Congrats! What did you do your training in? Be careful out there! I remember having a freshly printed Private Pilot's Certificate and thought I knew so much - I was wrong. Oh, those were the days. That was some of the most fun flying ever.
@@thecorporatepilotdad oh I’ve made myself fully aware that this is only a license to learn especially bc I did all ground and knowledge training on my own only bought the books and read got a 98% on written bc of that and so my oral was a piece of cake a lot of information I used from your videos so thank you so much especially your videos on VOR and ils. Those ils procedures look daunting and you really taught it well I fly out of aurora il KARR west of Chicago got my ppl with a light sport stick flying :) (Remos gx) also I turn 20 in a couple weeks:)
@@Deanjacob7 I know where ARR is. I've been there a time or two. It is a license to learn but it is also easy to get rusty and develop bad habits and not know it. Back during my CFI days while doing BFRs, pilots would be very rusty. My advice, fly with an instructor for an hour every 4-6 months and review items like emergency procedures, simulated engine out procedures, stalls, etc. Stay proficient.
There are plenty of videos to keep a person busy for a while. My goal is 1 video per week but there are times it takes 2 weeks to make a video due to my real flying schedule.
Thank you. I have one coming soon that is part of the "Learn To Fly Here" series. It was expected to be out this weekend but it's been delayed a few days. The upcoming video has to be narrated with a few additions then it will be ready for viewing.
@@thecorporatepilotdad Thanks to 5 strokes in as many years my memory is completely shot and I am constantly needing to "re-learn" things I'd known how to do for years and years. One thing that is constantly throwing a spanner in my works is VOR/NDB/ADF navigation in my flight sims, something I've known since the mid 1980s. Hence, I'm forever watching videos on here and often need to refer to them while in flight (GPS is the easy way out!). As yet I have not found an example where there is a downloadable "saved flight" that corresponds exactly with that being flown in the tutorial video, so you can fly the exact scenario being flown by the tutor - now that would be nice 😉
Thank you. I just spent 2+ hours working on the next video after flying a real airplane for almost 7 hours today. The video is 75% done. Can't wait to see the reception it gets along with future videos building on the basics.
I learned to fly 49 years ago and I am still learning 😁🛫 This man has some great information to offer! I know because I have followed him on this channel, me. I am retired Pilot from the airline and Corporate world and every kind of flying in the middle 😁🛫
Thank you so much! I try to offer great information and someone holds me accountable if I use wrong terminology which keeps me on my toes. Who could that be? ;) Lots of time is spent editing and making sure everything is correct. A basic "first FLIGHT lesson" is coming today or tomorrow. It's already taken about 4-5 hours of work.
I would really like a good lesson on rudder coordination in game. I have found a video by Ralph Machado that seems to be the best out there in the real world, but even he doesn't specify whether you always use left rudder in a left bank or vice versa. For example due you want to create a slip vs skid at other times? I have also heard an airliner pilot tell me modern pilots hardy use rudder pedals at all! I just don't see a complete discussion of these concepts , let alone in game. Another thing to cover is how should your pedals react to input? I'm sure it depends on the aircraft, but what should the graph look like in MSFS controls? Do they react quickly or slowly for example? I hope this all makes sense and looking forward to it all. Your videos are great, and I love using them.
The upcoming video talks about rudder, why its needed in turns and how to compensate and how much to compensate. Rudder and direction of bank aren’t always related. It has to do with aileron deflection also. You’ll see it in the video and I think it will make perfect sense. I hope to have it done in the next 2 days. In jets we use rudder pedals very little in flight. There are no left turning tendencies which create a need for right rudder in single engine prop airplanes. Yaw damper takes care of coordination so your airline pilot friend is exactly right.

The channel will be one year old on August 18th!
Just got my ppl thanks for all your help🙏🙏

Just found this channel not too long ago. Back into Microsoft Flight Sim and these videos are great.
There are plenty of videos to keep a person busy for a while. My goal is 1 video per week but there are times it takes 2 weeks to make a video due to my real flying schedule.
There is always *something* new to be learnt - hence, I look forward to more of your videos in the future.

@@thecorporatepilotdad I lam looking forward to the video. 😁🛫
I will let all our New VA Pilots know about this channel
Thank you. Word of mouth advertising is greatly appreciated.
@@thecorporatepilotdad Not a problem, if you wouldn't mind mentioning our VA in one of your videos that would be awesome.
Email me some info and I’ll see where I can fit it in or put it On my about page.
@@thecorporatepilotdad Have just sent you an Email.
Cant wait to celebrate this channels birthday 🥳

@@thecorporatepilotdad That's great! Thank you so much.
After the course do we have to solo on PilotEdge? :-)
Yes! And I want to do videos on talking to ATC with PilotEdge. You might get to be in more videos.
My channels birthday was May 27th
Well happy belated channel birthday.
