Flying a Light Sport Aircraft - The Tecnam P92 Eaglet

[@LewDixAviation]

You can never get away from me... I'll always find you! Chris is a good lad.. Remembering my catchphrase and that Cessnas are the scourge of the airways.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Do you follow your other students around to spy on them, or am I just special? 😁🥰

[@LewDixAviation]

@@ZeroThreeDelta Only the best ones.......

[@spelldaddy5386]

See now I'm just waiting for your video to come out so I can hear Gareth and Chris on the radio...

[@NinerZeroSierra]

@@ZeroThreeDelta don’t be flattered he was following me...

[@aileronsintowind6835]

Lewis you live in the states dude. Firearms are tooo common to be making statements like that 🤣 Sayin that that isn’t too different to Bolton 😉

[@javev1772]

Man, those landings were perfect!! Shout out to the great professor Chris.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Don’t stroke his ego. 🤣

[@NinerZeroSierra]

Thanks Javier, you’re always too kind, but Gareth is correct. Don’t stroke my ego... unless you want to. ;)

Thanks, and good luck!

[@RosarioPulvirenti71]

I train in a Tecnam P92 climb at 80kts and flaps up at 200ft and approach and land with 15deg flaps. They are so much fun.

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Nice video G! I thought it was a Cessna but I was pleasantly surprised!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Haha, not a Cessna. It’s some Italian thing 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@FuturePilotNinerOne]

That opening shot... damn! Great work all round man!

[@MassimilianoChiani]

Funny enough I did my PPL on the same type of plane. At least here in Italy it's quite often used by school instead of older classic GA planes

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

That’s understandable. They very affordable and I dare say fuel in Italy isn’t exactly cheap?

[@MassimilianoChiani]

@@ZeroThreeDelta Yep, usually Mogas is at 2,50 USD/Lt - A Rotax 912 (100CV) burn somewhat like 18Lt/Hr - Not to mention here we have a decent assistance for Rotax and Tecnam of course

[@andrewmartin8739]

Light Sport , very capable airframes 👍

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

It performed better than I thought it would.

[@JodelFlyer]

Well done Gareth! Great flying and a very nice video. Interesting that Lewis made an appearance as well. 😎👍🇬🇧

[@ForFunFlyer]

Nice video! 👍🏻 I have 50 odd hours on the P92 Echo, flies fantastic. Good performance, fun to fly!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I was pleasantly surprised!

[@ForFunFlyer]

@@ZeroThreeDelta Can imagine that! Actually, a lot of LSA's, like my own TL-96 Star (see my videos) fly super at relative low prices compared to bigger GA 🤙🏻

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

@@ForFunFlyer so I’ve gathered. 4.5gl per hour on the Eaglet. It’s puts it at $99/hr wet as opposed to $140/hr wet for the Warrior.

[@ForFunFlyer]

@@ZeroThreeDelta Exactly. Our club rents out their P92's at 90 euros per hour wet and insured. A fun way of flying...

[@avashaginaw8752]

Yo I trained there for a year!! I love tecnams they’re pretty fun.

[@RuiPlaneSpotter]

Nice!

[@avashaginaw8752]

Aaaah Lewis, nice!

[@gordonfeliciano4315]

LOL... if I didn't know better, I'd say you two were former Naval Aviators dropping f-bombs all over the place! Love it! GO NAVY!

[@NinerZeroSierra]

I’m an honorary navy pilot for this very reason...

[@ShianAnChiou]

i flew out of there in a p92 today and my words about the plane were nearly the exact same words haha! great vid!

[@chrisreagan8651]

Landings were butter, great job! Poor Lewis is just starving for attention so he has to be on all your videos haha

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Haha. We’ll be flying together again in the new year. I’ve been busy, he’s been busy, the plane has been busy ... you get the idea lol.

[@chrisreagan8651]

@@ZeroThreeDelta I'm a student pilot, I get the logistics issues with student, CFI and plane for sure! =) Looking forward to the next video.

[@mccoyaviation1002]

I’m currently training on that exact aircraft

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Cool! How's your training coming along?

[@andrewvaldez6658]

Both headsets are great headsets but that lightspeed looks so damn nice

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I think they look a bit big, but clearly a lot of people like them!

[@andrewvaldez6658]

@@ZeroThreeDelta the DC One X is super sleek but never see any real reviews on them 🤔

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

@@andrewvaldez6658 I bought a pair before buying the A20’s. They’re very tight on the head. I wasn’t a fan.

[@andrewvaldez6658]

I finally tried the dc one today and it was more comfortable than the a20. I have a big head so I'm surprised you found it tighter. The a20 was a little quieter though, but barely.

[@anthonyalbury5390]

5 mins from me, and hopefully i'll be getting my PPL from there in the next year.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Good luck!

[@LeeRussell]

Looks like a fun aircraft to fly 👍🏻

[@svp2587]

once you get used to the rpms of rotax, tecnams fly great

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

I was pleasantly surprised.

[@captainchad2428]

Hey capt did u complete your private ?

[@tonys7675]

Is that the level of professionalism for all your CFIs?

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

This wasn’t a training environment, nor was he my CFI. We’re friends and we acted as such. He’s a damn good CFI with his students and they have all strived under his instruction.

[@NinerZeroSierra]

Hey Tony! So I am the CFI in the video. Gareth is spot on with his response. We weren’t under any instruction to log hours toward a cert. That said, I am still just as relaxed while instructing. Now do I go off cussing up a storm with a new student? No. I tend to evolve into whatever personality works best for the student. Come fly with me!

[@grummangreaser4701]

Hahaha this guy is funny as shit! Nice edit brother.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Appreciate it!

[@ReneChewbaka]

He pulls off his sunglasses so that he can see the airfield? Hmmm

[@Acc0rd79]

When the heck are you gonna be a PPL? I thought you were almost done??? I got my IFR checkride flight pushed again!! Rain last Monday pushed it again....ugh. At least the owner of Flysmart is going to help get me signed off in my own plane since the insurance company won't accept anyone. Gotta get you in instrument right after PPL!

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Ran into some personal issues over the last couple of months which delayed training. Almost there.

Tell the radio guy to chill on trying to sound so cool such as "blah blah Apoppppkaaaaaa" and maybe leave off taking God's name in vain !! Otherwise decent video......

[@Mobev1]

As a trained pilot with an ifr rating from Tasmania I can say this plane is very small and probably a bit dangerous to be flying in the Florida thermals. I had a friend here who ended up in the flight levels down in boca.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Thanks for your insight. The LSA market here is very strong and I don’t personally know anyone who’s had this issue.

[@Mobev1]

No brs not getting in. Getting into a single engine is an automatic emergency. I fly Jets and im trained when I have one engine it is tie to be walking.

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

Good for you on the jets. However, single engine here in FL is more common than anything else. My dad had 40+ years experience in flying single engine here - not a single issue to report.

[@Mobev1]

@@ZeroThreeDelta I don’t know, seems a bit dangerous. Do you have a flight school with any brs planes down there. I’d like to learn how to fly ha again since I’ve been away from pistons for 14 years. I’m now retired but have a small whiners up her in PA

[@ZeroThreeDelta]

@@Mobev1The fact that you find single engine dangerous suggests you’ve been away from GA for far too long! LSA - I’d avoid that but there are PLENTY of places that will do instruction on 172SP’s or Archer III’s. You should try it!
