I also like how you celebrate small accomplishments with your students. I don’t feel enough instructors do that. It goes a long way for building confidence.
Been watching you for a quite while and you have inspired me to go back and finish my PPL. Had about 11 hours of flight time back in 2003 but was just not the right time in my life. Now it is. I love the learning process and you have made the training aspect SO FUN!!! You have quite the gift of communication with your students and the audience. I credit you and your page for rekindling the flying fire in my heart. 6 hours into my current training and just LOVING it. Thank you!
That’s amazing man! So happy to hear you’re back at it and even more over the moon that I was your inspiration! I wanna hear about every success during your training!
Great video. I like this student - she's got it. I loved it when she said she liked stalls. When my CFI was teaching me stalls he also made me let go of the yoke completely to show me the plane would fly itself out of the stall if I didn't screw it up. I got to liking stalls. My instructor got tired of me asking if we could work on some more stalls when we were out to work on other aspects of flying. I'd do what he wanted to do and then ask for more stall work. He caught on to me. 🙂 Great introduction into the rudder as preventive medicine as well as correction. Cool video.
This is so cool, this reminds me of flight school. She did a lot of the things I did and reminded me of a lot of fundamentals but also how far I've come.
She is going to be a good pilot, very confident! And a quick learner. Lew, dont you wish they were all that good? Of course the instructor has a Hell of a lot to do with it.
Great stuff man !! - Welcome to the Aviation world Ella - You did a GREAT job. Radio calls - nice !! Finesse on the controls - Beautiful !! Keep up the good work and more importantly ...... enjoy your training and have fun doing so.
I've noticed in the last couple of videos with new students, their first radio calls have been after the run up, where I know you used to do the first one pre-taxi, before the run up. Any reason you made that switch?
I'm shopping around for CFI in Orlando area to start training after the Christmas holiday, are you taking on new students? How do I get in touch if you are?
Great video. My wife enters the room, “Why does that CFI look like he needs a haircut and shave?” “No, honey; he’s a great CFI. Produces cool videos. I’m sure he cares about his looks when it’s important.”

Keep bringing Ella back, she has a great, fun attitude!

Nice job Ella. You’re in great hands. Keep laughing and learning.

It’s always cool to look back!
her first radio call sounds like mine with mumblyhundred hours.
9:25 11:15 you're so calm in the stall. And Ella seems like a model student.
She is going to be a good pilot, very confident! And a quick learner. Lew, dont you wish they were all that good? Of course the instructor has a Hell of a lot to do with it.
I loved this. Both of you are so entertaining and shes doing great!

my favorite new student! She's doing great. 😁
Doing my first discovery flight next Friday! Love your videos. Keep doing your thing and best of luck to your future!
Great stuff, Lewis! Looking forward to following Ella's progress. Silver's loss is definitely our gain. 😁
Haha thank you!
This is the first time I've seen this channel and it takes me back 23 years to flight school.
Welcome back to your past. Stick around, you’ll enjoy my content 🙌🏻
awesome Lew. Really enjoyed this one...good mnemonics and rudder control lesson.
So proud of this girl!
Lewis, great content and great teaching!!
She’s doing really well man! Thanks brother!
6:30 I don’t know about other places but in my area, they teach the HASEL check 🤓
She’s all nervous when she practices the radio calls and then she Rockstars it on the actual calls!!! Nice !!
That’s how it goes 🤷🏼♂️ Overthinking is the enemy!
Very competent student. The kind we all hope to have haha 👍🙌🏻
Here I am cheering for her getting that call right 🤣😂🤣
Great job.🤜🏼🤛🏼
What a great video!
Thank you!

@lewdixaviation whats the difference between these stalls and the other stall videos where people go into a spin
I remember sitting with my instructor at his desk having mock ATC communications when I was a student. She’s going to be fine.
Whatever it takes to get it learned! It’s not easy at first.
I'm shopping around for CFI in Orlando area to start training after the Christmas holiday, are you taking on new students? How do I get in touch if you are?
Today stalls, tomorrow barrel rolls. Better come ready Ella 😂
You’re not too far off 😂
Ella is going to be a great pilot one day! I'd fly on her aircraft anytime!
She is! I’ll make sure of it 🙌🏻
you are an excellent instructor!
As someone who used one myself, you need to get her a confidence cushion! 😂
I've signed up for a discovery flight on your site
8:11 All I can think of when you say discipline is from your mockumentary with different types of CFI's video with Charles 😂
😂 Good old Charles!
Dude she killed that flight, those comms *chefs kiss*
The audience approves of charming young ladies😊
Awesome content brother,, from your homeland britain 😄
Cheers mate!
Great video. My wife enters the room, “Why does that CFI look like he needs a haircut and shave?” “No, honey; he’s a great CFI. Produces cool videos. I’m sure he cares about his looks when it’s important.”
😂 you can tell your wife that the hair is cut and the beard is nearly all gone. I had to keep a bit as a keepsake.
@@LewDixAviation haha!
3:13 “Goolf”…….
You’re not the only one who’s done stuff like that. I heard that and said “yup…. Been there.”
It’s amazing how we start out haha
I hope to get an instructor like you
Hey captain you still flyin the ATR?
Nope!
@@LewDixAviationfurlough or waiting on a major?
@@lukebelvin4900 Personal choice to go back to having a life 😂
@@LewDixAviation haha I got you man, best of luck.
i thought it was called Lake ACrapaCaca
Idk why, but when you have your headset and glasses on in videos I always feel like you look like Sebastian Vettel.
Haha I’ll take it
Show her how not to stall the coffee pot
I could not understand him.
I expected english.
I'm sorry but I give this video a 1/10 because she doesn't have Flying Eyes on!!! Shame. :)
