The Recreational Pilot
Добавлен 10 июл 2021
Welcome to The Recreational Pilot. This channel is about my journey as a new Private pilot. My ultimate goal is to fly professionally, but I have to start somewhere. I am a full-time Steelworker who flies whenever I am able to, so I may not upload as much as the other channels who have more freedom. This channel will highlight my journey as a new Private pilot as I aim towards my Commercial license and other certificates. I hope you enjoy the content on my channel.
First Flight in a Month! Cold Weather Start and In-Flight Mechanical Failure
After a month of being grounded I finally got the the hangar to do some flying with my Buddy Steven. With below freezing temperatures and an inflight mechanical failure it was definitely an interesting flight.

Early morning commute, Commercial training, and a late night Cross Country!!
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.2 года назад
After getting my plane early in the morning I did Commercial training with Devin then did a long night Cross Country. One of the many benefits of being an aircraft owner is being able to make your own schedule and fly when it best suits you. No fighting for rental spots and finding a place to rent in the first place. @pilotd

Dad doesn't know I'm a licensed pilot, so I took him flying!!

I started flight training on March 20th 2020, on July 20th 2022 I finally completed my Private Pilot Check Ride. The thing is I never informed my dad that I did and decided to surprise him by taking him flying under the ruse that it would only be a High Speed Taxi for maintenance.
awesome proud dad just wants to tell everyone by picking up his phone right away....
Absolute made up
This is awesome to watch. The joy on the dad’s face but then the satisfaction on the pilots face when he got to finally share the moment with his dad. As a son and proud father this is a special thing right here
lol get off the devices and fucking enjoy the experiences with your son.
Dad looks so happy! Dont think i seen him without a smile
that mic unplug and increased throttle was so smooth i had to rewatch a few times
This is something I had to plan ahead of time. My dad has been working on our local airfield for 20 years at this point. He knows the lingo and what the call outs mean. What made it better is that his mic actually was cutting out through the video. Turns out he was wearing his headset backward, and his mic was down by his chin, and the audio wasn't getting picked up. That's why it looks like we are eating our mics all the time because it won't pick up our voices if we don't. I'm happy with how it turned out and I can't believe it's been over 2 years since this happened.
To see the look on your dads face is priceless. He's so proud of you dude.
Congratulations on getting your license. That was awesome. Love it!
So cool!! :)
He left the door latch open
You're nasty.
His so proud of you he record use 2 things 😊😅😅Godbless
Have you noticed his head is on a swivel, right on dude
"Dad doesn't knoW Im A PiL0t" yeah right, typical click baiter
🎉may i ask what it would roughly cost to get a pilot license and lets say u practice like twice a week how long does it take? For some reason im more attractive to helicopter. But owning a plane or heli is def not a financial option. But i would love to fly.
Now what did the dad think what will happen next if the son is doing all the checks on ground. I think a big suprize will be when the instructor climb in and then climb out and give the plane over to the son😂😂😂
Has dad didn't miss a view was that camera lens
Nice job! Your dad is really enjoying in new mobile and Camera.
illegal immigrants cannot file a criminal case against anyone when they are here illegally. stupid people we must really be living in the Matrix.
Proud papa..! 🛩
The look on daddy's face Just says it all..! 🤗😂❤
You can tell how proud the dad is. What a great video!!
So what. Grow up.
Seeing a handsome father, so happy and proud was fantastic!
BS. Don't believe it. Q. How can you tell if someone's NOT a pilot? A. Within the first five minutes of meeting them they haven't told you they're a pilot.
Is it better than a Cessna 150?
@shujayethossain6554 Basically, in every aspect, yes. Only this that 150 has is that they're more common, so find mechanics and instructors will be easier to find, and it'll be easier to find one for sale. Other than that, the Tomahawk is better in basically every aspect. They're a lot cheaper than the 150, performs much better, more comfortable to fly, carries more, goes further, flies faster, you name it. Fuel use is a bit more since it has a slightly larger engine, but even with the 125hp upgrade, you're burning 5.5 - 6 gal/hr. In colder climates, you can get about 1,000 ft/min climb rate as long as you're not pushing your useful load. It is, in my opinion, a much better aircraft than the 150.
Thank you! Does it require a PPL to fly? What should be a good price for a good condition right now?
@shujayethossain6554 PPL yes, it is in the same class as the Cessna 150's. Anywhere from $40,000 - $50,000. There are a few higher in price, though for that much I'd rather spend 80k on a Cherokee 180, though this is all personally preference as a 180 might be more plane than you need/want. This would be mind bogglingly high in price 4 years ago, but like everything else in this administrations economy, it skyrocketed in price. If you have the budget, spend the extra on one that has the 125hp engine upgrade. This is the best upgrade you can buy, in my opinion, as the 112hp stock engine can be a bit underwhelming. Just note that it does reduce the TBO from 2,400 hrs to 2,000 hrs. So be aware of that when buying one with a higher time engine. Basic avionics is all you need, but I would 100% prefer a dual Garmin G5 setup with a good ADS-B Out Transponder, Garmin GTX 335. For a little extra you can get the 345 woth ADS-B In, when linking your iPad's foreflight to it, it is a game changer flying, though there are portable receivers for cheap, but not as reliable and is for reference use only. To add, this is a light airframe, so IFR flying is not recommended, but having the ability for a pop-up IFR to get through clouds is doable, but nothing more is recommended.
Wonderful! Actually, I want to o get a PPL and want to buy a plane to get the hours for cheap. I am confused between Cessna 150, Tomahawk, Tiger, Yankee, and Vans RV. I need the one that is cheapest to operate and insure.
@shujayethossain6554 Another thing I forgot to mention is to get a 1979 model. The 1978 model was the first iteration and has more ADs/headaches than the 1979 model. So get a 1979 over any other year
How could he not know about his son studying and practicing to become a pilot?
The was awesome!
So sweet! He's so proud of you! Dad with the bifocals! I can so relate.
Great job! Absolutely LOVED! your video! Definitely one of the best videos I’ve seen on uTube, and I say this in all truth. I will follow you. You are genuine.. what a pleasure. Fun watching your dad react! That was real good!!!! You got him for sure! You did a great job planning this all out! Thank you. You are amazing!🌹
I would love to get my license.
What is special beeing a little ppl pilot. I would feel extremly akward if I would try to impress anyone with this. That is nothing !! Beeing stupid and weak its the only thing you are proving.
sadly his dad thought it was more important to take his pictures than to praise his son in the present
Change one thing - Breathe when you're landing. It seemed like you held your breath the entire time. LoL
Buttered that landing! Jesus loves you bro! Hope you get your CPL soon! God loves you!
This was always a dream of mine, to surprise my dad but sadly he lost the battle to cancer last year, I will never be able to surprise him by flying an airplane, it was my dream to fly one.
I would never in a million years be able to get my dad in a plane a day after my check ride. Nor would I ride with my son until he had hundreds of hours
I love it, this guy is basically giving his dad the preflight flight attendant's speech to the passenger, lol.... And dad.....that would be me, taking pictures of everything, probably the entire time. 😂
I get why this is a heartwarming video , that being said I think it should be air law that all passengers are expressly informed that they are about to become airborne prior to a takeoff. To propel someone thousands of feet into the air without asking them seems a bit contrary to constitutional rights as an individual , you know what I'm saying? Also it's a good idea to get your front seat passenger to put their hands in there lap on takeoff and landing , if that one unexpected gust happens at a critical phase of flight you don't want anything impeding your yoke inputs. Sorry if I came off as a bummer and a stickler , congrats on becoming part of the real 1%.
Makes me so happy to see your father's proud smile. All the luck to you mate
5:20 I was like "No I can hear him fine!" until you unplugged his headset and said the takeoff command , then I knew exactly what you were doing lol. I was wondering earlier how you're going to surprise him when you say ready for takeoff.
In what second dad realizes you are his son?
Dad is fucking geeked lol love it
Proud father and memorable time together. I’ll never forget the day my father & I flew together 1st of many. Enjoyed your upload!
cool! but next tim do what Michael Gambon did with a friend, pretend to have a cardiac infarction while piloting, banking the plane and lowering the head as if dead lol
imagine havin' a pland And a dad
Your father's reaction is so relaxed and he is thrilled. My father would have freaked out
That's the video I came from..... It still impacts today.
Didn't know Martin Shkreli is a pilot
Dumbest shit ever.
