They all look chill once they're on the cockpit that's why their students learn immediately to the lesson given. (I'm a student pilot too from Philippines)
As a fellow student pilot, I think you did great! Just one thing, it looks like you created a lot of pilot induced turbulence by constantly moving the yoke back and fourth like that, just let the plane fly itself and it’ll be easier.
That’s exactly the advice my instructor gives me....he always says stop jerking the yoke so much and relax and let the plane fly and stop flighting it. Nice video
TheRoyalCastle The plane can fly just fine it is the pilots job to gently nudge it to the direction he wants to go at the airspeed and power settings within the envelope.
I like how everybody here in the comments apparently know better how to do it. Sure it wasn’t perfect but that’s why you learn and take an instructor with you. All of it was safe and perfectly acceptable for a student. From an ATPL student, well done 😉
It helps me as a student pilot to watch other student pilots. It goes to show how much time and effort new pilots (like myself) spend on trying to learn and retain a lot of new information in a time and how we’re constantly being nervous and meticulous and eager all at the same time. I think flying is overwhelming for these reasons for a lot of new pilots but like anything else, with time, it all becomes easier to manage. It’s all a mental game. Sidenote: I flew to Danbury once. Very interesting airport with all of the extremely close terrain factors. And watch out for Hotspot #4... that displaced hold short line gets a lot of pilots every year.
A very good and calm flight instructor. I used to have an old school flight instructor who used to fly DC-3s and other tailwheel airplanes. He used to pressure me on landing exactly on the runway centerline.
Great video. As a retired Grade 1 Instructor, it is so good good to see someone pursuing what will hopefully become their career. I used to be able to dance those aircraft down the strip on any one wheel.
Great video! You and your instructor both look like great guys and I noticed how well both your communication with ATC and your landings were! I’m doing my first landing tomorrow!
Oh that there-ah sight pick-char... haven't flown in 5 years and FS2020 has reminded me. Great vid thanks! I love seeing people throwing Cessnas around the runway, reminds me of me.
Excellent Again...I really enjoyed the talk through the Pattern...A Great Refresher for me...I liked your little airplane demo...so Ocala...LOL....Willis Sutherland
U did a great job there,my instructor told me the same thing not to play with controls so much just watch my speed and height during approach and once u cross the threshold just give it a bit back pressure and hold it it will just touch down smoothly👍
People just don’t understand how hard this is or they forget what it’s like to be a beginner student. Literally like the moment you’re riding a bike and it clicks and you can suddenly stay upright. Landings are so difficult at first. And they still come back to bite you. This kids probably an airline pilot or something now, LOL
I am used to flying the 172N, so that advancing mixture during the startup caught me off-guard! In the "N" model, you set the mixture to full rich before and leave it that way for the startup. I had to look up the 172R POH, only to find that the startup was exactly as it sold be! good job on your flying and landings btw, I can see you made good progress.
This is cool! Im just a line guy lol but every day i see students with instructors and sometimes here students complain about how the instructor doesn’t boost morale, in this occasion I can say you got an amazing instructor with you
Excellent work I had the bounce and late flare issue and my instructor wise old owl he was got me to do 2 approaches and percieve my position 1 ft of the ground.On the third approach smooth as no bounce of the black stuff.
Haven't started lessons yet but these vids have me pumped! Always loved planes but never learned to fly even when I was in the AF. Go figure!! Want to begin next year. Maybe move to Alaska and become a bush pilot, HA!! Great state!! Spent 2 years there when I was in the AF.If you haven't been, put it on your bucket list. You won't regret it!! Oh yea, not this time of year!! Even Anchorage, where I was stationed, has received record amounts of snow!! Ya'll fly safe and God bless!!
Same, just started ground school and going to complete that, along with the written test before i begin flight training. So so very eager to get in the plane, but i know i jeed to take this one step at a time
I am also 16 (turning 17 on Wednesday). Student pilot and going to my solo in about 2 weeks here in Norway! :) Great video, fly safe! See you in the cockpit one day. ;)
I learned to fly at KDXR! Great airport to practice landings at. Tough approach over the hills. I have since moved to Florida and flying in over flat land is just a little easier lol
You did a good job keeping it straight putting it down.. You Forgot to check for suction and to pull carb heat on your run up though.. Both pretty important when flying and should be on that check list.. DONT rush through your checklists... They may save your life..
Man amazing work on the last landing! I have the same exact issues with my landings. I tend to not flare as much. Watching these videos help me reflect on my own landings.
@@LuisDiaz-rp1ei Insane to think I commented 2 years ago. Unfortunately due to covid, I had to stop, but I will be going back full time in August. Looking forward to it. How's your training been? Did you finish your PPL?
Hey great video! I am at this same point in my flight training and I have been having some hard landings. It’s hard getting that soft touch you had at the last landing. Keep it up and thanks for the video. I think this will help me with my next lesson.
I got 3 out of 7 "awesome" landings today on my 3rd lesson today, my best definitely can't like your last one here! Fun stuff for you! I'm having trouble with my audio recording though... It worked today until I started the plane!
I was good with landings when I started since I played a lot of flight sim as a kid, but when I was introduced to the patter I got confused, eventually you get it though.
"Five years ago" come on, man! Give us an update, where you at now?! I'm in this point of my journey where my pattern is more trash than a baby's diaper. But this video helped me a bit!
that was great! im an avid flight simmer and starting lessons soon, personally i idle my thrust at around 10 feet and reduce my vspeed to like 100 and try to keep it there
Has it improved? I found I never had issues with radio calls. I stumble a little with complex taxi instructions but overall you shouldn’t be intimidated by it.
is exact that aeroplane in that configuration what we see on the video has any AUTOPILOT option or function or only after modification to G1000? Great regards.
I remember cranking the yoke quickly back and forth like that at first. Its called killing a snake in the cockpit. My instructor called me out on it and taught me an important lesson. Let the plane fly. Its inherently stable. If you look in the video the yoke is moving very fast and for no reason, the plane is doing nothing. Slow down!!! Seriously (even with comms, like the other comment suggested). On landing your hand will have more throughput to make better pitch corrections and smoother landings. I don't mean to be harsh, but I had a similar issue and was shown an important lesson. Let the plane fly and work for you.
I was saying that to myself how I saw that yoke moving quick, constantly, with no wind pushing the aircraft and I’m just thinking ease off the controls a bit, my second flight, I seemed to think too much of the heavy winds, even when no gusts are present I was thinking like I needed to adjust it, but I noticed how much I was doing that and I eased on the controls and noticed how little I had to adjust the controls.
I did the same thing during my initial flight training. What changed it for me was to think of the plane as a gradient as to a 0 and 1 input. I kept thinking CORRECT, CORRECT, instead of smooth it in, smooth it in. Good words of advice.
your instructor looks so chill and laid back, seems like a cool guy!
They all look chill once they're on the cockpit that's why their students learn immediately to the lesson given. (I'm a student pilot too from Philippines)
agree
@CyberVeg not all
I have lots of hours and lots of ratings but those first few hours of learning to land with your instructor were the most fun and rewarding.
Just did 8 landings today! It was amazing!
As a fellow student pilot, I think you did great! Just one thing, it looks like you created a lot of pilot induced turbulence by constantly moving the yoke back and fourth like that, just let the plane fly itself and it’ll be easier.
ExtremeDude he meant when he was up in the air not when landing
agreed, just relax and feel the plane that's it.
That’s exactly the advice my instructor gives me....he always says stop jerking the yoke so much and relax and let the plane fly and stop flighting it. Nice video
My instructor told me the same thing 😂
TheRoyalCastle The plane can fly just fine it is the pilots job to gently nudge it to the direction he wants to go at the airspeed and power settings within the envelope.
Such a fantastic instructor you have. He’s going to make you a superb pilot.
The gray hair is always a good sign

I always loved touch & go's.
Final was the most enjoyable time of flight for me. Thank You for sharing.
Great video. As a retired Grade 1 Instructor, it is so good good to see someone pursuing what will hopefully become their career. I used to be able to dance those aircraft down the strip on any one wheel.
Want to be an Airline pilot! Thanks for watching!
Great video! You and your instructor both look like great guys and I noticed how well both your communication with ATC and your landings were! I’m doing my first landing tomorrow!
Lol.. kid just wants to get the hell off the ground...
Brings back good old memories from when I were in flight school.
Loved the instructure and the patience by him
Good job! I noticed you held the yoke nice and steady as you made the transition on the landing. It’s the best way to land a 172! Nice work!
Great instructor! You did great 👍🏻
That was great man, you improved the landings every time. Respect
spent 1 hour and 30 minutes doing exactly that today ;) ... you´re doing a good job
Thanks!
How much are you paying per hour?
Oh that there-ah sight pick-char... haven't flown in 5 years and FS2020 has reminded me. Great vid thanks! I love seeing people throwing Cessnas around the runway, reminds me of me.

Your doing great 👍
Keep up the hard work and you will have your license in no time😎

Another good video Ethan - I'm only a sim training, but it made me feel good to see some of the same things you did I have done...
Great flying and Awesome teacher.💪
Loved that last landing.

Nice job! I wouldn’t play with the heading indicator on takeoff. Fly the plane in that crucial time. Made me nervous.
That made me nervous as well. I was getting the heading bug on 260 (Runway heading). Good to debrief though!
Also the heading bug cant be accurately set unless you're straight and level. Agreed.
Very kind instructor
This is cool! Im just a line guy lol but every day i see students with instructors and sometimes here students complain about how the instructor doesn’t boost morale, in this occasion I can say you got an amazing instructor with you
Nice job! I’m getting back into flying after 20 plus years in GA and this is encouraging.
Bravo !!!!, I am 53 years old, I am a student pilot. I am currently practicing touch and go's and soon I will take my solo flight.
@@marcochavez11 keep on pressing on! It’s a wonderful thing this flying…
@@tinothepilot yes sir, l agree with you.
Congrat's. Thank’s.
Awesome!!! this is danbury
instructorś like him can teach you to become calm and confident. I have had an instructor like him. Though him I finally got my licence.
That's was great! Thanks for the video....
Great job 👏🏻 😊good job

Dang good work! I soloed a couple of months ago at 12 hours and am at about 40 hours now in check ride prep, looking forward to my PPL
Great training.
I have had my private for about a year now and im 18, I can say that you did great!!!
Wow that instructor gives just so chill and trustworthy
Such a cool instructor
Excellent instructor
Your instructor is so chill
Nicely done! Thanks for the video. :)
Heh, this is so great, I've been there - love it
THAT'S a good instructor! Greetings from a german flight instructor ;)
He reminds me of my cfi. Super chill and hands off. Nice job by the way
as a new pilot getting ready for my first landing this coming weekend this took some of the anxiety out of it all.
I am also 16 (turning 17 on Wednesday). Student pilot and going to my solo in about 2 weeks here in Norway! :)

Did you get your PPL!? Its been 2 years since you commented ha! Currency experiencing the same issue
Currently*^

This instructor is angel hahaha. Too high both approach speed and approach alt’. But good job. You can.
You can tell he’s seasoned and teaches for the love.... unlike some of my instructors 😫
Third times the charm. This will be great to see when your a captain
Student looks very smart with radio. Good for him. Good Job boy...
Awesome 😍😍
You need to adjust the compass before take off and keep your hand on the throttle during take off . Have fun !
Didn’t realize this was Danbury airport. I pass by there very often on the way to the mall. Where did you find a flight instructor?
Good job!
nice video! I like your instructor!
Hey great video! I am at this same point in my flight training and I have been having some hard landings. It’s hard getting that soft touch you had at the last landing. Keep it up and thanks for the video. I think this will help me with my next lesson.
Its been 3 years how’s that goes?
Man!!! Good job! Can't wait til I'm in your position and have a smooth instructor like this.
Great instructor 👍
I love this airplane! The R model is so much better and it makes ground time a lot shorter!
I got 3 out of 7 "awesome" landings today on my 3rd lesson today, my best definitely can't like your last one here! Fun stuff for you!
I'm having trouble with my audio recording though... It worked today until I started the plane!
He handles a taxiing like a boss !!

Has my first smooth butter landing today with a 172S... feeling very accomplished! :)
Good teacher!
This happen to everyone, nice job!
Gun fun in the air given the amount of turbelance 👍
Nice video! 👍
"Five years ago" come on, man! Give us an update, where you at now?!
I'm in this point of my journey where my pattern is more trash than a baby's diaper. But this video helped me a bit!
Bravissimi ! Saluti dall'Italia
Ha ha, really enjoyed this. Kid's learning. Not bad reflexes plus knowledge. Takes time.
Good job kid you'll be a pro in no time
Thanks man!
that was great! im an avid flight simmer and starting lessons soon, personally i idle my thrust at around 10 feet and reduce my vspeed to like 100 and try to keep it there
I'm currently going through my flight training hopefully by this time next year I'll be a professional pilot :) this is cool to see
Took my 1st lesson Thursday. Can't wait for next Thursday! 🤗
I'm a 14 year old student pilot as well and it's so cool watching my fellow student pilot nail it
Wow 14 years old, that's early my friend! Where are you from?
@@robbertsprezzatura7220 Dallas Texas
Im 44 and just started flying, I wish I could have afforded to fly at 14 :-)
Very nice
Good job mate
great instructor
So much fun!!!
Gets better at each landing!
you got a lot confidence for your radio calls and you know what youre talking about. I envy you! long way to go for me...
Has it improved? I found I never had issues with radio calls. I stumble a little with complex taxi instructions but overall you shouldn’t be intimidated by it.

i was in pain watching this video because of the reasons you said in your comment
Thanks for the feedback. My CFI and I did a debrief after the flight and he mentioned this
I was doing the same thing! My instructor addressed immediately.
I was saying that to myself how I saw that yoke moving quick, constantly, with no wind pushing the aircraft and I’m just thinking ease off the controls a bit, my second flight, I seemed to think too much of the heavy winds, even when no gusts are present I was thinking like I needed to adjust it, but I noticed how much I was doing that and I eased on the controls and noticed how little I had to adjust the controls.

I’m still trying to get the hang of landings. Good video tho!
gotta love doing 10000 laps in the pattern
It helps me understand how the cessna 172 works because i start with it next yr
This was good.
Am an aviation student still struggling with gravity though... But I believe one time I will make the best pilot
i believe in you Captain!
Great instuctor
