- A lot of people end up going for their first flight on clear calm days with a Certificated Flight Instructor that will show them the ropes of low level flying. What do you need to do in order to be ready for this flight? What are some things the instructor is going to go over with you? YOU ARE GOING TO FLY THE AIRCRAFT! But, how do you do it? That's all covered in this video as I wish you the best on your first discovery flight.
This is a great video, no doubt... but not for a person who is going for a discovery flight. This is just too much information to be trying to gain for your first flight.Listen, to anyone who is going for a discovery flight.... Just show up for the flight and enjoy the flight. There is no need to start stressing yourself about impressing your instructor. Just have fun, and your instructor job is to make sure you enjoy yourself on the flight!
i think for someone who already has an idea of how planes fly this is a good reference. or if you've flown in video games you kind of already have the basic idea of what's needed to turn
Why?
This is EXACTLY what I did in my first lesson...
This would DEFINITELY impress your cfi, just like having your written and a bunch of other things already done...
Thank youuu.. Have a Discovery Flight coming up on Tuesday... so scared, yet so excited..!💕🤩
Just relax, be open to controlling the aircraft and you’ll be fine!
I have my discovery flight the same day! Good luck!
Just curious how did your discovery flight go ? I'm hoping I can do one this summer .
Did you survive? jk how did it go?

You’re going to love it! Where are you doing the discovery flight out of?
@@JPLAviation I live in Windsor Ontario Canada, so I'm doing it out of my local flying school, Windsor flying club! Thanks for responding, love your channel!
@@emilytaylor695 How did your discovery flight go!
@@alwinlee5864 It went great! I went on it over a year ago and Im training for my PPL now! I actually had my first solo a few days ago! All the best:)
Great job 👍
Thanks man? You going for a discovery flight soon?
Hey man love the video! I’m actually going on one this summer! Just a quick question, when mentioning the three axis of flight, did you happen to mix up vertical and lateral movements on the aircraft? I was a little confused when you were moving the aircraft side to side (rudder control) in the example and calling it vertical movement and then explaining pitch as lateral movement. I was just a little confused, but I loved the video and found it very helpful!
Pitch is on the lateral axis while yaw is on the vertical axis! Think of a wall intersecting at the CG of the airplane in three dimensions. If you’re into math it’s basically the x,y,z on a graph.
@@JPLAviation ok got it! Thanks so much!
Quick question I’ve always wanted to get my pilots license. Where are some good places to get my license and when do I do a discovery flight ?
Hey, I don’t know if you figured out answers to your questions but I figure since I’m about to be going through this I’d tell you what I’m doing as an aspiring pilot.
This weekend I’m going to look at a college for flight. I went to a siminar I looked up on FAPA and they had a speaker there who I clicked with. Today I got called by there admissions team and this really helpful lady said “come by and take a tour and discovery flight for free” so me and my parents are traveling to this college to go check them out and take a discovery flight.
The best thing I could’ve done was go to that FAPA event. Look it up, bring a pen and a notebook, take notes about what all the speakers say, and talk to the others in the room. You all have the same goals and aspirations In one way or another.
@@noctis8596 that’s wassup dude thanks . Shortly after I sent this message I found my way! I’m close to getting my private license now.
