Thanks for sharing my brother, I’ll give you some unsolicited advice, you can do whatever you want with these perspectives, it’s up to you of course; remember to yell “clear” right before you switch the master switch to the ON position and right before engaging the starter and the reason you want to yell “clear” right before turning on the master switch is because if you had a little bit of fuel/air mixture left in the cylinders and if turning on the master somehow engages the starter (happened in the past), the engine will start running, so it’s better to stay safe and let people know to stand clear of the propeller even for this minor coincidence. Always treat the prop. as if she’s about to start spinning any moment. Also, it’s good that you want your student to progress and pick up some of the things right away on the discovery flight, that shows you care a lot about your students, however if you do these maneuvers or even try to show them these maneuvers, they won’t know exactly what’s happening as they didn’t get their ground lessons on these things, so learners may respond emotionally such as with anxiety which will yield negative result and learners won’t learn anything and worse yet, they will shy away from learning that thing in the future because it yielded their anxiety. That’s why Discovery Flights are not flight lessons or ground lessons, just maybe a little bit of both, but just a little bit at that with maybe teaching them how to taxi and a little of the takeoff, straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents. And that’s it. But a Discovery Flight should be just going up and flying to somewhere where you can do some sight seeing, maybe to another airport and then coming back. That’s it. Thanks man. And be safe out there.
There is a saying that goes like this: “Education has no end, even Mr. PhD is still learning. I appreciate your input and rest assured; I take every input I get into consideration. Everything you said is 100% on point. Although it wasn’t shown in the video, I make sure that I brief my students on the plan of action for that flight. Thanks again my brother for watching and your input. I’ll see you in next video.
