Congratulations my guy ! I watched your first video on starting flight school . Here you are now ! Keep sending it . I’m about a month away from scheduling my ppl checkride , so great insight
Congratulations man proud of you! I’m still on that private pilot license grind so I completely understand how you feel. And it is definitely not an easy task how others make it seem out to be but definitely worth it in the end
Thank you! For me so far taxiing the plane is hard lol way more difficult than the manuevers in the air I’m flying in a C150 since it’s cheap only 125 per hour for rental in that plane
Yeah, def get very unmotivated and question if this aviation thing is even for you when you fail, but that’s when you gotta double down, and push towards your goals!
Its definitely a lot! of work and a lot! to know! Dude you did it! That’s awesome, but what the hell! What did the first guy fail you for? We need to avoid situations here… come on man. What was it?
I failed because I didn’t know the maintenance log book as well as I should (bc normally the school takes care of that for us) So make sure you know your maintenance log book. Then I also didn’t know how to calculate TAS in the plane.
@@irubenguler I have never looked at the logbook in my school’s planes 😂 and for airspeeds, I only know how to find GS from IAS. This is helpful! Thank you! Blue skies!
Wait a minute! Dont be saying there's dpes out here signing "farm boys" off after a few landings! #1 realize there are a ton of crappie young instructors out there but even the crappie ones aren't just signing off private pilots! I grew up flying a 172 off the farm out of a 1200 ft strip. I fired my first two instructors because they were so scared of spinning a 150 they wouldn't even cover stalls properly. Both were young city boys that had ni business teaching but were just building hrs to get to the airlines. #2 i was more competent at handling the airplane than they were because i was good at short field takeoff and landings. Granted i didn't know much about radio procedures or navigation with vors. #3 you never explained why you failed the first time! Waiting for 3 months is not a reason. You should have known up front waiting was par for the course. Tons of videos online about having to wait up to 6 months for a dpe so that was pitiful planning onvyour part. The instructor is the most crucial part of obtaining a private pilots certificate. 80% of all the instructors turned out in the past 10byears are really not qualified to be teaching anyone anything but thats one of many failures with the FAA. One of the biggest crimes in aviation is the fact that these large flight schools keep dpes on the payroll and with the shortage of them in the first place creates a disadvantage for the pilots doing the hard way at a smaller school because they dont have rich parents!
My point was that not all private pilots are the same, some train in much more concentrated circumstances rather than let’s say someone in a farm or country side. Clearly this isn’t pertaining to you so just disregard it.
Congrats on the checkride, Ruben! Excited to follow your weekly updates through instrument training-keep soaring!

@LouiethePilot-2Learn bro me too, lol just make sure you’re able to prove the plane is airworthy
Im at a 61 with in school DPE
Nice
@@irubengulerStill nervous for my checkride tho, great video by the way!
@@porta796 thank you so much! You’ll do great. Just study hard!
what is an in-house dpe?
When the school has its own personal DPE
@ yh what does dpe actually stands for?
@9LimaAlpha7 designated pilot examiner
These ppl are selected by the FAA
Congratulations but stopped watching the second time you blamed someone else for your initial failure.
