So interesting thing about this certificate. When you get your private pilot you can immediately go out and exercise it, by just going for a flight. When you get your instrument rating, you can immediately go out and exercise it by filing and flying an IFR flight plan. When you get your commercial certificate, you can't. You have to convince someone to pay you to fly an airplane for which you do not have operational control. In other words, you can't immediately exercise it. It's just a milestone.
Memorizing for the test and quickly forgotten. Which, tbh, is fine. I can pull out the flow chart when I'm deciding. It's not like I need it as a flow while I'm in the air.
@@1dullgeek that was my rant and rationale as well- limited brain cells, I can't remember things like ATOMATOFLAMES, and they aren't something I need to have on the iceberg.
Thanks, Dave! Now I have to decide if I'm going to go for the hardest rating: CFI. I kinda want to but I don't know if I want to enough to overcome how difficult it is.
Congrats. I’m next to DYB. Just down the road from RBW. There’s a good buffet style BBQ place called Dukes 4 min away from RBW if you’re into mustard based BBQ. I’ve been doing purchase pro/cons on Mooney M20C/E, Piper 180 and Piper 235s. If you ever land at DYB on a Saturday it would be cool to take a ride in a 235 to see how it performs if you’re up to it. I’ve flown a Cherokee 140, Warrior,Arrow 180, Cessna 172 and Diamond 20/40 so far.
Sounds fun! Here's a video showing the performance I get: ruclips.net/video/aWCMi69Io7o/видео.htmlsi=a4UFrjAUXEXO-YuS And here's one where I talk about the diffs between the 235 and my 140 that I owned before the 235. ruclips.net/video/nv_Zw270RSs/видео.htmlsi=aEUCtUOqBGqA0CVc
Congratulations brother on your commercial pilot rating! That’s awesome. I was looking at your list of maneuvers at the end of the video, and there’s a couple that I’ve never heard of. Interesting for sure. Congratulations again!
Thanks, Russ! Probably Chandelles and Eights on Pylons. Here's some links on what they are: Chandelles: ruclips.net/video/Gb5tD9tE-vY/видео.htmlsi=p3DbsTjs6C_rGe1z Eights on Pylons: ruclips.net/video/uFVUHRQ8TAM/видео.htmlsi=Cn7zUIVWSuRQ-Tt8 Summary: A Chandelle is a maximum performance maneuver. Imagine that you find yourself in a situation where you need to climb and turn 180 at the same time. The classic example is you've found yourself in a box canyan and you need to get out of it. A chandelle is what you'd want to do. Eights on Pylons are kinda like turns about a point but a little bit more specific. You aren't just correcting wind angle, you're trying to imagine that your wing is tethered to that point - like it's on a chain to your wing. So that you stay the exact same distance from it at all times. The classic example is you're flying someone who wants to do aerial photography and needs the subject perfectly in a given position.
A few comments: (a) great thumbnail; (b) I noticed the “yet” in the text narration at the beginning and I think the implication is exciting for you; (c) I enjoyed the video, and enjoyed your thoughts about your checkride and the little things you learned during the process. Thanks!
Congratulations on the commercial ticket man🎉. That is exciting, I’m working on my instrument right now and am hoping to get my commercial afterwards. That’s as far as I plan on going.
Thanks. Good luck on the instrument. I love having my instrument rating. I got the commercial basically just to keep learning. I'm not sure what's next for me. Multi-engine, tailwheel: probably. CFI: maybe.
I thought about multi but for the cost to own one and there’s no real benefit for me to have one . My kids are all grown and it’s just my wife and I mostly, maybe a Cherokee 6 or a Saratoga would suit me just fine. But I hear ya, you’re not improving unless you’re learning.
@@joshsaviationadventures The big reason for a multi-engine rating would be to be able to get a job flying. Tailwheel would be to improve my stick & rudder skills.
Thanks, sir. For a good little bit there I was exactly 2 years behind you. My first two checkrides were almost exactly 2 years after you did the same checkride - at least as reported by your videos. I think I'm definitely off schedule now. I still have a desire to fly myself out to the PNW and have you give me a BFR where you find my weakest areas so that I can improve them. Not sure when that's going to happen though.
Is there any more gratifying flight than the one you take home after passing a checkride? Maybe your first solo or first cross country, but this is definitely in the top 3. Congrats again!

7:15 lol "on guard" during your narration.
9:00 as I said I love(d) your flowchart. it fits the mantra of "there is no such thing as overprepared"

@@flysport_tedder lol. Listen to one of my rants. ATOMATOFLAMES plays a prominent role.
Congratulations! Working on mine now.
Thank you & good luck!
Congratulations Mark! Your progression through IFR and Commercial is inspirational.
Thanks, Dave!

@@1dullgeek Do you have a desire to teach?
@@piperdakotaflyr Yes. But I don't know if I want to go through the difficulty of the training to do so.

Congrats 1DG!! Your insight and perspective is always interesting and inspiring. What's next??
Thanks!
Not sure what's next. Probably multi engine and tail wheel. Also grinding on whether or not to be a CFI.

Congrats my friend. So glad for you! Hope you get to enjoy this certificate too. Thanks for the video. It was great to hear your breakdown.
Thanks, Justin! I'm not sure what's next, but I hope that it includes someone else paying for the flying.
Good job! Congrats!
Thank you!
Congratulations!! Enjoyed the video!
Thanks, Michael!
congratulations!!! I hope to join the ranks of Commercial pilots one day, for now I'm working on the PPL :).
Thank you! Good luck on your private!
@@1dullgeek thank you! im im the landing pre solo phase haha.
@@letsberealq oh man you're in the maximum achievement phase! Everything is a new accomplishment. That was fun! Enjoy it!
Congratulations! That’s a great accomplishment!
Thanks BP!

Congrats on the commercial.
Thank you! We should catch up and try to go flying together.
@@1dullgeek For sure. Id love to see your new ride.
@justaboutaviation9343 Yeah man! She needs the paint touched up. But she's pretty functional. And VUJ is pretty close to HBI.
