What Happens On A FIRST FLIGHT LESSON | The Road To FLYING SOLO (EP. 1)

[@45mattress]

Not finished watching it yet, but just had to pause and comment. This brings me back to when I started flying. Fish out of water. Love it. FANTASTIC IDEA.

[@LewDixAviation]

Haha glad it’s bringing you some nostalgia!

[@brianwhite5108]

I wish every CFI, or at least every reputable flight school, would place cameras all over the plane like this and video every lesson so that you can see what you did wrong, what did right, and everything in between. And seeing from the outside of the plane what changes to the controls do to the planes. Even if it's nothing posted, just to have a record would be awesome.

[@trbeme1346]

Even though I am a private pilot, I very much enjoyed watching this video as I still gain some knowledge from it.

[@LewDixAviation]

Excellent!

[@fwoof8480]

I also am a private pilot. Isn’t that crazy

[@orf_av8or303]

Been watching you for years now Mr. Lew. Just started my training in a Cherokee (😉), and if everything goes to plan I’ll be getting my PPL before I graduate high school

[@LewDixAviation]

Nice!

[@carsonknott9884]

Same but I’m in a 152! What grade are you in rn?

[@orf_av8or303]

@@carsonknott9884 I’m a junior, you?

[@carsonknott9884]

@@orf_av8or303 same! Are you planning on flying for a career or are you getting it for fun? Hopefully rn I’m planning on getting at least my commercial license

[@Expung3d_]

It's definitely possible, just gotta stay committed. I got my PPL on my 17th birthday. Best of luck on it

[@therealtomr77]

Been an anxious flier lately so I started watching flight videos to calm the nerves. Stumbled upon your channel and have watched tons of your videos. Not only do I feel better about flying after watching your videos, I’m itching to become a student pilot and buy my own piper someday. Thanks, Lew!!

[@LewDixAviation]

That’s so cool man! Anxiety is normal as you’re learning and certainly before you get behind the controls. Schedule yourself a discovery flight to see how it goes!

[@MrxRecons]

Currently in CFI school watching this to help practice teaching while flying, you do a great job at explaining these maneuvers! Helped me figure out how to teach mine as well

[@LewDixAviation]

Ah thank you! Great to hear it’s helped.

[@martxnmusic]

I’m 20 hours in and your videos help a lot. Thanks Lewis!

[@LewDixAviation]

Great to hear, thanks!

[@rickliquid4075]

Love this!! Wish I’d had it when I started, would have really let me know what to expect. Great work man!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you so much!

[@Mr.Scootini]

30hrs student pilot. This video was awesome! Reminds me of how far I’ve come. Yet I still need some reminders to USE MAI RUDDAH!

[@peacewind-aero]

I flew into 40 hours yesterday with an orange sticky note on my yoke that read; CARB RUDDER TRIM. Not one bit ashamed that I still need that reminder. Every little bit helps.

[@AshKast]

I'm a brand new student with 3 hours under the belt. Looking forward to following along with the series!

[@LewDixAviation]

Fantastic! This series might help you along the way.

[@1abc219]

same here, 2hrs training so far :- )

[@av8or971]

To all the new enthisiasts. Dont give up. The road may be long to get your PPL, but it is Sssooo worth it in the end. The freedoms. Adventures. It is truly amazing

[@Mattymoneyboy276]

Hey Lew, love seeing your talent in instructing on here. The difference between you and young bob flying and briefing RNAV's, your solo IFR stuff and this starting from scratch stuff, really shows off your art. Good shit man. Love from sydney australia

[@LewDixAviation]

Very kind of you to say mate, thank you

[@MrClintonharper]

Wish I had this a year ago, working on my CFI now and this helps as well! Bravo 👏

[@LewDixAviation]

Funny thing is, it was recorded more than a year ago 😲 glad it still helps though

[@bryanwade814]

Awesome video and great idea for a series! Just about to my CFI checkride and these are great examples of teaching. Keep em coming!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks man. 3 episodes out as of now. 4th on the way!

[@Glyrez]

Hey Mano, great job on you instructing! Cool, calm and collected. Professional, yet relaxed! Wow, what a CFI you are!😎👏👏👏

[@LewDixAviation]

Thanks mano!

Bro, you don't even need the video. It's like smooth jazz.

I’m 2,000 hours in. Still gonna watch because nostalgia lol

[@LewDixAviation]

haha it'll take you waaaaay back

[@smhmusic]

Love your “Clear Prop” call.

[@Acc0rd79]

As you saw in my message I was rocking the NEW lewdix shirt today while I was time building around Florida (everyone needs one of the new shirts). You are killing us with these airline teases, just make a video already and let us know what's going on and which place you are going to and when??? Chomping at the bit here!

[@moik145]

This series is AWESOME!!! so far!! Looking to take the leap,& get my PPL soon. GREAT VIDEO SIR!!

[@LewDixAviation]

Thank you!

LOL! Edwin on the very first ATIS was EXACTLY how I reacted. "What the fuck do I write down?"

[@md4droid]

Great video, Lewis. This is so detailed and makes me want to continue my training. Next is Instrument rating!! :) Can't wait for the next in the series.

[@G10v4nn1]

Where do you live? That’s great! I don’t know anyone who soloed at 12 hours. Well done!

@@thesecretsaint8178 Thanks! I'm from Bavaria, Germany. If it were for my FI, I would have had my progress check B with 8,5 hours :D Unfortunately my third covid jab and the weather interfered (we only have a grass strip)...

[@ScaledNotesMusic]

@@thesecretsaint8178 In the UK (and I'm guessing the rest of Europe too since the syllabuses are almost identical) you generally can do your first solo around 12 hours, and you do the check at 45 total. :D

[@russhumphreys6842]

I appreciate your video's and love your instruction technique. I am a new student over in Tampa just getting going and your video's have already helped me.

[@coasternut3091]

Is saying "that endeavor" a clue?

[@LewDixAviation]

No, but I can say that my spirit dropped when I went into the new frontier with the hopes of flying a jet. Blue skies were what I wanted to be flying in, but I decided to venture back to the south west to reassess. This isn’t a psa, but there is a silver lining to my story. Makes no sense but actually it does 😂

[@Oglongs]

do you hate your engine, haha. 1800rpm on start. id love to cut that filter open... crack the throttle like half an in, and increase as necessary, should have to raise the engine slowly to 1000rpm not bring it back from 1800...
