Get this channel to 100k subs! C'mon lads! Tell your mums, wives, friends, your mates, everyone!
Make this happen!
I’ve been here since 5k and I’ve told all my friends to sub just there parents won’t let them get a yt account so they can’t sub
@@captian2044 haha thanks for being here since 5K!
Yeah right!!?? Its amazing how you see kids that have hundreds of Ks even million subs and probably havent been outside their houses, or just play games.... And this here, requires so much more effort, knowledge skills time everything and doesnt get so much attention. Hard to understand...but again these days and these times we re living in, who knows..... Not taking credit of those kind of youtubers but, this is golden
Yes you got one sub here!
"Do a full stop"... something that every pre-solo student wants to hear...
haha
@@LewDixAviation My instructor said ask for the option.
Why is that?
@@grlrepelantI was so confused
@@videogameplayer0552so the instructor can get out of the plane
"There's no one in the pattern" *Looks around* "Actually there's a boat up there." lmao!
Lmao Cessna's
The first time your instructor leaves you alone even though you probably already know what to do, feels so strange and intimidating, of something does goes wrong hes not there to save the day, is definetely different
Love how enthusiastic and proud you are as an instructor man!
If you don't love it then what's the point? Thanks mate!!
Congratulations on your first solo! Well done young man. This video brought fond memories of my first solo....52 years ago. You put a smile on this old mans face. Thanks you!
Nice 🔥
No joke, the editing only gets better!
Oh yeah and congrats Mike!
My heart rate is going up :)
Thanks mate!
I actually got weak knees and goosebumps watching this as if I was doing my first solo again. That was strange.
I'm glad! haha Thanks for watching man!
Congratulations Mike! I knew he was getting close in the last video. He’s a sharp guy.
Great job Mike!!!
There is absolutely no feeling in the world comparable to that moment when you take off for the first time without anyone sitting in the seat next to you. You will remember that moment for the rest of your life!!!
Congratulations again and i wish you many safe landings!!!
I love the goosebumps comment by Lewis, it must also be a strange feeling to let your student go solo for the first time as a CFI...
I hope to experience that feeling somewhere in my aviation future ;-)
It's definitely a weird feeling. Not one that I am used to even having done this many a time! He did a fantastic job!
He absolutely did!!!
Congrats!! You'll never forget your first solo. The rest goes super quick. Enjoy!! Congrats Dix as well! You must feel like a dad whose child just got training wheels removed!!
I was actually more like an overbearing mother. Made him a packed lunch and everything....
@@LewDixAviation at least it was his lunch and not his shorts. He looked like he'd been flying for a long time.
Awesome. I know that feeling.... 41 years back ... 16 years old!
Now for cross country flights! This is where becoming a pilot pays off. Just wait til you do IFR training. Lol
I'm on ifr now lmao whole different ball game
I just seen this and instantly got happy for mike. Congratulations on your solo
My CFI told me when he asks me if I am ready, " I replied get out my airplane!"
Isn't that the "Macho" Hazardous Attitudes they teach about lol no I kid. That's awesome! When you know, you know.
Chef John here! Oh wait wrong channel. Way to go Mike, you landed those like a seasoned pro! You're officially PIC now, make good decisions!
This is what it’s all about , I’ll never forget the nervous excitement , and euphoria after the last landing
Mike's a total professional and you're a great instructor, Lewis.
P.S. Your editing always cracks me up 😂
haha Thanks mate! Glad you like the edits
Congratulations MIKE nothing like solo..... without the CFI the plane climbs and flies so much better..Welcome to the sky’s my brother...Big Rich
You know it’s a big day when Lewis is up at 6 in the morning... bravo Mike!
I've still not recovered
congrats Mo!!!! absolute butter on the landing's as well. 3 points for liverpool tonight ;)
Congratulations! This makes me so happy to see💥
Congrats Mike! Great journey to follow.
Another great video as always, and congratulations Mike on his first solo!
congrats bro
Congratulations Mike, what an excellent memory this video will be! Mikes RT is excellent for a student.
You are one of the best instructors I've ever seen on youtube.
Thank you so much!
Just great! Congratulations!
Congrats Mike! Great series, been fun watching you progress. Keep up the great content LewDix!
Thats awesome! congrats Mike! It was cool to see the process leading up to this day too
Watching your students become pilots is almost like being there. If I had the resources I would move there and have Lewis as an instructor. Thanks for the videos
Glad you like the videos man!
Good Job! Congrats!
That's so cool! COngrats!
Congrats Mike. Not only did you do it, but you did it so we all could watch!
That feeling of your first solo. Priceless.
Congrats mike!!!!!!!!! I’ve watched your progress man. Great instructor. !!
Mike, Nice job. You killed it..
I literally cried watching this! Congrats
Congratulations! Soloing was one of the most happy and. memorable occasions of my life! Keep on flying !
So happy for you man! I can’t wait till I get to solo myself, Thanks for letting me vicariously get my solo early:)
Great accomplishment!!!
Congrats Mike! You look really confident up there.
So glad for Mike! Has been such a pleasure watching him learn and develop. He will be a great pilot

Very confident pilot. He did an awesome job!!!
Another inspiring video! Congrats Mike!
Congratulations 👏 🎉 Mike!!! Awesome teacher 👏
way to go Mike!
Congratulations Mike. Always great to see a first solo (and one accomplished apparently so effortlessly).
Congrats on your first solo!!
I’m going to go solo any flight now. Just perfecting the flare on my landing. I’m so excited and can’t wait for the day!!
I should make a video that day.
Thanks for all your video tips and Inspo!
How did it go?
@@thepenmen22 it went great, I was so nervous. I now have my PPL, and just passed my CPL flight test last month. On the road of time building now lol
@@caitlinkaminski4096 Wow! Congratz!!!! Is your goal ATP with 1500 hours? What's your time building strategy?
@@thepenmen22 yes that’s the goal ! And for time building just doing as many night flights to get the night cross country PIC time as possible ☺️
So dope, can feel that joy, congratz on first solo... ahhhh what a happy moment there for the rest of the life
Always a beautiful approach into ORL over downtown
And great job on the solo!
Congratulations Mike! Lewis your passion and confidence in your students come right through the camera. Well done!
Congrats!
Just saw the video of him coming back a year after. This dude was able to fly perfectly even after such a big break of not flying. Great pilot!
well done mate it's a great feeling!
Congrats Mike! You make it look easy!
Dude congrats! Your videos are awesome and great instructing... keep them coming!
Good stuff! Congrats Mike!!
Congratulations Mike! Great job LewDix!
This video made me so happy. I'm starting lessons soon and I hope my instructor is half as caring as you!
I absolutely love this! Congratulations Mike! I flew back when I was 22 and didn't finish, now back in flight school at 47 and there's no stopping me. It's videos like this that really inspire me. Thank you both for sharing!
Congrats to Mike, your emotions were seen easily in the end when you saw him. I quite got emotional too, wishing you to be on the day of my solo. Enjoyed every bit of this video. Huge love and respect.
4:14: "Just slow down, write it down, read it back"
5:25: * writes nothing down *
Just like my solo, haha
Congratulations!!!!!... Nothing beats the feeling of the first solo... That thing feels like it takes off like a rocket ship with one person in it for the first time...
Congrats Mike - always a great feeling. Lucky you have such a great Instructor :)
Great work
Congrats Mike, well done!! I soloed over 30 years ago and remember it like it was yesterday.
Why? Scary?
Congratulations mike! I love how enthusiastic you are when he gets back, my instructor is cool but not as cool as that and I think that goes a long way in motivating the student as well as the instructor. Again congrats and great video!
I never, ever, in all my days, thought I'd tear up at a Lew Dix video ... so beautiful, man! It's a great feeling when that bird is all yours, or closer to it, at least!
That’s brilliant man! It’s such an emotional and huge moment!
Started crying when ATC said “Don’tworry we got him”.....
Awesome ! Something I will never forget ! Your 1st Solo ! Congratulations 👏🏻 Welcome To The Sky 😀👍🙏🏻❤️
Congratulations, Mike! What a wonderful morning for your first solo.
I know it's been a couple of years since this was posted, so I hope you and your flying career are making great strides. It's been 25+ years since I've instructed (and signed off students), and watching this was such a pleasure.
Brilliant video, and massive well done to Mike :)
Congrats Mike! You nailed it! I just soloed a few days ago. The feeling is incredible, isn’t it? Keep up the great work man!
The more i get into my flight training the more i appreciate your videos. I learn so much and execute during my lessons. Got my solo endorsememt just waiting for the weather to cooperate. Keep up the great content. I know when you start working again itll be harder to post but until then loving the posts
Well done!
Nice work, Mike! Congratulations! You've got a calm and level-headed demeanor, which will suit you well. And, you had a badass instructor.
Great stuff!! Well done👍🏼
Congrats Mike! Such a promising and capable PIC. Can’t wait to get my CFI and be as inspirational of an instructor as you Lewis
I did main a few months ago, the feeling is so amazing, best thing over. Congrats 👏
Congrats Mike! I had a feeling this was coming for a while, and you killed it. Now the real journey begins, enjoy bro.
Also Lewis, loved the segment trying to blog over the engines on the ramp, and you managed to slide in one Cessna joke
Everyone needs an instructor like you
Congrats Mike! You too Lew!
Everyone needs an instructor like Lew
First solos give me goosebumps every time.
I have mine coming up soon and I am nervous and EXCITED! Watching this gave me chills.
