They all look chill once they're on the cockpit that's why their students learn immediately to the lesson given. (I'm a student pilot too from Philippines)
As a fellow student pilot, I think you did great! Just one thing, it looks like you created a lot of pilot induced turbulence by constantly moving the yoke back and fourth like that, just let the plane fly itself and it’ll be easier.
That’s exactly the advice my instructor gives me....he always says stop jerking the yoke so much and relax and let the plane fly and stop flighting it. Nice video
TheRoyalCastle The plane can fly just fine it is the pilots job to gently nudge it to the direction he wants to go at the airspeed and power settings within the envelope.
I like how everybody here in the comments apparently know better how to do it. Sure it wasn’t perfect but that’s why you learn and take an instructor with you. All of it was safe and perfectly acceptable for a student. From an ATPL student, well done 😉
A very good and calm flight instructor. I used to have an old school flight instructor who used to fly DC-3s and other tailwheel airplanes. He used to pressure me on landing exactly on the runway centerline.
It helps me as a student pilot to watch other student pilots. It goes to show how much time and effort new pilots (like myself) spend on trying to learn and retain a lot of new information in a time and how we’re constantly being nervous and meticulous and eager all at the same time. I think flying is overwhelming for these reasons for a lot of new pilots but like anything else, with time, it all becomes easier to manage. It’s all a mental game. Sidenote: I flew to Danbury once. Very interesting airport with all of the extremely close terrain factors. And watch out for Hotspot #4... that displaced hold short line gets a lot of pilots every year.
Great video! You and your instructor both look like great guys and I noticed how well both your communication with ATC and your landings were! I’m doing my first landing tomorrow!
Great video. As a retired Grade 1 Instructor, it is so good good to see someone pursuing what will hopefully become their career. I used to be able to dance those aircraft down the strip on any one wheel.
Oh that there-ah sight pick-char... haven't flown in 5 years and FS2020 has reminded me. Great vid thanks! I love seeing people throwing Cessnas around the runway, reminds me of me.
Excellent Again...I really enjoyed the talk through the Pattern...A Great Refresher for me...I liked your little airplane demo...so Ocala...LOL....Willis Sutherland
U did a great job there,my instructor told me the same thing not to play with controls so much just watch my speed and height during approach and once u cross the threshold just give it a bit back pressure and hold it it will just touch down smoothly👍
I am used to flying the 172N, so that advancing mixture during the startup caught me off-guard! In the "N" model, you set the mixture to full rich before and leave it that way for the startup. I had to look up the 172R POH, only to find that the startup was exactly as it sold be! good job on your flying and landings btw, I can see you made good progress.
Excellent work I had the bounce and late flare issue and my instructor wise old owl he was got me to do 2 approaches and percieve my position 1 ft of the ground.On the third approach smooth as no bounce of the black stuff.
This is cool! Im just a line guy lol but every day i see students with instructors and sometimes here students complain about how the instructor doesn’t boost morale, in this occasion I can say you got an amazing instructor with you
Haven't started lessons yet but these vids have me pumped! Always loved planes but never learned to fly even when I was in the AF. Go figure!! Want to begin next year. Maybe move to Alaska and become a bush pilot, HA!! Great state!! Spent 2 years there when I was in the AF.If you haven't been, put it on your bucket list. You won't regret it!! Oh yea, not this time of year!! Even Anchorage, where I was stationed, has received record amounts of snow!! Ya'll fly safe and God bless!!
Same, just started ground school and going to complete that, along with the written test before i begin flight training. So so very eager to get in the plane, but i know i jeed to take this one step at a time
You did a good job keeping it straight putting it down.. You Forgot to check for suction and to pull carb heat on your run up though.. Both pretty important when flying and should be on that check list.. DONT rush through your checklists... They may save your life..
I learned to fly at KDXR! Great airport to practice landings at. Tough approach over the hills. I have since moved to Florida and flying in over flat land is just a little easier lol
I was good with landings when I started since I played a lot of flight sim as a kid, but when I was introduced to the patter I got confused, eventually you get it though.
I got 3 out of 7 "awesome" landings today on my 3rd lesson today, my best definitely can't like your last one here! Fun stuff for you! I'm having trouble with my audio recording though... It worked today until I started the plane!
that was great! im an avid flight simmer and starting lessons soon, personally i idle my thrust at around 10 feet and reduce my vspeed to like 100 and try to keep it there
I am also 16 (turning 17 on Wednesday). Student pilot and going to my solo in about 2 weeks here in Norway! :) Great video, fly safe! See you in the cockpit one day. ;)
Hey great video! I am at this same point in my flight training and I have been having some hard landings. It’s hard getting that soft touch you had at the last landing. Keep it up and thanks for the video. I think this will help me with my next lesson.
Man amazing work on the last landing! I have the same exact issues with my landings. I tend to not flare as much. Watching these videos help me reflect on my own landings.
@@LuisDiaz-rp1ei Insane to think I commented 2 years ago. Unfortunately due to covid, I had to stop, but I will be going back full time in August. Looking forward to it. How's your training been? Did you finish your PPL?
Well done! On the topic of adjusting the heading bug right after liftoff, I would recommend not doing that. It's best to keep your hand on the throttle during the climbout just in case you have to abort. Otherwise, you did some really great flying! Keep it up!
Has it improved? I found I never had issues with radio calls. I stumble a little with complex taxi instructions but overall you shouldn’t be intimidated by it.
"Five years ago" come on, man! Give us an update, where you at now?! I'm in this point of my journey where my pattern is more trash than a baby's diaper. But this video helped me a bit!
Leveling off too late/low landing w too much energy. Level off a little earlier and burn off that extra energy to hear the horn sooner then flare out right before you touch.
Ask your instructor about this, but on takeoff stepping on the ball is a good way to keep the aircraft from drifting off runway centerline as you have full power in with all that torque
Hug Gaming A better idea is watching where you're going!!!!!! On takeoff, the only instrument you should be... glancing at, is the airspeed indicator! Fly the aircraft, not the instrument panel! (and get a better instructor).
is exact that aeroplane in that configuration what we see on the video has any AUTOPILOT option or function or only after modification to G1000? Great regards.
I dont fly Cessnas, but it appeared to me that the speed was a little high on approach which cause the slight bounces. Also, remember to pull back on power when you made the runway and level off during flare. Typically, for the softest touch down, you'll hear the stall horn right as you are touching down. I'm a low time pilot, but that's my understanding.
Just started the video.. it drives me crazy to see the yoke just flopping around like that in the taxi, run up, and the Begining of the takeoff roll! You should hold it back to provide more prop clearance from sand erosion. Also to get in the habit of positioning it for the proper wind correction while taxing, but on calm days, it’s really to prevent wear on the prop tips.
your instructor looks so chill and laid back, seems like a cool guy!
They all look chill once they're on the cockpit that's why their students learn immediately to the lesson given. (I'm a student pilot too from Philippines)
agree
@CyberVeg not all
I have lots of hours and lots of ratings but those first few hours of learning to land with your instructor were the most fun and rewarding.
Just did 8 landings today! It was amazing!
As a fellow student pilot, I think you did great! Just one thing, it looks like you created a lot of pilot induced turbulence by constantly moving the yoke back and fourth like that, just let the plane fly itself and it’ll be easier.
ExtremeDude he meant when he was up in the air not when landing
agreed, just relax and feel the plane that's it.
That’s exactly the advice my instructor gives me....he always says stop jerking the yoke so much and relax and let the plane fly and stop flighting it. Nice video
My instructor told me the same thing 😂
TheRoyalCastle The plane can fly just fine it is the pilots job to gently nudge it to the direction he wants to go at the airspeed and power settings within the envelope.
Such a fantastic instructor you have. He’s going to make you a superb pilot.
The gray hair is always a good sign
I like how everybody here in the comments apparently know better how to do it. Sure it wasn’t perfect but that’s why you learn and take an instructor with you. All of it was safe and perfectly acceptable for a student.
From an ATPL student, well done 😉

Lol.. kid just wants to get the hell off the ground...
Outstanding Young Buck...
I always loved touch & go's.
Final was the most enjoyable time of flight for me. Thank You for sharing.
Great instructor! You did great 👍🏻
Loved the instructure and the patience by him
Brings back good old memories from when I were in flight school.
Great video. As a retired Grade 1 Instructor, it is so good good to see someone pursuing what will hopefully become their career. I used to be able to dance those aircraft down the strip on any one wheel.
Want to be an Airline pilot! Thanks for watching!
Good job! I noticed you held the yoke nice and steady as you made the transition on the landing. It’s the best way to land a 172! Nice work!
Oh that there-ah sight pick-char... haven't flown in 5 years and FS2020 has reminded me. Great vid thanks! I love seeing people throwing Cessnas around the runway, reminds me of me.
Nice job! I wouldn’t play with the heading indicator on takeoff. Fly the plane in that crucial time. Made me nervous.
That made me nervous as well. I was getting the heading bug on 260 (Runway heading). Good to debrief though!
Also the heading bug cant be accurately set unless you're straight and level. Agreed.
Excellent Again...I really enjoyed the talk through the Pattern...A Great Refresher for me...I liked your little airplane demo...so Ocala...LOL....Willis Sutherland
spent 1 hour and 30 minutes doing exactly that today ;) ... you´re doing a good job
Thanks!
How much are you paying per hour?
That was great man, you improved the landings every time. Respect
Great flying and Awesome teacher.💪

Great instructor, his landings got better with each one. Great flare on final, keep it up bro!
Another good video Ethan - I'm only a sim training, but it made me feel good to see some of the same things you did I have done...

Didn’t realize this was Danbury airport. I pass by there very often on the way to the mall. Where did you find a flight instructor?
Loved that last landing.
Awesome!!! this is danbury
as a new pilot getting ready for my first landing this coming weekend this took some of the anxiety out of it all.
This is cool! Im just a line guy lol but every day i see students with instructors and sometimes here students complain about how the instructor doesn’t boost morale, in this occasion I can say you got an amazing instructor with you
Nice job! I’m getting back into flying after 20 plus years in GA and this is encouraging.
Bravo !!!!, I am 53 years old, I am a student pilot. I am currently practicing touch and go's and soon I will take my solo flight.
@@marcochavez11 keep on pressing on! It’s a wonderful thing this flying…
@@tinothepilot yes sir, l agree with you.
instructorś like him can teach you to become calm and confident. I have had an instructor like him. Though him I finally got my licence.
Very kind instructor
That's was great! Thanks for the video....
Dang good work! I soloed a couple of months ago at 12 hours and am at about 40 hours now in check ride prep, looking forward to my PPL

Nicely done! Thanks for the video. :)
You need to adjust the compass before take off and keep your hand on the throttle during take off . Have fun !
I have had my private for about a year now and im 18, I can say that you did great!!!
You did a good job keeping it straight putting it down.. You Forgot to check for suction and to pull carb heat on your run up though.. Both pretty important when flying and should be on that check list.. DONT rush through your checklists... They may save your life..

Thomas, what part of Florida? I start my training tomorrow.
Great job 👏🏻 😊good job
THAT'S a good instructor! Greetings from a german flight instructor ;)
Has my first smooth butter landing today with a 172S... feeling very accomplished! :)
He reminds me of my cfi. Super chill and hands off. Nice job by the way
Great training.
Third times the charm. This will be great to see when your a captain
I was good with landings when I started since I played a lot of flight sim as a kid, but when I was introduced to the patter I got confused, eventually you get it though.
Heh, this is so great, I've been there - love it
Such a cool instructor
This instructor is angel hahaha. Too high both approach speed and approach alt’. But good job. You can.
You can tell he’s seasoned and teaches for the love.... unlike some of my instructors 😫

Gun fun in the air given the amount of turbelance 👍
Great instructor!
Congrat's. Thank’s.
Ha ha, really enjoyed this. Kid's learning. Not bad reflexes plus knowledge. Takes time.
Student looks very smart with radio. Good for him. Good Job boy...
Man!!! Good job! Can't wait til I'm in your position and have a smooth instructor like this.
nice video! I like your instructor!
Great instructor 👍
Bravissimi ! Saluti dall'Italia
Man amazing work on the last landing! I have the same exact issues with my landings. I tend to not flare as much. Watching these videos help me reflect on my own landings.
Did you get your PPL!? Its been 2 years since you commented ha! Currency experiencing the same issue
Currently*^

I love this airplane! The R model is so much better and it makes ground time a lot shorter!
This happen to everyone, nice job!
Took my 1st lesson Thursday. Can't wait for next Thursday! 🤗
I'm currently going through my flight training hopefully by this time next year I'll be a professional pilot :) this is cool to see
Practicing my landings this week, my biggest thing is not keeping on centerline on final and thinking im driving a car lol
He handles a taxiing like a boss !!
I’m still trying to get the hang of landings. Good video tho!
Gets better at each landing!
Good job!

Good job mate
Good job kid you'll be a pro in no time
Thanks man!
This was good.
Am an aviation student still struggling with gravity though... But I believe one time I will make the best pilot
