Thank you!

Yeah quite the machine! Big difference from my Cherokee 180

That is awesome! He is such a good instructor isn’t he? Going back for my instrument soon!

He is awesome isn’t he? I’m going back for my instrument soon with him

John Nutt is the best. I took my checkride November 2022 and passed with flying colors! I highly recommend him he is great. Looking to get my instrument rating soon. Had my pilots license for a year and half or so. At 235 hours now and enjoying every minute all the adventures I’m able to go on!

@@johnwight6041 That’s awesome! Who was your DPE?

@@johnwight6041 Great! Any insight or tips that you can provide for the checkride?

Based out of Nashua KASH. Nice flight from KBTV to KASH last night

Yeah the plane we are in was the one I bought (a Cherokee 180) a few flight lessons in. I was having so much fun I couldn’t help myself. I got to fly in his Archer for the first few lessons that is a nice machine. He just got it painted, new engine, and new interior. Looks like a brand new plane I’m jealous. Do you have your ppl now?

Thank you very much!

You should do it! Book an intro flight and thank me later lol. It’s so much fun!

Your welcome!

What is with the age I am 80 and still fly and until I decide then I will quit, but for now want to fly on my own until at least 90 then maybe. and for your information only less than 3% of people in the world make it to 80 so pretty rare person. Keep flying till the end. And if the FAA pulls my license I will buy an ultra light and keep flying.

I am not quite 80 but had a heart attack and multiple joint repairs from my younger years. I did all 3 class flight physicals for 35 years and did a lot of class 3's on 80 plus year old pilots. Your aging has been kind to you, me not so much 😊

Yes I did get my ppl about a year ago. Honestly the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s 100% worth it I can assure you! A plane and pilots license is like the ultimate freedom and it’s so much fun going to new destinations and exploring! The views and the fun of flying never get old too! You should do it. John Nutt is an amazing instructor and Nashua is a great airport to fly out of

That’s a really good description for turbine powered aircraft (turbofan, turbojet, turboprop etc)! But this is a piston engine. Specifically a Lycoming O-360 (which stands for opposed cylinders, 360 cubic inches displacement (size of the cylinders). The chamber in a jet type engine that ignites fuel is called a combustion chamber and the turbine blades are connected to a shaft that spins up the compressor that pulls more air in. There is a good video I watched on it here that explains how turbine type engines work: ruclips.net/video/KjiUUJdPGX0/видео.htmlsi=_JOp8ycLf3Kvph17. A really interesting depth video explaining piston aircraft engine put out by Embry Riddle is here. Really cool video! ruclips.net/video/gIdXLMVP6VU/видео.htmlsi=T_MQKwo_hVExEEOv. Keep learning I got into aviation when I was that age but never had the money when I was younger when my friend showed me Microsoft flight simulator. It’s a lot of fun keep shooting for the dream it’s just as much fun as you think!

He said I did a good job. My audio was connected to my headset connection and when I shut my avionics switch off it turned the audio off for the camera and it didn’t go to its internal microphone for some reason

Haha that is funny but also so true. I’ve read about so many accidents and incidents that could have been avoided by a simple go around. I’ll periodically go up in the pattern once every month or so and practice a few amongst other things and always have it in the back of my mind from my approach briefing. Super important. It literally only takes a few minutes to go around the pattern and try again and flying is fun anyways so what’s the rush to get on the ground anyway (unless you had a fire or an engine failure etc.)

Yes 100%

Agreed 100%. The one time you don't use a checklist is the time you forget a critical step. Very important!

No it was a Cherokee 180 from the factory. I have all the original documentation from 1967

Thanks! They are really great planes!

Wow that sounds like quite a challenge as a student! I passed my checkride back in November and try (weather and plane repairs permitting) to go on at least one cool adventure a week or at the very least go up in the pattern. My last trip was over to Niagara Falls which is an 8 hour car ride but only about 2 hours 50 minutes by plane +/- for the winds aloft. I always get a smile ear to ear every time I go up it is such a blast! Hope you still get to go up!

It’s definitely worth it! I said the same thing for years and finally just said screw it I need to make this happen or I’ll just be talking about doing it forever. 0 regrets and would 100% do it again. Fun fact Boire field is the second busiest general aviation airport in New England (the busiest is Hanscom). There is over 200 airplanes based there which is really cool. Take an introductory flight to see if you like it. I highly recommend it with John Nutt at New England Aeronautics he is an awesome guy! 30,000+ flight hours, very knowledgeable, great instructor, and very patient.

@@johnwight6041 I just might do that!

A Part 141 college is sometimes an option for funding as they tend to run less expensive per hour and since it's a college you're open to student loans, grants, scholarships and other funding alternatives. If one is planning a career in the cockpit Part 141 is necessary for that Bachelor's Degree. Well, with the pilot shortage a degree might not be an issue presently. There's also airlines willing to help with funding for a contract to hire with them.

Oh awesome! Great airport! The fuel was almost a $1/gallon less than Nashua, the runway is insanely long and wide (the cherokee looks like a joke on it it’s literally a 200’ wide runway) and it has the most parking I’ve ever seen at an airport. There is this huge concrete parking area that must be over a 100 acres. Never seen anything like it. But very close to town and the lake and unbelievable views flying over Champlain and also of the Adirondacks. I highly recommend the airport. There is a great public beach in Plattsburgh on lake Champlain too worth checking out. No landing fees or parking fees either. I was very surprised there were not more people there I saw maybe 3 or 4 planes parked by the FBO and that was July 4th weekend last year

You will have a great time! They are a really fun plane to fly and really easy. I have my private pilots license now and 168 hours and don’t regret it a bit! I just go on cool adventures all the time with friends. 100% do it you won’t regret it

@@johnwight6041 Very inspiring! As a new student pilot, this was very enjoyable and informative to watch. I just subscribed, please keep making videos!

@@CptBagelsawesome sounds good I’ll make more videos soon!

Good plane have about 800 hrs in one

He is an awesome instructor! Have my private now and will be getting my instrument rating soon. All the prep we did made the checkride a breeze. John Nutt is the man!

I'm just a student pilot but if you want to work on airplanes more than just than just doing small stuff like light bulbs or tires, you need to get an A&P certificate. Then you can become an airplane mechanic. There is actually a huge shortage of aviation mechanics right now so it isn't a bad field to get into right now.
