.
. David, a student pilot, is working on his private pilot license. He flies at my flight school, and we're about 4 lessons in. After a handful of lessons, he's doing great, and we're starting to dial in this landings as he learns how to land an airplane. As a CFI, this is a really fun part of the flight training.
In this episode, we're working the traffic pattern during his flight training. Additionally, we start with some airwork to make sure he understands the stick and rudder skills required for the traffic pattern.
It's been fun being a part of David's aviation journey to becoming a private pilot.
2:10 Steep Turns
We start with steep turns. One of the reasons I emphasize steep turns early in the training is because of load factor. That feel of the load factor is something I do not want the student feeling while they are landing, so to understand that concept is really important.
6:14 Scenic Break
Don't forget to take a break from training every now and again. Looking at the scenery while flying the airplane is just something we need to do now and again. That's why we're doing flight training after all, to experience that aviation adventure.
6:95 Arrival Procedures
Arriving at the airport can be particularly difficult. Planning for our descent, making radio calls, running checklists, checking weather, and a handful of other operations. This can make things rushed, so make sure to take all the time you need to plan your landing.
12:05 Unstable Approach + Go Around
A successful landing starts with a successful and smooth approach. In this case, we have an unstable approach because we are too high and too fast. I teach David to go around, in the power up-pitch up-clean up steps. Learning to go around is certainly part of the entire process of learning how to land and airplane.
15:15 Monkey See, Monkey Do
Sometimes students just need to observe and see how to pull all the pieces together. We can talk about steps as a CFI or flight instructor, but the transitionary steps in between are tricky to explain. Seeing is believing, and when it comes to seeing the instructor do things, it really helps a lot. A lot of students are overwhelmed when learning how to land an airplane. Just a few approaches and landings, even though I'd love the student to have all of them.
19:25 All Together Now!
Now we bring all the pieces together as David does his last pattern. There are a few you didn't get to see, and we get to see the final pattern where it's clear he's made a ton of progress. In learning how to land an airplane, it just takes a lot of patience.
Altogether, David is doing a great job working on his private pilot license and putting the pieces together quite well. Really proud of the work he's done, and it been a lot of fun to be his CFI as he learns to fly.

Steep turns must be tough to practice without a constant horizon. Those pesky, beautiful mountains.
It is a little tricky. But beautiful!
If you keep putting this good content you will be BIG in one or two years, keep it consistent. Good job!
Ha, been around a long time. But yeah, trying to get all this to pay off!
Damn. I kinda thought he was already big.
@@217pilot He is and he is awesome! What I am saying is that with this good content he can be even bigger.
@@angleofattack I am going to Pilot training for the air force soon, you always inspire me! thanks for the valuable content.
@@AlejandroRojas-un1ns Lol. All good, I understood the context. Just poking a little fun.
This was great for me to watch. As a student pilot I am a wimp…first time I tried steep banks I also didn’t pull back enough on the yoke, but what really messes me up was the anemic 1.4 (about) G forces. I was not prepared for how that made my head and body feel after only doing nice 30 deg banks. CFI kept (much more aggressive than this ..CFI) barking “pull back, pull back, pull back” and also the strength I needed to do that. I just wasn’t prepared for both G’s and just how much force one has to use on the yoke.
Watching this helped me. Thanks!
As a student pilot it is fun and interesting to watch a student that’s just a few hours behind where I am in training to see them mentally “click” on things that I struggled with a few hours back. It’s reassuring to see we all struggle. I was laughing out loud when he remembered ‘mixture’ during GUMPS. I would recite that day and night then brain fart in the plane for the longest time. That said, the further along in training I get the more I’m realizing how much more I have to learn....(the more ya know the more you realize ya don’t know s**t) 🤦🏻the learning never ends.
So true.
Nice. Great video! On steep turns, I didn’t see any trim changes (might be hidden in video). What I found really helped my students (in 172s) is two full turns of trim as rolling in to your bank and introducing back pressure : Grasp the trim wheel with thumb and index finger at the very top, and rotate it nose up all the way til your fingers hit the stop at the bottom, then repeat. Instant level steep turn. As they roll out and are pushing forward, trim comes out in reverse order.
It was so good to see your student's approaches get better and better. Keep up the good work Chris!
Love these videos. Can’t fly anymore but these videos make me smile every time. Brings back memories of being student pilot.
Very cool!
Nice video, When I was training for my PPL, on a go around it was made clear that after full power, keep the nose level so you build air speed first
retract one flap, then slowly pitch up to and retract the rest of flaps to prevent a departure stall. This is especially true when you have pitch set for nose up on Landing and you don’t change it on the go round part. Thanks for these great videos.
Great thoughts!
Good point. A student pilot lost his life 2 days ago attempting a go around. He was landing on a 3200' strip, landed long and bounced. He tried to go around and powered up, the nose went up and he didn't pitch down to gain airspeed and stalled out at 200 ft. Plane rolled left and nosed in.
Thanks for all you do Chris! I did your Ground School and loved it. I got my PPL in August and am now working through my Instrument! Keep up the awesome work. I’m loving the weekly emails too!
ClEaR! You’ve taught him well. Thanks to your teaching me that when I found you in Aviation101’s Alaska series, I’ve hilariously startled by standers, embarrassed my wife and pilot buddies and made my dad laugh. So priceless!! This was an excellent video!
Premier format was awesome. Love the live chats!
It's a lot of fun.
I loved flying. One of the challenges I always had was radio comms at controlled airfields. Even though I always trained out of a controlled airfield listening to the ATM rattle off instructions and responding back with appropriate comms while flying the plane was a challenge for me.
This has been a great series glad they are coming together.
Glad you’re enjoying it.
I appreciate the way that you teach your students with patience and a calm demeanor,I would enjoy sitting in the seat next to you.Thank you both for sharing this ride.
Wow, thank you
I just had a rough day with my first real touch and go landings. This video helped to explain a few parts I was missing. Thanks for the positive energy and the content.
Happy to hear it helped.
So much fun following you and now this more week to week student training series. Helps those of us 'visual/auditory' learners get read for ground school and air training better to have all this video input. I know the common disclaimer is 'don't use this in place of real training'.. But again, for visual/auditory learners, this is INVALUABLE 'prep'.. Yes.. 'prep' not 'replacement'.
Hey Chris. I’ve just done my 4th hour of training in Nova Scotia Canada. Just touched on 45 degree banks and I struggled as well maintaining altitude. I wasn’t pulling back hard enough. I also attempted to land. Great pattern and stabilized approach but bounced the landing so instructor took over. Really liking following along.
You’re facing things that everyone does. Keep it up! Youll get it.
Excellent. Just starting. Reading and watching your videos. Next a friends simulator. Then in a month or two my gifted first flight lesion out of Sydney NY. Your videos are great. Thank you.
Student pilot here. I'm only at my third flight, so a long way to go.
You'll probably find this funny, but to me so far, the hardest thing has been taxiing! My brain is hardwired to use my hands and feet to drive a car and it is so disconcerting! Radio communications are also challenging.
I've done a decent amount of on-track driving. Breaking the hand/foot muscle memory was really hard when I started flying.
Those are both common. I tell my students it’s harder to taxi than it is to land. Sometimes that’s true.
You are doing well as an instructor. That brought back a lot of memories from 2001/2002 during my training. Great stuff! I think David will do well under your instruction. Thanks for the Vlog!
Thank you!
Excellent content and editing, with a Great ongoing storyline. Please thank David for me, for his willingness to let us partake in his adventure.
Absolutely
I'm in the process of getting my ppl. I love watching your instruction after I have just got done with a lesson. I am almost on the same pace with the student, so its neat to see what you guys did this week and compare it to what I have done. These videos are really informative and I would suggest any student needs to watch. Thanx for the content!
Happy to hear it. Please pass it along!
Chris, Great job on the video. I am really enjoying this series. David seems to be coming along quite nicely.
That was cool. It brought back great memories. It's always fun to watch a good instructor and student do their thing. The scenery ain't too bad either. I try to do 3 full stops every flight and throw in a few go arounds if I can. Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to do these
Love it. Just earned my private. Starting instrument in the spring. Aiming for cfi. Great refresher plus some insight on teaching. Thanks!
Happy to hear!
Love watching your videos, inspires me even more every time. I feel watching your videos i will have an upper hand when I go through my flight training journey to my private pilot license. Thanks, and as you say, throttle on!!
You bet! Happy to hear!
He’s got the cleeeer down. These videos are excellent.
Oh yeah!
Nicely Done Chris! You are really a good Instructor. The mountains at Homer, in a word, Breathtaking! CAVU my Brother!
Thanks my friend!
I sure love seeing these training videos.
Very keen advice… great contrasts on the left and right turns. Loving your content!
Excellent instruction! I wished at times my instructor would just demonstrate because there is definite overload at times. However, it’s important that demo doesn’t take too long otherwise it’s counterproductive and costly to the student
Bingo
That was great. Brings back lots of good memories. Thanks!
After 30 years I'm getting back into Aviation and your videos are excellent. Too bad I'm in Florida and not Alaska.
Sent here from a tier list.
Good content and sharing knowledge
I like your videos, Chris!) Thank you for making great content! The good point noted about the enjoyment of flying. When I started to learn to fly I forgot about the excitement I had before... My instructor's name is also Chris. haha)
Nice landing at the end and good job from the teacher.
Some nice training points while flying. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
I'm at exactly this point in my training but doing it out of a Class C airport so the added comms, traffic, and modified traffic pattern make it quite a bit more "exciting." I feel like I'm making progress. This video was helpful, I also had my CFI walk me through all the steps on the ground so I can commit that to memory and not worry about learning everything in the air.
I was taught to trim for the steep turn bc it is a lot easier to do. After getting the ppl I have never needed to steep turn. It would likely make my passengers sick lol great job about highlighting go arounds.
Thanks for making these videos! I'm entering flight school and these have given me a great idea of what I can expect.
Great editing. Most flying videos like this we can't understand a thing. Great job!
Is a pleasure to watch your videos! Thank you
Just came across your channel ,I think it is a down to earth type training and very informative. I remember seeing you with a ForeFlight tech at last year’s Oshkosh I think. Anyway getting ready hopefully for a check ride in a couple months in a 172.
Great video Chris! As always I learned some things even though I had my PPL for five years. Thanks for putting together this content.
G, day AoA from Sydney, Australia.
* great lesson on increase and decrease of energy over the runway.🧭
Thanks! Not a lot of people understand that.
Great video!!! Reminds me of when I was just starting out!
Very cool.
It must be amazing to fly in mountains and nature like in Alaska. I only fly in a sim but as serious as possible and use videos liker this to improve. So thank you from a "real virtual " pilot :-)
Awesome video as always thanks.. Steep turns and forced approaches are kind of interesting haha..
Thanks for the vid! Nice work!
Thanks!
Nice! Can def tell how much he has progressed. Great instructor!
For sure! Cool to see.
hey man, what's up I've been watching your videos and they are cool, they really make my day I don't live in Alaska but I'm actually taking flying lessons
Awesome... I will watch it again.
Yes i like this video because you are also helping me with my landings and takeoff practice
Nice video. Good to see your student improving from one landing to the other.
Yup! He is.
I love this series. That vector bit on final sounded familiar :) OK back to the video
Beautiful training, great content as usual!
Thank you!
Watching the first one of this series was just a bit of curiosity but now I'm fully invested in David's progress, ahaha. I will resume lessons next week after a 3 month break of just re-enacting previous lessons on X-plane. It'll be interesting to see if *any* of that pays off. I feel much, much more familiar with the checklist procedure and the basics now though. I'd be full of nerves getting back in the plane again if I hadn't had that to keep things fresh-ish in my mind.
I have a feeling it will pay off.
I've been having this issue when I go to fly, I can't because I don't have a pilot's license, nor do I own a plane. But I've got a yoke and rudder setup for mfs 2020 so I got that going for me. Which is nice .
Aaesome video! Would love to see more like this.
There are several others.
Really like the actual student videos.
Good.
Thank-you for this video. I'm learning so much
I really enjoy your videos considering my 172 is nearly the same age with Manual flaps and the 300 engine as well. My problem is I am always high and always fast. I need to work on getting more comfortable with slow flight and banking and slow flight. I’ve been made terrified of the final or short final stall spin scenario. These are great videos and I appreciate you taking the time to post them.
Too much power is the enemy of most of my students as they’re learning to land.
@@angleofattack I can see why. I’m still a low time pilot. I need to be better about trusting the numbers and ASI.
It's gotta be a bit nerve racking for David being on video, but look how far he's come. Cant wait to go on he's first solo flight.
We don’t think about the cameras at all.
@@angleofattack, maybe you don't, but I bet he thinks about it at times. lol
If I was a student I think I would really like the cameras. It would help me a lot to be able to go back and watch the entire videos and go over mistakes or areas needing improvement.
Might help having a camera recording the Guage as well just to help with debriefing after each flight to pinpoint areas needing improvement.
I really like these basic flying videos!
Recent subscriber after seeing your video on AnnaLynn's first solo. Been an aviation fan for quite some time and have had a dream of flying since I was a kid and never really had the opportunity to do it. I am pretty sure I am going to pursue this dream as soon as I can figure a few things out. Just want to say great video, Interesting to see how you did this with those sharp/steep turns. Oh and yes absolutely beautiful sights out there. Thank you for this and look forward to watching more of your videos!
I’ve got plenty of resources! Make sure you check out our site. And let me know if you have any questions.
@@angleofattack
I sure will. Just trying to figure out the right way about going at it and what not. Does that make sense?
Dude I am enjoying these videos. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to hear!
I am really enjoying the section from Ghana .
That was cool I'm just a flight simmer but if I was going to go for my license I would love to come and see you
Thank you always for these videos.
You’re most welcome.
Love it! I am currently training in Poland and it’s going great just my touch down could be better, working on it haha. Keep it up!
Excellent information for all pilots. Thank you for this.
I have struggled with getting started, working on it tho!
Hello. Just subscribed. I am also a new student, working steep turns as well. I struggle with the same issues, altitude loss, overbanking, left is harder than right. Really messed up the other day, I tried to use my left turn sight picture for the right, next thing you know I am applying way too much back pressure and we are climbing like crazy. I love the challenge. I just have to keep telling myself that it’s not a race. I feel like because I didn’t solo in X hours that I am not measuring up.
Very Nice!
Hey you should do a comprehensive video of WINTER flying! Cold weather flying can be hard on you motor, maybe go over some things that can limit the wear and tear.
Awesome channel!
Cool vid...just wanted to watch incase of emergency situation....I don't fly...but have rode motorcycles for 20yrs & drove rockhaulers & cement trucks...I walked around old airport buy the house as a kid in 1970 with my pops....seemed like all cesnas back then
I had always issues with keeping altitude. Landing and approaching usually went fine.
I love your videos. New subscriber!
It looks slow on the video, when I'm in the plane at my current level, it feels like I'm going mach 1 towards the runway. Excellent perspective, thanks!
Dear instructor you are my favourite person i always see your vedio. I am bangladeshi if i can able to go to you i will learn flying air craft. From you
Pilot in training.😎 love your stuff
*Nice Video Chris. so how many hours u have On your Log Now* !? Greetings from mozambique.
Thanks for these videos. Learning so much
Great stuff and fun to try this in VR on Flight Sim 2020.
Cool video man! It would be awesome to see a video about your camera setups. Curious about all the mounts and cameras you use to pull off all these awesome angles.
I’ll have to do that some time.
Loving the vids fresh is good, Ccccllleeeaaarrr stuck in my head now every vid gets a 😁
Wish all lessons had a chill out phase multiple breaks between segments to unwind ur head u get so tense when learning - the lap for scenic should be mandatory in all schools.. 👍👍
Equal a lap of the pattern to watch me(u) helps soo much with verbal pointers on everything u are doing and thinking.
Pointers for picking up where u need corrections- less 2-3max per lap segment would help me progress quicker I feel , not overloading students trying to focus on the pattern steps too many comments sometimes for me is very overwhelming and freaks me out that I get to the point am so stressed and makes the head almost unable on the next lap to follow the steps where required end up so far behind where I should be - mind control for the body actions are necessary and pattern steps end being lost and a wasted lap due to stress malfunction , rest laps help for sure..
maybe some schools are just milking extra time due to this tactic .
Maybe just need a more chill instructor maybe need to go visit Alaska everything looks chill-y but beautiful :)
Loving the work and Vids u have spent the time to make keep up the great work AoA
“Dragging through the horizon “ was a revelation. How do you know when to turn the plane and align the plane to the runaway? What are you looking for when you’re watching the runaway?
Hi Chris, I’ve been a follower of yours on Instagram for a long time. I actually asked you for some medical advice during a live Q&A you held.
Well, I finally got my medical this October and I started flying! I struggle with left handed steep turns as well.
But S-Turns and ground reference maneuvers are my Achilles heel, any advice?
I still struggle with good steep turns with looking outside when I do not use the trim method. Gotta keep practicing. Stage 2 check tomorrow!
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎
I have property in Homer!! Just starting my pilot journey.
good video! It would be even better if you visor was not in the line of sight on final!
Great video but the visor being down interferes with the view.
That sun visor down bugged me. I kept wanting to push it up.
Simply sticking the landing is what I struggle with. The rounding out and flare is what’s hindering me lol
Hello. Student pilot and its fall Nov 23. Im 7 hours in and using these to lear what i can out of the air. Im in a 150 right now so relly trying to learn some faness. Hope to hear back from somone. Thanks
I have a 175 skylark and I’m wondering what size tires you have on that 172 and what steering fork do you have?. Great videos!
Love it 😊😊😊😊😊
