- My good friend Gareth (Zero Three Delta, link below) approached me asking about the possibility of giving his Girlfriend a chance to get behind the controls of an aeroplane. I was more than happy to welcome her to the sky as she took control of an aircraft for the first time!
Enjoy the flight!

"To climb, we need to outweigh weight. We need to increase lift so that it's [unintelligible] weight."
In a constant rate climb, lift is equal to weight. A plane climbs due to excess thrust. Lift is greater than weight only when a non-lag VSI would indicate an increasing rate of climb. Once the VSI needle stabalizes, lift is equal to weight. Newton's equation Force = mass*acceleration. If the lift weren't equal to weight in a climb, you'd be accelerating upward, not in a constant rate of climb.
I agree with you, however when we initially increase AOA for the climb we are increasing lift which initiates it. The constant rate climb comes when the forces reach equilibrium again but that wasn't the point I was trying to make. This was a first flight, I was trying to make everything as simple as possible for her to be able to start a climb. I don't think bringing up Newtons laws would have been the best idea haha. This was the reason for the *DISCLAIMER* at the beginning of the video about how things can come across differently in a video.
@@LewDixAviation ok, cool. I just like clearing up misconceptions, but it sounds like you knew that and the wording that came to mind on the fly (no pun intended) was tailored more to an intro student.
aviatortrevor Hahaha Love the pun. Yea man, no I appreciate your comment because I like to be as clear as possible especially in videos. I know my style of putting things across won’t be to everyone’s taste but comments like that help me think of ways to explain things a little better.
LewDix Aviation but I always teach ATP theory on an intro flight! Wait a minute... I think I just discovered why no one comes back for a second flight.
@@mattb.7464 I teach algebra... They run! hahaha
The reason I got my ppl is cause you man, big fan💕
I'm glad I could be your source of inspiration. That means a lot to me my friend!
Man, I really wish you were my flight instructor!
Thats very kind!
Same !
It’s quite unique to find an instructor who can teach soo good and know how to change the student’s mood
Love the video. Proud of the girlfriend. Other supportive verbiage.
I loved the passenger to be honest.. He brought a lot to the video
I really like your teaching style.
“Ooooooooh I wouldn’t do that.....” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Properly funny. Class video as always Lewis!! 👍🏼😊
Thanks mate!
Please upload more with her really enjoy watching people go from knowing nothing about flying to getting certified:). Great vid as always
Best ever first flight lesson.
This video outshines the competition 😂
You nailed it.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Tell your friends 😂
I really like the way you teach! I am learning a lot of things I am looking forward to put into practice when I begin my flying lessons!
Some people are born teachers, you have the knack and are hugely entertaining at the same time. Wish I could learn to fly with you.
Thank you for the kind words!
This is just amazing! 😂👍
Passed my Check ride last week! Thank you for your dedication to aviation and your videos. Great instruction and the English humor (love it), “Vacuum, sucking” best ever!! Keep up the great work!!
Which video was it??
Outstanding! You had my entire family cracking up with the blooper reel.
Hahaha thanks Jay! I’m glad I could be the entertainment for the evening haha
Wherever you are please teach me how to fly. You made the learner so calm and comfortable she feels confident in herself and your guidance. Well done mate.
This is awesome!
Amazing video , keep up the great work 👍
I loved this video😂. Keep up the awesome work. Your videos are awesome
Thanks Alan!
I've never flown a plane, and have no intentions of ever flying one, but I really enjoy watching this channel for some odd reason. 😁👍
You can live vicariously through me hahaha
That final blooper gets me every time. Brilliant video!
Haha cheers mate
One of the funniest videos you have ever made:) Can't wait for you to crank out more!!
Thanks brother!
Dang, kinda wish my discovery flight was as entertaining. I was nervous the entire first half of the flight. But then it improved and I'll go on my next flight tomorrow.
The Rocktavius it has been great. Earned my Private pilot certificate back in March.
@The Rocktavius Yes the cost can be a huge detractor. I could have save a fair amount of money if I just started a month earlier. Weather was great during training and I was averaging 3 flights a week so I was progressing great. When it was time for my checkride the weather shifted for winter and went to crap so I ended up rescheduling 5 times, 4 for weather, 1 for maintenance so it ended up taking an extra 5 months. While those delays were happening I was still flying to maintain proficiency so I added about 15 hours in those 5 months. Those hours probably helped but I also know my CFI was confident I was ready 5 months earlier.
Seriously, it doesn't get better than that!! Thanks
Thank you sir!
I’m starting flight school next month and this is just perfect. I can’t wait to say “Welcome to the sky” for the first time!!
It’s gonna be a big moment!
Thanks!
This is epic
Yo you gotta be the best flight instructor 😎it’s always laughs watching your videos 😂
Thanks my friend! Always trying to make you laugh!
That was fun!
Lewis, you definitely have a talent for instructing. Sadly, I understand that's not true of all instructors. I wish I was in close proximity so I could take advantage of your gift.
Thank you for those kind words! If we were closer I would be more than happy to fly with you!
@@LewDixAviation Oh, you had to go and say that. Fly up to GNV sometime and I'll buy you lunch.
Another great video! Always enjoy seeing the gang collaborating even if you have to bring Otto with you, joking! I look forward to part two where we see what happens when she pushes the yoke all the way forward 😀
Yea had to push Otto out of this one because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut! Glad you enjoyed it though man. More to come soon
Man I absolutely adore your videos, I’m back in school just so I can have a degree to hopefully fly for the majors someday way off in the future. You have such a fantastic way with your students. Big, big fan.
Hey brother! Thanks for the support I’m glad you enjoy my content! Get your licenses done and keep your journey going! Good luck man
LewDix Aviation thank you!!!
That's pretty good instruction!
Thanks!
He didn't even welcome her to the skies.
I thought about scrapping the video entirely after I realized that I didn't welcome anyone to the sky.. I quit
Sweet!
That into tho 🔥
F****** brilliant!
Best aviation channel on TH-cam
Thanks brother! Spread the word!
Great👍 Appreciated
LMFAO @ the 1st 45 seconds 🤣😂😅
The beautiful thing is that nowadays just about anybody can take a flying lesson and it will cost less than $300. My first time was in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. I think I was more afraid driving up to the runway and taxing the plane to the runway then I was once it came time to actually rotate and takeoff. A couple of times my CFI looked at me and thought I was about to throw up but fortunately I didn’t.
I honestly think I would have been more comfortable in an F-16 that I would be in a Cessna Skyhawk because everything I learned about flying I learned in flight simulators from falcon 4.0 to DCS world
Who is this LewDix imposter? We know that because he fails to say "Welcome to the sky" The one and only LewDix would never miss his catchphrase. Will the real LewDix stand up!!!!!!!!
He was kinda busy talking through a first takeoff. He's missed them before when he was busy.
A little pressure or we're going to die 😂😂😂
I'm sure he said , No pressure , but we're going to die 😂
Didn't want the bloopers to end 😂
If I ever come to Florida (eventually after this COVID has fecked off) I want to be taught by you. Or we can just go up, depending if I have my PPL by then.
Great video as usual man 👍🏻 shame your the other side of the pond. I’m currently doing my ppl in Blackpool and some of your videos have been a great help 👍🏻 not all but some 😂 keep up the good work
I like your style Lewis, I think it would make for a much more relaxed way to learn how to fly. Better then a grumpy guy making you nervous for sure. Your rocking it!!! ;-)
Thanks man! I 100% agree that it’s better than sitting with a guy making you nervous!
I love your laugh mate
Haha thanks mate.. it’s more of a cackle than a laugh
You're such a professional lmao i have to believe that Intro flights get old real freakin fast lol! "Go ahead and pull the throttle back to about 2100 RPM..." 10 minutes later... "alright perfect.." haha the slow zoom in was hilarious
Hahaha *10 mins later* 😂. Nah it doesn’t get old because I’m showing somebody that has never flown before the tricks of the trade. It’s very fulfilling.. You’ll see my response to the slow pulling of the throttle in the next video
0:31 Egress option (hand ready on door...), in any concerns during preflight briefing...
I was a CFI at SGJ in 2014, and the tower controller sounds familiar... curious if anybody knows who that is?
Man, you're a good instructor
Thanks man!
Good stuff man! Love your videos. Just started my ppl. At 6 hours. 😐😂
I’m glad you like my videos! I hope they help you in your quest for your PPL
Can you be my instructor ? You make everything informative and talk through everything.
This instructor seems like the coolest instructor on the planet
I 100% agree with you! Haha
Starting my first flight lesson tomorrow 3/9/22. If my instructor isn't somewhat like this, I don't want him (her). And I mean with all the cursing and the jokes. I'm doing this 100% for fun (not for employment). If it ain't a blast, we're done! Next instructor please come forward. 🙂😁
Hi val!
Im a little late but how did your first lesson go and are you still taking lessons? I’m looking at starting myself and would love some insight on how your finding it?
@@reyrey9458 It's been a blast. Still taking lessons. Where do you plan on having your training?
@@valberlin9239 that’s great to hear I’m a little nervous to get started but seeing and hearing of everyone else who’s loving it is really making me want to start! I’m not too sure yet still looking around I’m based in the uk not the USA unfortunately
Crying!! 😂😂
I need you to be my flight instructor!
By the second blooper id would’ve been like “screw it I want to fly! I’m on a time block here”
What glasses do you have?
Literally logged on to TH-cam wondering if you uploaded a vid.... top of feed. Win.
Nice! Get the notification bell smashed.
Hwy man, Where you located at ?
I started PPL training back in February. Due to life and other factors, I didn't train consistently (months between lessons). My instructor quit (not because of me!😅). Also, it just wasn't "clicking" for me. I wondered if I just wasn't cut out to be a pilot.
I decided to give it another try with a new instructor, and I've been training once a week for the past month. It's finally coming together! I'm making slow but sure progress. My instructor said o was too hard on myself. I decided since this was for fun, and not a career, there was no need to feel like I had to pressure myself to solo in a certain number of hours, etc.
I had an issue with staring at the instruments instead of outside the airplane, and my instructor patiently told me to knock it off! Still struggling with mukti-tasking, but I'll get there. The thought of soloing still scares the 💩 out of me!
I used to work with a guy that would scare his students, telling them they are not good enough because at Private Pilot level they had to fly like 'professional Pilots'. Complete and utter garbage! Don't be hard on yourself. Let yourself make mistakes and learn from them. The reason you have the instructor next to you is so you can make mistakes and not kill yourself. They are your safety net and will catch you when you fall. Slowly over time as you build your confidence you will need the instructor less and less.
You'll get there. Keep plugging away!
@@LewDixAviation that's awful! I had vet school professors like that. Thankfully, they were few and far between.
What happens if you full the power all the way back in the c172
You’ll see that in the next video ;)
I wanna do aviation and fly but it’s looks super hard I don’t know nothing about planes not even in flight simulator games I don’t know😂😂😂
I'm just curious. when you're training to be a flight instructor, do you practice situations where the (real) instructor pretends to be a crazy student and does crazy things with the controls --and you have to save the aircraft?
He actually has CFI training videos on the channel! Check them out!
Yes, and it was quite fun. They’ll simulate common errors and you have to catch them and fix them, such as overbanking or bad airspeed control in traffic patterns. As far as dealing with a violent student, one who might try and hijack your aircraft, there was no formal training on that. My previous employer allowed us to carry firearms on their person to work, assuming they had to have a valid license to carry in our state, of course. That’s more of a company policy/airport/state regulation thing though.
@@byronhenry6518 That's insane that you can chose to carry a firearm to a flight lesson!
@@emilyanne3910 Gotta love Texas 🤪
what happened to silverair ? I thought you became an airline pilot
Are any of you gonna be at Oshkosh? Do I hear meet up????
I’m going to try and be there but my time is very limited unfortunately. I’m looking into it
The first thing I would say if I was a cfi is dont even think about touching the yoke with your right hand
Uh I thought your friend in aviation is ATC then the horizon. Also best non CFI I've seen I'll need lessons from you.
how do i get you to teach me
That should have a triple like. The other instructors seem to lack the faith in a beginner you have.
Thanks man!
5:01 -- Is that where Right Rudder is needed?
Not particularly. When first starting people don’t realize they have the aircraft in a bank. They are focused on everything else and don’t know that they need to correct it. Little friendly reminders like that kick them into gear
@@LewDixAviation Thanks for clarification. This looked like a really great intro flight.
Hypnotherapy conversations with Paul Garth, C.Ht. Ah thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. There’s a part two coming soon
Ewwwww I wouldn’t do that...as always fun and informative
Thanks Russ!
I learned more in this video than in my introductory flight, when I went flying me and the instructor practically sat in awkward silence as he flew me around the area
It’s a shame that you learned more from a video than real life but I’m glad you gained something from it!
Lesson 2: SPINS!
Lets start with flatspins!
Love the video but I can’t still get my mind over how you allowed yourself to fly a Cessna 😂
I’m ashamed of what I’ve done
I'm 14 and very interested in becoming a pilot maybe not commercial but we'll see.
Trim is poor man's autopilot M0A
And remember........................................................
A good pilot is always learning
@@butterking1523 I urge you to watch this video to see how it should be said ... th-cam.com/video/r9bwWmFfchg/w-d-xo.html
Silly Otto
Not in New York!
🤪
KKKKKKKKKKKKKK ( FLAPS DOWN? .Ohhhhhhhh.....excuse-me :-( )
Loose the devil thing
Sir, what the fuck is an aeroplane?
Full pants of sh.t from back sit pasanger does not put plane out off balance?
The video is good until you try to add "comedy"....
My channel is not for you then haha
