My thoughts too. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I assume that the students are all foreigners whose language and cultural familiarity with American teaching styles keep them on the quiet side. If it were me in that class, I'd probably be that annoying student who puts up their hand each time with all the answers.
Class is a poor excuse for student pilots Wtf they doing there if they can’t participate or answer extremely basic questions... Respect to instructors with the required patience
In the first lecture, the instructor said I need a student who speaks English. I'm not sure what's going on at that classroom, or the instructor should chill out with his jokes.
Great instructor! I would love to be a part of that class. He deserves students that pay more attention and participate. It would also speed every thing up a lot.
Students aren't necessarily NOT paying attention; they're often intimidated in a group setting because they feel that making the wrong guess out loud will be embarrassing. The instructor's job is to make it OK to make a mistake and use that as a discussion point to help others understand that mistakes are OK. Encouraging active learning is key. I'm not a huge fan of lectures for this reason and prefer one-on-one conversations. Part 141 schools like this do larger "bulk" classroom work, which can work, but you have to follow up with these people to make sure they're taking up the information you're presenting. This guy is very enthusiastic and supportive, frequently using Q&A vs just a straight lecture, which I like a lot.
The students are not learning in their mother tongue, the instructor has may vocabulary references that they need to translate or the easy analog is lost in translation.
Learning to fly in Alaska - got a great laugh when you referred to powering up in "cold weather" as 40°. Flew with my Dad in his 172 last week in -5°F 😂
Love the in-depth explanations of fuel mixture, carb-heat, the dual spark plugs and magnetos. I was taught what to do, but no one ever explained to me the "why" behind the procedures. Now that I know "why", it makes a ton more sense. Thanks for your passion and sharing this great knowledge.
I remember I used to be the same as the students on my first ground classes.I was in the same shoe with language barrier. Even this torch made me smile ))))) and now when I am preparing for solo check and watch this video it makes a huge sense of what's this amazing instructor talking about.
I can't believe this class!! I know nothing about planes and was screaming the answers at my android!! I'd be the star student in this class!! Holy Mother of Moses!
@@SkyEagleAviation I did not see a school in Georgia where I am located. Scott explains things very well with good faith and patience. The Oxy-Acetylene torch example and increasing oxygen to increase my temperature(relative to fuel mixture) was an excellent example. I am an HVAC technician so you using this example was very nice lol.
You would think this was a zoom class with literally nobody responding lmao wtf. I would love to afford to be there and participate. That's heart breaking... This guy seems like a really good and experienced instructor/airman. I've literally been screaming heat at my screen for 19 minutes
Lmao same. I was constantly yelling at my screen while watching. Even if I wasn’t sure about my answer, and ultimately wrong, id still confidently speak.
I think it may be a language barrier. It sounds Ike the class has Russian students. Perhaps they don't understand English as well as is assumed...maybe????
@@SkyEagleAviation 🤣😂😂Yes, I did. What you teach makes me way ahead of my lessons . I should be doing my solo next & by listening to you teach I really don't feel like going to class
I used to be a A&P mechanic for British Airways for 13 years this is a good course for any new comer lots of important information great course guys !!!
I was on my first solo flight as a student ..got to 5000ft and leaned my fuel per the way I was taught ." Keep leaning until you get a slight RPM drop, then go back a quarter turn". A few minutes later my engine started to fail..I could see the prop.. like both blades.. I gasped..my excellent training kicked in however and I pulled carb heat and pushed full throttle and simultaneously started looking for a place to put her down.. Just by chance there was an airport right below at 11 o'clock. I found the frequency radioed in My intentions , while doing a spiral decent (unnecessary)...and landed safely. Back then there weren't many cell phones so I parked and went in to call my instructor. . To shorten this up . He had me do a run up and report back all good.. cancel flight and fly the 30 minutes home along the beach. I did .all Good Conclusion? Mixture too lean.
I twist mixture two turns at least after RPM drop. Yah...guess u had her too lean.. Didn't twist enough after RPM drop. Live & learn. Good recovery tho....
Incredible video. So much fantastic info. Very helpful for me. My checkride is in 3 weeks! Helps me brush up on some things I needed. Fort Lauderdale, here!
Thanks to SkyEagle for posting these! I’m a student, but my instructor is new and I’m married to him, so I wanted to check myself against an in-person class. This instructor is great, and evidently so is my husband! I knew all the things so far, though I appreciated the diagram of the carburetor freezing. Made perfect sense, just like emptying a scuba tank.
Day 2 of watching this series to prepare for flight training! I'm loving this- I'm writing down and looking up whatever I don't understand. I want to fly the big international planes!
Great content! Thank you so much for proving this. I’m just non getting back into flying after a few years and this is perfect to go along with the books. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! I haven't continued my ground classes for a year now and I think, I've forgotten about some things which made me feel unease with attending classes again. But thanks to this, I can have a review first!
When you asked what landing gear we are going to land on, and all I heard was silence, that scared me. Granted, I got the answer wrong, because I picked the rear landing gears, but at least I tried.
If this is what ground school is like, I would never have made it as a pilot. What I did was purchase a video course and watched it over and over until I fully understood every point. I took the written test and passed. Only then did I step foot on an airport FBO to start flying lessons.
The explanations and examples are really good. We can not hear the questions from the students, but overall these videos are very very good. I'd recommend them.
Wow, I would love to have this instructor. It's too bad they don't have a school in Dallas Texas. This is my learning style. His attempt to pull everything he can out of these students is awesome. I hope this is not typical for all his classes. Just sitting here watching the class is a beating. Don't get me wrong I actually got a lot of good information from this video. This drives me, even more, to go after my PPL. Like one person said below. He's not a trained pilot and was able to answer the questions Mr. Leach asked the students. I even answered 99% of them.
Thank you for your feedback Kevin. Unfortunately, we are only located in Ft. Lauderdale but we do have many domestic students from out of state that do train with us as we have housing options.
Kind of a scary thought that some of these people attending this class end up flying an airplane on their own. Most of them clearly seem to have no clue about anything, and zero common sense. I thought i didn't know anything but a lot of this stuff is common sense and pretty easy to absorb. Kudos to the instructor, it must be hard to stand there and teach this stuff with a class that does not participate whatsoever, i'm hoping my instructor is gonna be similar to this guy, excited to start my ground training now.
It seems the students are ESL - English as a Second Language. (Edit: They're Russian, it turns out.) There's a certain lack of confidence in participating in discussions that comes with lacking confidence in your linguistic ability, even if you are technically proficient. A language barrier, no matter how small, can make anyone seem less intelligent or competent than they really are.
I wish he would bounce though things when it’s a right answer instead finish the explanation he started with but over all great videos I love them n appreciate them
Not a pilot yet, looking into lessons. I got most your questions right. However as far as turning a air cooled engine into to the wind to cool. Doesn't the prop provide the air for cooling regardless of wind? Not saying wind doesn't help but isn't irrelevant to a 100hp fan blowing on the engine? Please reply. Thank you
Teach me more how to save my life , flying since in a 1966 in a 150 Cessna! My sister was in the second seat. I was in the cargo space with a 3/4” rope in the cargo space! Around my waste tied to the cargo loops! I was 5 , flew from vegan to the rose bowl in LA. AFTER MY DAD PLAYED craps and won. While he sleeping!! 3rd rc combat in 1997
I'm not trying to be mean, but this class doesn't deserve this instructor. Are they all asleep or what? The instructor is freaking amazing - really keeps you engaged.
Why not use the blast fence? Does 5 10 knots make a difference when you have propellers blowing so much air capable of thrusting the plane into the air as well?
Exactly, the main force of the propeller is in the outside of the blades, to give thrust to the airfoils to fly. The inside airflow of the prop is minimal to the engine, that's why it's not at all recommended running idle a long time on ground, and where wind intake, be it by airspeed in the air or a nice breeze blowing inside headfirst in the ground is essential for air cooled engines
great videos and great teacher but comments are a bit deceiving! no hate but I know absolutely nothing about aviation and flight school and thought this would be great help. Now granted I am deff learning a lot but i am going to have to do a lot more resourcing, reading and researching on my own because there are acronyms being thrown around i have to keep stopping and starting to search things up,,, i.e. ELT had no idea what that was. if someone ends up seeing this and have other resources i should also use, please let me know! i took note from the comment section in the first video to get 1. Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge FAA-H-8083-25C 2. Airplane Flying Handbook FAA-H-8083-3C 3. Aviation Weather Handbook FAA-H-8083-28. so again great videos but if you are literally starting from scratch you WILL need to do a lot of extra work.
I've never been to a flying school and sadly doesn't really have the financial means. Especially being needing to go abroad to study. Is this how usually the foundation or the start of a ground school for PPL?
Wow, absolutely great job instructing. Problem is your class had Zero Commons sense in it. LOL. I am learning a lot through your teachings though, thank you.
Love the George Strait reference @ 17:05! I don't think anyone in the class caught that! Oh, BTW....if you buy that, I'll throw the Golden Gate in for free ;-)
Hi, Thank you so much for this series. Im 15 and I want to become an airline pilot I'm going to wait until I'm 18 to get my ppl so I can apply for loans. What can I be doing now to help prepare for flight school? Thanks!
You're doing all right watching these videos! Keep it up) Read the books and take online courses to be ready for the hardest part - ground school and oral exam)
Thanks For Advance Study I Want To Be Pilot But I Dont Have Money To Enroll My Self In Flying School That's Why Thankyou Very So Much To Release This Video Keep It Sir
Right before my solo, the flight school assigned an instructor I had never met and who could barely speak English to conduct my oral exam. He refused to pass me because he kept insisting take off speed was 60 knots. He was wrong. According to the POH, take off speed was 60 mph. Three times I showed him in the manual where he was wrong and three times he insisted he was right. I finally went to the chief instructor and showed him the manual. Then I fired the flight school and demanded a full refund for that day’s lesson. I soloed a week later at my new flight school.
Hi Damian, We are looking forward to having you. Please feel free to send me an email and I will be happy to answer all of your questions. cris@skyeagleaviation.com
Watching these videos in preparation for my ground school and man, I feel bad for this guy with that class
This dude's amazing!
Don't feel bad. Most of them are already airline pilots.
This class makes me feel like I’m doing great.
exactly my thought hahah
Right?! Lol wtf
I know right...lol... what at the actual fuck
My thoughts too. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I assume that the students are all foreigners whose language and cultural familiarity with American teaching styles keep them on the quiet side. If it were me in that class, I'd probably be that annoying student who puts up their hand each time with all the answers.
@@unlikelyimager547 Yes, I'm answering loud from behind my keyboard LOL!!!
The class needs to wake up and pay attention! Instructor is great, thanks for sharing!
Class is a poor excuse for student pilots

Respect to instructors with the required patience
@@T25de eh, that's a bit more harsh than I was going for.

14:00 :-)
I’ve been an aviation enthusiast for years, this class has made me realize I’m a lot further along than I thought. It’s time to get my license.
Let me know how it goes.
It's been 7 months. You flying yet?

This instructor has the patience of a saint …. If I was teaching this I would’ve smacked everyone in the head about 12 times in the first 45 min
😂😂
I’m an a&p mechanic and these information are extremely valuable and cost money
This instructor is so patient, it is impressive! Thanks for posting, it has been for me at least, a real learning experience.

Cool u live in Alaska great! But nobody cares lmao
@@Straightahead101 and where do you live? Canada??? 😂😂 Shouldn't be making fun of people when you're from somewhere even sillier.
@@pattmahiney Canada lmao! Dead bro 🤣😂
For a 172 I imagine that 40 is considered "cold weather" and therefore you would probably want carb and pitot heat at altitude
He explains things very well. If we had instructors like him in all Flight schools.... people would finish their training alot quicker
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

In my opinion, during run up, it's more important to pay attention to what's behind you regardless of wind direction.

@@tjlovesrachel for that day’s lesson, yes
@@DrSee-mm3zw nice
Can’t wait to be apart of your flight school, I plan to go this summer! Can’t wait to do my PPL
Hi Damian, We are looking forward to having you. Please feel free to send me an email and I will be happy to answer all of your questions. cris@skyeagleaviation.com
What kind of group is this? I can’t believe some in this class have already been flying. It’s like the students were just grabbed off the street!
This instructor has great patience. I seem to know way way way more than these students.
Great video
Appreciate the George Strait reference... Oceanfront property in AZ. lol
I wish I had this instructor 😢
Awesome instructor. Thanks for sharing.
Great video's, thanks. Suggest using a tripod next time!!
On my second video and I feel I should ask:
If I go through all the videos, will I qualify for some level towards gaining my PPL?
Secondly:
What's in it for you since flight schools charge a lot of money for training but I am basically attending for free...
Were the students supposed to have already read some material prior to these classes?
empennage is the tail part
Looks like they need to do chapter 1 again
