What Happens On A FIRST FLIGHT LESSON | The Road To FLYING SOLO (EP. 1)
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 05. 2022
- Welcome to The Road To Flying Solo. In this series we will be following the progress of student pilot Edwin as he goes from zero flight experience to flying solo!
In the 1st EPISODE we meet Edwin and find out why he wants to fly! We do some basic maneuvering, as well as ground reference, slow flight and even introduce him to a stall.
Early on in training nothing is ever performed perfectly by the student. Instead I look for handling techniques to be established and to set a solid foundation for the rest of training.
Make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss the rest of the series.

I wish every CFI, or at least every reputable flight school, would place cameras all over the plane like this and video every lesson so that you can see what you did wrong, what did right, and everything in between. And seeing from the outside of the plane what changes to the controls do to the planes. Even if it's nothing posted, just to have a record would be awesome.
Not finished watching it yet, but just had to pause and comment. This brings me back to when I started flying. Fish out of water. Love it. FANTASTIC IDEA.
Haha glad it’s bringing you some nostalgia!
Even though I am a private pilot, I very much enjoyed watching this video as I still gain some knowledge from it.
Excellent!
I also am a private pilot. Isn’t that crazy
30hrs student pilot.
This video was awesome!
Reminds me of how far I’ve come.
Yet I still need some reminders to USE MAI RUDDAH!
I flew into 40 hours yesterday with an orange sticky note on my yoke that read; CARB RUDDER TRIM. Not one bit ashamed that I still need that reminder. Every little bit helps.
I’m 2,000 hours in. Still gonna watch because nostalgia lol
haha it'll take you waaaaay back
Love this!! Wish I’d had it when I started, would have really let me know what to expect. Great work man!
Thank you so much!
Been an anxious flier lately so I started watching flight videos to calm the nerves. Stumbled upon your channel and have watched tons of your videos. Not only do I feel better about flying after watching your videos, I’m itching to become a student pilot and buy my own piper someday. Thanks, Lew!!
That’s so cool man! Anxiety is normal as you’re learning and certainly before you get behind the controls. Schedule yourself a discovery flight to see how it goes!
Great video, Lewis. This is so detailed and makes me want to continue my training. Next is Instrument rating!! :)
Can't wait for the next in the series.
Hey Lew, love seeing your talent in instructing on here. The difference between you and young bob flying and briefing RNAV's, your solo IFR stuff and this starting from scratch stuff, really shows off your art. Good shit man. Love from sydney australia
Very kind of you to say mate, thank you
Been watching you for years now Mr. Lew. Just started my training in a Cherokee (😉), and if everything goes to plan I’ll be getting my PPL before I graduate high school
Nice!
Same but I’m in a 152! What grade are you in rn?
@@carsonknott9884 I’m a junior, you?
@@orf_av8or303 same! Are you planning on flying for a career or are you getting it for fun? Hopefully rn I’m planning on getting at least my commercial license
It's definitely possible, just gotta stay committed. I got my PPL on my 17th birthday. Best of luck on it
another great video!! thank you!!
LOL! Edwin on the very first ATIS was EXACTLY how I reacted. "What the fuck do I write down?"
Currently in CFI school watching this to help practice teaching while flying, you do a great job at explaining these maneuvers! Helped me figure out how to teach mine as well
Ah thank you! Great to hear it’s helped.
Awesome video and great idea for a series! Just about to my CFI checkride and these are great examples of teaching. Keep em coming!!
Thanks man. 3 episodes out as of now. 4th on the way!
Great stuff!
Great video. Learned some good tips
I’m 20 hours in and your videos help a lot. Thanks Lewis!
Great to hear, thanks!
I'm a brand new student with 3 hours under the belt. Looking forward to following along with the series!
Fantastic! This series might help you along the way.
same here, 2hrs training so far :- )
To all the new enthisiasts. Dont give up. The road may be long to get your PPL, but it is Sssooo worth it in the end.
The freedoms. Adventures. It is truly amazing
Love this!
Thanks!
Wish I had this a year ago, working on my CFI now and this helps as well! Bravo 👏
Funny thing is, it was recorded more than a year ago 😲 glad it still helps though
This series is AWESOME!!! so far!! Looking to take the leap,& get my PPL soon. GREAT VIDEO SIR!!
Thank you!
As you saw in my message I was rocking the NEW lewdix shirt today while I was time building around Florida (everyone needs one of the new shirts). You are killing us with these airline teases, just make a video already and let us know what's going on and which place you are going to and when??? Chomping at the bit here!
Hey Mano, great job on you instructing! Cool, calm and collected. Professional, yet relaxed! Wow, what a CFI you are!😎👏👏👏
Thanks mano!
Bro, you don't even need the video. It's like smooth jazz.
I appreciate your video's and love your instruction technique. I am a new student over in Tampa just getting going and your video's have already helped me.
Ah great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Love your “Clear Prop” call.
Very good video. You helped a lot.
Great to hear
Hi from Adelaide South Australia. Very informative - thanks mate.
Cheers mate! You’re a long way away
Nice vid! which gopro mount are you using for the wing view? Would this be sturdy for an arrow as well? thanks!
DAM! them flying eyes glasses
look cool 😎
What was the secret adventure 🤔
Nice.
This student did really good for his first lesson
Haha, Murph is on the radios directing chaos 😁
As always!
I'm 12 hours in and had my first solo last week :) Enjoy the ride, Edwin, it's going to be amazing!
Congratulations!
@@LewDixAviation Thanks, man! Also want to use the opportunity and thank you for your content, I can take away a lot from that!
Where do you live? That’s great! I don’t know anyone who soloed at 12 hours. Well done!
@@thesecretsaint8178 Thanks! I'm from Bavaria, Germany. If it were for my FI, I would have had my progress check B with 8,5 hours :D Unfortunately my third covid jab and the weather interfered (we only have a grass strip)...
@@thesecretsaint8178 In the UK (and I'm guessing the rest of Europe too since the syllabuses are almost identical) you generally can do your first solo around 12 hours, and you do the check at 45 total. :D
Lew = 🐐
😲 thanks!
goat? great of all times? i agree! :-)
What are your thoughts on pilot Institute on line ground school
Haha may have to move my training to Florida mate
I'm halfway through my training and still don't remember the emergency brief memorized lol
I'm booking my discovery flight because of you.
Amazing!
@@LewDixAviation also, whats a yorkshireman doing in florida??
Every time I say "Remain Clear Of My Propeller-I Am Commencing Engine Start" It always comes out with as english
Lewdix... dang it is cold.. actual temp,72 F. Lol
Bit colder, but yea, you’re right 😂
@@LewDixAviation hahsha.. another great video... in other news.. i just changed careers, from IT to Drone Pilot. Training in PA currently!
Aeee Palmeiras hahahaha
I can't believe you have a Palmeiras jersey
💚🐷💚
Is saying "that endeavor" a clue?
No, but I can say that my spirit dropped when I went into the new frontier with the hopes of flying a jet. Blue skies were what I wanted to be flying in, but I decided to venture back to the south west to reassess. This isn’t a psa, but there is a silver lining to my story.
Makes no sense but actually it does 😂
do you hate your engine, haha. 1800rpm on start. id love to cut that filter open... crack the throttle like half an in, and increase as necessary, should have to raise the engine slowly to 1000rpm not bring it back from 1800...
Jesus man 😂 Give the guy a break it was his first ever time starting an engine.
comes out with an English Accent
I feel like you keep trolling us. You keep saying your going to make an airline video, but then the next video is GA again
In the beginning I said that venture isn’t going to come to fruition. It was going to happen, but now things have changed. Where’s the trolling?
@@LewDixAviation I missed that part, sorry. Does that mean you can pick Seth and Conrad back up?
@@spelldaddy5386 Possibly for Seth... Definitely not Bob though.
Doing both Ground School classes free; main and instrument.
I was enjoying the video until I saw you wearing that jersey. Nope. Corinthians > Palmeiras.
I won’t hold it against you for supporting Corinthians 🫢
@@LewDixAviation Football aside, interesting to see you start your descent on the downwind leg. Here in Australia we are thought to start our descent on base. Great video as per usual!
@@arturvolpi Thanks mate! The standard here is to start the descent on downwind. Thanks for watching man!
@@LewDixAviation Thank you for the reply and the awesome content! All the best for your career today and in the future.
