What are those towers to your left at 6:57? Looks like something from a SciFi movie!

[@FlyWithKay]

South of Houston there is an antenna farm which is what you see. I am not sure why they would build them so high, but they are huge and you can see them from the entire city.

[@ashikihsan1946]

You flew safely Kay without any difficulty I'm happy to know Kay that you finally fixed your plane brake problem. Brakes are very essential when we fly in a plane. You are really a good pilot Kay

[@Scharpy1]

Thank you for the ride Kay! Very professional. I like your radio style too. Two very small things I used to tell my students, never say 'about' x miles (everyone is about, even for a split second). On landing, I'd make myself say ...on final 'planning on' full stop. If nothing else, just to hear my own or students vioce know that landing the first time around is just plan A. Keep doing what you're doing. I see you as a safe airline captain in the near future.

[@ss-tx-rx2860]

I typically said "inbound for [landng type]". It establishes that T&G, full stop, taxi-back, etc is your intention, but we all know in aviation that intentions are just that. I just recently discovered Kay and am very impressed with her professionalism. She'll make a great 121 pilot. My one tiny critique that we're all guilty of is just to make sure not to prepend your callsign with "for" when responding to a ATC directive. "Right 090 for 44X", for example, could cause confusion. Was the callsign 444X or just 44X? It's just improper radio telephony. It's a hard habit for native English speakers to break because we like talking in complete sentences, but it is wholly unnecessary. "Right 090, 44X" is all you need.

[@larryadams9935]

Love your professionalism and enthusiasm, Kay! 👍

[@FlyWithKay]

Well thank you Larry! Glad you enjoyed the video😊

[@georgew.5639]

There you go. That’s what a few air bubbles in the brake lines will do. And that’s the fix. I’m glad you are safe. 😁

[@jamesburns2232]

Kay put red brake fluid in her little red Cherokee. All color matched! 🥰🤩😘🤪

[@jamesboston7457]

I would say take off was approximately 60- 65 knots great take off and landing excellent pilot

[@FlyWithKay]

Wow thank you so much!!!

[@jerrygreeno7181]

I'd say 82mph

[@mooneyairventure]

Kay, you’re a CFI, you should know when you getting to uncontrolled airfield, it’s not recommended to go for straight into the runway. You should always enter to the correct traffic’s pattern as polished in chart supplement. This is for safety and sequencing and spotting other traffic in the pattern.

[@mooneyairventure]

@@FlyWithKay norm is not the way. I’m sorry. Accident can happen because everybody loves to go for straight in 🛬You should be example to others as flight instructor to follow the rules.

[@eolle43]

​@@mooneyairventure I would disagree...in part and I'm using FAA so not always the most reliable source :) . Straight in approaches are regularly used to safely terminate flight for both VFR and IFR flights. There are allowed due to the fact that FAA only regulates pattern flow and not pattern entry. Since a straight in does not enter the the pattern it is considered safe, acceptable and the norm. This is all referenced in FAR/AIM and FAA Advisory Circular AC 90-66B. There is no replacing good situational awareness, proper communication on CTAF, see/avoid and being familiar with the airport. In an new or unfamiliar airport entering the traffic pattern is recommended. It would be interesting to see if there was an increased accident/go around rate for straight in visual straight in approaches in uncontrolled fields that are filed ARSR database.

[@mooneyairventure]

@@eolle43it’s not prohibited to go for straight in approach. But safety is the most important factor. Not everyone reports their position on CTAF. That is for sure! I almost had 2 accident because of that. They are many GA aviation without transponder or radio in class G or E, so entering the traffic pattern at 45 or as listed on the chart supplement is to your advantage and safety to other aircraft for sequencing and scanning for other traffic!

[@anonymous-nobody1]

@@eolle43 yes AC90-66B is a very important document when working at non-towered airports, keep in mind technically an Advisory Circular is not law HOWEVER the Advisory Circular is how the FAA interprets and explains the regulations and what it expects you to do. The FAA does not disallow straight in approaches, in fact item 9.5 states that "The FAA encourages pilots to use the standard traffic pattern" That doesn't say you MUST use it, just that it might be a good idea, it further goes on (I'm paraphrasing now) that if a straight in approach is elected for whatever reason it is up to the pilot to coordinate with other aircraft that are in the traffic pattern. In other words putting yourself on a 5 mile straight in final doesn't give you priority over other aircraft now that you are "on final" as that would be taking advantage of the right of way rules to cut in front of other aircraft, last sentence 14 CFR 91.113 (g)

[@jimgerhardt2100]

My home airport is 2600". I lost a seal in my master cylinder on landing a few years ago. Fortunately, I had landed short (as is my habit there) and was able to roll to a slow turn around and get back to the hangar. Doesn't sound like much now, but it did impress upon me the importance of speed management on final.

[@willarddevoe5893]

Left and right wheels have completely separate braking systems. Tap left rudder if you lose your left brake.

[@jimgerhardt2100]

@@willarddevoe5893 My Cherokee had a hand brake with one master cylinder under the panel. Master cylinder blows out means no brakes.

[@ryanawilson8549]

Good looking out!

[@johnwight6041]

I can feel your frustration! Failed airspeed indicator, failed mechanical fuel pump and failed airspeed indicator so far cancelling flights so frustrating!

[@ruelreed2719]

Glad you got your brakes fixed.

[@LifetimeinWelding]

I’m in love…… with your little plane!!

[@tnflygirl]

I used to rotate at 55 knots in my 150 Cherokee

[@anonymous-nobody1]

Tell your mechanic that he should use a "pressure pot" to bleed the brakes, that pushes fluid (and bubbles) up to the reservoir instead of trying to force the bubble downward, I believe this is the recommended way to do it. Also I'm against flap retraction on the runway, yes you are flying a fixed gear airplane, but it is a bad habit to be in and you should break it now. As you move to more complicated aircraft it really would be a very bad day if you grabbed for the flap handle and instead raised the gear (and it has happened), should the weight on the wheels still be a little light the gear could fold.

[@ohwell2790]

I am for flap retraction on the runway to avoid anything that maybe kicked up by the tires. I am a pilot and even during flight training the instruction is raise the flaps. And, she learned to fly from her dad. Every single video you will see that the flaps are retracted on roll out on the runway. There is a switch called a squat switch that prevents gear retraction on the ground.

[@anonymous-nobody1]

@@ohwell2790 that's a new excuse that I've never heard before as to why to retract flaps "to avoid anything that maybe kicked up". Yes I am very familiar with the squat switch, but you do realize they can fail? Even if the squat switch is working properly, if you do not have full weight of the aircraft on the wheel the squat switch may not be activated. Just because "that is the way I was taught" or "that's how my instructor did it" doesn't mean it is correct.

[@rodneycichon5993]

And get those brake lines bleed, be safe young lady

[@ruelreed2719]

And by the way you're flight skills are outstanding

[@willarddevoe5893]

You should have your red 5606 fluid changed every 5years if hangared or 2 years if outdoors. Cherokees have magnesium wheel calipers. They can corrode very fast. They must always be painted. All the O rings should be changed every 15 years. Brakes can be bled exactly like car brakes (easy peasy) or filled from the bottom. Avoid smashing down on the brakes. The most common mistake is dropping the fill plug under the floor. It has a hole to tie a thread, so you don't lose it.

[@tucksmith8300]

I hope you got your brake issues fixed

[@FlyWithKay]

Thanks!

[@martinsanchez4493]

Love your post be safe kay 🙏🏼✈️🤘

[@davidbires2351]

Around 80 mph you do a great job

[@Dialedintox]

You usually rotate at 65 unless Pops is with you then it’s 70. I believe you referred to him in one video as added weight. L O L.

[@FightbackMediaGroup]

Cool I really liked this format best so far!

[@garycooper4526]

lil Red getting jelous of other planes you been looking at.lol

[@LeonardoCostaUSA]

Did you say something fell off? What was it? Very fun video by the way, I love it!

[@royhi1809]

Rotate speed all depends on... weather, tempurature, weight...depends average for you would be (my guess) 75-80.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

@FlyWithKay >>> Great video...👍

[@DWBurns]

I start to pull it off at 60, aviation begins at 70. Mine is an Arrow II so basically the same plane.

[@jonest062894]

The amount of compounding negative ADM decisions made in this video is scary, especially coming from a CFII. You should set an example for others.

[@paularam6735]

So watching your video and the brakes are known to be faulty, that puts any piper off my shopping list!!!!

[@artielatzko9379]

I always rotated at 60 knots and clumped at 70 knots 500 feet per minutes

[@Mikinct]

Great video. Question When you wear Sunglasses 😎 are there special aviation ones that block the sun but allows one to also read gauges & ipad. I know my driving glasses block sun but I can hardly see my dashboard instruments etc. Maybe there's Bi-focal aviation sunglasses? Blocks sun but can read panel instruments.

[@robertshaver4432]

Very nice! Could you have and is it a usual/correct/accepted maneuver to slow and zig zag instead of performing a full 360?????

[@FlyWithKay]

Yes that definitely could have been an option, but I felt that the 360 approach kept me out of the traffic pattern area and therefor was safer😊

[@ThePlanefixr]

Please do not pump that throttle while starting. That’s an easy way have an induction fire. Use the primer, that’s why it’s there.

[@FlyWithKay]

Thanks for the advice!

For the takeoff, 70 mph😊

[@edwardstephens247]

85 knots at rotate

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

No idea on the take off speed as I'm a fairly new subscriber. I don't know what your flying so I have to give you what I consider an educated guess at best. Most smaller single engine planes I find take off at about 55 knots, so I'm gonna say 63.2929 mph. Mind you, I'm only a sim pilot but can't get enough aviation. I do remember hearing you say it was in miles per hour.

[@ohwell2790]

Airplanes have various speeds depending on the plane and take off weight.

You should land with full flaps and as slow as possible at all times to save on tires and brakes and for safety incase your brakes fail. At large busy airports of course that will not apply.

Hi Kay, I’m new to your channel and this is my first comment. I think your speed was 55 kts or thereabout. I fly a Piper Cadet and that’s the speed I rotate. Thanks for your very inspiring videos. Just one question : what navigation program do you use in your iPad? Thank you and take care.

[@FlyWithKay]

Good guess! My airplane is configured in miles per hour though, so you were close! I use Foreflight😊

[@frodeskibrek]

@@FlyWithKay Config in mph / kmh is rather rare, isn't it? Has it to do with "Little Red's" age? Or a personal choice?

[@anonymous-nobody1]

@@frodeskibrek a lot of light aircraft produced prior to 1974 (I think that is the year) were in MPH, it was often more of a marketing thing as 100knots is 115mph, it sounds better if your plane can do 115 instead of 100. In 1974 the FAA forced manufacturers to standardize manuals etc, prior to 1974 the manual was simply called "owners handbook" after 1974 the organization of the aircraft manual was standardized with specific sections in a specified order and the owners handbook became rename the "POH" or "Pilot's Operating Handbook".
