ATC comms are SO important. Imagine getting into the cockpit for your intro flight and shocking the CFI when you ask to work the radios and you nail it. We’ve had SO many clients with this exact story where they used our ATC for their home flight simulators to learn how to talk to ATC before they ever got into a real cockpit. They were miles ahead of the game when they started their training.
Thanks Pilotedge I'm a student pilot who has benefit from your service
@@njbpaul fantastic!
N2844Q here, will finish watching this video and going to show up and greet SoCal approach once PE up and running in 40 minutes! Great service guys and gals!
You started off with a real sore point for me. Medical!! I live in A-Fib 24-7. Attempts to correct it have failed. My wife could have passed the medical, no problem, but she passed away ten years ago. I am eighty years old and still here, but still in A-Fib , and looking at another birthday in two and one half months. At least they still let me drive my truck! Nobody said that life would be fair, did they!! Enjoy your piloting and be thankful!! Congratulations Cristy!!!
Excellent episode Dan and Christy. Definitely a good list. It can be overwhelming at times, especially at first. Finding a good instructor that you get along with, and had a teaching style that connects with you, is a big deal as well. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friends 🇺🇸🛩️
I can’t agree MORE with getting a home fight sim setup. I’m about 21hrs into my PPL, about to do first dual cross country..and the sim has been invaluable for remembering maneuver procedures and checklists and now flying the routes planned. I simmed every night before my first stage check and I crushed it! The chief instructor didn’t have anything to say which as a person who worries a lot about performance (imposter syndrome id say)I was super pleased! I really put work in the sim and I could feel the improvement.
Hope you’re using our ATC services!
When I got my PPL (1974), I took a ground school class at a small local Jr. college at night with around 25 students (later dwindled down to about 15 or so.) Classes were 2 hrs or so twice a week. They also had an aircraft in a separate "flying club". (Started in the original Grumman Yankee, then to a Darter Commander, a then Grumman AA1B. The emphasis was to try to intergrate what things were taught in ground school, then as soon a possible, schedule the aircraft then go out for an hour or so, then practice what we had just learned that was relevant. I thought it was a great way to integrate go fly parallel with ground then flight. Soloed at 8 hrs, then PPL checkride w/ 44 hrs. Over 50 yrs ago and still actively flying with my own airplane.
The only kind of scary thing was on my 2nd solo flight in the Darter Commander (imitation C172), about 7-8 miles from the airport when out of nowhere the front windshield just blew out in some light typical summer bumpy air. Oddly, there wasn't that much wind coming in the cabin. It did suck out my charts and checklists, otherwise after just a couple of minutes, I gained compose and turned back. Flew at maneuvering speed, Normal Pattern and landing went fine, but when I got out, my legs were like jello.
Mindset is great. I would also say mentality. Mentality is more of a pattern of behavior.
Medicals are a big deal. I wish more schools would talk about that upfront and tell people that they should make sure they can pass a medical before starting training. Some times depending on a persons circumstances it's not so easy to obtain. You could be on a medication that the FAA thinks you shouldn't be flying on, could stop you till you change meds or maybe you can't and you're done right there. Could go on but glad you guys talked about it.
1)Purchase a used Police or fire scanner that has the aviation band you can find these on the 2nd hand market for less than 10$ and listen to your local traffic 2)Look into doing your flight training at a fly club so that way you pay AT COST for the rental of the airplane 3)While working towards your commercial if total hours permit consider any of the following rating(s) Airplane single engine sea, Glider, UAS FOI, either basic ground instructor or advanced ground instructor and instrument ground instructor. 4)check to see if you have college funding either through your work or your union(s) membership(s) 5)DON'T CHECK IN WITH THE ZERO TO HERO FLIGHT SCHOOLS! The average hours for a private of 67 hours, if your past 100 hours with no private something is wrong. 6)tho not required get a ham radio tech license and cross reference your knowledge
Not much to add, but you might include memorization... There are techniques that anyone can learn to facilitate memorization. Sounds silly, but you'll thank me later!
I like that and it’s another M.
👍✅ tks guys, good tips!
Weather = Meteorology
Mucho thanks for the Marvelous video on Multiple topics... is that five? Anyway on the buy-your-plane idea... you should also say that it would be very unlikely for a person buying a trainer now to see a 2x or 3x return - if plane costs go up that much in the next 3 years aviation will be dead. And also probably mention that planes have more maintenance than cars. On a hourly basis (vs driving a car) even a small plane will be 5x+ the price per hour due to cost of AvGas and so on... So just to be clear that the idea of "buy it for 70k, sell it in 3 years for 75k" should work out in most cases... that doesn't mean you made 5k... it means what you paid was a lot less per hour than you would have just renting a plane for timebuilding and training at 185hr/wet. :)

Would you talk about a scary flying situation you encountered that you had to overcome ?!
Memory retention.
Meteorlogy starts with an M!
Yes and I wish I had been quicker on figuring that out in the moment, lol.
Weather… “M”eteorology
Plan on it taking between 2.5-10 x longer than you think…
