Thank you! Yes we do have a few different rules. How far along are you in your training?

@@Officialflymedia Hey brother! I actually have 68 tot with around 21 hours of PIC. I've done everything and just prepping for my checkride in February!

@ congrats! Remember to relax, and if you don’t know something, just say you don’t know.

Thank you for the support, I combined my favorite room in the house, with my favorite topic for conversation hahah.

That’s another good option, I was doing my best to follow the traffic ahead of me. Thanks for watching. Hope to see you at one of the upcoming fly-in brunch events. We have one in willows tomorrow 11-2pm. And next month at Ella’s in Watsonville on Feb 23rd 11-2.

Yes, 100% you got it. I always use flight following for safety, and in /under complex airspace I’d say it’s a must.

@@Officialflymedia i would to if i flew. HMB has a nice area for an airport, so does buchanan field.

@ half moon bay is really pretty. I was almost upset I haven’t been sooner.

Dylan have you taken the checkride? This video is a mock-oral checkride not a video production, I simply recorded the session with my instructor. It was 2 days before I took and passed my checkride. There have been a few people who commented saying it was helpful, and useful before those checkride. This video is not prepared for the written. The written is simple, read maps, answer a few questions about airspace, and a few terms about aviation.

Thank you Manny, it was awesome having you on! I look forward to flying with you soon. I couldn’t agree more, the intention of this channel is exactly that, inspire, entertain, and teach through sharing the experiences of myself and others in aviation.

He is awesome, I lol forward to flying with him soon!

Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed, please tune in for the next episode. I’m going to work really hard to crank out one episode every other week!

Thank you, I appreciate! I’ll start working on that video. To detail what to expect the day of, a binder and general walkthrough of the day.

​@@Officialflymedia "day of the check ride" video would be amazing

I’m glad it provided value, and I hope you have a little bit more direction on areas you need to spend more time focusing. Thanks for watching. Tune into the podcast, lots of times and experiences shared from pilots with different levels of experience. New episode out tomorrow, and gonna release one every other week.

I believe that’s the section where we are talking about Aviates. As far as the inspection goes 24 months IFR only. But it is a required part for vfr flight just not a required inspection. Thank you for paying attention to the details. And always double checking! Great quality to have as a pilot!

@@Officialflymedia Thank you brother! Really enjoyed the video. Lots of good stuff here added to my notes for the checkride coming up!

@@patrickmyers7569 I’m glad you gained some value from the video. If you haven’t yet, make a binder. With a photo copy of all your documents, have your iacra password written down in there. Important pages form the POH (weight and balance, performance charts, V-speeds etc) make sure you have all your house and totals tabbed so you can easily find them.

Never been to Yuba, any good food close? If there is I’m in!

@Officialflymedia Have no idea, never been to anything around there, I gotta run back down to Sacramento before traffic 😆. But at KAUN, on the 25th it's a big career day event, with a bunch of pilots from a whole host of companies. I'll be there for sure. And for sure they got great food around Auburn. On property too.

@@Bangbang-gl4xo haha you are telling me to go somewhere you’ve never been? Haha as for airport day in oroville it’s happening in May this year. Joint the Bay Area pilots group on Facebook. Dm me on instagram same handle. Let’s connect. For sure interested in heading to that even on the 25th also.

@@Bangbang-gl4xo I’ve been to wings at auburn, and the golf course has great food. I made a video from my last trip there

@@Officialflymedia Cool deal. I subscribed. Yeah Wings is good, breakfast is superb. Local Heroes burger in Auburn is fantastic. Yeah, I fly/train at KMYV, not much more. Best food stop is the Chevron for me, and their spicy chicken salad, then back down Sacramento.

Thank you, Rich was fine, people get too worked up. I had no issues whatsoever with him. I’m out of KCCR. We are doing a brunch fly-in on the 26th headed to willows on 1/26. We be a bunch of pilots!

@ I’m glad to hear Rich was fine, I’ve heard some things from buddies of mine that did their checkride with him, but everyone’s experience is different. My check ride is on the 7th of feb, once I’m done I’m gonna participate in all the fly ins I can!

@@muhammadfawzi1145 amazing, best of luck to you. I had no complaints about my checkride with Rich. He is fine with you using foreflight no paper ballot needed. Make sure you know your iacra password, so you can login. Also have a binder with all your documents. I even made a photo copy of the POH and pulled out important pages and had those in my binder (things I’d use for weight and balance, and performance. Know where to find things in the POH and the far/aim. Best of luck!

Good luck on your checkride. I hope this video helped you feel more confident and ready. We were about 2 days from my checkride when we made this video. The aircraft was a 172P model. I’m glad you got value from this video!

You live in the bay and you a flight sim guy? That awesome Sam. Dm me on Instagram and we will get up in the sky! (I wanna dive a bit heavier into flight sim myself)

DM on IG I have a few pilot events coming up that I’m flying to. If you wanna hop in the plane with me and do it for real. I’m down

Thank you, I appreciate it that’s a great idea. I have always aimed for the numbers. Id have to likely adjust my pitch and power setting, and be well above slope according to the papi lights.

@@Officialflymedia thousand footers are standard for commercial especially when you start flying on instruments and bigger faster planes. PAPIs are great for guidance to about 50-100ft. Great content, keep it up.

@ thank you, I’ll keep it at. I’ll also start aiming for the 1000 footers

Yes it’s an awesome airport, I want to land on the grass strip, and also need to make my way into town to experience the gold rush!

Hey definitely, I’m in! I’m gonna tag you in a post in a community post I made. We have a fly in brunch coming up on January 26th, going to Nancy’s at Willows airport 11am-2pm! I’m expecting probably 25 pilots from around the bay.

Thank you, I appreciate the support. I learned majority of the things I’ve learned flying came from you! I couldn’t agree more, half moon bay is beautiful. I still have shelter cove in my list, as well as Tahoe! I remember you proposing there and telling me about it! Your landing was butter hahah

Thank you, I’ll definitely try that next time. Are you coming to the fly in event on the 25th? We are flying into willows, and having a pilots brunch likely be 35 or so people

I see all the GOATs in the comments!

@@GetBetterChannelhahaha

Thank you, it was a good landing but can always be better.

What mic are you using bro, also you can play with the audio after the fact to remove some of the harsh S sounds.

Thank you, but I’m not an instructor, I am just a private pilot. I do highly recommend part time pilot ground school. This is the ground school I used for my private pilot training, and am using now for my Instrument ground school. parttimepilot.com/private-pilot-ifr-course-pricing/?ref=227

100% weather is a beast, symbols, abbreviations, icing, fog, clouds, thunderstorms, etc.

You are welcome, thanks for tuning in. I’m glad it provided value! Best of luck on that checkride, you have enough time to really solidify the things you didn’t know.

Thank you for watching!

It’s very fun and rewarding, you’ll be blessed with some incredible experiences.

Spirit Airlines! Never know what youll see! 😅

@ hahahahaha that’s comedy!

I agree 100% depends on the DPE!

recall is a good word for service bulletins

@ I think it is a great word to give context and understanding of what they are. My DPE however did not like that definition, so I continued to say it is a service bulletin created due to common failure or know issues with a specific part, or system. He deemed that acceptable. Where are you currently in your pilot journey!

@ passed my private check ride on the 10th. Thanks in part to this video! Gave me a confidence boost k owing I was able to answer most the questions shown here correctly :)

@ Congrats, that’s amazing! Im glad you went in confident and got the job done! That is very exciting! Where do you fly out of?

Thanks for watching!

He asked if the Cessna 172 was an R model, and I responded it was a P model. There are subtle differences between models, power, flaps max gross etc.

@@Officialflymediagreat Thanks.. Have my check ride soon!!! I can't cram enough..

@ you are welcome, best of luck! Make sure you go over your POH, know where to find things. And calculate landing distances with tailwinds, and weight shift problems, also be able to draw the fuel system, vacuum system, and understand the electrical system. How many volts the battery is, and the alternator are. You’ll crush it!

Haha the one and only!

Thank you, my CFI Gal will definitely be a future captain, I however don’t know if I’ll even end up getting my commercial. My purpose is to fly around for fun, but the idea of having a commercial and flying charter/ corporate sounds amazing.

No, I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Thank you! Where are you in the process?

My checkride is this Thursday, 12/5. Yikes!

@@jasonpeters9295 congrats! That’s both exciting, and stressful. How did your mock oral checkrides go?

Hahah yes it is!

​@@Officialflymedianot a joke 😢

Hahah man you hit the nail on the head hahah!!! Maybe I’ll bring the 2 together hahaha

That’s a good one, thank you for sharing!

@@Officialflymedia thanks for your video getting some last studying in before my checkride tomorrow

@@markhurford2761 you are welcome, I know you are gonna crush it! Make sure you get sleep!!! That’s the hardest thing to do the night before. Also let me know how it goes, and what questions if any you stumbled on during the checkride.

@@Officialflymedia I passed

@@markhurford2761 Congrats Mark! Were there any questions he or she asked that you didn’t know?

Thank you, hopefully this helps some folks out there

Thank you brother, I hope you find it helpful, and that you ace your checkride!

I’m doing the same right now haha. Super clear communication from both guys. Great video

@ thank you, I hope this helps you feel more prepared. Best of luck on your checkride! Tune into the podcast for more tips, and experiences from other pilots

Agreed

Thank you, weather has so many terms, and CJ concepts it’s definitely one of the most difficult sections because there is an incredibly amount of information you are expected to know.

You are welcome, I hope it helps you in your studying
