Flying had never been on my radar before, but recently my Uncle passed and left me his Cessna 172 in his will with a letter about conquering ones fears among other things. I have been learning everything about the plane down to the nuts and bolts and am just starting to look into flight-school (fully funded by him as well). I have watched a few of these now and it has me shaking-nervous and kinda terrified-excited...in a good way. Watching these and having a level of familiarity with what I am about to walk into is going to work those nerves out of my system ahead of time and I think it will make the whole experience much smoother.
Thank you for the fantastic videos.
Fly Safe o7
Yes! What an awesome uncle, and what a wonderful gift (specifically the letter about conquering fears).
Cheers to being terrified-excited in a good way!
I'm a paraglider pilot and am very familiar with the nexus of fear and excitement. I'm terrified of it, but yet there is something so magical about literally soaring with the birds.
I wish you the very best as you face your fears and venture into the skies!
Buck Cherry let us know how you are progressing! I started flying 12 years ago, wasn’t able to finish private license, have 33 hrs logged and and going to return to the sky soon. The 172’s are great I have most of my time in a 172 SP.
go get it bud!
If you haven't already. Get a flight simulator and practice practice practice. I fly sims and I would love to have the funds to actually fly a real plane. Good luck =)
Got damnit i want an airplane. Especially a cessna. Even tho their really slow its a good start. Ive been a fan of planes for like 8 years lmao and the only thing i can do is play simulators xd
Wow, that is truly awesome! I hope you develop a love of flying.
Thanks for opening that window for us while taxiing. Really helped cool me down.
This gave me a good laugh. I like it! :D
hahah comment of the day
dang ............ taxi fuel costs
Private Pilot Student. What is giving you the guided audio of where your at on airport? I pad or?
Shane Ryder fa
It’s crazy that your character in GTA goes through all those procedures before you take off.
@Finn O'Keeffe ok you have to be irish
All the GTA characters are professional plane procedure speed runners
in a deserted airport ,imagine in a place like la guardia airport in newyork
yeah most of the GTA characters can't fly planes, the only ones that can I believe are Niko, Trevor and Luis.
The communication seems harder to learn than piloting itself
a part of me says that's stupid but another part of me says that's probably true
It’s really not as bad as it seems. All the comms follow a certain formula that’s easy to catch onto. Once you learn the formula and learn the phonetic alphabet it’s easy. For the Formula, most of the time you just say:
[1.] state whoever it is you’re contacting (if it’s your first contact with them) (i.e. *San Marcus Ground or San Marcus Approach*)
[2.] Your tail number / callsign (San Marcus Ground this is *skyhawk 80991*)
[3.] State what your intentions or have ATC tell you what they want you to do (*Skyhawk 80991 taxi via Alpha-Charlie-Juliet hold short and wait runway 13.*)
[4.] Readback what tower has told you and proceed from there.
Edit: Callsign can sometimes be last too.
Just ask the ATC person to slow down.
The thing I find very hard is singing all the correct taxi ways
It can be very intimidating as a student but 99% of controllers are very accommodating. They are there to protect you and to help you so communication with atc will get easier. Just tell them where you are and where you want to go.
"I don't know why I put my keys back there… " You, sir, give me hope that I too can fly.
Lol😂
Perktube1 I didn’t even know there was keys for a plane
@@robertpenman548 jets don't have keys. if you know how to operate a jet (airliner or private jet) you can start it without keys
the problem is getting TO the plane because of airport security
then fighter jets and stuff
i believe the only reason planes like cessnas have keys is because of the magnetos. maybe for a little bit of security too, idk
just don't screw with the dash while taxing like el dopa
Jesus loves you
Josh's preflight:
*tighten oil cap*
Preflight complete
macfan999 incorrect!
macfan999 he likely did a full preflight at some point between pulling the plane out of the hanger to the spot where it was parked when the camera rolled. Unless he has cognitive powers to teleport his backpack magically into the backseat before entering the aircraft, which would really be impressive.
A. Totally awesome comment. I thought the same thing.
B. Obviously, he did a preflight before starting the camera. He knows what he is doing.
I found the humor my friend. I also loved the video. Very nicely done.
the preflight is just looking at the checklist and saying check to each item
macfan999 kick the tyres
If anyone's interested in going here in flight simulator, this is San Marcos Regional Airport (KHYI).
my man
Hey, I've crashed in San Marcos before (in FS2020)! Good times!
Thanks, gonna put the video on the 2nd monitor and try to "fly" along :P
Awesome. Thanks man!
thank you!
The mark of a good teacher is one who makes complex subjects seem easier, builds confidence - no condescension or impatience - and helps you relax while remaining focused. You exhibit all these positive qualities. Your methods also mean I don’t have to search through tons of TH-cam channels on aviation to understand something not explained or missing in a video. Great work. Very enjoyable to watch whilst also learning. Love the availability of online teaching to help reduce costs and make aviation more accessible to more aspiring pilots.
It was a smart thing to have your drivers license on you just incase you got pulled over for speeding up there... :-)
Stevo McSteve tru
lol you need your drivers license to solo if you don't have your license
@@danielk766you always need your certificate, medical, and a photo ID on you when acting as PIC
LMAO !
Castle Rock Tattoo and Laser Removal Co. ..........
Inagine being able to say "Oh yeah just got out of school, going to go fly a plane though, catch up with you guys later".
that's what rich peopels kids do. Regular people just go home and get beat up by drunk stepfather.
Pete Smith I cant relate to what you said and I’m a regular person.
Proxsea he means flying school
@Diego Valdez Are u?
Does sound nice
Josh, thanks so much for this video in particular. I've watched it again and again before, during, and after getting my PPL. It's probably the best uncut video on TH-cam showing the real experience of flying a 172, including more than 20 minutes of startup, radio, taxi, runup, etc.
As a rusty pilot, this helped a lot. Good to see all aspects of flight in the video. I felt I was in the plane. Thank you!
I always giggle when I hear a VFR pilot yells “CLEAR!” even though he himself knows not a single soul is a mile near him.
Well, procedure is procedure!
Amen
I've seen YT videos where the pilot yells 'Clear' and at the same time start the propellers. At least this pilot waits for a few seconds in the event someone is in the propeller area.
From the old days of large tail draggers when you really couldn't see if anyone was near the prop.
@@w.r.adams-cooley8096 Those are the same people who signal at the same time they start crossing into your lane
Phi Huynh Yeah! It’s really funny LOL.
That taxi duration was longer than my first solo flight!
robbswiatekfilms I think too.
I was beginning to wonder if he was out for a Sunday drive instead.
Rockslide LMAO
@@rockslide4802 he was.. he took off then turned around and landed like he forgot something.
Because its a controlled airspace
I love how flying is just such an easy thing for him now he just does it after class. It’s like how we go to get something to eat or play video games a bit.
I loved it how the noise of engine came down when he put on the headphones. Really loved it man, although I cannot afford flight school but this was like a dream at 1080p. Thanks.
Joining the airforce is always an option. A lot of commercial pilots go through the airforce first before serving enough time to leave.
And i read your comment at exact same time
@@annona718 You just have to have a STEM degree first iirc
If if can afford outside USA it's very hard licensing of a aircraft
Tarruf taxes, 100+ legal attributes
Licensing not many regional airport so yeah i don't think it's very feasible
The only thing I'm scared if is talking with ATC
"we have an aircraft taxiing on the runway, intentions unclear."
me, with the mic practically in my mouth : "can you hear me now?"
atc: goes fucking deaf
YusukeKira stan welcome to FSX steam edition
@@yungoni6760 I should practice in steam edition more often...
Same
Watch corporate pilot life videos, very clear ATC comunication videos.
I like how you said "Gear is down" in a fixed gear 172. I guess it is a good habit to have though, for those complex airplanes.
It's not really a good habit. In retractable landing gear he'll say same thing and won't do anything. Better not to use to that.
You’re correct mate it IS better to say it. If your checks are actually checks and not just words then you’ll never miss it 👍. reach for the gear handle even when there isn’t one.
@@compasstrans Interesting point. Hmm
@@compasstrans That's only the case if his checks aren't checks. I've met pilots who get complacent and make assumptions. Josh is notorious for being extremely interested in safety, and you can see him visually checking his gear.
@@compasstrans no, if he says it out loud, it is a reminder to himself. It's a smart move to say it.
the MOST expensive but rewarding hobby you can have
one of the most truthful things that has ever been said lol
learned more about the inside of a cockpit from this than any number of videos I could've found instead, thank the lord. Great video, great flying
The nice landings are always when you don't have any passengers
So true
Less weight means you can butter the bread
Jacob Dodd lol true
Easier landings are achieved when you have at least 1 rear passenger as they move the CofG aft thus helping in the flare.
Yeah ikr
positive rate, gear, welded. . .
Lol
And locked.
I love comments like this, makes my day sometimes.
"If possible" try to listen.
POsitiveRate,gearWelded....
Absolutely loved this video. Very informative and easy to understand. I've just started flight training in 172 so this helps me.
I very much appreciate the way this pilot communicates; very concise/specific, practicing safe habits with clear intentions. Video content = A+
I literally just found this video, I saw it 2.5 years ago, it motivated me to start to get my pilot's license finally! Now here I am, half-way through my license and loving aviation!
Did you get your flying license or what ever it’s called
@@bobus5681 Yes! I fly recreationally every now and then, working on buying my own plane now!
ArmyAnt44 Gaming that’s amazing I want to be able to fly one day but I don’t know if I can cause I don’t have 20 20 vision
@@bobus5681 that's ok, you only need 20/70 vision for far distance if it can be corrected to 20/20 with glasses and 20/20 near vision without correction, I'd look into it, you would love it!
ArmyAnt44 Gaming I’ll look into it, flying has been a dream of mine for a long time but I just thought I would never be able to fly because people said you would need 20/20 vision
Man, I really appreciate you explaining your every move on this flight. I wish I was with you. This is awesome!.
Hey Josh, I know this is an old video. But I always loved the fact that you just when up for a few touch and go's, but still find opportunity to teach. True CFI at heart. Love your videos. I watch a lot of them multiple times. "Stay Inspired"-Dewey Paul, Jr
I'll be learning how to fly for the first time in the next few weeks so thank you for the video! It's helping me to review a few things over before starting the program. I'm very very excited.
"Positive rate, gear up."
wait a second
He's flying a Cessna 172RG i think, or its just a habit 🤷♂️
Yeah that threw me off lol
sick picture dude what does it mean ???
"POSitiveRate,Gearup"
I'm not really one for making comments on youtube videos, but i have to say i am in great admiration of your skills. Truly an excellent pilot.
I love how he pretends he is an airline pilot and says "positive rate gear up" haha! i love it! i do it too in my flight sim don't worry!
I'm taking my first flight lesson tomorrow on a 172 trainer, read the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge a few times over the past couple of weeks, printed and memorized flight controls and instrument locations. But your video I feel FAR AND AWAY prepares me better than the material I read for what I'm in for. Thank you for such a terrific first hand experience in what to expect as I progress.
Very cool, love these flights
Hey taco
Yow sup
VeryCool,LoveTheseflights
As someone who is toying with the idea of learning to fly, this video was very insightful. I followed along on Google maps and plotted the course as accurately as I could. It gave me a much better appreciation of the scales involved, as well as patterns and comms. Saying that, I'm in a different country and there may be some differences, but the video is useful nonetheless.
I love the visibility from the cockpit of the 172. The design of the windshield is awesome.
I have so enjoyed this channel since subscribing. You are an excellent pilot, always aware, always safe and truly love what you do. I soloed on Jan 1. 1974. The family came along and flying eventually didn't fit. At seventy I am seriously considering one last attempt at completing what I never finished thanks to you! Great video as always!
From a new pilots prospective, this video’s intimidating.
No - it only makes me wonder if Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 offers various pre-order bonusses when I pre-order RIGHT NOW :D
When growing up with Cessnas and F-16 it`s not intimidating, it`s like going home when stepping into the cockpit.
Honestly his clean landings makes me have confidents in myself
@@juliashenandoah3965 You are delusional
@@juliashenandoah3965 it’s not as similar as you might think.
Frickin 747 pattern...lol. you just did a semi x county flight without leaving the airport pattern area.
Can you do more of these videos? Loved this one
I can!
MrAviation101 thanks. Can you do a full flight? From one airport to another?
I can!
MrAviation101 yes! Thanks!
MrAviation101 your I pad sounds like the KSLC KILO SERRIA LIMA CHARLIE AIRPORT ANNOUNCEMENT.
Can you do a full flight to San Antonio bring your CFi friend and get Chinese food
Ahhhh…….loved this. Takes me back to the 1980’s when I had a PPL (Australia) and flew a Cessna 172. 👍🤗🤩
Perfect point of view! Thanks for the the time and effort to produce these very good videos !
Hey Josh, the full length video and head mount was a nice change up. Saw you above us a few weeks back when we were flying back into KGTU at night. We were quite a bit lower and slower. Buddy of mine just moved into the hangar next to you at KHYI. Small world, might see you around now that his plane is out of annual.
Awesome!
Nice vid man! i just got checked out in almost the same cessna ( different avionics). great landings
Man, when you took that plane down the runway. And took off, that made me feel good!!!! That's was awesome!!!
This is the video that made me fall in love with the Cessna Skyhawk so much that I bought one and learned to fly. Keep it up Josh!! You are an inspiration to many!! 💯
love his self motivation during landing ! amazing
I love how you are so particular with procedure and how you explain all of the little details to your viewers. Subscribing now.
Loved all the interaction with ATC. Thanks for extended video of touch and go’s.
Such a cool video! My grandpa who's 91 had a cessna and that akways inspired me to want to fly sometime too.
This video is super helpful thank you very much!
Just got my PPL, I love watching your videos, it always reminds me how better I can be, keep it up Josh!
One day’ I’ll be a pilot. I’m just finishing my MA degree after that I can up to the sky. Nice flying friend.
Just checked my log book, 2005 was the last time I sat in a 172 as pic. I even remember asking myself if that was going to be the last day I would ever fly. So far, it was. Money, time, responsibilities, etc makes it difficult to continue any flying at all. Was great climbing in the plane with you for the touch and goes! Brought me back to the good old days of running to the airport after work to get an hour of fun time in. Thanks!
@27:41 The short final position report. I really like the way you got the landing clearance through a position report, it was professional and courteous. This is something that will definitely be going in my "tool bag".
Phoenix, AZ.
I took an introductory flight in a 172 today and it was incredible. My instructor was very young, but so professional and competent. Really looking forward to learning to fly as a retired guy.
Talking to atc is amazing, it’s crazy how u can concentrate with every pilot in the area and atc talking and u have to listen i game and that gets annoying pretty fast props to you
I enjoyed it. Thank you for the show. Missing the flying ! Love the equipment setups. Happy landings
I really enjoyed your video. I've not been able to fly for several years. My wife got very sick. Your video let me enjoy the sky again. I was building a cozy mark iv, but that had to go also
This is the first video I ever saw from him and I subscribed immediately after it... I still do not regret that at all to this day...
I had to replay the moment you lift off for the first time a few times. Living the dream through your lens!
Just amazing! Loved this one, and all the other of course.
Hey Josh! Listen, I'm not even interested in flying and know nothing about it but I watched every second of your video straight through and loved you! You have such a great presentation style and a clear, calm voice. Very nice work, sir. Thank you so much!
This video was really cool, It was great to see what the whole process is like. I'm going for my first demo flight soon and this really eased my nerves about flying in a small plane for the first time.
Really loved watching this from Your perspective, as you gave us some details no others do. Thanks for opening the window. Felt like I was there as the breeze flowed through. #AWEsome short approach BTW.
That was a really great 41 mins! I plan on doing my PPL soon and enjoy your videos. Great job!
Nice job! I haven't flown in 3 years and I've been studying for my flight review so it was nice to watch your video.
Thanks Josh always appreciate your videos 👍🏼
That was simply Awesome, well done and thank you for sharing your flight :)
Great video Josh! Hard to believe it was a year ago you took me up on my birthday! Enjoy your spring break!
PistolPete63 Thanks, Pete! Hope you're doing well!
I was wondering why you keep saying “gear up” etc and then perfectly you explained it and it felt like you were actually talking to me. Great vid.
First video of this guy I’ve watched.
It’s so casual. Just like
‘Yah, finished my classes early so ima just take a fly around’
and I love it.
Dude that was awesome. You've made me even more nervous to begin my journey but I won't give up
Such a good video!! The pov view the transition from cockpit auto to headset audio when you put on your headset. The instructional talk. I would hoping to see you touch the clouds but they were about 1,000 feet above as you remained at pattern altitude. Great video outstanding light touch landings. I hope to do these kind of videos soon as I approach my first solo. Would love to fly with you
Awesome ! Thank you for sharing this flight- and sweet landings!
Very interesting video and getting an insight on how pilots operate the flight. I like how they have to analyze whats going on around them. Good stuff :)
This is his best video ever, I have watched this soo many times. He should definitely make more videos with the GoPro like this ñ!
me too
I was just about to comment on the gear up call when u explained it. Some nice landings nicely done ✅
"Flaps up" after the touch and go - reminds me of the time during training I forgot this and started to panic because the Skyhawk wouldn't climb away normally; my mean instructor let me suffer before reminding me of what I'd forgotten to do. He was a tough instructor but thorough.
"Head is always on a swivel." Yep, and it's giving me motion sickness. LOL
I seem to have acquired the bug to fly. This was fun. Now I want fly even MORE!!!! Thanks Jason!
his name is josh
Same bro
"Getting slow and getting uncoordinated is a perfect recipe for a spin" The time you know when it's best to leave the flying to the folks who are laser-focused
I went to a private airfield kind of, like there was a little probably 1,600 ft air strip and a restaurant. And I was there for a boy scout event, and a car show. And I was able to fly a plane for the first time. It is really fun and not scary. Really enjoyed and nice video.
I haven't flown in about 14 years. I miss it and can't wait to start flying again when my student loans are paid!! I can remember exactly how it feels on take off and doing touch and goes.
This is a really good channel if your not a pilot. Very clear and thorough.
Great video Josh, it's nice to see that you don't always have to be bang on 500 feet per minute descent yada yada. I really like this start to finish format it's very very helpful.
You bring back memories. Thank you.
That was beautiful, I love this! I really want to be a pilot now after watching a student making flawless touch and go's! Thanks for the video.👍💪
You still a student?
Great video!! And a smoothhhhh final approach landIng. I love the first person perspective. Do more videos like that when you can.
Really love these full length flight vids!!!
Loved it just as much as you did ...Thanks for posting it
I love the gear call outs in a 172. It's definitely a good habit to make sure it's down and welded, because in the future it might need a flip of a switch. I have yet to land with the gear up, but there was That One Time, when after 3 go arounds (due to them 172's buzzing that airport like it was a raw steak in July) I was a bit slow on extending the gear when turning base, and the tower pointed it out. Who knows if I would've caught it myself. But since then, I've not needed reminders again. Anyhow, my Missus never noticed it, so it must've been one smooth operation.
I don't think I'd find this relaxing. There's soo much going on
I find it relaxing because of the full focus required. Real life is inaudible. Plus you can go to some cool places.
not a pilot but i guess when you’re flying it’s easier and more relaxing
@@marcus2364 these comments are kinda old but yeah speaking as a student pilot it does get easy and relaxing especially with consistency
I flew in cessna like this once, but there was almost no talking like in his video. I guess it was like that because it`s just a small airport, only time the pilot was talking with flight control was before flight.
Once you know how to fly and are good at it it doesn’t take much effort because it all comes natural
Loved the camera from the pilot point of view. This would be a great video to watch before a solo.
Thanks a lot! I feel like a pilot now. Very cool landings! Keep on sharing and inspiring others, Happy Flying!
I watched this awhile back and had lots of questions... but have been flight simming now for awhile and understand alot more. One thing that I will always have a hard time with is the fast chatter of ATC... thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed. Maybe one day I will get my own PPL. And keep up the `positive rate gear up'... if there is one thing I have learned watching all the pros flying, is to not cut corners and keep to meticulous thoroughness. And if others say anything - sucks to be them.
When the controller said “I told you to follow him” I felt that in my soul😂 also a tower controller
what a landing bro, the video was so cool 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing your day !!! Fun !!
this is awsome, I watched this video before starting flight school and currently have just finished my private and holy hell the difference is staggering, i understood everything you did compared to having no clue what was going on XD
You appear to be a fine pilot sir. Thanks for taking me along niner-niner-one!
*this was so helpful, I'm a presolo student pilot and the simplicity of this video is just really helpful* :)
I wish I knew everything what they were talking about on the radio. It is so interesting. Also, great video and explaining what you do!
Very good explanatory video. Your details during flight are incredibly helpful
