This might sound absolutely crazy, but part of the reason why I quit flight training a few years ago was because I didn't feel comfortable doing certain maneuvers like stalls. When I did my first stall, I remember the terrible feeling of the left wing dropping because I was uncoordinated, and I remember looking straight ahead into the sky because no one had taught me to look at the Lindbergh Reference to gauge yaw. I remember dreading everything from stalls to slow flight because I feared getting into a spin. Needless to say, I'm still passionate about aviation, so I'm going to restart flight training soon, and I'm so glad to have discovered TFP with Jason Miller. This information is invaluable, and I can't believe, like he said, how this knowledge is so foreign to most CFIs.
Excellent first flight! I wish mine had gone like that back when I started. Your videos have me seriously considering full-time CFI as a career. Any chance you could do a video discussing what that life looks like? Seems like all the CFIs out there are clocking time to 1,500 and nothing more.
Jason, if you could find the time to make a video with some insight that deals with the anxiety that revolves around stalls and stall recovery, especially power on stalls. Any tips on dealing with the “I’m falling” feeling we get from negative G’s. I find that positive G’s are no problem. I feel secured and in control of the airplane when performing maneuvers that are positive G’s, not so much when negative. I’ve yet to meet a student pilot that doesn’t have anxiety on some level from stalls, any tips for those of us that have a sensitivity to negative G’s.
Jason, enjoy your content and expertise. I noticed that in this video and on your website, you've started appending a trademark (TM) to the term "Lindbergh Reference". As a CFI, I'm a little concerned about this. Would an instructor using that term in a verbal explanation be infringing on your IP? If I used the term in one of my lesson plans and distributed it, should I be concerned about a potential trademark violation claim? Is it even possible to trademark a term which refers to a instructional technique that was in use under other names (eg. Rod Machado's "pizza slice") well before you started using it? I certainly think good CFIs like you should be compensated for their skills, but I have to say I'm immediately suspicious of trademarking the language used in flight instruction.
Great advice. My first 10 or so hours and initial few solo flights were all in an Aeronca 7AC. No instruments to speak of. All about seeing outside and feeling it in your seat. Although I fly a high performance plane these days, can still get most of what I need from those two senses.

Time to get back on the horse I think.
Great CFI technique including the student at every second.
Your way of communicating these nuanced ideas in such a simple and effective way is so awesome . Thanks for making the videos

One my fav CFI channels!

Awesome, Jason. Thanks for my new “watch this before our first flight” video :)
Great way to get someone hooked on flying :)
Please if you don't mind me asking, what kind of yoke mount are you using and where can I get it? Thanks
It’s a pivot case, and I suspect one of the claw mounts for the yoke tube that they also sell.
@@AnthonyMartinez thank you so much
i wonder if you can do a lesson in a 152 to show where to look in there
If you sit straight in the seat it’s forward through the side window if you can picture that. Works just the same way
