@@LewDixAviation I totally agree. Also I would love to have you as my instructor but unfortunately I live in nj so....I can only watch your videos so please keep them coming!
I’m currently at this guys stage in training. Everything feels good but I’m still a bit nervous and unsure in the radio calls. I look forward to the day im 100% comfortable and confident in what I’m saying.
Thanks for the content, but thank your student for being willing to upload video of him learning. The internet is full of unforgiving savages. It takes balls to share mistakes/triumphs with the internet. Thank him for us!
Man this instructor is so good ... I mean with him as my instructor I really don't know what's stopping me from becoming an airline pilot .... awesome job man !!
Great video! That was an amazing landing for a first landing. Not a bad landing for an experienced pilot. And as you say, because the airspeed was nailed, the plane didn't have enough speed to balloon from the bounce, it just settled back down.
Your content is great! This video really helped me as a CFI and working with new students. Thanks, as always, for your great videos. You are helping both students and teachers.
Started flying a year ago. Solo'd in August. Taking my flight test in a few weeks. Your videos are great to help reinforce and review what I lean in my lessons. Thanks
Great flying! 3:47 might be worth clarifying that, at least in the UK, you should give your full callsign the first time you talk to the tower, then keep giving it in full until ATC shorten it, but they often do that pretty quickly. Then once they've shortened it, you can too, just make sure to give it back to them as they gave you it.
I have only had a couple of flights, but i can totally relate to the feeling of a black hole where the brain used to be, when making calls for the first time.
This was awesome. I can't wait to get started, this damn virus has postponed starting my lessons but still hoping to get started sometime in this calendar year
cool Lewdix: if he hasnt cleared the rwy by the time we get there we just shove him away... dont wanna be going around and stuff now because of this guy. Serious Lewdix: we go around...
@@LewDixAviation sorry máster ;D ok so, when you talked to ATC you sayed Executive tower ... But why do you have to say Executive and not just tower(and the name of It) un sorry if you dont understand never mind then, but thanks anyway :D
Aviation Engine ahh I see now! Haha.. I suppose it’s just good practice to state the name of the tower facility you are contacting. Sometimes I do just say “tower” though.
Lew, are you still thinking of buying your own bird? If you had your pick, would you go for a high-powered and complex model, or just something like a plain ol' Cherokee? I know Trade-a-plane.com has tons of listings... 😂
I’d go with an Archer. It’s the right balance between being able to train people and also use it to go places on my own! It’s something I’m looking into but we’ll see
@@LewDixAviation Very magnanimous and brave to allow students to perform smash-and-gos in an airplane you actually own. That's what rentals are for bro! 😂
I've made 1,000's of landings, but I have yet to look all the way down the runway to do it. I make great landings looking maybe 50' in front of the nose.
You're absolutely right.. At our airport ATC shortens the callsign a lot as the aircraft goes in and out of the airport multiple times a day, and shortened it in a radio call that was edited out (disclaimer). I should have made it clearer that I was talking about our scenario on this particular day.
Knowing where Mike is at now, I'm cringing a lot on those radio calls. I mean, everyone starts somewhere, it's just hard to listen to knowing how much he has progressed
The famous question on the first landings..."am I going to land it or are you?"
Fr I said the exact same thing 😂
Ive watched a lot of youtube pilots and you are my favorite by far. Keep it up man. Thank you for your content
Thank you for that huge compliment man!
Too bad for us he got hire....good for him
@@LewDixAviation I totally agree. Also I would love to have you as my instructor but unfortunately I live in nj so....I can only watch your videos so please keep them coming!
Ahh the memories of practicing the calls get it.. Push button brain disconnect
Exactly haha
Literally 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone's been there. Practice.. Practice! Liveatc.net helps a ton!
push the button and suddenly i have a speech impediment
If I was going for PPL in USA then get yourself a flightsim and sign up to Pilotedge.net! Sure fire way to beat those radios!!
You sir, are an OUTSTANDING CFI.
Thanks brother!
Calm and collected as usual. Arse.
😂 Not all heroes wear epaulettes
That's really nice hearing your student hearing "that's gonna take work" all about getting better every flight and never stop learning!
Gaz is always tough on himself, no matter if he does well or badly, he always says there's something he can work on. He's gonna be a great pilot
@@LewDixAviation gotta love that! Gotta keep learning and honing your skills. Don't ever settle
I’m currently at this guys stage in training. Everything feels good but I’m still a bit nervous and unsure in the radio calls. I look forward to the day im 100% comfortable and confident in what I’m saying.
How’s it going now?
Are you still alive

Good job, Mike! Great instruction, Lewis!
Man this instructor is so good ... I mean with him as my instructor I really don't know what's stopping me from becoming an airline pilot .... awesome job man !!
Great video!

Thanks mate! Airspeed is always king!
Your content is great! This video really helped me as a CFI and working with new students. Thanks, as always, for your great videos. You are helping both students and teachers.
Will start my PPL this Saturday. Your videos are so helpful! Keep on this good work! Really enjoy it!
That was the first landing teaching I enjoy best....good instruction....and I dont have a lic yet....good instructor
Everytime I watch your videos and the satisfaction of teaching someone, I feel like going back to instructing.
I only got my license 18 months ago...so great to re live that special moment...first ever landing!
Calm, cool and collected. Great instructing Lewis (and a very good video) Thanks for posting. Take care and stay safe. 🙂 👍 🇬🇧 Tim
Wow that student has a damn good air sense on him if this is only his first few lessons. Very impressive.
Nice job Mike! That's a lot to take in on your second lesson.
Great instruction! Great job on first landing!
Dude you look like an awesome instructor!!
Started flying a year ago. Solo'd in August. Taking my flight test in a few weeks. Your videos are great to help reinforce and review what I lean in my lessons. Thanks
Great to hear that my videos have helped you! And to hear about your progress too!
@@LewDixAviation If I ever get to Florida I might need a familiarization flight on a low wing as I am learning on a 172
Great video !It is amazing how many pilots are not comfortable talking to atc !!
First time landing and talking to ATC was the hardest part, ya did great
Great flying!
3:47 might be worth clarifying that, at least in the UK, you should give your full callsign the first time you talk to the tower, then keep giving it in full until ATC shorten it, but they often do that pretty quickly. Then once they've shortened it, you can too, just make sure to give it back to them as they gave you it.
That's the same rule in the US. He might have clarified but was edited out.
I agree 👍
Great first landing great video keep them coming
Good job 👍🏾
I have only had a couple of flights, but i can totally relate to the feeling of a black hole where the brain used to be, when making calls for the first time.
Love ur vids I am only 12 and I have always wanted to be a pilot since I was 6 years old
Keep the Dream alive!
You can do it too I promise!
Keep at it. Nobody can make it happen other than yourself. It was the best thing that I ever did in my life. You got this!
My advice start saving now lol
My advice is don't be me. Don't let anyone talk you down to another path. Keep your dream alive! You'll regret it in the end if you don't.
Same here buddy! I am 14 tho
He was very chill, no drama at all in the cockpit.
This was awesome. I can't wait to get started, this damn virus has postponed starting my lessons but still hoping to get started sometime in this calendar year
Wow, Mike flies like he's a natural! Are you sure he hasn't secretly done many lessons before? ;-)
Welcome to the ground. Great job!!
Another good video !!! Keep up the great work
He’s a natural!
Great video ❤️ keep it up love the content
Awesome stuff!
Its hard to communicate to ATC if ur training bc i wanna be pilot when i get older
Who knew Lewis was ATC all these times wow :)
JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~
Do you ever fly in KLGB? I thought I heard you the other day on ATC
first time seeing a video with no dislikes :)
"What do we do with that plane on the runway?" Actually LOL'd
cool Lewdix: if he hasnt cleared the rwy by the time we get there we just shove him away... dont wanna be going around and stuff now because of this guy.
Serious Lewdix: we go around...
Are we going to see "AIRSPEED IS KING" on the new shirts, maybe with an ASI graphic?
Bally Good Lessons
What plane is that?
Did they redo that ramp? I wish KISM looked like that! 😂
I would love to have u as a instructor
One question, what is meant by executive tower/airport?
Aviation Engine We’re talking to the tower controller
@@LewDixAviation but why coulldnt you just miss out on the executive? (The first time calling to the tower)
Aviation Engine I don’t understand the question. Elaborate
@@LewDixAviation sorry máster ;D ok so, when you talked to ATC you sayed Executive tower ... But why do you have to say Executive and not just tower(and the name of It) un sorry if you dont understand never mind then, but thanks anyway :D
Aviation Engine ahh I see now! Haha.. I suppose it’s just good practice to state the name of the tower facility you are contacting. Sometimes I do just say “tower” though.
nice

Matt Basford you’re better than the rest of us
@@LewDixAviation no. I just never did it. My instructor told me to and I guess I just fooled him
I'm the exact same, it just always felt more natural for me.
5:04 calls you a Skyhawk 😂😂😂
That's because it was lewdix aviation and they know how much he loves sky hawks!!!!
David Tesch hahaha
He gets an Aviation101 hat after the first solo, right? Is that the tradition?
Yea.. to burn
As a none native speaker it's literally impossible for me to decypher some of these radio calls...
You should only use the last 3 digits of your call sign if ATC says it to you first.
You're absolutely right.. At our airport ATC shortens the callsign a lot as the aircraft goes in and out of the airport multiple times a day, and shortened it in a radio call that was edited out (disclaimer). I should have made it clearer that I was talking about our scenario on this particular day.
@@LewDixAviation I know you know, I'm just a scrub PPL right now. No worries. I went avgeek on you
Knowing where Mike is at now, I'm cringing a lot on those radio calls. I mean, everyone starts somewhere, it's just hard to listen to knowing how much he has progressed
👍💯👮✈
Do you watch football? If so what club do you support
I do. I support Bolton Wanderers
wear a preston shirt next video, you won't do it
You’re right, I won’t lol
A little bit of "bounce" on landing ... You said "float" incorrectly.
Careful, I might charge you double for ground lol
