Her First Time Flying In A Small Airplane!

[@lynskyrd]

this girl is ALWAYS ahead of her plane. These vids should serve as training vids. She knows how to focus and knows WHEN to focus. She's up there with her friend showing her stuff yet she never loses sight of the fact that she's navigating that plane. She went through all the formalities- let her friend know the basic primary emergency procedure- didn't make a big deal out of it but made sure she understood about a sterile cockpit during an emergency and she also explained about no talking when 'the finger' goes up. I'm a student pilot and this, to me, is the gold standard of GA.

[@ss-tx-rx2860]

I have to agree. She's always ahead of the plane, and very humble. I am also an aviator who recently moved to the Houston area. I commented about a specific non-standard procedure that is common at her home drome - specifically the use of the filler phrase "checking in". Like "with you", I was taught that was unnecessary and non-standard, and better omitted. We had a respectful exchange in the KZbin comment section of all places. Aviators aren't known for being the most humble of people. Add on successful social media star, and it's easy to get caught up in your own cult of personality. Kay is a rare exception. Cool to see her going to Stinson, that's where I grew up.

​@RetreadPhoto nope tower had the wrong tail number she heard it .... They said whiskey hers in November...

[@rogerd9150]

I couldn’t have said it better.

[@davidt8087]

It's not that hard shes on autopilot. I'm a pilot. It's not hard. Although for a GA pilot she's just, too torough, which is annoying. What I mean is, she's the type who can give a passenger briefing for the same friend every single time even if the friend already knows. She's the type who lands, get off the runway and onto the taxiway, and pulls out the after landing checklist to check on what to do and still flies like each ride is a checklist or training flight.. Like seriously, you don't need to give a passenger brief everytime, and you don't need to check the checklist for certain things like after landing checklist which I mentioned. Just turn off strobes, raise flaps, and lean for taxi. 3 simple things.

[@davidt8087]

@@ss-tx-rx2860i always say with you. I've been told by many to not use it, so I say with you 60% of the time when checking in with a new approach or center controller

[@nick39]

As a retired pilot… I’m very impressed with this lovely young lady. Her procedures are impeccable! She has fun of course! But you can tell her priority is safety. Great use of check lists! Great briefings also! Oh yeah BTW, she knows how to fly! Keep up the great work! I don’t fly anymore but I would have been honored to fly with you if you’re reading. Stay safe and have fun!

[@louislabbate7412]

You can say that again buddy

[@jamesbaxter2812]

Need to get back in the air, unless there is a medical problem

[@nick39]

@@jamesbaxter2812 I appreciate it. Unfortunately, it is medical.😢

[@davidream136]

This would be a great opportunity for a new student pilot series! The two of you have great chemistry and honest communication.

[@tomb1345]

Awesome idea, I think Kay would be an amazing instructor !

[@jtothekcam]

Agree. Your friend is enthusiastically curious.

[@pwhite2579]

more Allie, please! Would love to watch as you teach her how to fly!

[@harmonised8353]

Allie is surely a contender for loveliest student pilot to enjoy watching and listening to, please bring her back!

[@larrysouthern5098]

Nothing better than taking a good friend FLYING.... YOU GO GIRL!!! 🐦

[@arnoldschmidt2753]

That was nice to see the both of you young ladies having fun with big smiles on your faces a a pocket full of confidence. 😊

[@nca877]

Loved the inclusion of Allie on this one. I was loving the facial expressions but she seemed very cool with the overall flight and seened genuinely interested in learning what the plane was doing and why, that was great to see. Great video as always, Kay!

[@keithgyt]

Kay, that was an amazing video. Your calmness in helping someone who was nervous was terrific. And Allie was just brilliant. On the one hand, she said she was nervous but then took the controls, she declined an altitude change to get out of bumps, asked really good questions and handled radio calls (with such a 'professional' voice). It was really great to see and I would love to see more. Did you video the return trip? 🙂

[@donrotenberry6571]

Thanks for the ride. Allie did a great job on the radio & flying. Allie's expressions made the video awesome.

[@jonathansmith6011]

I haven't seen that much hair in the cockpit since the 1960's.... LOL.... Great clip Kay. Allie just needs a tad bit more stick time!! Thanks you two.

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Just thinking of you this morning Kay, thinking i have not heard from Kay in a bit; and there you are with your friend. She started off "Nervous Nellie" but with your instructions and calm demeanor she settled down and looks like she was having fun, there were some facial expressions that would make good photos :). Great video.. from SE Texas Bear Your focus on safety is impeccable❤💯🙏, and it makes me feel safe watching :)

[@spud1]

Allie is precious too !

[@franksando635]

Kay this video should be up for an Academy Award winner for the best comedy ever her facial expressions are priceless 😂👍🏆

[@jasonvincent1818]

Kay's attitude is so positive, perky and professional. I could learn from her so easily.

[@jennifermichelleswanson3797]

Flying in a small airplane like Lil Red is just like flying in a big jumbo jet, except the plane will take a shorter distance on the runway to take off and to land. Plus, the plane will maneuver a little bit quicker than a big jumbo jet. But Allie should have fun and a good time. Have a good flight Kay and Allie.

[@roy1531]

This was one of your best videos yet and it shows how well of an instructor you are! You should think about doing an entire channel of teaching her to fly!

[@dannymcneal]

Just fun! I would TOTALLY fly with Kay! She’s so focused on all that needs to be monitored and accomplished-while still having a great time. Lots of fatal accidents happen when the pilot fails to monitor the gauges-until it’s too late! Love this channel!!

[@tomb1345]

Would LOVE a series of Kay teaching Allie to fly, Kay would be an AWESOME instructor

[@johnbrooks1269]

Kay your mastery of flight and instructing is a joy to watch and more so when you share it with a novice. Let Allie know it took thousands of years of our envy for what birds do with ease before we climbed into the sky. Also the Wright brothers practiced flying at the crest of a sand dune in a craft they built while being held down by associates holding ropes. Their first powered attempt failed, but on December 17th, 1903 Wilbur sailed into history as the first powered flight. Maybe its time for you and Allie to visit Kitty Hawk. Cheers!

[@pointingdog7235]

Thanks Johnbrooks769, Kay had asked in another video of a place that one of us would like to have a trip with her on here. I would like to see her take a trip to Kitty Hawk.

[@Fiftyx60]

Hey, Allie did a great job! I bet she'll accompany you more frequently now. She's also to be commended for her subtle gum chewing. I chew mine like it's a contest, so I've resolved to stick with hard candy when I'm recording my flights. 😆 Thanks for sharing another great video, Kay!

[@LeapOfFaith121]

I love your channel you're so upbeat . Thank you for the entertainment and the learning too. ❤ 🙏 x

[@delboy1727]

Loved this one Kay. Hope we get to see more of Allie.

[@mikco99]

Overload of cuteness, Kay. Your friend has adorable dimples and a great smile. I love the banter between you two. Thank you for the very upbeat video.

[@1BIGFROGGY]

Yes, a great set of dimples!

[@crooked-halo]

Males, sigh.

[@philipmarsh3522]

You are such an excellent instructor. Found your channel from a video Goose put together and now I’m just taking notes on how you do it - you are a clinic on proper safe flying!

[@edwardstephens247]

You two could pass as sisters!

[@MrNice-gw5dt]

thanks Kay ! lots of fun flying with ya !

[@walk4718]

Guys, most entertaining vid yet. Y’all are just too cute🤩

[@terrancestodolka4829]

Like you're talking through the information on the flight, and even asking your passengers " Questions, Comments or Concerns? " to make sure they are comfortable and if there is a point of concern, that they have... Great presentation of the flight and informing the new passenger.

[@ronb8052]

I'm sure your viewers also had smiles on their faces....I know I did. Kay: you're a great teacher....I also love how you emphasized safety in the cockpit.

[@royfisher9528]

Great job, especially explaining more than usual and letting your guest do the talking to the tower. I think she's hooked.

[@digitalpilotnm]

Kay, as I’ve said before, You are a great Ambassador for GA. Lots of little lessons in this video for fellow aviators to learn on taking a person up for their first time. Even us CFI’s can learn a few things for “discovery flights”. Please keep up the great work and get more of your friends up in the air. Gotta run and get my Arrow ready for a trip to Wiley Post OK now. Blue Skys

[@vitaly6312]

I’m a GA pilot and I still get uncomfortable with bumps. So no worries on being nervous. It just doesn’t feel natural to some folks. I like the little tri delt tatt though!

[@rogerd9150]

Just found this channel. After only a few minutes I could tell Kay is really on the ball so to speak with her flying and procedures. I’d fly with her in a minute.

[@stevecunningham936]

What a fun flight and your friend is adorable!

[@phihz513]

Just got introduced to your channel on Pilot Debrief. What a relief to find a pilot that does it right.

[@jimw1615]

The transformation from unknown to comfortable is wonderful to watch.

Nice flight Kay... Allie is a hoot...she could be a future pilot...you and her were great...

I really enjoyed the video.. Your friend is very cute. I have given so many rides over the years I couldn't imagine how many. Thanks for taking me along.

[@firemedic5100]

That was a great video. Allie actually handled her first flight really good. Have fun at the river walk.

[@bronney]

Kay, what an awesome instructor and pilot. So polite and friendly :) A friendly reminder for Allie, putting on a pair of glasses while wearing over the ear headphones is a skill ;))

[@Jeffpower-]

Next time, consider visiting Boerne Stage Airport instead of Stinson Airport. I own a V-tail Bonanza, and I frequently fly to Houston whenever possible.

[@2acrfirearms270]

I would love to see you train Allie to be a pilot. I think that’d be a great series for both CFIs, students and new pilots. I listen to your run up calls, comms with ATC and planning and have learned so much.

[@retcdnmilengr]

Gotta say Allie is beautiful, facial expressions were awesome! Flying for the first time, she was nervous, great job on the video!

[@Marc-j8i]

I agree with the comments. It's really great to see two ladies having fun with smiles. We have forgotten what fun is and Kay reminds us what the definition of it is. I really enjoy the energy from watching your videos. You are an excellent pilot and how you handled your guest making sure she understood what you were talking about for safety. The plane lil red looks to be in great shape and it looks like you have fun when flying. I really appreciate you sharing these videos as it gives people some info on how people fly planes. And, in your case SAFELY . Thank you.

[@bigdadgo]

You gals had me in stitches and were fun to watch! Thanks!

[@kevinjohnson2024]

I am a huge supporter of flying the airplane to the ground. She didn't chop the power and rush to land. GA aircraft generally have more than enough runway length and i see pilots dive bomb the numbers, chop the power and then porpoise the aircraft down because they have lost some of the effectiveness of the control surface, consequently over controlling the aircraft. Use the propwash and the power to make your control surfaces effective, especially in a low wing, conventical tail config, additionally given her wind scenario. Fantastic job! i will be following this young lady, she makes flying fun and exciting!

[@c.a.nixiii4650]

Balancing competence with cuteness! The lipstick on the mic comment? LOL! So refreshing with recent tragic events!

@FlywithKay, I really enjoyed this video. It was so much fun seeing you and Allie doing the "friend thing," and watching her very expressive facial reactions to what she was experiencing in the moment. I was very impressed with her radio calls; she handled them like a lightly seasoned pro. ;-) You are an excellent teacher, Kay. Your positivity is infectious, and even as I write this, my cheeks are hurting from smiling so much during this video. I thank you and Allie for making the start of my first Saturday of the month a pleasant one. 😊
