Still Nervous Flying A PA28? | LewDix Aviation Discovery Flight 2

[@Mannybass]

His reaction after landing made me really happy.

[@AnangryLibertarian]

The thing I like most about you, is your chill attitude. It inspires confidence. When I'm on a regular flight and something makes me nervous I immediately look at the flight crew. If they don't look nervous I know we're good lol. I'm taking my discovery flight tomorrow. I can't wait!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Ah thank you! That’s kind of you to say.. have fun on your discovery flight!

[@chrisbrown05819]

You’re a hell of an instructor!! You have a lot of patience, I think that is the thing that makes a damn good instruction. Former airline pilot here, you’re attitude will get you into some awesome jobs!! Great flying and instructing man!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks mate! I really enjoy helping people achieve their dreams in aviation, which is a big reason I didn’t accept recalls from the airline I was working for.

[@BamaContractor]

Awesome reaction! Congratulations to Seth. He's hooked...

[@LaurenC3]

I did a discovery flight in a PA28 recently, and I think I'm in love. 😍

[@xkernalsandersx]

This is the only time I'll say that I wish I lived in Florida. You seem like such an amazing teacher and friend to these people ❤️❤️

[@landonkey236]

As an active CFi, I have a huge appreciation for Seth and how LewDix is handling the training with him. It is obvious this guy has studied up before ever touching the controls, and his CFi can quiz him a little bit more, and let him FLY a little bit more, than the average joe. Awesome video and great insight!!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks mate!

[@coreyjordan2745]

DUDE! that was great landing. wow. awesome. Thanks my brother. I have to watch that again.

[@erikhines7017]

Make sure you get all of his flights on film, let us experience his progress together. My kind of flyer.

[@PastorKwangle]

I LOVED his landing enthusiasm! This was a great video to watch - thanks for sharing it!

[@elik1491]

"If I die then she's gonna kill me" I mean that couldn't make any more sense could it

[@losersquadhd1234]

this guy is soooooo calm. I need that.

[@curtishamlin7236]

had my discovery flight today in NC! Nerve wracking on a hot bumpy day...but exciting. First lesson next week!

[@RaspySquares]

My man had that death grip. Light touch usually soothes the nerves, just a few fangers. Good shit.

[@LtGunz]

...low wing the way to go...nice video...wheels up!

[@CaptainProspect007]

His reaction to landing was gold!

[@Q1776Q]

Lew: "I want you on the pedals"....... Seth: "I thought this thing had an engine."

[@markbennett9043]

Need more. Seth

[@spencerneilsen7047]

Freaking awesome job. I was a super nervous flyer at first so I can totally relate. It gets better with more time! You’re a natural!

[@marsgal42]

The approach and landing reminded me of the first time I landed a PA28. Downwind at 110MPH, things are happening fast, I comment "I don't know about this...", with the cheery response from the right seat "That's what I'm here for!"

[@garyfindley3933]

Best direction I have gotten on trim and airspeed for landing I have heard from anyone. Thanks Lew

[@LewDixAviation]

Fantastic! Thanks man

[@Algrimor]

His studying and dedication will pay off. He is a great student, great attitude and knowledge of the concepts. He will be a pilot one day soon!

[@rodneycattoor8848]

Loved the landing. Great job for just the second discovery flight

[@randc47]

Loved his reaction after that landing!

[@laibazahid986]

Amazing landing. Lovely.like his reaction after landing.

[@onepalerider]

I like this Seth guy....his reactions are a lot like the ones I had when I first started....and he's a vet with some cool tattoos. Great video!

[@jan3195]

Another great video, Lewis - keep the Seth series going!

[@thomasgkman]

I'm about to go for my first ever PA28 discovery flight in a few hours myself here in the UK... I'm so excited and nervous at the same time!

[@harrisongould9460]

His landing reaction made me jump...looking forward to seeing him work toward his 'ticket'...good luck.

[@terencecottington4273]

Well done Seth....

[@dannysea1688]

I’m getting rdy for my second flight lesson today, hoping to get a try at landing! This pt.2 video just made me super excited to be back in the air thanks so much for everything you do and all the content you put out for us brotha!

[@LewDixAviation]

Great to hear that you enjoy my content! Appreciate you watching!

[@kdub-1200]

I was nervous too my first few times, and I just passed my checkride two days ago!

[@LewDixAviation]

Congratulations!!

[@tomcorwine3091]

Nice!

[@OrlandoemCasa]

Landing reaction was great. Keep going Mr Student, you're in great hands been helped by Lewis.

[@Nathan-do2jt]

I'm about to go for my CFI initial ride in the next week or so, and that reaction after landing got me so excited to start teaching. I definitely want to try and have that same energy on my flights.

[@stephenrobinson8250]

Lew, really like your personality. You seem like a guy most people would want to have a beer with. If I ever make it to Florida I'll book a flight with you. I have had my license for a very long time now but would still be happy to spend an hour or so in the air with you. Well done!

[@LewDixAviation]

Ah thank you very much for the kind words man! If you find yourself in Orlando we can make that happen!

[@farmgene]

@@LewDixAviation I’ll buy a round if it’s the three of us. If all your subscribers show up, my wallet is empty…

[@prodigalbrock]

This is why I wanna train with lew... his attitude is perfect for me to have as a teacher.

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks man

[@Eric.S06]

That was awesome. More Seth videos please.

[@StuartRedman1]

that controller was shredding. You love to see it.

[@MrBossCav]

I empathize with what he is going through. I am about 45hrs into my training and I struggle with my confidence around flying solo. I have the same issues about intrusive thoughts and fear of f*cking up with catastrophic consequences. I would love to follow Seth's training to watch him build confidence. Please continue to post his journey if you can!

[@N9197U]

Trust me, I had the same thing. Flying solo for the first time was more of a "don't think about it, just do what you've done 50 times before". That got me through it, but I must admit that on that first cross-country, that's when you really have time to think about it.

[@trbeme1346]

This is a great video. Seth is really serious about getting his license. Has he completed ground school already? He seems to be able to answer many of the questions asked along with have a basic understanding of what to do. I enjoy his commentary as my statements are quite a bit like his. Next time right before takeoff and after runup ask him if he let his girlfriend know he was flying. One of the best videos. Keep it up.

[@alex7344]

Watching you chills my nerves man. Literally leaving in 10 minutes for my discovery... Got pushed back from monday

[@LewDixAviation]

How did it go?

[@alex7344]

@@LewDixAviation winds were 18009G20KT. I'm a big guy so the Warrior was cramped and pretty much felt unstable in the seat from the start. 😂😂 Super bad wind sheer from takeoff to 2500 and then again at 3500. All that combined i just decided to head back after about 20 minutes in the air. THAT SAID, I am so glad for the experience and the crazy bumps aside it was super cool up there. I think I just need to go back on a day that isn't gusting to 20kt 😅. And perhaps try a plane where my ass isn't hanging off the seat if I can find it.

[@FamilyFlyouts]

love it, put a big smile on my face when you landed!

[@ehuntley83]

That reaction when he landed is how we all feel, but we’re too timid to actually let it out. More of us need to be like Seth 😁

[@camsmeltzer9388]

Nice job!

[@rickdarnley6853]

Nicely Done!

[@samerqanadilo6698]

Funniest reaction for T/O! So apparently he says that everytime….? Lol

[@commanderpip8350]

That was awesome

[@cavok1984]

Best landing reaction...ever!

[@LewDixAviation]

It was great to be a part of!

[@dumpersr3738]

Awesome!

[@md4droid]

That Sh^& even made me say F%$# YEAH!!!! Excellent video as always, Lewis. Great job on your 2nd flight, Seth! Makes me wanna take another lesson today!!!@

[@ashleyjohnson5688]

Happy vibes from that. Stoked. We gonna get to watch his journey if he carries on?

[@Kevlux86]

That is SUCH a good feeling. Can’t wait to get my PA-24-250 out of annual!

[@wingleberry1]

welcome back, Lew!

[@Kujjiman]

If there's one thing this is video reinforces to me, it's to definitely make sure I pass my written before I fly for the IFR rating. It looks like such a relief to know exactly what to do in a plane when you get up there haha

[@JordanSmithFilms]

You’re a great instructor, man. Keep up the good work!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks man!

[@robindoulton7220]

Watches LewDix videos.... instantly looks at aircraft online booking page... spots a free aircraft... turns off the computer and goes flying..... you are going to cost me a lot of money with these videos :D

[@LewDixAviation]

HA! YES!

[@StuartRedman1]

this dude is the perfect student how does this man exist?

[@bena6575]

12:15 I think this is my favorite moment in a bit haha

[@usernameunknkown]

Yo we all need a controller like that in our lives. Dude needs to get on Cameo, or record my voicemail message.

[@locatingwizard9301]

3:17 why was that takeoff clearance soooooo..... personal?

[@LewDixAviation]

That controller is one of the best haha

[@WhiskeyAlphaPilot]

love ti!!

[@jameswadsley3165]

Loved this video! So happy to see you get to share the love of aviation with people who enjoy it so much. Why do your cameras keep dying? Battery? Do you use the Gopro battery backpack?

[@LewDixAviation]

Glad you liked it! Sometimes they overheat and die but recently, on several occasions they have recorded everything perfectly fine but then when I go to turn them off, the camera malfunctions and freezes the video. It's really frustrating. I'm going to be looking into alternative cameras.

[@JetlinerX]

Hey Lew! My checkride is tomorrow morning and I need a classic Dix quote to help my nerves - lay it on me!

[@LewDixAviation]

In your passenger briefing to the DPE: 'These are the flight controls... Refrain from touching them while I fly as passengers have been known to lose fingers' .. Then pull out a ziplock bag with a fake finger in some ice... It's a foolproof comedy bit which will ensure you pass your ride.

[@JetlinerX]

​@@LewDixAviation omg I'm doing it and Ill advise you of the resuts.

[@JetlinerX]

@@LewDixAviation I passed, but he didnt laugh at the joke! I was shocked.

[@Shaneepe1]

great job man!!!

[@aquilotti1987]

i like this guy

[@N9197U]

Interesting! What are the pros and cons of doing the power on stall at a lower power setting than full? I was taught to do them with full power, after slowing to 60 knots. It's interesting to see it done a different way than I'm used to.

[@LewDixAviation]

It’s a discovery flight so no need to go through full power on stalls yet. I have however seen DPE’s asking for less than full power on the power on because the Cherokees in particular just keep climbing haha

[@N9197U]

@@LewDixAviation Awesome, thanks for the reply! Full power stalls, especially in the near empty 172, are pretty fierce when that nose drops. Seems like we're around 40 degrees nose up when the stall occurs, and that nose drops really fast!

[@MrAndyml]

Mostly flying the approach and landing in a “discovery flight” is pretty baller.

[@John170B]

You ever think about going back to the he airlines especially now with the huge shortage and pilot pay threw the roof?

[@alk672]

After my first landing I was more like "thank God I won't have to do this again for a bit"...

With that reaction on landing I think Seth will be your next student 😀. Just need to make sure to tell the girlfriend before welcome to the sky.

I can relate to his texting his girlfriend….my wife kisses me with a “‘hope I see you again’ kiss when I go flying…”
