I love your attitude and your willingness to share your mistakes so we can learn. I feel like that's pretty rare in aviation. Your youtube channel is in my top three favorite aviation channels.
My CFI said something that has stuck with me. "If you don't see the other plane don't say you have the traffic in sight. They'll help." I've stuck to that pretty solid.
Very 1st thing my flight instructor taught me was to set keys on top of the fuel selection switch as soon as you open the door. Every time. Keeps you from having to dig them out of your pocket after belted, and you will never miss the fuel valve position!
Similar experience in a 182 to a 2700’ rwy at only 2000’ msl coming in hot. I landed about halfway down the runway and peeled some rubber off the mains before stopping at the very end. Very scary. At the moment I can’t recall the factors that led up to my decision to continue an unstable approach but I haven’t done it since.
Awesome video! With check-list items my instructor taught me to touch each item. Not a fool-proof way to avoid your "tanks on both" but it would have drawn your attention there for a few moments and maybe you would have picked it up.
8:09 I see you still see aviation as something you memorize as opposed to something you learn. That's the same as cramming for a test vs studying. Studying will help you become fluent.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, this information is gold. Also I have been writing a bunch of flash cards since I was preparing for my PPL. My oral exam was so smooth thanks to the preparation I had. Flashcards are the best. I pass PPL Checkride 4 months ago but I've been making Flashcards still. I look forward to when you release your flashcards for PPL & IRA. I will get a copy
To miss the fuel valve means you're memorizing a different checklist than what is in your POH. So that means if you were to fly in weather conditions that require further attention in the CL, you'll miss it. People have died from that. For example, Florida pilots not used to checking anti-ice items on the CL. To forget, or worse, ignore the fuel valve is even worse.
4:45 You don’t switch your fuel selector to left or right during shut down? Seems like a good idea. In addition to the logistical fuel vent reason for doing so, it’s a good way to make sure you don’t ignore the fuel selector by habit.
That checklist thing is so scary and insidious - you verbalise it and even feel like you've actually checked but you haven't Confirmation bias is similarly horrifying - once you get something wrong in your head, it's often hard to see that it's wrong
Hi, i'm hoping to start flight training soon and i'm very interested in your flash cards. Although i am in Europe and wondering if there's a huge difference between FAA and EASA with aviation laws? I already know there's huge differences in requirements for licenses, but i wonder if these flash cards would even be any use if all the information is incorrect for EASA?
I'm not familiar with the differences vs. EASA to be honest. I think a lot of it would still apply (aircraft systems, concepts, weather theory, physics, etc.) but the regulations would obviously be different. Sorry that I speak to that specifically!

Thanks so much! Nice of you to say. I think more people should share their mistakes... they're easier to learn from in my opinion.

Power off 180 taught me more about flying and landing than anything I have ever done as a pilot.
One of the better advice videos.

We are finally moving toward a RUclips era where people finally “jump right into it”. Amazing.
Just like always!! Good stuff sir. Your transparency is a great learning tool.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Flashcards! At last ! Genius….ive wanted this all through training

Rote, understanding, application, correlation
Just joined the waitlist. Im just starting my private pilot, flying twice a week and im fucking pumped about the flashcards.

On the wait list and doing my check ride at the end of February, reqlpy hoping they will be here in time. Also awesome video all great information
It was a very informative video. Thank you.
I’m so excited for the flashcards 😁

Thank you for leting us Learn from Your experience
Great vid, as always…👌

and during fueling so it doesn't move from one wing to the other while fueling?
@@liliaflyingmomMD Good idea.
Hell yeah brother!
This is great. Thank you!
Awesome material
Will the flash cards help for getting a drone pilot license?
Maybe indirectly as they still cover airspace and metars and things. They aren't specifically built for drone use, though.
Third key mistake is confirmation bias. Don't just look at the selector, physically touch it. Great video.

Point of the checklist is that you assume nothing about the airplane is the way that you left it.
Nice 1100 hrs, but you probably haven't flown in other countries VFR and IFR. Quality over quantity
Dude. Nobody likes recycled content. Do better or lose subs.
