she hasn't seen Star Wars, you should have done the ultimate test and cut the engine to scare her ;) haha. Love this series.

[@angleofattack]

Yup!

[@ranjrog]

Excellent job!! How are you liking the vernier throttle? I have one and am not too sure about it. It seems sticky and sometimes the knurled knob completely unscrews. Just curious if you like yours!

[@pieter89100]

Very nice demonstration! Love your videos! One question, at the end you mention that the 49 mph landing showed that you had something left when doing the stall exercise at 57. Wouldn’t this be due the ground effect at the landing?

[@nealsandy8464]

God seeing this landscape makes me miss Alaska so much. Did a 5 month internship there and I almost didnt come back to the lower 48.

[@bryansimmons4550]

I guess I got a lot of my flight training on the ground, from my Dad who flew a C-47 on D-day and throughout the war, and then came home to fly a V-Tailed Doctor Killer for a construction company until heart issues grounded him I talked a lot about the intricacies of airmanship. My second flight instructor also flew the C-47, but for the Air Force, and his aircraft was actually an EC-47 flying over Vietnam and such places, as the guys in the back tried to figure out electronically where the North Vietnamese SAM sites were. Both of them knew their planes, and their operating systems to a T. My brother came home, and flew in no particular order that I can repeat for the Kansas ANG (KC-135) and Alaska ANG (KC-135) and he was an I-P on those 135's. Knew them inside and out, backwards and forwards. He then worked for Beechcraft and Hawker, training pilots on King Airs and Hawker Bizjets, When he had time to come to Baton Rouge, we'd rent a 152, 172, or Cherokee D and I build my air time with him. Since he was a CFI-I by them, it was all legal. So when I started my lessons on my own, the very first one, my poor instructor told me "You already know what to do, so let's get in and go." Se we would get ATIS, then contact ground for taxi and Runway in Use, taxi out to the run up area, do all that, then switch to tower, get our take off clearance and turnout, and go! I already knew about trim and keeping the ball centered, using right rudder on takeoff climb (if you had an American engine) and finding your spot on the windscreen that matched your horizon, and all that neat stuff. I lot of students get intimidated by the radio. I was a cop, so listening to and talking on the radio was normal to me, other than having to learn a few different terms. Honestly, with my one continuous CFI, he didn't do much more than bring his cup of coffee and talk me through the maneuvers, then sign me off for my solos and solo cross-countrys. He hardly ever touched the controls unless he wanted to show off with a STEEP side slip or forward slip, and engine-out practice was fun, too. If I could add one thing to this video: EVERY student should have and READ a copy of "Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying" by Wolfgang Langewiesche. It truly makes you understand that the stick or yoke control is the speed control, and the throttle is the altitude control when the wing has attained the proper attitude of minimum angle of flight, and the throttle is set for takeoff speed.. Too many students start out with the opposite, and incorrect, idea. It's important that a student knows why an airplane flies, and what KEEPS it flying and performing the maneuvers the pilot wants it to.

[@MarsMan1]

Yep... Landing is very important!

[@stubblejumper9807]

Great video Chris as a 5 year private pilot It seems as tho i am right back to that awesome time when i learned how to fly. I had a great instructor as well . He did a lot of explaining on flight and technique much like you do. Your camera setups are great making for spectacular videos. Keep up the excellent work.

[@angleofattack]

Thanks much!

[@amandamahaffey]

Currently training for my license and loving your videos on her journey. I’m in my 4th lesson 😊

[@JohnS-il1dr]

Good luck on your solo!

[@FrankCambareri-tl9el]

Great video! Thank you! I liked the focus to maintain level flight by aligning the cowling with the horizon. Very easy to see this in Alaska with mountains all around you as a point of reference. What about in Florida where everything is flat as a pancake? What is your point of reference?

[@ridingtothehills-official8871]

Going for my first lesson onto my first stage of gaining a pilot license. Can’t wait!!! 😂🎉

[@royfisher9528]

I wish I lived where I could have him as my instructor.

[@zimbiyt]

I hope i get a gud instructer like u

[@troynyholm232]

Yea, think of all those poor souls at sparten school in Kansas, nothing to see but red dirt :-) found your channel just by chance and reminded me of home....probably since I grew up 70 miles north of you (I live in the lower 48 now) your student is doing good she seems very comfortable. Maybe spend a little time with ICE theory, she doesn't seem like a big gear head:-) I think it's important to know the basics, at least to the extent you have control over in the cockpit and preflight, it might save you some day! My instructor always taught the mechanics of the lessons, but then tried to get me to understand and feel how the aircraft was moving through the air when I was coordinated vs. just chunking it through the air and how much better the aircraft behaved when you flew a centered ball. Your turns are more precise, you lose less altitude in stall recovery. The air is more "attached" to the aircraft and you can feel that in your core, in " the seat of your pants". Tell her to own the aircraft. ..every pilot retrims when you switch controls :-)

[@nbt3663]

Cool #2 video!

[@Danburdick-lm5xt]

flew model airplanes 50 yrs so have a pretty good understanding how the airplane acts and is just a diffrent scale...

[@michaellee9411]

I'm very entertained and trying to be very studious by watching and listening how things operate - I like learning something new and this is only been a week watching lesson 1 and lesson 2 I know this is a big ask but I'm wondering if there's a camera that can be installed with enough lighting to watch how the feet pedals are working I'm starting to pick up some of the jargon but it's still foreign language to me still but I can't see the pedals when you instruct the young lady to make a turn it would be nice to glance down and see how the clutch pedals were working and how it opereates I'm sure that's a difficulty with cameras without enough but it would be excellent knowledge to see when you're describing her to use her feet it would be awesome to learn when you speak on command for her to operate the pedals we could see again watch how that works But I understand it's probably unfortunate a camera can't be installed Congratulations to the young lady and you too for being a terrific teacher

[@CocoEspada]

One thing you didn’t use was teaching her Dutch Rolls lol, it is a phenomenal teacher of coordinated inputs!

[@staceylynn1208]

you should have her in all the videos she is doing such a great job

[@dzurisintube]

Depending on your opinion 24U is either always in or out of test standards with that wagging Altimeter haha. Not sure I've seen 200 ft +- before. That nice new primary makes it less of an issue for sure.

[@lizperr]

Nice landing! :)

When you turn left, which pedal do you press? right or left?
