  • Gaz and I have been training for his cross country solo and it's been going well. But he's never been tested like he got tested in this flight. Un-forecast weather built up on our route and I left it up to Gaz to find a solution to our weather related problem.
    Enjoy the flight.

    Oh well you'll love it buddy. I sold the GTR today and am currently talking to someone in Louisiana to buy his Cherokee Six. If he agrees I will fly out there in July to pick it up but I'm sure I'll need instruction time to get covered on insurance. Weight doesn't matter for you in a Cherokee six!!!

    • @LewDixAviation
      @LewDixAviation  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      2theSkysStudios I agree that the Cessna is better at soft fields.. Higher wing is away from any dirt or debris you may kick up, and they float for days for that extra smooth touchdown kiss! Short field errrrrr another story lol thanks mate!

  • @brettwest549
    @brettwest549 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video to demonstrate the shortcomings of not flying with ForeFlight (or other inferior EFB.) No ADSB traffic aids, no NEXRAD weather aids, head down way too much looking at map and calculating time/distances. Not sure why we still teach this comparatively unsafe method? I can hear the answers, “But sir, what if your iPad runs out of battery, overheats, crashes, or North Korea hits us with an electromagnetic bomb???” Answer: I fly with 3 iPads, have not yet even needed the 3rd. Have needed the second iPad only on 2 occasions. I am sufficiently backed up, except I fly with only 1 engine. An EFB is now as fundamental to an airplane as are the radios. Although we do teach it in ground school, we dont teach real world 7600. Maybe the same should be considered for the EFB? In other words, review pilotage in ground school, but that’s it.

    I got a question. How many G’s do you pull on average for a stall spin?

    • @LewDixAviation
      @LewDixAviation  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      During the spin when airspeed is stabilized you’re pulling just over 1G or so. As your airspeed increases you start to load the wing up again so that’s why in the recovery you have to be careful.

    Funny...as soon as he said, "It seems funny...every time I let go, it wants to go to the right" I immediately said...his fuel is uneven and then BANG - YOU SAID IT! I was actually patting myself on the back. FYI...I go for my Part 107 license today. I don't think "I got this". Only in the last two days I discovered that the material I was studying was all out of date. The PAVE-DECIDE-I'M SAFE threw me for a loop along with calculating mAh into minutes of flight. We will see...I'll let you know on your next video.
