Instrument Training in a vintage 1957 Cessna [with ATC Audio & Garmin Avionics]

[@michaeldeckert6023]

Appreciate you allowing us to watch! No one realizes unless you've done it how tough that training is. It's going to make you a far better pilot because of all the hard work.

[@nigelappleton2963]

Love the way you two work as a team. Hope it lasts you throughout a long a happy life together.

[@randytingen]

Mindy, you’re an awesome instructor.

[@stevekinney66]

Great job Kevin! You make it look way easier than it is. Always nice to have such a great instructor too!

[@brianburchart7592]

Wow! Those wing camera shots, with the reflection in the polished wings and fuselage, are stunning. Thanks for your efforts and passion ❤️🛩️

[@tucksmith8300]

You’re a good flight instructor Mindy

[@ryang3633]

Congrats Kevin !! Mindy, keep making him sweat !!

[@Sebastopolmark]

Kevin is a great student. Fly the plane and learn as you go. Mindy has a calming technique which helps to lower the stress level "a bit". Looking forward to the next one. Carpe Diem! !! !!!

[@healerf18]

Great video. Although I loved the precision flying during my instrument training, I found it all a bit overwhelming. But then one day it all came together and with a bit more polishing, I was ready for my checkride. You'll do great Kevin. And Mindy, love your teaching style. Thanks for posting.

[@Schmiiindy]

I was the exact same way!!! Luckily his ATC background and tons of flying with me over the years helps. But I was just like you. Total nonsense for me until it finally clicked 😅 THANK YOU!

[@peteroberts1420]

Nice work Kevin, especially for an "abnormal" student. Thanks both for another lovely video.

[@stevolene]

Kevin is a very smart young man with a gorgeous instructor, it’s a win win , roll tide

[@bobballard5551]

I really like how you explained to your husband how to land. Watch the numbers, get car height, then look down the runway. I've been going over that in my head so much. I was told to look down the runway when I cross the threshold. It didn't work that well for me. You confirmed what I needed to do is look at the runway until I round out then look down the runway. Works very good for me. Thank you!!

[@Schmiiindy]

Yesss exactly!! So many students don’t realize when to make that transition of your eyes from the numbers to end of runway. Once you nail that, the landings become so much better and consistent

[@ThomasHornblow]

Great work Kevin!

[@Bobstern]

It takes a great student to be a great teacher. Mindy, you outdid yourself here. You apparently were and definitely are respectively.

[@DustMite-s5u]

Good job Kevin you are awesome buddy hope you are both well phil

[@MyAviationDose]

Great flight, another piece of art video ! thanks for taking us Schmiiindy! Your channel is a great inspiration :) greetings from Germany, EDMG

[@jackrolfson312]

Always fun to watch.Thank you for sharing.

[@kmg501]

Nice landing.

[@davidendsley2391]

The one thing that makes this amazing is we will have another ATC controller that’s also a pilot that knows what is going on in the cockpit when he is talking with pilots, he’ll be able to visualize the potential problems the pilot may have while in IMC. Thanks for sharing, your videos are so informative. 😊❤

[@Vantage79]

Such an awesome looking plane!!! Thanks for showing your training. I always wanted to see someone do this. Gusty!

[@rabh6746]

A great teacher and a great pupil, not to mention the stunning Mojo👌

[@airjay530]

Your videos are always great! Thanks for sharing.

[@Boodieman72]

So odd to see Mindy not in the left seat. Kudos to Kevin!

[@Schmiiindy]

Agreed. Back to normal on the next video 😂🤣

[@robtebay2]

Such a beautiful plane.

[@ThePudgie123]

Yes, make Kevin sweat! Thanks for the ride.

[@tomnorman2668]

Good job!!!

[@skyepilotte11]

Nice work Kevin!

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍

[@paulg2132]

Great landing! Greased it 🙌

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Good job Kevin👌🙂

[@slp1111]

great video

[@mikercflyer7383]

Good job fun following the two of you. 👩‍❤️‍👨

[@Vantage79]

Mindy, I can't believe you busted Kevin on the head while he's trying to do this! ;-)

[@spwb2k]

23:30 = like Butta!

[@francispaul5621]

New to the cannel, great video. Is there something special about the glasses Kevin is wearing?

[@butchroberts3003]

Enjoy the video!

[@chrisbullock9652]

I am not sure, but is your name Mindy? You mentioned being based in Atlanta. Did you work for an airline? Kevin, great job. You have a real leg up knowing the radio end of things. Keep up the great work. Really enjoy the videos.

[@SMButler]

I still remember the first takeoff under the hood.. Never saw the runway after the start of the run.

[@bigdadgo]

When is Schmiindy gonna buy a jet?

[@csm6499]

Hi Guys. I have a 1956 Model. Would you mind sharing your leaning process. My method is not to use Lean assist bc of concerns re "red Box' CHT Temps, so with this old engine's poor carby distribution I simply lean to "Rich of Rough" and ensure CHTs stay below 400 but preferably below 360F. I also pull the throttle out to crack the butterfly and add a touch of carb heat to atomise the fuel. (Anyway I get a flow of about 48litres/hr at 6000'). Would love your comments. Thank you

[@ryanawilson8549]

How close is the prop to the ground? It looks like it just barely misses from that angle.

[@lynwoodjones]

❤🙌🤘

[@stevee8884]

Wow, look at the old ashtray and cigarette lighter. Haven't smoked in thirty years!

[@carlosarroyo8731]

Is your cessna 182 repainted and had a different n number?

[@junetebarts1334]

Just a question - why are you telling him how to land (right rudder - keep it up, keep it up), when I assume he's a private pilot working on an instrument rating

[@Schmiiindy]

He had been having trouble getting consistent smooth landings and asked me to help him get to the next level of butter landings!!

[@kmg501]

That is a really nice looking plane, how come you don't use ratchet straps? Those would seem to be faster and easier than rope.

[@Schmiiindy]

Those are the ropes that the place we stayed over night had already tied into the ground. Although they match, they were surprisingly not my ropes 😁

[@Thepilot-C182]

As I am watching this in front of mine

[@kmg501]

I wonder how those foggles work. How do they obscure the outside world and not the display instruments?

[@Schmiiindy]

That’s correct!

[@kmg501]

@@Schmiiindy Yes but how do they do that, lol. 😛 It seems like they would obscure everything, not just the outside world.

[@gorgly123]

There is an area on the foggles that is clear that you can see through and see the instruments.

[@kmg501]

@@gorgly123 Ahh thank you. Apparently the clear area doesn't present well on video.
