David, a student pilot seeking his private pilot license (PPL) is back for another flight lesson. This time we hit the traffic pattern, practicing both outside the airport area during air work, and bringing it back to the airport to practice landings in our flight school Cessna 172. He wanted to know how to become a pilot, and now he's getting the REAL deal.
Learning how to land a plane, and flight training for that matter, isn't easy, but it has the best success when flying the airplane well during the traffic pattern and approach. Set it up right, and everything will come together. General aviation is where it's at! And it's just so fun to learn to fly.
There are many elements to a traffic pattern. First, is flying the airplane. It's the golden rule in aviation to fly the airplane first. From there, you've got to think about the traffic pattern communication and traffic pattern radio calls. At first, I have my student pilots just fly the aircraft and focus on that, then go to the traffic pattern radio calls later.
Once you get the traffic pattern, then learning how to land a plane becomes a much smoother process. You're going to see that throughout this flying lesson with David. Things really start clicking for him.
Private Pilot training is actually a ton of fun. As a CFI, I really enjoy the initial hours of aviation training with a student pilot. Instilling those initial flying skills is rewarding, and actually fun.
Of course, Alaska as a back drop for our flying lessons is quite nice. Angle of Attack has the perfect HQ! There's no better place for a flight school.
If you're wondering how to get your pilot's license, well, you just gotta jump in and go like David has been doing.

Thanks for being here! In the comments -- what was something you struggled with while learning patterns? Let's hear it in the chat!
Radio comms where a little overwhelming at first to be honest.
Learning rudder control. Staying on glide slope while using rudder to stay on extended center line was a big learning curve. Once you get it, it becomes second nature.
Turning from base to final, and actually being lined up
Landings! But man now I'd say landing an airplane is my favorite thing to do. Nothing else like it.
Pitch for airspeed, power for altitude did not click with me until my commercial training. Now I have my first student (and he is about where your student in the video is at), I'm trying to really make a point to be sure I teach things the way I wish I would have had or to notice if I need to change things up to help my student understand better. It has been fun watching him learn though!
Lol Kevin reading the ATIS like an auctioneer. I think you guys might want to let him outside once in a while.
NEVER
cracked me up!🤣
The key for me when learning to land (and I still am learning!!) has been speed management. If I can maintain the correct speed on each leg, I have a much better chance of a sweet little landing!
Thank you for your excellent teaching videos! When I was about 10 y.o. my dad and I used to go flying in a Cessna 172 that he rented. Although he is no longer alive, those were such great memories together and best times ever!...sigh. I have the bug bad to learn to fly now...I love your teaching style and the way you encourage and inject humor to keep your students relaxed. I so wish that I lived in Alaska...I would choose you as my instructor for sure if you are accepting students!!
Blessings!
Paul
Keep doing these videos, I’m 11 lessons in doing my PPL , Cambridge UK. I’m finding them very useful as I can relate to them very easily …! I’m loving learning to fly, it’s great learning a new skill. Thanks again Charlie
Chris, one of the things I appreciate most about your style is that you seem STILL, after all these years GENUINELY enjoying the vistas of flying itself. Of course you have frickin ALASKA as your scenery!!! But even while training you're commenting all the time about how beautiful something looks and watching out the window - watching beauty. I'd SO get my arse to Alaska to train with you if I could! This training series has been invaluable.
Thank you both for sharing!!! It was really good to watch you work through this with him. Its a blessing to truely see the process of learning on social media. I am enjoying my own flight training so much, but some days have been harder than others. I'm so thankful for David sharing his progression. He is killing it!!
Yeah, he's doing awesome.
Really enjoying your videos. As a new student of aviation (and as an educator) I really appreciate your style and method, and I'm walking away with some new ideas after every video. Thank you!
Inspiring video, thanks for the quality content. Liked and subscribed.
These are helpful for me as I am training and able to absorb more instructor feedback. The things you cover are really helpful especially this pattern work which I am focusing on right now. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.
Glad you like them! Make sure to subscribe.
More of these! So helpful for folks working on CFI certificate. THANKS!
More to come!
I have struggled with proper airspeed. I think that by him explaining what he is doing out loud is very helpful. I find that when I talk to myself I do better.
Awesome video. Loads of learning. My landings improved dramatically after watching this. Thanks a bunch.
Chris, Nice job on the video. Really liking the live student training and David is doing well. I struggled with transitioning at the correct time. Always a little bit high. Still to this day I will catch myself a little early. Doesn't make for a smooth touchdown. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.
Really interesting stuff. I’m hoping to train as a CFI next year and your comments, techniques and style are great reference material!
Great to hear!
Was interesting to note your comment that student needs to keep nose on the horizon. But looking at the video instructor sits much lower than student so different views out front ..suggest 23:42 . That's a lesson I learned sometime ago. Easy to overlook
Yeah, I've thought about that. But it's close enough.
Thanks for providing an insight into how it's like for student pilots, I find them really helpful
Thanks so much!
These videos are so helpful right now!! Glad I found this channel!! Thank you!
This is exactly what I begin working on starting tomorrow on my 3rd lesson. Great video!
Great video! Thank you! The last segment was great on visualizing the runway at landing.
Your exrperience is awesome!! is a pleasure watch this kind of videos.... Thank you so much for share these with us
that was like the perfect day for flying. looks amazing
Perfect day! You teach the best...
Thank you! 😃
Radio traffic even on the uncontrolled airport it is SoCal and the traffic can very quickly overwhelm a student pilot and be very intimidating. 2nd was keeping consistent airspeed in the transitions to downwind, base and final. 3rd....and I still struggle with this is the transition to the flair and getting my eyes down the runway to stay centered. It still happens "too fast" in my mind and has yet to slow down in my mind so I am comfortable. Landings are really high stress for me, and I am having real problems becoming confident. I would like to just keep doing it until I get it. That how I learn. My instructor wants to go and do lots of other maneuvers and it burns time so I only get about 3-4 landings in per lesson. slowwwwwwww progress.
Good flying David! Great video.
The next video is even betterr!
Landings didn't click for me till I realized that trim was my best friend all the way to the runway.
Awesome.
Me too. Also learning to look all the way down the runway and away from touch down point.
@@swlubinus Agree. Although I am pretty inconsistent in looking away from the TD point.
Hell yea David. Good job bro.
Use the feet to positions the nose on the centerline of the runway not the ailerons once I got familiar with this I could almost land without touching the yoke just trim and power. Great lessons you can see something new learned with every lesson your going to turn out a good pilot.
Consistently fantastic content, Chris!
Thank you!
Great video my man.
Great video as always. Homer looks so nice!
It's the best.
Thanks for all
I really appreciate what you do
I learn from all situations
Thanks lots
This is. Dope. I’m in ground school now.
Useful Tips which are really helpful.
Really great 👍...Capt✈️
Love your videos thanks for sharing
G, day AoA from Sydney, Australia.
* Lesson (2) good coordinated descending turn. 🌏🇦🇺
Bravo 👏🏻these videos are the best examples for student pilots like ne thank you ☺️
Thank you.
video was great I have been struggling with landings this has given a couple of ideas to go over with my instructor
Glad it helps!
Keep it up - you'll get there faster than you think!!
He sure will.
rock on! keep up the practice!
Yup.
i love your videos man keep it up, im actually gonna be flying soon with my instructor
GREAT video
Thanks Troy.
I wish I could move to Alaska and take lessons with this guy learning a lot.
Could you Fly down Sadie Cove sometime while filming? I built an A frame cabin halfway down on the left just past wilderness lodge at another little point that juts out, and just wanted to see If anything is left of it. I built it in 1971. Since I left Alaska I got my licenses, a couple thousand hours, and sadly let my CFI expire in 1980 and about ready for my reinstatement ride.
I want to come see you and do some flying with you when I can, and if you get down to jacksonville Florida, we will do some flying here. Really enjoy the videos and they help with getting back into instruction and talking through maneuvers!
Thanks!
Jim
This is exactly where I am in my training, 6 flights in. Still nervous before every session. I can't wait for that feeling to go away.
you guys airport seems like so much fun😂
Good stuff.
I would love to come up and fly with you. I just started flight training in Montana. Your videos are awesome and I could learn a lot from you.
Real good video. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
That has got to be the most beautiful airport to learn to fly. I'd love to go there to take lessons, but i don't live in alaska :D
i like the ATIS!
He rocks.
love the atis guy
Nice video! 😉
Thanks!
Got me thinking. You teach leveling off by reducing power first, then pushing forward. The first time I leveled off on downwind in the pattern I pulled the power first, I did it too much, and my instructor had to push hard to prevent a stall. I've been leveling off by pushing first, then checking airspeed, then reducing power ever since.
I wonder what the correct way of leveling off after a climb is under IFR, I don't have IR so no idea :)
Terrific as ever. Would love to see what the trimming looks like in the video.
Amazing video
Thanks!
Thank you
You bet!
i wanna be a pilot so damn bad.. you literally have my dream job.. cfi in ak ..maybe some day..
Best videos ever
Thanks man! Congrats on winning the live chat drawing. Make sure to get a hold of us at that email.
@@angleofattack How long should I expect an email back?
Here is the question for this TH-cam
when you remove the power to 1500 RPM, pull the carb heat on isnt the nose will sink down. Do you trim the nose up to prevent the sink nose?
Gosh I want to fly in homer so bad. All I've done are flights out of PAMR, although I have done a solo XC flight to homer.
It'll happen, you'll get down here!
How long is your typical flight lesson? I had scheduled 3 hours on my last lesson and my CFI stopped at 2 hours. I would have liked to have more practice at each maneuver rather than just one left turn one right turn Etc. This was only my second flight so I need a lot of repetition to get muscle memory developed. Love your channel and especially your lessons with David I've seen maybe four I'm wondering if you're going to follow through his entire course to check ride.
I HAVE to come to AK. I just have to. It's official.
Yes you do!
If I ever make my way up to AK and I'm in your area, I'd love to go for a flight! AK flying looks so much cooler than here in flat, flat Texas. Are you talking to flight service before departure? I assume that's an Alaska thing?
Yeah, Alaska has the only FAA funded Flight Service. Still very useful here.
Living and flying in and around Atlanta we will take Kevin. At least you can understand him.
Hey what's the intro song I can't find it and its hurting my brain:/
Just curious, what software do you use to make your videos? They are done very nicely!
For me though, was learning to maintain a good pattern and my distance from the runway while on downwind. You don’t think it’d be too big of a deal, until you are on your base and can see you are already low or high.
Yeah, that's always important.t
I asked on one of the other videos. Are those Hooker inertia reel seat belts? And what prop is on that bird? Climb or cruise? Great video as always.
Cruise prop, and yes, those are hooker shoulder harnesses.
@@angleofattack Thank You. I fly a D model and need to upgrade. BAS seem to be the only reel type belts until this. They are quite expensive. Thanks for answering my questions. Great videos.
Glad this guy was real - I hate those fake student pilots ;)
Have you seen fake student pilots?
@@angleofattack lol, you’re the one who put “real student pilot” in the description 😜 You even capitalised it.
If I start the engine and hear that ATIS - I freeze for a minute, then shut down and go home. I don't need any more flying experiences, I've already seen it all!
✈️♥️
teachhhhh meeee capt
Do you get use to motion sickness the more you fly?
For sure.
Wait--I am confused, does your 172 have a speed readout in mph? You are always mentioning speeds in mph to him, I'd really love to know why!
Yes. It’s in MPH and on the outside. Easiest to see. So that’s what we use.
Parzival 4741 - lots of older Cessnas (most old planes in general) have airspeed indicators in MPH. I think it was around the 172N where knots became the default configuration. Many older ones have been retrofitted over the years though.
@@pacadet @Angle of Attack wow that's crazy! I am a young aviation enthusiast and all I've ever know is knots!
I sent a text about a week ago... no reply. :(
Where?
The ATC sounds like an auctioneer!
What happened with the Atis or metar 🤣🤣
Good posting but felt student needs more look out on traffic pattern
What do you mean?
The instructor looks so bored and not comfortable
