    Chris, I started my training about the time the first video with Sienna was published. I passed my checkride on Tuesday! Your online ground school and checkride prep helped me a lot (got a 93 on written). Hope Sienna is really close too!
    Thank you

    Have to mouth off here (ie my opinion)
    I finally believe she is nearly ready to solo after watching this video
    She:
    Handled comms very well
    Had confidence in decision making
    Confessed minor mistakes
    You:
    Actually kept your hands completely away from the yoke
    Nitpicking landings, pattern work, etc all done to properly prepare her for solo and upcoming checkride
    My opinion is basically worthless - but hopefully what I want to communicate to you comes across completely
    Best regards,
    David

    Chris, I think you're doing fine with your criticisms and suggestions, as long as she does not feel like you're "scolding" her. I do like one of the comments suggested not saying anything until she's landed, then let HER tell YOU what went good or bad. She's getting really close!!! Thanks for doing each of these videos, it's been fun watching her progress.

  • @kenwarren1720
    @kenwarren1720 Месяц назад +3

    Chris, you're the expert but I have a suggestion. Might be helpful to not teach "move yoke, move rudder" during the landing. I like to separate it and think rudder to point down the runway and ailerons to slide back across the runway. I sometime practice in this way trying to keep plane pointed straight and weave back and forth with the ailerons during a low pass. In this video was the wind from the left? Plane always seemed pointing to the left and sliding right.

    No need to go easy, better skills make better pilots. It's not like driving a car. Small mistakes have the potential to be catastrophic. Stay safe and keep it up! 🛩

  • @jonathonhinson2070
    @jonathonhinson2070 Месяц назад +2

    I had a problem landing left of center line. My instructor suggested I use the tube of the control yoke as my “gun sight”. I started putting the tube on the center line and it makes for more precise landings. For me it works as a good reference point. When I’m in the right seat I do the same thing with the right yoke. Love the videos!

    Thanks Chris! Just started circuits here in Alberta, Canada. This video really helps as another study material. Particularly the camera you have fixed on the tail really helps to judge the rate of descent and centre line as practice. It's awesome to watch Sienna's progress. Thanks to you both for sharing this journey - your content really does help!

  • @lymanhoward4844
    @lymanhoward4844 Месяц назад

    Chris, I’d encourage you to tell her during the flare, “left aileron” to get back over runway centerline, “right rudder” to point nose alignment parallel to runway direction at the same time. It appears from camera viewpoint that Sienna is holding slight crab left all the way down, with increasing drift toward right as the plane slows. I think communicating left bank combined with right rudder, in those terms, would help?
    Aside…When you took controls and climbed out, you drifted far to right on upwind leg. So a challenging wind, no doubt!
    But she is doing great. super attitude!

    Awesome Chris! Sienna is going great! Your videos have helped me alot and I'm only on GeoFS sim on our laptop. It's taken 36 hours to finally get consistent in the landings, 152, 172 & PA-28 Cherokee...The aim is a discovery flight soon in memory of my best pilot mate from NZ who passed away last month.
    Cheers ✨🛩️🌿

    At this stage I like to hear more at the end of landing. If she is too high to close to runway , I say let her work through it then tell her what could have been better. Not every approach is the same even though that is the goal. Sometimes we need to learn how to make adjustment. Thanks for the video. But I agree you were a little hard on her.

    Sometimes that ground effect has the pushing to the right. A slight consistency of a slip can correct that for sure.

  • @budowens6478
    @budowens6478 Месяц назад

    Hey Chris, when I was learning how to fly, my CFI would have me stay couple feet above the runway without touching down, all the way down the runway.
    Looking back, it really taught me to control the airplane.
    Keep up the good work.

    Did not sound like you were being a jerk or in a bad mood. This is just the picky fine-tuning time. She was doing what I did at fast pull up hard at the last moment, which leads to baloning. She corrected that in this video.

      Could she use a point on the plane to know that is the center line? Easy to pick up where that spot is when on the centerline on takeoff or even taxi.

    One quick habit to break is leaving "Homer" off the end of the radio call. Does it matter? Probably not but the Law of Primacy is immutable. I really like that you had her fly down the runway in slow flight to understand how aileron and rudder impact their respective axes. I have a hunch that she is getting that ailerons slide you laterally but has not quite nailed that rudder will hold the nose straight down the runway even if the wing is held low for wind correction. All in all amazing work all around!
