I went back into the archives and pulled out a video I made with one of my students. Jay is both a student and a friend. He wanted to see who could land the Cessna 172 the best. enjoy
Next time Jay needs to add airspeed at touchdown as a judging criteria. Maybe it's the camera but it looked like his spot landing had a higher AOA than yours. Spot landings are easy if you don't care about putting it down with extra speed. 😉 I love that he's challenging himself by challenging you, it seems like a great way to get skills up! And fun!
Excellent to see this. Jay is doing well and working on getting better. You remind me of my brother. He made the same razzing comments like "Look at that center line". A nice way to push a student to demand more of themselves and get better without pressuring them.
Excellent video, with a little competition is more fun to learn! Nice job Jay and Alex! 👏👏👏
It really is! Thanks Rafael
This was a really fun video!
Thank you! I’m a huge fan of your videos.
I really enjoy these short daily videos, wish we could fly every day up here in the northeast.
Thanks Jason, we are very fortunate out here in California
Great fun - thanks for posting!
Thanks Jeff! It’s been a blast making the videos
Great flying Jay !! (Alex you’re alright too 😉)
Haha he’s going to be better than me in no time. More raw talent and that crazy work ethic

Haha you can’t give him all the hints right off the bat.
Awesome!!!
Thanks Stewart!
I loved his comment about F70s god awful AWOS remarks they refuse to got rid of lol.
I think the same thing every time haha
Hahaha I used to fly out of F70 as an instructor and we got complaints constantly for just flying standard patterns in a 172
I could do that for hours.. one of my favorite things to do. One day I’ll master nasty deep slips
It’s mainly all I do in the cub when I fly it. There’s something calming about doing some bounces late in the afternoon
The King of BUTTER no one has a chance against you
Haha he’s going to be beating me soon. He flys that 172 so much more than I do

Haha I’ve found that’s the best way to keep them motivated but not discourage them with the criticism.
He’s a really solid pilot. I have no doubt in my mind he will be better than me at landing the 172 soon
Great job Jay, you are close to putting Alexander in YOUR pocket... Keep practicing....
Haha it’s only a matter of time.
Straight tail 172 is such a great plane for that, so much fun just playing in the pattern! Good job Jay!
They really are, it’s a beautiful flying airplane
