people who make false accusations should be subject to investigation also just for lying
Oh trust me they are
Absolutely pathetic that someone would report you. You’re without a doubt the best and most proficient CFI on RUclips. You do more for the Aviation Community than any keyboard warrior could ever dream of. Keep up the awesome work Lew!
Thank you so much mate!
@@LewDixAviation Best and most proficient??? I will give you funniest! ;-)
People who create false reports should be charged for the time taken to investigate.
Secondly, the fact that the FAA said they love what youre doing is amazing and a big F you to the jerk who reported you 😂😂😂
As a low hour student pilot I appreciate all that you do. Thanks for everything.
Thanks man!
Exactly that was exactly what I wanted to comment! ❤
I'm a low time (~200 hours) pilot. I passed my Private Pilot check ride at the end of November 2022. Your channel was the one constant I watched from before I took my first discovery flight up through and beyond getting my certificate. It infuriates me that there are people who are so childish, so jealous, so whatever this person's problem was, that they'd try to take away this gift that you've given the aviation community. Thank you for all you do, thank you for not letting the haters hold you back, and THANK YOU for the valuable content you've created that truly helped me become a better pilot while also being constantly entertained :)
Wow, that’s incredible. Thank you. My channel is going nowhere. As long as people like yourself are inspired to fly, I’m doing my job.
It's true! You're hands down the only youtuber that walks the line of being fun and laid back while still being safe and holding to standards. Its not an easy line to walk and you are definitely and inspiration
Thank you so much!
Don't let the basement trolls get ya down. Love your content. It has helped me in my PPL journey no end, and put many smiles on my face over the years, especially through challenging times. Sounds like the FAA guy was a human being. Take his message, grab it, hold it. "Your videos are inspiring and entertaining". I coudn't have said it better myself. Hang in there.
Cheers mate! That's all I'm trying to do. Show people how cool flying is and how much fun you can have doing it safely.
All hail lewdix..... thank you for all you do. We love you.
🙌🏻
All hail lewdix!
Aw Lew, we'll always be on your side because you're out there changing the world. You're also largely responsible for me having flying hours, and not a car that's mine, so you know, cheers for that.
Don't let the bastards get you down.
How awesome to get encouragement like that from the FAA who most look at like the big bad government. Well done and keep it up.
Lew Dix, from the perspective of a former Air Force instructor pilot and Airline pilot, I have to say your content is outstanding, exceeded only by your fantastic presentation style. Please keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you so much!
I'm encouraged by the FAA inspector comments. That was the right conclusion to this complaint. I'm a Commercial pilot; SES and ASES with instrument rating and have been flying since 1986. I learn from you, your passion for perfection and your humor all toward the goal of making us better pilots. Thank you for your content and keep on doing what you are doing. I'd love to fly with you when we're next in Florida.
Thank you so much. I was happy with what the inspector said and it really affirms that I'm doing the right thing. I really enjoy what I do, so to have it potentially ruined would have been very disappointing. Thank you for your support!
Hey man , I just wanted to express my full support for what the FAA is saying, and I find your videos truly inspiring. I've watched one of your CFI student help videos, and I must say, in this world, you'll encounter haters and people trying to bring you down. These folks may be upset because they're not pursuing their passions, but instead of taking action, they choose to criticize. You, on the other hand, keep doing what you love, making videos, and helping others.
Your videos, especially the CFI ones, have been a significant encouragement for me in pursuing my CFII ticket, and hopefully, one day, becoming a Multiengine instructor and a DPE for the FAA. My long-term goal is to fly for one of the major carriers or the United States Air Force. I want you to know that your work is appreciated by myself and your fans.
I understand you take safety seriously, with disclaimers and editing, and your videos reflect that. You're doing a great job, so keep up the excellent work. Don't let anyone, including the unhappy individuals, deter you from your path.
Thank you for your support! I'm glad that you've found encouragement from my videos. That's amazing to read and means infinitely more that anything any hater can say. Thank you again!
Fun fact: you don't even need to brief it on the ground before the flight. 91.111 just says you need to arrange it with the PICs, no where does it say prior to being in the air. You can do that on the radio.
I must put a positive spin on this Forrest Gump (Stupid is as stupid does) world complaint. The FAA is the government and sometimes it gets very muddied. The FAA's mission is to provide the safest and most efficient airspace in the world. It is also here to provide service to our aviation needs and interest. My interpretation is you are the epitome of the FAA. You accomplish and far exceed the FAA mission. I see this complaint as a gift. The FAA has confirmed, as we already knew very well, that you give all of us pilots and future students the inspiration to succeed, learn, and be proficient in our aviation experiences. I have been a CFI for 17 years and my mission is to teach and be entertaining for every lesson. That is my prayer before every flight, please guide me to be both educational and entertaining. Thank you for your continuing contribution to aviation. I also believe in Karma. I have been a pilot for 39 years and I learn something new in all your videos. I need all the knowledge I can get.
For the person asking about time building (other than going the CFI route) there’s banner tow, ferrying , sightseeing tours, and jump plane - and some places have low hour reqs for cargo (eg, bush piloting in Alaska). You can also build time volunteering (unpaid) for orgs like Pilots n Paws or Angel Flight, which can be extremely rewarding on many levels!
Thank you for supporting aviation and aviation safety. Thank you for making great videos and helping to student pilots . We appreciate what you do. Keep it going 🎉
Love how the FAA praised you up!!! wish Cheeto-boy had heard the FAA's comment live...lolololol.....you are amazing, keep inspiring, keep documenting your journey into the sky...congrats on the success of your genuine content, and absolute enjoyable videos. So many people see pilots as full of themselves, which of course is not true, and your channel shows how genuine you are, and a true representative of those of us who LOVE the sky:)
standing ovation 👏👏 You were one of the first youtubers I started watching, which gave me inspiration and reignited my childhood dream of flying at age 34. I'm a few weeks away of getting my PPL. Thank you for what you do. Keep doing what you are great at, flying and entertaining us.
That’s amazing to hear. Thank you for watching and I’m so glad you enjoy what I do!
Keep doing what you’re doing! I have been the subject of being brought about in a SM platform and authorities. Certainly made me rethink my profession (soccer coaching in this instance) people who post and report without context or full knowledge invite random people to add comments that are flat out lies/Statements that are not even relevant and certainly affected my mindset and what others thought about me/made accusations that weren’t true.
You’re right there are people out there either jealous or have a bee in their bonnet that just becomes their grows into just rage and trying to ruin others.
Made me hold off on posting for sure.
You’re videos have certainly entertained me and I’m now on my career change pathway as a pilot. So keep it up! Glad your stronger than I was and continue with the content.
I respect and support your work making this videos, because it help us as a pilot’s improving and learning every day. As a pilots and as a persons. Keep going. Great job!! Full support from Colombia 🇨🇴
As the saying goes, “You will never meet a hater doing better than you! “
Keep your head high because you are the reason I did my PPL and I’m about to go solo.. Much love brother from the down under 🇦🇺
Sad lol. your channel is the only channel I've ever really cared to watch. I started watching them as a pre-solo student in 2020. I'm now 1040 hours in, teaching others how to fly and from time to time I still watch them. Awesome.
That’s amazing man. Thank you so much for sticking around and great job on your progress!
Mr Lewdix - you are definitely one of the / if not BEST aviation RUclips channel out there. I think it’s your good old British humour , makes it so easy to watch your informative content 👌
Thank you so much!
I would like to said the FAA is correct. Your videos are inspiring. About 25 years ago I started my training for a pilot's license. I stopped due to work, marriage and a new family. Your videos has re-ignite a passion to learn and start flying again. I appreciate all of your hard work in making these videos. Keep up the excellent work!
Keep up the great work and love ur videos man
You're a class act Lew! I love and watch all of your videos. You keep me very inspired and excited on my student pilot journey. 22 hrs in🙌🏿🙌🏿✈✈🛫💪🏿💯
I can’t believe you would make fun of us naked couch cheeto eaters. 😂 Keep rockin LD. 😎
Love ya lew! Ur videos inspire me! Wtg on the big win with the FAA!
Congratulations! Reaching the level of success that pisses others off is a great achievement. Keep it coming!
Lew, all I can say is that your videos have really helped me during my flying training so thank you so much for your efforts - they are much appreciated.
I'm so grateful that you are out there doing what you do. I began my flight journey last July and quickly found your channel. I have gotten some really helpful info from your videos that has helped me improve my flying. But I also come to your channel when my brain is full from studying or when I've had a discouraging flight lesson because what you post is uplifting. It's funny. It's fun. Thanks for doing what you do. I'll keep on watching and hope to maybe fly with you someday.
This is awesome news, keep up the great work! I love watching your videos!
Super happy for you! Keep it up! :)
Love the podcast, mate! You’ve inspired tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people to go into flight training and that includes myself, keep it up Lew!
Capt! So sorry you had to go thru all that. Keep up the good spirit. You inspire us a lot! I keep learning tons of things thru you! Your knowledge, good vibe and charm is incomparable. By far the best aviation RUclips channel! Cheers mate! 😜🤟🏻🛫
Well said Lew. Always has to be 1 of those people trying to spoil it all for the rest of us. We all enjoy and watch what you do. Please don't stop, don't change a thing. Godspeed mate!
Hi there Lewdix, I just wanted to confirm that yes your videos are giving people the motivation to learn to fly, I was the french 45 years old man that you conviced 2 years ago to pass the door of an aeroclub, and now I am preparing my 150 NM navigation and will pass my PPL checkride in a month if the weather allows it ! So yes, you can be proud of yourself for giving the people this motivation ! Go on and don't let the troll destroy your cheerfulness !
Inspiring and entertaining! Truer words could not be said! Keep up with your awesome content!
Obrigado, Gly!
I have my checkride next week! Thanks for everything!
Loving this podcast version of the channel. I listened when I was out on my morning run in the rain in England.
Just wondering if you’re doing any meet and greets at Oshkosh this year. After 25 years of wanting to visit I’m finally going this year 🎉
I’ve been watching your videos since I started my journey into aviation in January. I have my check ride for my ppl next week and you have helped me remember the joy of flying even when flights get stressful or overwhelming. You create great content and keep doing what you’re doing man.
This is my favorite aviation channel and one of my favorite channels on youtube. I am still working on my PPL and watching your videos regarding landings has help a lot so far. My CFI and I are both big fans and have discussed your content during flights. Doing my training in Tampa and flying to the same airports you tend to fly around has me listening for your coms and hoping to run into at an airport some time. Would love to fly with you at some point if that could ever happen.
Thanks for the heads up G. I had a feeling that this would be the case getting into it, but it’s cool to hear your story about it.
Great feedback from the FAA! That’s awesome stuff! Very nice Lewdix!
Keep it up I love the content 😎👍 very entertaining. Hope to hour build in KISM at some point .
I find your videos entertaining and inspirational. Thank you for the work you do! Fly safe!
Thanks man!
What I'm most sorry for is the complete waste of time you had to go through, time nobody will ever be able to give back to you. But I'm happy that things got solved and the reply you got from the FAA/FSDO was just perfect. Thanks for your excellent work, keep it up!
Great video, glad to be a new subscriber!
Sweet! Welcome to the channel!
Brother I just passed my multi engine add on and I can tell you that days were it got hard and i started loosing interest in aviation, your videos rekindle the spark to keep going! Thanks and keep doing what you do!!
I messaged you on Instagram about my bad experience with flight training and you gave me great advice. I have always loved watching your videos and more than once you have kept me positive about my training through your videos. Keep up the great videos man! You are appreciated.
Ah thank you so much mate!
Keep up the great work!
New to the channel in the past few weeks and absolutely hooked - love that this complaint backfired spectacularly and instead got you a phenomenal boost 🎉 legend!
Thanks for joining us!
Your channel was one of the motivators to get my PPL, so keep it up!
Certainly will. Thank you!
Your videos ARE inspiring and educational! - You're one of two 'tubers that got me rattled up to go take lessons!
Fantastic!
I have to say that! you are one of the BEST instructors I've ever seen, the iconic line "Welcome To The Sky" it's makes me and friends of mine a BIG smile, and much appreciate the opportunity to operate as a pilot and share the Sky, keep doing those videos. (I'm not from the USA, I'm living in the other half of the planet your videos are everywhere. thanks a lot for doing that for us {the pilots' community}).
Kudos. You have one of the best aviation channels. Your content is exceptional and you really do inspire folks to try aviation. I agree, there’s always going to be naysayers who don’t know what they’re talking about. Having a FSDO FAA guy giving you a thumbs up for your channel. . . Huge win.
Thank you so much. I'm just a normal guy, being myself trying to do my best for our community. Having your support means so much man!
I wish I could click like more than once! While I've deferring my training until I feel financially ready to undertake and complete training, I watch your videos and keep my interest alive!
Can you please come out to Vegas for about 8-12 months and let me know so I can start training with you?
You are a true inspiration!, to people all over the world! I'm currently working towards becoming an instructor myself, and you have without a doubt been a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for all the hours of entertaining inspiration, and keep being yourself!
That's so cool to hear! Thank you!
Well I can agree with the FAA compliment you got. Cause after I stumbled onto your channel and watching the content I was hooked and I went to my local flight school and started lessons. Keep up the good work!
That’s amazing!
Love your content dude. So glad the faa saw the complaint for what it was, i.e. a complete waste of time. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next one. 👍👍
I got my PPL almost 2 years ago and have almost 300 hours, but I love your videos and watch every single one. Even though they are for entertainment purposes only, I still learn from them. Keep up the good work! Cheers, June
After watching this video I had to subscribe to your channel! I just obtained my Private Pilot cert and I can tell how much passion you have. Looking forward to watching more of your content!
Thank you! 🙌🏻
You’re the Man lewdix! Keep ‘em
Coming you’re doing great things
Thanks man!
Dude, your videos are amazing! For the FAA to say that and give their blessing on your content is great. I love watching what you do and personally it has reignited my passion for wanting to get back into the sky after not doing so for nearly 20 years! Keep up the great work Lewis.
Thank you for your support!
You’re putting out great, safe content and you’re a motivator. Keep it up!!
Thanks Buck!
Lew, Your work is truly appreciated. Your content was an encouragement while working towards earning my PPL.
By demonstrating your professionalism in the airplane (either in the PA28, skyboat and ATR) and sharing some of what you consider not so great landings continues to inspire me to be a safer and better pilot.
Thank you for work you put in to creating outstanding content!
Thank you so much man. I love inspiring and sharing my flights/stories. I’m glad it’s appreciated.
You were definitely partly responsible for me starting my PPL! Currently in progress out of KPWK. Keep it up!
Ah that’s amazing to hear!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the FAA.... I am following you for a while, and for me your videos and content are one of the best in the aviation industry...Keep going🙂
Thank you so much!
Studying for my written..you definitely keep me inspired to fly and the joy of it. Safe flight Lew!
Brilliant! Thanks mate!
Keep up the great work Lewdix, love your style.
Thanks!
Passed my PPL Checkride a few weeks ago, doing instrument now, your videos have helped me a lot along the way ❤
Amazing to hear! Glad I could help!
Inspiring and entertaining is an understatement. As someone who is 51 and working to complete my PPL, you were definitely instrumental in me moving forward to realize this dream. Thank you for all you do!
That's really special for me to know. Thank you so much!
I started watching during early COVID, decided to take lessons and got my cert a year later. So thank you for the inspiration and keep it up! Very entertaining.
Thank you!
It’s good to review videos like this. Appreciate everything you do.
Thanks man!
Glad you continue to promote the positives and work around the negatives. Another entertaining video - have found the back catalogue fun and useful as I return to flying back in the UK. Many Thanks
Cheers mate!
Your videos def helped me during my journey to PPL. Literally in "getting me off my couch". While not always applicable to me (flying in Switzerland/Europe), it's interesting to see the differences. In my very limited experiences with the authorities, I also got the feeling they are very interested in getting more people flying (but of course doing it correctly) so I sometimes don't it when I see other Creators having a very negative view on FAA or even ATC...
Great to hear some appreciation for your work, Lewis! Especially from the FAA
Definitely a confidence boost! Thanks!
Congratulations on the affirmation from the FAA inspector about the great work that you're completing for the community! Unfortunately, the individual that reported this is most likely getting gratification from any outcome. Thank you for your content and keep up the great work!
Videos like yours got me into aviation. The fancy edited pretty videos got my wife to let me get into aviation. Also got my Flying Eyes using the Lewdix code. You do a great job, you're entertaining and real, not like watching a documentary. And my instructor is definitely the older guy, complete with the disappointed grandfather "no need to say anything because there's obviously no hope" sigh.
Love your channel man! I’ve been feeling down about flying lately, and your videos have lifted my spirits. Entertaining and inspiring is exactly right! Ignore the haters. Keep making great content 👏
Thank you so much! It's always nice to hear that my videos are appreciated. Means a lot!
Your videos are helping me with my flight training Lew, thank you.
Sweet!
As someone who has flown in my part time for 13 years and definitely older... You are a model of how to teach as I am slowly learning to be a CFI and a better AGI IGI... I have messed around with cameras on the plane making something people will watch start to finish is hard thanks for your content... Yours and a few others keep me amused in between work calls as well as helping me catch some nuggets of knowledge
I’ve been watching you on and off since my first flight…. Thank you for all that you do.
Thanks!
Phew, thought it was the one where I threatened to assault an alligator.
I still laugh about that to this day 😂
😂
The worst part about a comment like that was that having to respond to it took you away from making another awesome entertaining and informational video! Keep up the great work, your videos have helped me numerous times during my training and comities to help with instrument as well. Thanks for all that you do!!
keep doing what you are doing dude! You give an awesome exposure of the world that we get to see as pilots 🤙🏼
haha you're right! Thanks.
Got my licence last year. It's fun and i learn a lot of stuffs. Thx. (Flying around LFST) ;)
Well done, Mr LewDix! You be true to You, and enjoy the ride! Blue skies!
Thanks man!
Hey, Whatever people say about you, you will always my hero, inspiration and my idol. I started my flight training after seeing ur content and during my flight training I always watched your videos before flight it kinda help me to understand what I can expect during my flight. I was able to achieve my solo and completed my vfr flt trng with help and knowledge of my instructor and you. Thank you very much for all your videos and also i want to mention mzero that is also part of my flt training..
That's amazing. Thank you so much for sharing that. Messages like this are why I continue to try and make the most genuine and helpful aviation content I can. Thank you!
As a random person on the Internet, I love your work and I appreciate the CFIs out there keeping aviation alive every day. I hope you emphasize the outcome of the complaint by making a formation flight video. Keep the air in your hair dude!
Hahaha great idea! Thanks!
You got me up of the sofa mate, i start flight school in july! ( after loads of procrastination mind haha)
That’s brilliant!
Inspiring and Entertaining!! Could not have said it better! Description of most HATERS (from Danny the Aviator post a few days ago.)
H: Having
A: Anger
T: Towards
E: Everyone
R: Reaching
S: Success
Keep up the good work and amazing content. ✈️💫
Some people can't appreciate how difficult it is to be funny and entertaining while also demonstrating exceptional skill. It takes natural talent in both, which some don't have. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
So, the FAA guy has subscribed! Keep up the good work!
Haha whether that’s because he enjoys it or is keeping an eye on me we’ll never know
Lewby Dewby, you're the best. Thanks for your videos!
I'm a student pilot and really appreciate the hard work you put into delivering your excellent content. Keep 'em coming!!
Thanks man!
As a pilot and beginner content creator on instagram. I appreciate the content you put out and what you do as a CFI. What the FAA said about you, is true.
Yours and others like your channel were what got me off the couch after 20y of not flying, did my Rusty Pilot course and got back in the air. Now I fly a twin Seneca. Thanks you.
Seneca's are great to fly. Heavy, but great!
Lew, great video as usual. Current and proficient good point I think lots of pilots need to get proficient not just current.
