. The Flight Training process is going well with student pilot David. We’re getting real close to solo, which means he’s to the point where he’s flying the airplane well. Of course the Cessna 172 isn’t that difficult to fly, but it’s still great to see his progress through his flight training.
The Alaska winter is also settling in here at Angle of Attack. The mountains are a beautiful white, and the colors are impressive. We’re enjoying having the NEW HANGAR that is so warm and wonderful.
And it’s the perfect day for a flight!
0:00 Intro, Eagle by Taxiway, Runup
3:45 Back in the Saddle
When you’ve been away from flying for several weeks, it’s good to go up and do some basic air work. As simple as this seems, it helps get the pilots thoughts and flying skills back. Here we work on holding altitude while doing turns. And, the scenery ain’t half bad either.
We call this learning to fly by recency. When becoming a pilot, it can be difficult to retain enough to make progress unless you’re flying often.
Thankfully in David’s case, he’s been doing plenty of angle of attack online ground school and other things to keep his mind fresh. But he did need some air work.
6:36 Finding the Steeps
On the last lesson, the steep turns went quite well with Steep Turns. Let’s see how well David retained that information, and see if he can nail a couple down.
The sight picture in the cockpit is much different turning one way or the other. It also takes some getting use to the power settings, how much pull there is, etc. He continues to improve on his steep turns, and I think today we did a great job.
The Cessna 172 is pretty easy to fly, but these steep turns are difficult for people to grasp.
11:46 ABC’s of Emergencies
David doesn’t know what’s coming… and I want to start preparing him for emergencies. Especially before going solo, it’s an important lesson.
Here’s the break down:
A - Aviate or Airspeed. Find your best airspeed for glide, and keep the aircraft flying well.
B - Best place to land. Remember it could be behind you, and you should keep evaluating as you settle down and figure things out.
C - Checklist. This should happen naturally anyway. What made the aircraft engine stop? It’s probably a fuel issue, and you should be troubleshooting right away.
D - Declare an emergency with someone, anyone, especially someone that knows where you are. Keep it short and to the point, and get extra help if needed. Don’t be too prideful about doing this.
E - Egress. Plan for getting out of the airplane after a successful landing. Pop the doors, tighten seatbelts, etc.
14:40 Enroute Arrival
One of the more difficult things for students to grasp is how to enter the pattern after coming from a different area. I call this an enroute arrival. It moves quickly, and takes staying ahead of the aircraft.
You’ve got to stay ahead of the airplane first of all. And you’ve got to plan slowing down the airplane, doing your checklists, watching for other airplane traffic, and flying the traffic pattern properly.
18:35 Knocking Off Rust
After being out of it for several weeks, now it’s time to see how much David has retained on some of these landings.
You’ll see us doing a few repetitions here. David is doing great in the traffic pattern, and is flying the Cessna 172 well. Flight training is an up and down process, but he’s been doing awesome.
23:45 Flying with the Senses
Now I cover up the instruments, and we’re going to drive home the idea of attitude flying, and flying with the senses and power settings.
When you learn to fly, you’re stepping into a new world that humans weren’t meant for. Our whole body and our senses lie to us. But that can be overcome with practice, and it’s clear that David is doing a great job as a student pilot.
29:30 Power Off Approach
Earlier we did a simulated engine out emergency, and now we’re going to emulate that in the pattern. Doing this approach before first solo can show the student just how well some (not all) airplanes can glide, especially these trainers.
These are all procedures that are important for students to at least see. While they may not be able to do commercial pilot level power off landings, it’s still important they be able to do it just in case.

I like the paint strip on the nose of the airplane. Helps to align with the runway.
I hope the eagle taught you guy's something, "Poop before you take off"!!!
I absolutely like the CLEEEEEEEEEEAR !!!
The Other Rudder!!😂
Had me lol
Doing incredible for the 5th lesson! I miss that scenery every day so it’s great to see it from the sky.
Yes, he's doing a great job!
Great job David. I struggled a bit with those steep turns as well. My instructor taught me to lock in a part of the cowling and lock it with the horizon. That really helped a lot. Thanks Chris for taking us along for David's training. Looking forward to more of these.
Glad you're enjoying it!
David is killin' it! It's so fun to see the progression of your student.
These videos are the best, keep them coming!
Enjoying watching these lessons.
So stoked you got into a hangar, Chris - congrats!! 23U has to be a much happier airplane. Thank you for keeping the excellent content flowing, and a merry xmas to you and yours.
Awesome Job David. I did my first unassisted landing the other day after my Slow flight lesson. Feels great.
Great episode! Today was my first unassisted landings also. Love watching these videos! Chris has great pointers. Keep em coming!
Thanks for the great video! Looks like I'm at right around the same stage of flight training as David, so it is really cool to get another perspective.
Hey Jason, Sadly I can only give this video 1 dew claw up. There was a noticeable profound lack of CLeeeEEEaaaaAaRR
Hey. It’s pretty good, come on!
Hey Chris. Really nice job of working and encouraging your student. I’d like to see his reaction to a go around while on final. I still remember the amount of forward pressure required to keep the nose down and gain speed. Thanks for the good work.
Chris, great video and the scenery is just spectacular especially compared to the Midwest. I really liked how you warmed him up, that works for me so glad it is being taught. Once my wife okays an aircraft purchase warming up after 3 weeks will no longer be a problem. Wish me luck!
Love the videos, Chris. Thanks for doing this and letting us that can't take lessons from you learn from you! Great stuff as always!
Glad you're enjoying it!
Very good movies! Great job!
Learn from the Eagle and always poop b4 takeoff!😁✈👍
Love the way you and Apollo say CLEAR!
Great job and I love it. Whenever you upload a video about flight training, I really want to watch it immediately. I'm an Atpl student. Although I'm at theoretical knowledge of the training, your videos give me valuable lessons. Keep going with your wonderful job.
NICE work David! I'm enjoying being able to follow along on your journey.
He's doing great.
Dude is dialing it in! Amazing work!
He is!
Chris, nice job on the video. Looks like David is really getting the hang of it. Good job on the teaching. My CFI like you liked to teach steep landings. Finally got out to do a little practice in my new to me Archer. Put down 4 nice landings. Really seems to like more flaps then my old Cherokee. Weather here in Upper Michigan has not been good for flying the last month. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
Congrats on the hangar!
Wow, what a nice scenery. Would love to learn to fly there.
Awesome place to learn to fly
Good flight.
great video!! Merry Christmas😁😁
Thank you! You too!
Great videos!
I did 3 unassisted landings on my second lesson… I didn’t realize that was uncommon until after when my instructor told me 😊
I don’t know if you’ve done a video on this or not, but I think it’d be interesting if you covered the topic of engine problems on takeoff and mountain flying. Loved the vid!
That does sound like an awesome topic!
I had a brain lock for the longest time on steep turns. I got into the habit of kinda snapping in the bank, so I'd hit my 45 out of shape. Smooth, coordinated entry and exit and getting my head out of the plane, made a world of difference. I had 4 instructors over a year of flight training, and most preferred tight, steep circuits...except when it was really cold...just to prevent shock cooling the engine.
It's been about 2 decades since I was flying regularly. Hopefully in the next month or so, I can get back into the saddle. In the meantime, I dusted off an ancient computer and equally ancient Xplane 9 to shoot approaches in IMC, to get some instrument practice. I may never get my instrument rating, but I'm doing what I can to keep from being a 'continued flight into IMC' statistic.
Great to hear you're getting back into it! Make sure you're subscribed! IFR stuff coming soon.
great job
Thanks
woh mountains
Yup!
Muito legal é nós tamos aqui no seu Canal parabéns pelo 🕭🔔✊🖒 Vídeo amigo é nós
Chris is your turn coordinator inop? Lol. It looked pretty level during those steep turns! 😆
HMMMM. Overhauled recently. I'll have to check.
Thank you Chirs :)
You bet!
Steep turns are difficult, unless you use trim to assist with the nose. My instructor taught me to trim up while turning, and to take out trim while levelling off, it was not that hard once you got the hang of it...trim helps keep the nose on the horizon.
Here!
Here also.
Great video, keep it up. Chat died before the drawing. Congrats to all the winners.
Darn! I didn't draw your name, no worries.
@@angleofattack lol, I am not worried, well not too much. Enjoyed the live chat. I hope to participate again sometime again.
Hi Chris, I'm a low time student who on my second flight my CFI demonstrated, actually had me perform an engine fire procedure. We had plenty of altitude and when I recovered he instructed me to gently pull back on the yoke, you know to keep the wings on the airplane. I'm currently on a COVID pause in my training but I would love to see how you teach and show that maneuver. Blue Skies - Tony
David is learning alot, i wonder where he is at now with his flight training. It seems hes having a bit of trouble with flair but his power management seems good.
Amazing. What is the definition steep turn? The second landing was beautiful. Can you please do something on radar control especially during turnings?
Made it over from IG live vid!
Thanks for coming!
The video production quality has gotten so damn good - is that Mrs. Palmer? But David's CLEEEAAARRR screech is better than Chris's
:-p
Is David a speedwing pilot? I'm in the same boat. I've been speedflying/speedriding for over a decade, and just started pilot lessons a couple months ago. (and bought a 182 too!) Cool. Edit:sorry, typed this comment before he mentioned being a paraglider.......we fly wings with a limited amount of energy so we become good at best glide, energy management, and even the flare is similar to a plane as you're simply dissipating your energy with both. It does translate pretty well. Is there a reason you don't start AND end your radio call with "Homer"? Probably not an issue there, but good habit to get into in more congested aviation areas. Your editing seems to keep getting better. Nice vid
Same question here - I was taught to end with the airport name in case someone tuned into the frequency in the middle of your call
Covering up the airspeed indicator on final is kinda ballsy
Hey how's the 4pt harness with the inertia reel? Thinking of doing that to my 172.
What is your opinion on doing training on a PC simulator like P3D or MS FS 2020? Is it better to not fly at all for 3 weeks or should a student pilot spent some time in a simulator ? You can also learn/train ATC communication if you logon to online ATC network like IVAO or VATSIM
May as well spend some time in a simulator. It’s helpful. But it can also be hurtful when it comes to flying skills, in some spots. Overall I think it’s a big plus.
Good for learning scans, procedures, talking on the radio, not that great for learning to fly. It just doesn't feel the same at all.
Question: If one takes your online ground school & passes your exams, do you offer the required certificate to take the FAA written exam?
I would like more information on forward slips.
Being a skydiver first I find that I have a steep approach. Unless I land like I'm flying my canopy my landings are uncomfortable. Not saying unsafe just uncomfortable for me.
I need help on stalls, spins and turns
You're doing spins in your training? We go over stalls in other videos.
🌏🕭🔔
Does anyone have a good technique for maintaining centerline? I’ve been told if sitting in left seat, you can line up your right knee with the centerline.
I was taught to keep center line between the legs. That seems to work pretty well for!
It goes on the right of your leg if you're sitting on the left. And it's really only right pressure on your foot, releasing and increasing, to maintain centerline.
@@oliviarotstein408 Not in a side by side! But in a cub, yes.
Thanks! I’m going to try this.
*07:30** In case of Engine failure where can u guys glide to* !? 😳😳
There are really nice beaches I’ve landed on just below us.
Why are you teaching full stall landings? What are downsides to coming in with little extra power? Same on takeoff, why not let it roll out and take off with little extra speed? Not discrediting, just a few questions I
have as a fellow pilot.
What are the requirements to have you train me for flying I'm very interested
Later for single engines and large bodies of water.
The road looked a lot better than the beach what do yall think
Still don't think I'm flaring enough on my landings. Even tho I feel like I am holding it off, the videos look like I could do a lot more to keep the nose up.
look how many subscribers you have
Really depends on the plane.
Where's the giveaway?
It was in the live chat.
Anyone else notice how out of balance that left rear tire is?
Put er on the road or beach for real more hands on practical emerg training nothing will save your life better then practical application and experience real life training has to offer dont be scared just find a good road to land on and just do it
Don't nit pick too much yet
Landing. Low hour student pilot.
3 weeks... try 3 months, god do we all hate covid
Slow flight
Y talk to much.
