I have been following since the beginning

[@VessellNick]

This channel does not get nearly the amount of views it should. Such a great place for AV geeks to learn AND laugh.

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you!

[@JohnLemieux]

I love how excited you get for your students when something goes well. That's a hallmark of a great instructor.

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you! No point being an instructor if you don’t care about your students!

[@andrewliebel]

Really like this series. Lew you are a great instructor and feel this series really shows that off, also,how much fun it can be to teach a student how to fly! Great work so far on this series!

[@LewDixAviation]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying it, and thank you for your kind words!

[@psychastria]

One thing I'd add in the emergency landing training is that when choosing a field, have them look very carefully for any antenna towers or power lines that may be in the area of the chosen field. Anyway, these videos are so much fun! It makes me miss being up in the air all the more.

[@royaldust]

Second language comms is so tough! I remember when my brain used to instantly liquify the moment i clicked that mic button. Besides giving impeccable instructions, the way you make your students feel so comfortable is so valuable! 💪🏻 Thanks for the video! Edwin you’ll be talking like ATC in no time

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you!

[@badubies]

I recently started my flight training in a Piper Cherokee! I'm really enjoying these videos! Keep up the good work!

[@LewDixAviation]

Glad to hear it

[@thesecretsaint8178]

This is coming at a perfect time for me! This is where I am in my training! I’m practicing along with Edwin. Chair flying along with your videos!!!! Thanks for this series Lewis!

[@LewDixAviation]

That’s great!

[@PghGameFix]

It's always great to get those nice landings. I'm 27 years out of date, and just getting back into it... and I crushed a few landings the other day. (ballooned at the last second) It's coming back quick... but I'm mad at myself for how much I lost. I'm flying a warrior, and this vid helped me to "Study" the visual on the landing. Thanks.

[@Kevlux86]

C-a-b-c-d. Start with the Carb Heat, it’s a likely issue, it won’t hurt anything, and it’s FAST to do. If engine gets happy while you launch into the ABCD, you’ve fixed the problem first with one tug before getting too into all the other items. Would be a damn shame to wait til “Checklist items” to fix the issue with one pull. It helped me just last week and so glad I was trained C-a-b-c-d!

[@h2oski1200]

would be a shame to stall on climb out because you didn't lower the nose because you're fiddling with carb heat. I hear what you're saying, as this is a very slow, straight and level training session but train yourself to get the airspeed right all the time every time FIRST. airspeed first. you could easily say the same thing about the fuel pump. the issue 'could' be the engine driven fuel pump so why not click that on real quick. no sir, nail the airspeed first. it seems slow now because, well the dude is training. IRL you'll be doing 12 things at once.

[@LewDixAviation]

I agree with airspeed first and finding a place to land before anything else. It could be a matter of seconds being the difference between landing safely or not. I get the thought process but I’d never teach or do anything before best glide and best field.

[@PiperPilot1976]

LewDix, awesome when he nailed the landing and you got goosebumps!! A true CFI who cares about his students!! Its great to see. New PPL here 3 weeks ago, what a feeling! Nate

[@LewDixAviation]

Nice! Congratulations!

Good job Edwin.. welcome to the club!

[@BlackMatt2k]

Glad you both saved this series, and published it just in time for me getting started.

[@LewDixAviation]

Great timing

[@glennwatson]

I would have asked the tower at 12:50 to "speak slower" as per the standard phraseology. PPS I passed my private pilot test, now just waiting on the paperwork to come through to fly. No temporaries around here in Australia unfortunately.

[@shukifridland4845]

I’m loving your judgments on what to say and when! Amazing job! Love the little celebrations for every successful building block. Excellent!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you 💪🏻

[@boonchua-i9r]

I wish you are my CFI. Thank you very Much. Learned a lot from you. you are the BEST.

[@chriszeitler4613]

The joys and pressure of making your first few radio calls into a controlled field, ahh memories...

[@jameswadsley3165]

Loved your facial expression when he made that greaser of a landing. Great content, as always :)

[@LewDixAviation]

It’s a thrill to see students do great landings! Thanks man.

[@jameswadsley3165]

@@LewDixAviation Have you ever had a student pull up so much that they had a tail strike? That's always the thought running through my head when I hear you tell students to pull all the way back...

[@morganbush7617]

I flew into executive today and had murf in the tower, such a cool guy. Keep up with the awesome videos!

[@LewDixAviation]

Murf is a top bloke.. have you seen my videos with him?

[@dsinha99]

What a fantastic trim job!

[@andypdq]

So next we want to see you become a proper pilot, TAIL DRAGGER. As an aside, I would place you around Burnley or Blackburn, according to the accent. Am I anywhere near? Absolutely love your content, flying cool with Lancashire!

[@LewDixAviation]

Bolton!

[@flyvxy]

Fun memories. I learned to fly in Orlando in 32042 amongst other PA-28 machines. Eli was my initial instructor until I moved to Apopka. Amazing to see they still have to fixed the messed up suncreen. Did they ever paint her? You are as fun as always to watch.

[@garyjohnson1977]

Awesome job so nice to see an instructor that makes learning fun👍

[@Glyrez]

Excellent interaction with your student. You relate very well, allowing the student to soak in the information while being comfortable with the flight. Great series!😃✈️

[@chrisnicklin1992]

Fantastic episode Lewis. Currently a student at EGCB not far from your original neck of the woods. Although I’m sure you’d say wrong side of the M62 right? 😜 Been struggling to finesse my PFL’s so this episode was really helpful as I currently fly the PA28’s. It’s nice seeing it from a students perspective and how we don’t have everything nailed down too efficiently in the beginning. But great to see how the flow of the checks and radio calls worked in the cockpit, etc. Enjoying the series, look forward to the next one. Thanks, Chris. 👊🏻

Love your content. Wish I would have learned to fly years ago. Probably too old to enjoy it now. As a teacher , I love how you relate with your students. Information, correction and reinforcement with positive feedback. Excellent.

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you so much!

[@Saml01]

Age is just a state of mind. Don't age yourself. Go take a discovery flight and see if you want to do it.

Hey lewis even I’m starting my training from 10 june in miami. Love your videos

What kneeboard would you recommend - A5 or A6 ? The one supplied to me is clunky

[@aaronrowland6753]

Awesome job gentlemen! Enjoyed watching as always. Lew, we are gonna need you to move the sun so we can see some of the landings better!

I know man the exposure gets messy sometimes 🫠

6:18 look at that CFI grin. Guessing that XC was filmed before January 11 2022? No, I'm not nerding out on airport diagrams.

I'm only a few classes from finishing Check Ride GS (free), went through Instrument GS. Still have flight school; this will be expensive, hope with taken GS, it will save me $$$. I'm looking for a free simulator that will count for time..

[@jonathonbuchholtz8516]

Hey man love your videos. You seem to have a lot of fun without compromising good instruction. I realize you’ve been doing this for a while now. In your experience what would you say makes a good flight instructor?

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy my videos. I’d say a good instructor is one that is patient, and allows the students to fail. That means not taking controls every 5 minutes when they do something wrong. Let them fail and use words to coach them through. That’s what I try and do.

[@Kenriko]

@LewDix Aviation are you still instructing?

[@Acc0rd79]

Get that man an iPad already:) I Know this video is old but Kevin said buy an iPad on day 1 of training. Said no one uses paper. lol Really helps improve the situational awareness as well. I still like to look at the map and line up lakes etc with the map even though I know where I am. I do hope you are "allowed" to tell us soon which airline you chose, each time I see a Lewdix video I keep hoping at least you will say which you picked even if you can't show us the actual training. At least give us an update when you start or when you will be finished and can reveal it:) Good luck!!

[@LewDixAviation]

The airline thing changed. I addressed it briefly in a video. Everyone does use iPads now, but you have to know how to use paper first in my opinion. Once you’re proficient with paper, then I let you use iPads.

[@trbeme1346]

@@LewDixAviation nicely said. I used paper for all my training and checkride.

[@Saml01]

Ipads are great, but they can also be a huge distraction. Personally, I'm glad I waited to get one before my long xc.

[@brianpencil]

sorry but I want to ask a question what plane is this? sry I'm a noob

[@russellrattys6581]

I did my trial flight in an archer the other week, and one thing stuck in my mind that the cfi taught me, which was, he showed me how to open the door, and told me "if we crash and something happens to me, climb over me to get out" anyone else would have crapped their pants right at that moment
