I can not stand the sound of chewing… I had a manager a few years ago who used to eat triscuts at her desk which was 3 feet from me… sounded like she was chewing rocks.
What a wonderful instructor. Way better than one I had years ago... so laid back and calm. I've learned more watching the videos than I did years ago.... Great job flying
Following along in flight simulator 2020, I'm able to see many of the land marks in your video, especially house mountain and the gold course/dump area
Yes I agree with everyone complimenting the instructor. He is excellent and has a great style that allows the student to clearly understand and follow. He also goes over what he feels is important and explains why he does that. This is all very helpful in remembering. I personally believe the key here is the CFI is prior USAF. My instructor is also prior Air Force and is a lot like this one. I picked up an immense amount of knowledge and unofficial hands on experience as a GIB (back seater) from several pilots I flew with during my air force career. They were excellent and I'm forever thankful.
Bringing back lots of fun memories. Back when I was flying only had the VOR. Putting in this distance before take off going out 20 miles was something we never had. First stall was scary then it got old hat. Was taught full spin recovery. A friend that just got his license told me they never taught him full spins. Has that been removed from training for some reason or did his instructor miss teaching him? I have it written in my log book when I did full spin and recovery. You have a great instructor. Before long landing doing slips will be fun. Crabbing then slips for landings became one of my favorite things to do. Your Instructor is teaching you well, so everything will be second nature and you be able to look out for other traffic. Thanks for taking us along.!!
The best Instructor I have ever seen! Man, go ahead and chew doughnut! It doesn't bother me a bit. Many thanks for sharing these videos. I've learnt many things in them. How can I get the Instructors contacts? I want to request for his time to train me too. Happy landing.
Glad you like the videos and it's refreshing to hear a comment that's not complaining about gum chewing. The instructor's name is John Burt, and he can be reached at 865-742-1782. Give him a call an do some flying!
Great tutorial, the video showed it all that’s note worthy. Commentaries from the back seats, was cause they weren’t in the cockpit, and where their minds were focused on more, than learning or teach one to fly 👍
I personally think it would be relaxing. I remember smacking gum and my instructor doing the same... until I got braces... then only tic tacs. :( Think of it like a stress ball.
In Boise, I learned at the Boise Airport, Class C, and they give us flight following at the schools there... I think its an LOA (letter of agreement) procedure, but we don't even have to specify that we want it, if you state you're going to the south practice area Boise departure/approach never terminates radar services, and just gives flight following. And dep/app rather have you on frequency in contact with them flying around the area, because they can move or restrict you and move others below or above you.... gives them control, and you more safety, second pair of eyes. I like two communication controlled air space :)
I know where this Airport is it took me a minute because I know of McGee Tyson but that’s in Blount County so I remember seeing this Airport from The Tennessee River. Seem like it was all grass runways back in early 2000’s but I could be wrong. It’s possible I couldn’t see the asphalt from the in the boat I was in. I’ve been to Boomsday 2-3 times which is amazing event
I would love to have a straight shooter bubble gum chewer instructor like him. I do believe that when in a airplane it's best to chew gum before you get in the air, relax and draines mucus that may be in your body.
Yeah. I would travel often when I was a kid and my mom always made sure we had a big pack of gum before we left for the airport. If we realized we didn’t have one, thank goodness for the 24 hr CVS in my hometown
This video is awesome and I’ve watched a bunch of your videos if I was in your seat I wouldn’t have been able to deal with him chomping his gum into the comm… I can hardly put up with it watching the video
Never one time did I ever see a clearing turn.... FYI dont do clearing turns during a checkride guess what u get to do the checkride again..... That is just as important if not more important than getting flight following on a training flight in the training area......
Excellent point. Clearing turns should always be performed before maneuvers (reference Airplane Flying Handbook FAA-H-8083-3B). In this video, although it was not explicitly called out, clearing turns were done in concert with the 360° turns between 17:19 and 18:23.
What kind of gums is this? spring-loaded? Though, a wonderful and informative instructor, wonderful aircraft and promising pilot. Thanks for the upload.
I'm on my 4th lesson with this CFI. He takes payment by module. First module includes beginnings of flight plus simulator, then you move to a Citabria for aerobatics. All segments of PPL are paid by module. You can get your PPL for just a bit over $9000
Joe M You want to wait about 5 min before you start testing/checking instruments. The gyro instruments take a few minutes to spin up and fully erect to indicate properly. Also, it’s important to check your instrument indications during your first protected turn while taxiing, doing so will make sure that your instruments indicate correctly during a turn.
Everybody has a system that works to their own advantage. Rental airplanes have a "Hobbs meter" with an oil pressure-activated switch, so you're clocking time (and paying for it) when the engine is turning. On the other hand, the airlines have switches on their landing gear so that their planes (and so their maintenance schedules) mark time only when the wheels are off the ground.
Instructors in the United States Marine Corps are not so nice I was training to be a A-10 pilot. Thank God I feared my instructor more than crashing the plane. I was taught fear is nothing the Marine Corps pilot experiences but gives to our enemies.
just saw this series, Anyone know for sure what aircraft this is? He could throw us that bone. Cessna 172, 182? LOVE the CFI. Shame the audio keeps cutting out.
I'm so sorry Mr flight instructor but we are going to have to cancel this and all subsequent lessons immediately. I'm not paying money to listen to your chewing gum like a five year old girl. How is a student suppose to concentrate with that disgusting noise going on ? If this guy lacks the personal awareness not to know that loudly chewing gum whilst teaching is not only dangerous, disgusting, and just downright rude then what else is he missing?
oh thats what the noise is... I couldn't figure out what the wach wach wach noise was...I dont think its the instructor chewing though...watch the mouth of the pilot flying..
Holy cow.....I would jump out of the effing window, do I didn't have to wait for a mountain to fly into, just to get away from the instructors chewing with his effing mouth open.
I can remember my third lesson my instructor said check your testicles left and right if you mess up and you don't follow my instructions I will remove both of them that got my attention.
Love the interaction between you and CFI, and that was a LOT to swallow during your first lesson. I concur with the CFI that flight simulation software is a very good investment, but ONLY if you invest in the appropriate control devices. Sounds like you did, and it served you well. And enough with the chewing gum complaints, guys! Sheesh. You all need to go get laid or something.
Hi Captain Tommy I’m 54 how do I go about pursuing a PPL - I have taken subjects - Math physics chemistry and English language I have completed my pre college degree many thanks Captain
Keep on with your gum instructor sir! He's earned the right to chew all the gum he wants and doesn't give a crap if it annoys someone. You cry babies don't deserve an instructor at his level.
Lip-smacking is like fingernails being scratched down the blackboard of my spine. The instructor seems like a great guy though, so I'd feel incredibly remorseful after chucking him out of the plane in frustration.
He's tearing that wrigley's up.. He's old school so Im betting it's double mint.
Chomp chomp chomp... Ish
I can not stand the sound of chewing… I had a manager a few years ago who used to eat triscuts at her desk which was 3 feet from me… sounded like she was chewing rocks.
@@Ny_babsSame here. Couldn't watch this vid. I would have told dude to spit that shit out.
Reminds me of Seatle head coach
This instructor is first cabin straight up! Hat is off to this guy. This student should be feeling very confident he is flying with the best!
What a wonderful instructor. Way better than one I had years ago... so laid back and calm. I've learned more watching the videos than I did years ago.... Great job flying
Exactly
What a gift this series is, thank you both so much for making this available ❤
Definitely
Your instructor is a book of knowledge. Hats off to him and thank him for his service.

First video he said he was USN
@@fredj63 ok in reference to what…?
@@natural-born_pilot Flew F4's
I think this is been a great series of videos regardless of the gum chewing. thanks for the posting.
Haha, the only thing that's been getting on my nerves watching this- but I'm powering through cause all the knowledge is fantastic
Rudder. The lost arts are some of the best arts. Thanks for posting this.
I really like the instructors syle his work is square and true.

Cannot skip anything, don't know at what time he gonna throw a Gem of experience --- Awesome!
Wish John was based near me. I need a CFI like him. Tommy, you are lucky to have John as your instructor!
Great tips from an obviously great instructor. Thanks for sharing
Seniors like him are gems
I have my ppl lesson one tomorrow, on my 15 birthday! 😃 this series has been extremely helpful, wish me luck
How’s it going a year on? I have my first this week!
These videos are awesome, thanks so much for putting them together!

@@tommythomasson476 Well at least they're telling why so you know why they stopped watching.
Love your instructor!
Chewing gum just makes me feel comfortable; like during baseball practice.
I'll remember rudder into a turn for eternity.
🎉

was cause they weren’t in the cockpit, and where their minds were focused on more, than learning or teach one to fly 👍
Am jealous on just how good his instructor is
“And we’re fast” and buttered that landing holy shit
Thanks for the whole series man!
Loved it - felt like I was the one filming - TY for sharing!!
The CFI loves to smack that gum. That would drive me crazy!
Beretta96Dan You better dont become a pilot if some gum smacking is distracting you!
I personally think it would be relaxing. I remember smacking gum and my instructor doing the same... until I got braces... then only tic tacs. :(
Think of it like a stress ball.
Phil B It’s definitely the CFI! You can really see him smacking at 20:13! Hahaha
Yeah theres no reason to chew with your mouth open like that. Very annoying!
When I was taking lessons and I heard that.... I think I would have taken up skydiving..
I didn't even notice the chewing until my wife said "What is that noise?"
I'm having a hard time watching more than 5 minutes into the video due to the chewing. Holy crap.
Lol

That chewing gum he is going to town with is for sure going to heaven, because he has chewed the hell out of that one
That gum chewing is hilarious!😂😂😂
Great video though!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The amount of information would fry my brain but hats off to the instructor.

I thought the Instructor would start slurping on a Big Gulp at some point.
I like your instructor also. Im on my 3rd instructor here in houston.
Got half way through and couldn't take the damn crewing anymore.
That's an interesting landing
Greaser landing...very good!
Did the student actually fly any of that? Bloody hell, the instructor seemed to be ‘in control’ the whole time.
Hey I think I seen Pilot 310 flying by:)

LOL - "Taxi a little faster than this."
how did you do the connection with the headsets?
Great Instructor :)
That GUM!!!!! Must be extremely delicious.
I wonder why the instructor never corrected you on saying runway 80
some CFI’s pick battles and that wasn’t one for him
OMG that gum smacking!
Not using call sign when acknowledging atc?
I trained at olive branch and yes you do call Memphis
The position of the pupil seems to be IN the roof of the cabin, doesn't it?
Me: what's that sound * Nawing sound *
Him :chewing gum
Man that was a fucking stressful landing. I was stressed. Handled like a champion. 👍🏻☺️☺️
How much on the $ is an hours flight fee ? Just thinking.

My god how did you do it with that chewing gum? *Facepalm* *mutes sounds*
Hey what do they mean by simulator? Like on PC or the ones they have at the flight schools?
Chewing gum very good !
Random silly question to ask .. what's the 1-2 thing that they were talking about ..?
Magnetos
Should you not do all the instrument testing and adjustments before taxing ?
Joe M You want to wait about 5 min before you start testing/checking instruments. The gyro instruments take a few minutes to spin up and fully erect to indicate properly. Also, it’s important to check your instrument indications during your first protected turn while taxiing, doing so will make sure that your instruments indicate correctly during a turn.
@@alexharcrow8211 OK, thanks for the reply and info.

How does logging time work? Is it only for when the wheels leave the ground to touchdown? So this was 30 minutes logged?
Nope. If the plane is on you’re logging time.
Everybody has a system that works to their own advantage. Rental airplanes have a "Hobbs meter" with an oil pressure-activated switch, so you're clocking time (and paying for it) when the engine is turning. On the other hand, the airlines have switches on their landing gear so that their planes (and so their maintenance schedules) mark time only when the wheels are off the ground.
I ask, what kind of camera setup did you use to do this?
Instructors in the United States Marine Corps are not so nice I was training to be a A-10 pilot. Thank God I feared my instructor more than crashing the plane. I was taught fear is nothing the Marine Corps pilot experiences but gives to our enemies.
My 1st turn around a point was on my checkride. I'm glad I was a pretty natural stick and rudder pilot.
Bro the gum though! Lol
didn't realized how much u can do under 1 hour
Getting trained in Tuscaloosa Alabama
hey man great videos !!! hey how many times u flight a week?
i wantt to do my PPL and school says i have to flight at least 2x a week
The flaps are there for a reason
just saw this series, Anyone know for sure what aircraft this is? He could throw us that bone. Cessna 172, 182? LOVE the CFI. Shame the audio keeps cutting out.
Bookoo c it's a 172. 182 has a constant speed prop
They refer to it as a Cessna Skyhawk at 3:00 - and the call numbers are 4331R - registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=4331R
As the others have said, it's a Cessna 172M.
i could watch this shit all day
Who's chewing the gum
Someone chewing gum in the headset it used to absolutely drives me nuts. Lol
Holy mackerel I would purposely fly the plane in to a mountain if I had to listen to that incessant chewing.
LOL LOL LO !!!

@@b58f18 lmao
The instructors chewing gum I don't blame him at all he ought to just simply smack the student like wake up. Just joking.
What an instructor but... That chewing gum noise though
AHHHHHHHHGGGGGGG! The gum smacking.............
How did you get coms in the camera?
Westin Tucker cable for the gopro
one of the only downfalls of getting a generic go-pro, you don't get the mic port.
Gum chewing not a problem. Pilots should not let the small stuff bother them.
That's not small. That's the most annoying sound to have to listen to. Seriously makes one want to punch babies.
I agree. If gum chewing distracts you, you don't need yo be a pilot.
Matt Basford Try preaching with a headset on when someone chomping their gum into it. I would definitely be using my PIC authority to make it cease.
Chuck Barnett I fly a 172 and 182 with all kinds of distractions in my ear.
Maybe not on the exam ride, don't want to piss off your examiner.
But otherwise, I think of it like a stress ball.
Keep on with your gum instructor sir! He's earned the right to chew all the gum he wants and doesn't give a crap if it annoys someone. You cry babies don't deserve an instructor at his level.
Yep I agree, he's already got me on the rudder importance put the left foot back on take off climb.
I love the trainer, great comments and training. Great guy... but the gum chewing... I could hardly take it.
Dude, the gum was too much! Good flyin!
Someone's chewing that gum pretty hard lol
I cannot watch another second of these videos until that CFII stops the constant smacking!
Bet that gum was good.
The gum chewing🙉
way to close in the cab to try and lean all this . Beside not confoable at all i see that
This instructor would drive my nuts...Too hands on. Let the pilot get a feel for it and allow for minor mistakes.
Brilliant instructor but the gumchew in the comms would be really irritating.
Lip-smacking is like fingernails being scratched down the blackboard of my spine. The instructor seems like a great guy though, so I'd feel incredibly remorseful after chucking him out of the plane in frustration.
The instructor reminds me of my instructor, except for the annoying gum chewing.
