going on my very first lesson today after my discovery and came here to review and see how others do it. Thank you for sharing, I was nervous watching you the whole time! im so nervous but excited. great take off and landing!
Really like your journey!! Im so glad Bryan Turner referred your channel. Looking forward to watching and sharing it to others. YOu've got some good production value. Kudo!
You really did better than me buddy! Your CFI is really friendly and helpful every phase of your flight. Mine was worst. Good luck in your pilot training!
Really great video,i'm a CFI applicant and i like how Derrick is showing you how to fly and your comments. Learning how to fly is a process,it doesn't happen overnight and hearing your comments on different little mistakes along the way is a good feedback on how any future student might feel when he/she's going to do the same. Thank you for this video,i'll be watching the rest of your adventure and see you in the skies.
Thanks so much, Jamil. I truly appreciate it. I'd love to hear about your CFI training is going. Becoming an instructor is also a long-term dream of mine.
Hey Dave, was nice to meet you today at school. I'm going to enjoy these videos as I compare them to my own experiences pursuing a life of aviation. Can't wait to see your excitement after your first solo! It's bliss!
Terrific video for anyone thinking about learning to fly. It was enjoyable as a Flight Instructor also; this is how it goes. "The weather sucks!" - "737NM" head-smack: that is awesome - if only we all had cameras to catch and learn from our mistakes.
Just catching this episode now. Not gonna lie, the sound of the engine starting made me want to go do some low and slow flying again. Keep up the good work!
Enjoying this a LOT! Focused on starting my PPL journey in 2020 - at the age of 60-something. Disconcerting that your instructors name is same as mine - I jump to attention every time I hear "Derek" - LOL About 1/2 way thru Lesson 2 and looking forward to way more!
Did you guys switch shirts?? PS: Nvm I realized the guy wore a similar shirt as the first day and you wore a blue polo shirt which the CFI wore before the flight. Lots of clothes switching.
Great job my friend! *cough* CERTIFICATED *cough* Flight Instructor. (The F-hey-hey certificates pilots, it doesn’t certify them.) Looking forward to the next episode.

Hey, thanks so much! Bryan is awesome. We love his stuff. Any sharing you could do will help so much, and we really appreciate it!
That’s a great quote. Rather be down here wishing I was up there than to be up there and wishing I was down here.
Love your videos! Keeps me motivated to keep working towards my private pilot license. Keep it up!
You did great buddy. Hang in there and enjoy each and every millisecond of the wonderful journey of becoming a pilot!
Thanks so much! I’m having a blast, for sure.
Nice video. Great camera angles and editing. Great instruction and lesson.
Thanks so much. It’s a ton of work. And my instructor is second-to-none.

Dry nice! Can’t wait!
It's on! Go get 'em, Dave!
Let's do this!

The weather issues have cancelled us more than once. That's how it goes in Florida. Thanks so much for the positive feedback!
I'm sharing this! @@FlightReview
You’re awesome! Thank you!
Great job with the video and the flying. Looking forward to seeing more.
rwtabler Many thanks! Lots more to come!
Great video! Just started my training with Melbourne Flight Training a month ago, and I couldn’t be more excited!
That's fantastic! We'll have to do a fly-out together once we get our certificates.
Just catching this episode now. Not gonna lie, the sound of the engine starting made me want to go do some low and slow flying again.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you. I hope you get back in the cockpit of a little airplane soon.
The instructor does a nice job! Very positive and helpful with tips. I hope to find a similar instructor near York, PA.
Derek is great. I really enjoy flying with him. I hope you find an equally great instructor!

So glad you are enjoying the series. I still have a long way to go in my training, but I’m gonna be a pilot. Keep me posted on your journey as well!
Hi, did you finish your training? love your videos.
you have the best CFI
Awesome video, Dave! Looking forward to seeing you progress through flight training!
Thanks so much! It’s going to be one heck of an adventure.
No clearing turns to left first?
Did you guys switch shirts??
PS: Nvm I realized the guy wore a similar shirt as the first day and you wore a blue polo shirt which the CFI wore before the flight. Lots of clothes switching.
Awesome thing, but please let me know, how many Star Wars TShirts do you have? :)
Can you help me plz?
Great job my friend!

Well, since I want to be one someday, I guess I’d better say it right. Thanks for the feedback!
