- Landings are something that we are ALL trying to perfect no matter the skill level. In this video we work on some crosswind landings and perfect that wing dip before a power off approach.
Enjoy the flight!

Landing is the best part of flying
This is just what i needed - i tried do smuggle some into my training circuits the other day for an intensive session with my instructor and great results obtained - and i’m now suffering from ‘rudder thigh’ - its a real thing! no joke!
Juan is the bomb!
Thanks for sharing, I am struggling with crosswind landings. It’s helpful lesson in the pattern.
Something to add into my pre-flight briefing. No arm resting behind my seat.
MAN WHAT AN INSTRUCTOR ENGAGING YOUR STUDENTS IN ALL THE WAY. I WISH YOU WERE MY INSTRUCTOR.
Best aviation channel on CZcams that actually teaches flying! Just getting back into flying after a 17 year hiatus...your videos are helping me so much with my return to the cockpit. Thank you!
Excellent and entertaining! Learned quite a bit! Gracias!
Nailed the landing awesome video
Great video
Please keep these videos a coming. I love all of them. Keep up the great work.
Cheers Alan!
Examiner: Wow,how did you learn to fly like that?Me: By watching lewdix on youtube😇 Great videos and great work. Greetings from Norway
During my flight this morning around the practice field in apk, I heard your student Jose I think on the radio in winter haven! Ha, small world!
Solid work up there boys! Keep it up.
You are a seriously good instructor.... keep up with the videos...thanks.
Thanks Chuck!
Another great video and lesson great job by your student!
Awesome video and instruction.
Good stuff man!
Totally addicted. Thank you for making students comfortable through your humor but still learning something. 👍👍. You’ve re-energized me in wanting to complete my PPL. Thanks
Jeffrey Mitchell ah no problem man, this is the way flight training should be!
Excellent points on simulated engine-out landing! Loved it!
Perfect review video of what we just covered in ground School. Nice to see the Wing Dip Method in Action. Way to go!
nice flight with much tender touches :)))))
I'm addicted to his channel to can I get a flight lesson
Wish a have a nice instructor like you man. Great videos!!!
Great way to start the week !!!!!
Sweeeeet! Just recorded another video with Juan too soooooooo next week 🙏🏻
Excellent - thanks for another great lesson.
That looked pretty bumpy at times, Cherokees always seem quite stable to me? Your student did well.
Great comments about the flaps during a descending turn onto final etc (also there's the issue of a stall if overshooting the extended centre line, on approach, in wind, and, instead of going around, trying to put it right and loosing it) and going without flaps dead stick until onto the final and/or if required.
Another fun, but informative lesson calmly executed - I bet there's a fair few students out there wishing that their instructors were like that!
Love your videos sir! Makes me miss flying even more this pandemic. Safe skies!
Thanks Brigette!
Great video, Lewis. Excellent instruction - and pretty darn good execution by your student.
He’s one of the best I’ve had. Really talented guy! Thanks!
jan3195 or execution of the student!!
You’re an awesome instructor. I only wish you were in the UK!
That were proper reet good, Lew. Keep em coming lad 👍🏻
T’areet Kev! Cheers and all that maaaaatey
Great video 🤘🤘✈️✈️✈️🤘🤘
Safe flying from 🇬🇧
Cheers mate!
Great video lewis!!
Thanks Jordan!
Spooky timing! I was just struggling with this on Saturday, great video as always :)
I’m stalking you... cheers mate
I thought that was going to be a bonding moment at 12:40 marker lol. But for real, I like to use a small class G airport a few miles south of my house for this same reason. Great video!
These are also great for CFI learners.
Hey Lewis! I passed my PPL checkride last week and throughout the whole process, I picked up a lot of good tidbits from your videos. Thanks for putting this content out there, it’s really great and you’re one of the few aviation CZcamsrs I truly love watching (you and Jason Miller of TFP). As a “Cessna pilot”, I would like to get some experience in a Piper.. maybe if I’m in Orlando one day? 😄
Ahhhh congratulations mate! I appreciate the kind words and I’m glad you’ve picked some things up along the way!
Good vid, enjoyed that. I am rusty on crosswind techniques and haven't seen anything decent in the Pa28 to help demo on youtube until this. Thanks. Nick
Nice! Glad you found something that helps man
I used to train at Orl! I kinda miss the cessnas. Loved this video, keep it up!
I love ORL!
The over-the-shoulder camera angle really shows centerline drift. That gives me an idea for my own GoPro placement for my own debriefing. It appears the student is ready for solo. Will we see a video when he successfully completes his checkride with the FAA DPE?
That’s actually a great idea for a video; first flight after a checkride.. I like it!
LewDix Aviation fantastic then! I’ll be watching for the celebratory flight. 👍🏻
Shout out for the Kore headset! Those are great headsets.
Your working Lew, but keep the videos coming!
Yea I’m busy but trying to keep em coming
Hey Lewis, thanks for another video! Can you make some more flights, where you will go to the details of some mistakes, and what to avoid or make properly, please? And let me ask you about your RayBans Polarized glasses. Is it safe to wear them ( when they are not recommended for pilots)? Have you faced any problems with the polarized function during a flight? Thank you! I wish that you move to Las Vegas and then I will be able to have lessons with such a great instructor :DDD.
I think you stole Kevin's lesson from the other day. We went up just to work on wheel landings in the Citabria and were landing and taking off on the left wheel as it was windy with a strong crosswind component:) Keep up the flight, I hope we see the second part where he goes to and from Ocala.
I hope the commercial career is going well, but I have to say, you are an awesome instructor.
Thanks mate!
Hey Lewis! Love watching your video man, when ever you upload I click so fast haha. One question, what sunglasses do you have? I was looking for some aviator glasses and they are beautiful
They are Ray Ban’s.. I love them. So comfortable!
Saw your student is wearing the Kore brand headset. I love mine. Great quality for the cost
I agree. Nice job 16X.
Great video. Learned a lot from this one. BTW, has anyone ever figured out the exact number of Doritos ATCGuy had in his mouth when giving takeoff clearance? Didn't understand more than the last fraction of his transmission.
Nice T shirt ... does it comes in 3xl ? 😉 Greetings from the Netherlands crew ph-hms
Hey Lewis, really like your videos. I'm training for my PPL here in the UK (26 hours in) and we're always taught the 'crab' technique to deal with crosswinds, effectively holding the crab in to the wind all the way down until we straighten out in the final couple of feet before touchdown. Do you have any views on wing down v crab and teaching one over the other?
Hey mate. Thanks for the kind words! I prefer the wing dip technique. If you think about it, when you use the crab technique you are at the last moment kicking the rudder and then dipping the wing to touchdown on your upwind wheel. Well, what I have seen is that this last second kick caused instability and ruins the landing. If you set yourself up with a stabilized wing dip and opposite rudder to maintain the centre of the runway, then you don’t have to kick anything and have that unstable rocking motion before touchdown. You’ve already done the work and just have to hold it all the way down. Hope that makes sense but that’s my take on it. The crab technique is fine to use, I have nothing against it and use it myself sometimes, but I lean towards the wing dip
Nice video as always man! Was wondering if that lake on final makes for a smoother approach?
The lake actually “sucks” you down because water doesn’t radiate heat. So you go from over land to over water and start dropping. Got to be careful to stay on glide slope haha
LewDix Aviation oh damn so air over the lake is cooler than that over land creating a downdraft?
boys and girls,left aileron and right rudder applied at the same time....can it lead to cross control and decrease speed considerably? especially on final, or just add more power and that's it?
13:40😂😂
3:11 Positive Rate Gear Up?🤣🤣
Hey Lewis, why do you prefer teaching students to do a sideslip landing instead of the crab technique in crosswind landings? Cheers from a flight instructor in Iceland
Hey man, yea I tend to lean further towards the side slip than crab. Reason being you can stabilize in the sideslip and not have to swing the nose and transition from the crab when flaring. I consider it more stable and easier for students to grasp. I use the crab technique at the airline but teach the sideslip mainly
I love Iceland!
Newbie question. How do you know which direction the crosswind is coming from?
Lick your finger, stick it up in the air and feel which side of your finger feels the breeze.................. haha no seriously you get the weather information for the airport and see which direction the wind is coming from. You can also ask ATC, and very importantly, look at the wind sock. ALSO, if you take your feet off the rudder pedals in flight, the nose will point into the wind naturally. The side that the wind is coming from hits the tail of the aircraft and “weather vanes” the nose into the wind. I check that way all the time, even when flying for the airline
@@LewDixAviation LOL Thanks for the info. This is helpful as I'm contemplating going down the road to my PPL and your videos give me confidence. Keep up the good work!!
did you just not show the radio calls in the pattern? Downwind, base, final?
They were at a tower controlled airport. No calls are needed. Tower cleared them to land. If it was an uncontrolled airport without a tower then they would announce their positions such as downwind, base and final.
@@gregellis3859 awesome man! A good pilot is always learning! 🤣🤣🤣
Doing a solo cross country but still being released for solos? Arn’t only the first 5 solos done with an instructor release?
That’s how it worked during my PPL at least, would get released for solo circuits a few times with 1-2 circuits with the instructor. After those initial solo circuit released would then do the practice area and cross country solos self dispatched.
Your instructor was a brave individual then sending you out without checking up on you.. It had been over a month since we flew so needed to make sure he was still proficient. After all, he is flying on my license when I send him solo
LewDix Aviation that’s how the whole flight school worked, but you needed to be within 15 days currency for holders of a student permit. Once licensed it goes to 30-60 days depending on your hours.
Alex1911 ah yea that’s cool, so I work in a similar way.. Like a said Juan hadn’t flown for just over a month so we needed to make sure he was still proficient.. he did well
I was flying 3 times a week or more during my PPL so never came close to hitting their SPP currency limit. Doing the same for my CPL now since we need a crazy amount of cross country and instrument time for IFR, any chance I get I try an knock off a few more hours lol
WonWingWoe?
Flaps in the turn ?
Having flaps in is not a problem. On checkrides, the examiners might not like adding flaps during the turn. Most accidents being on approach or departure, it's better practice not to increase the risk where it is already higher. There is the case of the nose wanting to rise. Even worse, only one flap could deploy and immediately put you into a spin. Also why it's good practice to actually look at your flaps before departing.
Yep.. I think I explained myself in the video haha
Sorry, you did indeed, I must have spaced out for a sec 🤪it’s happening more lately.
S.
Ah yes... the good old days when we didn't have to wear masks during flight training :(
