Did a discovery flight yesterday, well inspired by your videos and the enjoyment of flying I seem to see in all of them. Had the most incredible time and am now getting ready to pursue my private license!
@@angleofattack in ground school right now going through sportys for ground school I have my first hands on lesson next week as far as ground school goes I'm about halfway through there's parts of it that are boring but I push through it and continue to add to my notebook
I've only been at the controls of a small plane twice and I was surprised at the sensory overload I had (simple things like adding throttle) . I can see the same thing in Sienna's face a times. Can't wait to see her solo ;- )
Awesome flight, I remember my 3rd flight lesson… I went with a different instructor for my 2nd lesson and got bored, so my primary instructor had me fly low and track a river. One of the most fun and useful experiences. That’s where I got comfortable with coordinated turns.
I love watching Sienna train. My daughter is 13 and her and I both started on our private pilot training last year. She was supposed to fly along with me on my discovery flight but I talked on the side to the instructor about letting her fly instead. She was sitting up front on the ground "just checking it out" and I asked her if she was ready to fly. Her answer was to reach over and buckle herself in. Lol. I really enjoy watching these young ladies take flight! My end goal is to open a flight school that caters to future female pilots and help end the "airMEN". Anyone with a dream to soar and the grit to stick with it should feel they have an equal chance to be an aviator! I worked, climbing tall towers as a tower hand, before my failing back grounded me. Now I'm just scraping by, working from home, where we live in Foresthill, Ca and trying to budget enough between my old ford breaking down constantly to have my daughter and I log time and make our dreams reality! Thank Sienna you for getting out there and helping to inspire other young ladies(and this old guy) to follow their hearts and live free! And thank you Sir for putting these videos out there. I've been grounded for almost two months with my money tied up in old truck repairs. So Ive made it through almost all your videos and I really appreciate the knowledge you share!
Lovely video. Seems you could have introduced her to why (very briefly) you pulled carb heat. I guess it’s ok being it’s only 3rd lesson. (I was waiting for the explanation…ha!) Beautiful scenery. I loved your interaction with the student! Great job. Seemed like a gloomy day, but those are fun to fly. No pressure of sunlight. (I also thought he said flight of 4!) If I ever make it to Homer, I hope I can go up with you and see the mountains and glaciers! My 172B has similar colors!
Hey Chris I sure enjoyed that. I liked how you showed some of the mistakes like powering to the firewall. Those are things I don’t think about but as an instructor it’s really important… especially if it was done on short final by mistake. My old CFI was in an accident once, long after I became certified, when his student was on short final accidentally pulled the mixture rather than the power. He was lucky a power line was there to catch them or they might not have survived the crash. Sienna seems to be a very confident woman, I’m willing to bet she will do well as a pilot. Keep ‘em coming!
This the 2nd time I have watch your video. Sienna may have been nervous flying and Dad being on board. :D Love the instructions and makes this old man want to learn to fly!
Great job on the video Chris. I think all training videos have good in them for all levels of pilots. Thank you and the Angle of Attack Team for putting these together. I know it can’t be easy. Have a great one.
The confidence she gained between this and the last video is amazing to see. The light jokes, the on point instruction. I live in MS and AK is a little bit of a hike, but I would love to come out there and learn from you.
I am getting ready to schedule a discovery flight, and these vids are really informative. Most likely I will go ahead and get a PPL. Excellent work sir!
Hey Chris! Love how the channel is progressing! I this kind of series of videos! I’m really hoping to do this at the airport 2 miles down the road. This is wonderful!
“How far can we go?” “It’s your money”. I love the joke and reality of how expensive learning to fly is. I am enjoying your channel and I appreciate you making it. I’ve always been interested in flying since my first time going up in my boss’s (in 2000-2002 in Alaska at Wildman Lake Lodge) Piper Cub then the Cessna 185. He was teaching me to fly in his Havilland Beaver. I was allowed to take the yoke once in the air but never take off or land. Sadly I had quit and joined the Army shortly after. Maybe one day I’ll be able to win the lottery or something. If I was debt free I might be able to afford it without getting a loan. As a disabled Army veteran I need a new purpose in life. I’d love to fly. If I had the money and the license, I’d love to buy a Piper Seneca V.
Another great episode! Could you build in for the future, the requirements for PPL, Instrument, Twin Engine and Commercial. It would be interesting to see what is required for each level of certification. Thanks again for great content.
Starting my flight training soon. Watching this series has been very interesting and fun to watch like prep for what I'll be learning. Awesome videos, awesome channel!
Thank you for creating this platform. I am very interested in your content. I am 66 years old and would like to take lessons. Am I too old? I was in the Army. I was an Aircraft Electrician. So I am familiar with Aircraft mostly Helicopters. Fixed wing Aircraft seem easier to learn how to fly.
I don't know how I wound up just binging various GA videos and reddit posts. I'll be watching your videos for a bit, it seems, haha. I'm not sure I'd be cut out for even a discovery flight but this is all interesting.
you are very good teacher calme what i like from you ( the way you answer ) and teach your student you keep the plane between the line and stay serious you have good receipe . I am jus observer for your student Sienna I see she make good progress by the way she mouve the handle look and observer out side the plane left and right this thing she has it . I'm sad you live far for take my courses
Hey angle of attack I always wanted to fly would I be able to obtain a class 3 medical with an abdominal aneurysm that has been watched for 5 years with no need of intervention
I don't see why not. If you're still stable, then you should be good. Might have to do some extra paperwork and checkups. Best to talk with your local AME. Talk OFF THE RECORD before you ever start paperwork. Especially to find out who the good doctors are.
Another great video! Do you or the community have any advice for someone who wants to get a PPL, but the nearest flight school is 2+ hours away? Could I do an online ground school and schedule flight lessons once a month or every couple of months?
You can do an online ground school (we have one). Best thing to do would be to save up a bunch of money and time, and go somewhere to know it out quickly. Could even do it in 3-4 chunks. Won't get anywhere doing it once per month, really.
@@angleofattack thank you so much for the reply and the advice! My partner did actually find a flight instructor much closer that I missed, and gifted me a discovery flight for a holiday gift! I'll still take this advice though, and save up and bust it out in a couple chunks!
Right from the beginning my instructor pounded his pet peeves into my head....on takeoff, smooth application of power and guard the throttle ,then check engine instraments prior to rotation when your engine will fail. Throughout every lesson he would ask....if you lost your engine now, where would you land? Later on he would actually pull power, sometimes fully, sometimes partial. In the pattern your hand never leaves the throttle, unless your adjusting something else! Stay coordinated! Feel it in your butt! Eyes outside in the pattern! Listen to the engine noise, it will tell you what it's doing....on every x country I still find myself saying, oh I can land there, or there...

Love love love to hear that! Keep learning! Make sure to take your Online Ground School with us.

I've been to Alaska. It was 3 months ago already
The scenery was beyond description
This video reminds me of those memories
Thank you from Seoul
Sienna must have an awesome, supportive dad: kudos to him!
And, kudos 👍 to the great flight instructor, as well!

I like these videos from the perspective of an aspiring CFI and how early lessons should be taught.
Hope you can take some things from it all.

There's a lot we've explained in our runups and things that you aren't seeing here. We cut a lot out.
Beautiful Alaska! I wish I had been able to do my flight training in such beautiful scenery.
It's pretty awesome.
you the best my friend 🙏
Good to see that you were both reading each other well.

So far I'm really happy to have her as a student.
Stick with it Sienna. The more you learn the more rewarding it becomes.
So true!
That was a step back to my training you never forget your first flights and at least we have videos now nice Crack on
Yeah, it's pretty special.
I really like sienna , she is a smart student. i enjoy her flying
Sienna seems to have a nice touch on the controls. Great student and instructor!
I think so too!
Great channel, great instructor !
This the 2nd time I have watch your video. Sienna may have been nervous flying and Dad being on board. :D Love the instructions and makes this old man want to learn to fly!
Thank you for the videos I am at 12 hours and practicing landings
Great seeing the progress on these student series. Also wow Alaska is beautiful!
Great job on the video Chris. I think all training videos have good in them for all levels of pilots. Thank you and the Angle of Attack Team for putting these together. I know it can’t be easy. Have a great one.
Most welcome! Thanks for thanking.

Another nice one Chris, I'm enjoying these series,... THANKS !!! 😎👍 🇨🇦
Welcome!
I liked how comfortable you made her feel. She's catching on well. Any new videos?
This is great fun watching these training videos!
These lesson videos are so good, and the scenery is beautiful!
I'm liking following along with her training. I wish I lived closer as I enjoy you style of teaching.
Risk averse is exactly how you should fly. Safe flights always Chris.
Thank you.
Your a great instructor. Flying looks so much fun to learn.
I am getting ready to schedule a discovery flight, and these vids are really informative. Most likely I will go ahead and get a PPL. Excellent work sir!
Just finding your content and it’s great stuff!
Working on my CFI written right now …I learned so much from your instructions. Keep them coming 🔥
Hey Chris! Love how the channel is progressing! I this kind of series of videos! I’m really hoping to do this at the airport 2 miles down the road. This is wonderful!
Happy to hear about it!
I like when the instruction works on taxi handling before the sky. Like all the first lessons have the S-Pilot taxi training

Another great video. Can you start including the run up process?
Enjoyed and at age 66 might learn to fly after building boat this year. Happy New Year. Great job!
Great video, I learned I miss being in the cockpit. I hope to get back in eventually.
Hope you do get back.
Another great episode! Could you build in for the future, the requirements for PPL, Instrument, Twin Engine and Commercial. It would be interesting to see what is required for each level of certification. Thanks again for great content.
I'll keep that in mind.
another nice video thanks to all in the video
subbed for outro music.
Looking forward to flight #4!!
You know it's coming!

Hey, it's the beginning of a journey! Never say never.
Great work, keep it doing!
nice time spent
5:30 does she know about the throttle friction
I’m sorry for asking, but what type of airplane is that?
Great job Sienna, throttle on!
Awesome lesson love it.
How many hours is a standard training day?
you are very good teacher calme what i like from you ( the way you answer ) and teach your student you keep the plane between the line and stay serious you have good receipe . I am jus observer for your student Sienna I see she make good progress by the way she mouve the handle look and observer out side the plane left and right this thing she has it .

Thank you! 😃
Great Video as always, Thank You !!
Thanks again!
Great video
he is so nice and she is so cute!
I wish I had started at her age.
Love this.. Thanks
Unrelated question: Flightaware shows N2423U as a 1963 Cessna. Is that plane really 60 years old?
Hey angle of attack I always wanted to fly would I be able to obtain a class 3 medical with an abdominal aneurysm that has been watched for 5 years with no need of intervention
I don't see why not. If you're still stable, then you should be good. Might have to do some extra paperwork and checkups. Best to talk with your local AME. Talk OFF THE RECORD before you ever start paperwork. Especially to find out who the good doctors are.
How do you record the cockpit/atc audio? I know you use gopros, but I don't know what else you use.
Cable from nFlightCam or FlightFlix.
Your nose strut looks to be calapsed. You need a small rubber bumper on the strut. Just to sop any damage. Thanks for the videos!
There is one there. Annual soon. Likely the cold weather making it more collapsed.
Another great video!

Somebody's been practicing her radio voice in the car!❤😂😂😂
Aww.. you didn't walk us thru the touch-n-go.
Hey brother, I'm 71 years old, I recently retired and would like to learn to fly. Is my age an issue ?
Better to learn in a glass cockpit or gauge plane?
I prefer minimal glass. Nothing too fancy.

Not the “clear” 🦅
Would be good to get some feedback from the student on how she is finding the experience.
She keeps coming back.
Brings back lingerie ago memories when I was in training for my ppl...Great teaching video...aviators should never stop learning...thx Chris
am from uganda and i would like to join the practical classes
CLEARRRRRRRRRR
Perfect; compared to some of the others that think they are CFI's......................
Like who?
@@angleofattack That's kinda hard to throw that stone on the internet. Let's just say on the opposite end of this country from you. Call me.
"It’s your money" haha. I’d love to give you money some day for lessons.
Maybe one day!
What keeps the airplane running... reaches into wallet and throws 100s at the mixture knob ;)
i wish you were my flight instructor
is it true airplanes can fly because the pilots lean forward in their seat while gritting their teeth??
Fuck I fall in love,
but iam not sure it is cause of the aviation or Sienna........ or may be the instructor.
Getting better. Still seems like it's a joke to her.
buy that girl some jeans she wears the same holey jeans every day
Would you pay a hundred dollars for a hamburger?
I really like how you emphasise flying in an area that provides you with an emergency landing spot 🏆🎓🦘
