another excellent video, great flying Piper. Wow...it sure would be nice to see you at Osh and say hello, pls keep us posted on where and when you are there. I also flew a Champ back in the day, for me, the gas gauge (wire on a cork ) was stuck, the wire was bent so it didn't move up and down and we thought that we had lots of fuel, didn't run out but could have lol.
Love the channel - been watching for awhile. Disagree with your take on “boring” touch & goes, Piper. It’s fun to watch the learning process and the cool $100 hamburger missions too. The Champ with an armstrong starter was the first GA aircraft I ever flew - awesome story Capt! Great story on SoFi. Very much looking forward to viewing your first solo flight and solo cross country. Keep up the awesome content!
I’m willing, and waiting, to see anything you do Piper, no matter how uneventful it may seem. Please continue because you are an inspiration to the many people who watch regularly!
Great video Piper. You are doing so well and congratulations on finishing college. Captain Carl's stories are great too. Aviation is unpredictable sometimes but its amazing how we pilots just kick in with our training even under stress., I had to do my first aborted take off a couple of days ago and it was weird how calm and controlled I was!
I’ve watched you on you tube, of your flying adventures, and have enjoyed them-your dad and Pat. Today, I stumbled onto the fact that you were a young actress! What popped up was paranormal adoption. Whoa😳. I’m even more impressed. Dave, retired airline pilot.
Great story Carl - seemed quite harrowing! Keep those flying lessons coming Piper - always nice to see those :) Hope you guys manage to make it to Oshkosh and take us along with you!
Hey Piper, you are doing a great job...and tres cool to listen to Carl's stories....congrats on finishing school...Good luck with Oshkosh, I am sure someone will take up your offer....happy landings;-))
@@1capcarl Missed the Flight Lesson Today 😥 Would love to have seen more all the 10 touch and goes... noticed that Carl manages the power on short finals all the time.... looking forward to more flight lesson videos....
Pattern work is fun to watch...especially in the 182...gives you a good workout too! I will watch whatever you want to post. Love the stories that come with your adventures.
@@1capcarl Will do!! My subscribers seem more interested in the flying than I would have expected so I'm going to try to keep them up to date. Seems the love of flying crosses over a whole bunch of genres.
Great Champ story. There's a fantastic little micro RC Champ (15" wingspan) that runs about $90, including a radio, ready to fly out of the box. It flys beautifully in no wind, its one of my favorite all time flying experiences. I have ~4200 hours flying Fighters (which won't sound like a lot capncarl, but its a lot) and some in GA, but I didn't REALLY learn to fly until I mastered RC flying. So I highly recommend supplementing full scale flying with RC flying. Its more than a sim, its actual flying, just from a different perspective. That perspective teaches you more in some respects, and less in others, but all types of flying is valuable. The kicker is you can rack up flying hours fast and cheap and, at least to me, the endless RC laboratory is every bit as fun and rewarding. Point is, flying a little micro Champ on a football field, park, or cul-de-sac before the wind picks up, is time well spent learning to make any airplane dance. Just a thought for those who want to become better pilots, faster, or others who may not have the means to break into full scale flight.
@@1capcarl It looks discontinued for the larger 24" wingspan Hobbyzone HBZ44000. Bummer, the Champ was perfect. I'm sure the Cub is great too. The E-Flite 15" PT-17 is a beautiful flying RC trainer, too. These micro airplanes weigh-in at a couple of ounces, so they carry no energy and are very low risk.
You will love Oshkosh. It's an aluminum overload. My first year, at Oshkosh, was 1987. I have only missed two years. It's difficult to try, and see everything in one week. Definitely plan your days. The Seaplane base is a wonderful spot too. Theater In The Woods will always have a great event/program. If you're camping, get to the shower house early. Better chance of warmer water. Any other tips you all need, feel free to ask. Congratulations on graduating from college! Wishing you the best of luck on receiving your PPL!!
I really enjoyed the video and I found the stories really interesting. Sounds pretty scary flying in that plane with no navigation or radios and into a busy place like Oshkosh. It's also pretty cool about the Rams stadium which would be a great tour. I wouldn't mind watching boring videos of pattern work if you explain your speeds and all the checks you go through on take off and landing.
Great job! Good to see new pilots learning. Are you willing to hear a couple of friendly hints from an old timer? If so... at :38, when you report ready but not first in line, you can say 'ready in sequence' to let the tower know that you are ready, but not first. Also, at :52 your flight instructor missed that you didn't read back the hold short instruction, just said Roger. These days we're required to read back hold short instructions... I've certainly done worse! As they say, it is important to learn from mistakes, even better to learn from other's mistakes.
Absolutely professional and inspirational videos, thank you. I'm only a few hours into flying (for but love the Cherokee 140 so far). I would be interested in watching some touch/go's if you guys are willing as it scares the crap out of me so far....is funny to most I guess until you learn it. I'm in FL, Thank You and please keep teaching !
@@1capcarl My grandfather was like that. If he knew you for any length of time you'd get a clever nickname. Keep up the great content- I think y'all have hit on a winning formula by flying to some new place each time with a good lunch and great stories added in for good measure! That's interesting content. Cheers P[>
My #1 tip, from 52 years/28,000 hours flying; be thinking EVERY second, from sitting in airplane, until getting out. Your dad knows his stuff. You’re learning from one of the best👍🏻
I just came across this channel and have been taking lessons at Santa Paula Airport. After your lunch you were walking by some of the planes I train in. Congrats on graduating college.
Got a solo license in the early 60s on a dirt runway and never used the radio!! You sound really confident on radio! Nice landing Piper!! To your Dad, I've flown in an aeronca champ back then!! Amazing what you could get for $800.00 back then!!
Good for you. I fly out of Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez. Love the approach to Santa Paula! If you can make a nice landing there, you can do it anywhere! Come up to Santa Ynez some time, the friendliest little airport around!
Always an Av-nut with model airplanes and hang-gliding and then a co-worker took be for a few airplane rides. I was so totally overwhelmed with the speeds on takeoff and landing I felt like I was always 4-5 seconds behind the plane. The last flight he had me fly most of it...climb to this altitude while turning to this heading and variations... He took over base-to final and I followed along and what a smile on my face. I was totally there and felt I could have managed it. I still lean towards flying lawn furniture but oh that was a memorable flight! The entry cost, annuals, medicals, hangar fees...ech! But I'll buy the gas for the next $100-hamburger. In the air is good stuff!
You're so lucky to fly quality hardware - you should see the junk I had to endure during my flight training. All in all, what matters is that you know your equipment and if you are lucky enough to fly the good stuff, well then just rise to the occasion and you'll be that much more ahead!!!
My dad went to the Oshkosh air show in 1970. He flew with a friend that had a early 50s Navion. My dad had his pilots license and flew a Taylorcraft BC12D. The Navion was obviously a better choice... its very similar to the Aeronca. They encountered some IMC conditions and his friend assured him he was IFR capable. He obviously was not and they got into a bad situation but they made it through.His pilot friend was a bit a hot shot know it all Dad never flew with him again. If Pat is doing all your videos he knows what he is doing....well filmed and edited.
Hey guys, great channel indeed. I just started my PPL, and I wanted to ask you... do you have any tips for that turbulence sickness you get during the first lessons?
If you really want to learn how to fly it will go away on it's own getting better each time you go up. Try to fly early in the day. Take motion sickness med to help you get over it only if necessary. It comes from the stress of the new experience and is very normal.

Piper I would totally trust you with my life. Keep it up. I tried helicopters but my eyes are too bad for commercial. I think when I get out of this rut I'm gonna go back. Just for myself. You have a beautiful calm thats hard to find in a girl. Easy to see for me, your father is a cool dad too.
I grew up between San Diego and here tri cities Washington. Mother was part of the airshow coordinating staff every year, I got to go up in a couple crop dusters and helicopters when I was a boy. I have posters and pins patches. I remember the f 16 guy taking off one of his patches and giving it to me..I evern slept with the A 10 pilots bullets like my teddy 🧸 bear. It was in a sock I I think not real. Lol.
Nice! Hope you're still having fun?! Sometimes all the mental tasks can take away from the fun. It gets easier with experience. So, 8th lesson? How many hours logged so far? Any goals for hours in before Solo? Take your time by all means! Enjoy the journey, not be focused on just the destination. You're doing great, and your Dad is a great instructor.
Great VID Piper! We will see you guys next time! :-). Are you guys going to be at the ACCA 2021 this year? I plan on attending & it would be great to meet you guys & say hi! Don/NE Ohio
Watching Piper struggling a bit to look over the cowl; seems to me she could get the seat a bit higher or maybe use a cushion to improve visibility. Just a suggestion.
@@1capcarl You're welcome. I forgot to mention how much I'm enjoying these videos; hang in there, your training will get more challenging soon. These videos are especially noteworthy since I own a Piper Cherokee, 😊 and I had lunch at the same table you and your Dad (and photographer) had lunch at a few months ago while helping my brother at Santa Paula. Blue skies!
Hi Piper! Have you tried sitting a bit higher in the 182? It looks like you are really craning your neck during landing and especially flare to see over the nose. As a glider instructor I got in the habit of checking the seating height of all my new students, and recommending the shorter students use cushions to better see over the nose. If you can't see well over the nose, it can reduce your depth perception and make landing more difficult than it needs to be.
@@1capcarl and I hope you can get some glider flights some time. You'll love the visibility, expand your perspective on energy management, and use the rudder pedals more than ever.
Carl, it seems like sacrilege to let Piper fly a Cessna.:-) I fly a Piper Colt with a tailwheel conversion and it is a nice bird. Your story about Culver Military Academy caught my attention. In the 90's I lived on Lake Latonka which was about mid-way between Culver and Plymouth, IN. My son also attended the summer camp there when he was a teen and now lives in Rochester, IN so I get back to that area occasionally. It is a pretty campus. I assume there is no flight training there now but looking at the satellite view it seems they still maintain the runways (well, at least they cut the grass). Do you have any history you can share about when the flying stopped there?
Ken, I heard a rumor that they had an accident that caused them to decide to not continue to do flight instruction. There is a local FBO that has taken over training some of their students.
Feel free to post your T&G. I'm interested in hearing how Cap Carl teaches this. I believe there are as many ways to teach than there are ways to learn !
Capt Carl, N26PL is in Santa Maria for some paint work. I'm flying into Burbank Sunday or Monday. Can I get a ride to Santa Maria for expenses? Cheers, Scott
@@1capcarl My friends give Theresa high marks. I just had the upper wings and touch ups done on the Beech. She wanted 42K for a full paint...maybe restore it in a few years. It still looks good. I'm in SC, flying back Monday I think. If it works out great, if not I'll get there. More likely a Tuesday event. You going to Oshkosh? cheers, Scott
@@1capcarl unfortunately they shut the CMA aviation program down years ago after an accident. One of my old bosses though actually started a flight school about 15 minutes north of the lake in Plymouth that is now tied into CMA and several local high schools.
Who knows, maybe one day when I'm close to retirement I'll show up to work and Piper will be my FO. You know if she pursues that route she's going to run in to fellow aviators who saw these videos and the give away is going to be when they let a "Pipie" slip out. "Gear up Pipie!"
@@1capcarl Ok, cool, that is a sensible reference for a quick glance at the airspeed indicator. I wouldn't had said the top, because the top of the arc to me would be the faster speeds. But I guess the slower speeds in this case physically is at the top of the dial. Also I did not guess that "70" is in the lower green range of a C182. Is it 70 knots or mph? All in all I got curious if maybe you had an angle of attack indicator or something like that as additional speed guidance :-)

If you can't see well over the nose, it can reduce your depth perception and make landing more difficult than it needs to be.

Capt Carl, N26PL is in Santa Maria for some paint work. I'm flying into Burbank Sunday or Monday. Can I get a ride to Santa Maria for expenses?
Cheers, Scott
Scott, I want to visit their paint shop too. cwatts2955@aol.com
@@1capcarl My friends give Theresa high marks. I just had the upper wings and touch ups done on the Beech. She wanted 42K for a full paint...maybe restore it in a few years. It still looks good.
I'm in SC, flying back Monday I think. If it works out great, if not I'll get there. More likely a Tuesday event. You going to Oshkosh?
cheers,
Scott
Pat the unsung hero! Great job you guys👍👍
He does amazing work
I noticed 2 hands on yoke during landing. Were you trimmed for landing?
Maybe not enough ! Good point !
There’s something strange about a woman named piper flying a Cessna 😂 nice video!😜
I know!
Small world! Culver is 20 min away. I can't tell you how many times I've flown around Maxinkuckee.
It was so much fun working there.
@@1capcarl unfortunately they shut the CMA aviation program down years ago after an accident. One of my old bosses though actually started a flight school about 15 minutes north of the lake in Plymouth that is now tied into CMA and several local high schools.
Who knows, maybe one day when I'm close to retirement I'll show up to work and Piper will be my FO. You know if she pursues that route she's going to run in to fellow aviators who saw these videos and the give away is going to be when they let a "Pipie" slip out. "Gear up Pipie!"
That would be funny
Piper learning to fly in a Cessna. Just doesn't feel right 🙃

@@1capcarl Cool
That story kept sounding like it was gonna have a punchline and nothing happened
Sorry Farris !
What's the music track you use?
Pat will answer that.
In Europe we say „ready for departure“

Looks awesome! cool story sounds like you we’re lucky on the telephone poles.. piper what are you going to school for.
Communications
she only flies to lunch haha
We eat first !
I think Piper said the approach speed was "top of the green", which instrument did that refer to?
Probably the green arc on the airspeed indicator
@@1capcarl Ok, cool, that is a sensible reference for a quick glance at the airspeed indicator.
I wouldn't had said the top, because the top of the arc to me would be the faster speeds. But I guess the slower speeds in this case physically is at the top of the dial. Also I did not guess that "70" is in the lower green range of a C182. Is it 70 knots or mph?
All in all I got curious if maybe you had an angle of attack indicator or something like that as additional speed guidance :-)
Clone Piper to save the West .
Yes !
