I like the fact that you recognize that you're a safe pilot. Some seasoned pilots tend to take their experience for granted and start taking shortcuts. Don't Ever do that! Plus - they tend to not read their FAR/AIMS anymore. Best to ya Christy Wong!
Hey guys.... I love the channel, great content. I live in Florida and actually just bought a piper archer with the intent of renting it to others, something like a flight club. Any info on how that works and how I can start one would be great... thanks, keep up the great work
Ah Denton; the memories: My English flight instructor hit me on the jaw right here. We had an argument in a Seminole as to whether being unable to restart a feathered engine constituted an emergency. On another occasion I saw a huge rattlesnake as thick as a wrist.
I think I spotted something: When Ms Wong closed the carb heat she immediately reduced the throttle to idle. From bitter experience I found that you must pause, verify the RPMs have returned to normal before reducing the throttle to ensure the carb heat is not stuck open which happened to me one fine day at Van Nuys when I took off with carb heat still on though the lever was in the off position.
Watch the takeoff. The view from the tail cam clearly shows zero flaps. Normal takeoff in the Warrior is no flaps. You use one notch for a short-field takeoff.
I live and fly in Mammoth Lakes! CA where the skies are severe clear and blue when it isn’t snowing. It is really gross when we fly down to the Los Angeles basin.
my dad almost crashed his piper turbo arrow taking off out of meacham field in dallas.lost his engine due to fuel starvation.was able to get it started back up about 40 ft above the ground.
sterile cockpit when on final ? Pulling the pilot camera while on FINAL ! ??? Bumpy day, distracted, low time pilot..... Busy airspace.... just a big ole bowl of wrong.
Usually the most dangerous is when you have 2 pilots. Passenger constatly "doing something" without telling Pilot first. The "we are both pilots" so it is safer attitude can creep in easy. It is best to put passenger in charge of reading physical checklist cards. No small talk except when in cruise.
Each club might have different insurance requirements, but for the most part, just need to be certificated and then checked out in the club's planes. They might have a certain requirement of hours in the plane before allowing you to take it out.
I can't speak for ALL flying clubs, but my flying club will let new private pilots join. You will have to do a full checkout in each aircraft with a club CFI, and each plane will have its own checkout requirements.
So great to see this! I have many hours logged in this AC in the '90's when it was at PAE, what an enjoyable flashback!!
“Amps are amping” 😂
Great video. Thanks.
Great Vid as always from the Taking off Crew, Gorgeous airplane and still love Christy 's Sectional active pants... super cute!
Another great job video.. Good job helping her out by moving the camera.
I like your grip...the way you protect both the throttle and mixture!
Liking Christy's chart leggings! Haha. Nice video.
Makes me wanna go flying! Thanks for sharing!

That smirk at the beginning lol.

My piper doesn’t have ac either. Or such cool visors. Nice video.
Thanks for the mention!!
Awesome, wish my PA28 had AC! I keep my doors and windows open until the very last second lol
I was joking with her when I mentioned it and lo and behold, she actually had it!
Christy Wong is the best!
"Amps are amping" - I've started saying this myself.
Didyou use flaps on take off?...

Nice pants!
It's funny that you think the visibility is poor; you should fly in L.A. where the air is Brown up to about 4000' (AGL) Ft. I'm Serious!

Do flying clubs allow newly minted Private pilots join flying clubs
Each club might have different insurance requirements, but for the most part, just need to be certificated and then checked out in the club's planes. They might have a certain requirement of hours in the plane before allowing you to take it out.
I can't speak for ALL flying clubs, but my flying club will let new private pilots join. You will have to do a full checkout in each aircraft with a club CFI, and each plane will have its own checkout requirements.
I actually joined my club as a student pilot and have been doing all my PPL work in club planes. We have 5 aircraft and 2 are insured for student use.
Gear up anyone?
I didn't take the cutting torch that day. (It's a cherokee).
