LOL, you didn't scare me. It was a good take off.

If this is a student pilot then I guess this is ok but if this is someone with their ppl then these are the type of instructors that drive me crazy. Even as a student having an instructor constantly talking and telling you what to do drives me nuts. I have had instructors like this and I would tell them to take notes and when we are on the ground we can go over the flight until then BE QUIET. I’m not flying the plane you are “ uggh

Of all the PA28s that I've flown, the -161 is my favorite. But I love the -180 and -181s as well. That said, the Grumman AA-5B is my all time favorite (fixed gear & prop, under 200hp). Agree with the other comments... excellent instructor!

This was a really long flight. ✈️ ❤

Aaayy! First 👏! 😁

If you change your cam shutter speed, you might be able to stop that prop wobble effect. Try 60 FPS.

Could we please use few seconds of this video in another video?

Dam, have you ever heard of a go around? You guys landed with 1000 ft. of runway left. That was crazy scary.

The video of Mt St Helens is beautiful

Awesome to see your progress! Thank you for sharing. It's very helpful, especially hearing the ATC comms.

Flew to Friday Harbor last month for my long commercial XC. Came in high as well had to forward slip it in! Cool little airport

Oh I love your instructor! Cool, clear, timely advice, and upbeat, too. I came to your video because I'm a new PPL trained on Cessna about to check out on a Cherokee. Thanks.

Beautiful. Nice flight. That sky looks amazing.

"Cessna with request" "No" "Okay"

Instead of with request when they answer your initial call just say the request. Call up without the request- otherwise how would they know you're trying to open ifr which is a very different request than when they don't want to bother with vfr flight following.

There flying a Cessna C 177 Cardinal it has a full cantilever wing. Beautiful plane & nice ones hard to find. In production only 10 years. Incredible visibility down & up. Pilot sits almost ahead of the wing.

❤❤ glad you guys had a great flight!

Beautiful views going through the pass at the end! One of your most spectacular videos! ❤ By the way, at 8:00 I've heard it's 70 percent of your takeoff speed by half way. If you are accelerating at a constant rate, your distance travelled is proportional to the square of your speed. So if you are at .707 (square root of 1/2) of your takeoff speed halfway down the runway, you will be at your takeoff velocity at the end of the runway. That actually may not be good enough. I like your 3/4 idea better for this particular field! Even better, find your predicted takeoff roll from the manual and make sure you achieve 70 percent of takeoff speed by the time you reach half of that length. Using half of runway length can be problematic. Say you reach 70 percent of takeoff speed halfway down a 10,000' runway. That probably means you have no climb power when you rotate.

I've always seen that from I-5 and wondered how or why is an air strip so close to the highway. Seems a bight tight but it works, I guess.

That's a scary airport

Still flying the pattern?

Go

Excellent instructor. Nice job with those landings over those trees man! Looks tough.

Is this still accessible?

Great job on those cross wind landings! I can feel the concentration and tension they bring. IFR in IMC is really a rewarding experience, too!

Thanks for sharing the flight! It's super helpful to see the process from uncontrolled fields here. I'm hoping to do the same out of PLU soon for currency, so this is great to see!

Air vents source is from the leading edge of the wing, not the tail

During takeoff I noticed the DG is not correct. They didn’t do a proper run up. Too much aileron movement during the stall initiation. Approach too fast and unstable and flared too high.

Thanks Ed for taking my care of my #1. ❤

That approach looked scary thru the trees.

What about the run-up

I’m so bummed I was sick- I know we have talked about taking this trip since you first started flying. 😢❤

Hello-that's epic ! ;))

I flew a Cherokee 180 for two years after my Private. Loved it. Might wanna work on the camera position....is that a visor in the way? Anyway, fun vid....thanks

9:37 I liked the synchronised headsets-on-dash thing!

Andy love to come out and fly the Cardinal Ed

Thanks, subbed.

❤❤❤❤

I appreciate the unpolished video without the glitz. It shows the progression of someone learning a new type, and general airmanship. And also, the value of a good instructor to sharpen skills. Well done!

Smooth flight with clear skies !!

Glad the rain held off for you!! ❤❤

It's really cool seeing the runway lights as you turn final!

Good job dud dud you are a great pilot

Where were your ceilings this flight?

Looks cold! Cardinals are great. I ferried brand new ones from the factory in Wichita, in 1974. Each had .2 on the tach. Just an engine run-no flight test. Ps; you might want to adjust your go pro and sun visors a little bit, for better viewing.

My guys ❤ I’m glad you had a great flight today.

11:02 pm. Yay!! Hi Grayson and Andy. 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤

That airport is ridiculous!

That is a long haul is an GA plane.
