Flying a little Cessna 150 around the pattern in light rain. I had 13 hours total at the time and 1 solo hour. Doing a few Touch and Gos. Special Thanks to FullStop Avation
Thanks for the beautiful vieo ! Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I sat in a Cessna 150 during a sightseeing flight it was an amazing experience ! I love planes ... :-)
A bunch of things needing attention - that's also why I love old HF Ham Radio especially using CW or morse code.. Tuning radios and even building them has a similar thrill..
That’s a beautiful little airport to fly out of. Great job rotating through views to keep it interesting the whole way through. Your little sayings are great!
Yeah, that's what I picked up on. I thought well maybe a 150 doesn't have shoulder belt, but I saw the one for the right hand seat and later "shelf or trough" right over door for the pilot.
I'm late coming to this show, but I'm here! I just took the written at Everett-Stewart (Passed). Great airport! I'm flying out of 0M4 with lessons. Really liked the video!
Ok, I just found my new favorite channel. Awesome video and thanks for bringing us along. I’m starting my lessons in a few days and about to finish ground school.
One suggestion. After the engine starts, a check of the oil pressure is always a good idea, and an adjustment of the throttle for 800 RPM per the Cessna 150 Owners Manual before the headset goes on and you get busy with setting up the cockpit is good operating technique. Just a thought. Thank you. Mike Kelly "Old School" CFI and many, many years (58 in fact) of flying 150's.
Nice video Luke. First time watching. Your love of flying shows. Cute little airport and C150. I’m a private pilot. Will enjoy following your growth. Jim in Az
When I was at 6 hours he said he felt completely fine with soloing me, but both he and I wanted to just round it out to 10 hours as I didn't want to fast track anything just because I had some accelerated competency and no interest in just going through everything quickly. Basically, the time that a student would normally be spending learning scanning techniques and how the fundamentals of flight work, I already had that engrained in me. But the physicality of flying, as in knowing what everything feels like and how to respond to that, I had to learn that the same as anyone else ever would. I'm at 38 hours now, and I can say biggest learning curve for me was not relying on the instruments, and simply in flying the plane (I would be completely comfortable never looking outside, but that's not VFR), as well as learning to not focus too much on hitting exact numbers but utilize what feels right. You can feel that you are too fast on approach, you can feel that the plane is ready to fly on takeoff, you can if you flaring correctly.
Damn how different people are. I sure as hell wasn't talking to a camera on my second solo flight, I can tell you that... But then again, I was probably following checklists a bit more :) Great vid.
I talk to cameras for a living so it helped out a bit. Talking through everything verbally is still a big part of flying for me. But I fly completely different from this video now. I was just soloed here and now I’m at 97 hours after a 4 hours flight today
Best most listenable audio and narration around. The radio sounds like an original ARC RT 328. Telecom lineage. Many Cessna owners overuse the horizontal trim. Light drizzle is fun.
Thanks, I've come to realize since this how much you should feel and what you should feel on a landing. Small little bumps are extremely exaggerated in that little 150, so at the time I though I was just breaking the plane with every one inch drop.
I am curious why that plane has a shoulder harnesses ?? Looks like they are provided for the pilot and passenger. I thought the checklist includes seats, seat belts and harness adjusted and securely fastened ?? Why are you not utilizing your soulder harnesses?? sure would be nice if you had it on in the event of loss of power on take off and you had to land straight ahead into rough terrain and bushes!! or perhaps trees!! so your FACE DOESN'T EAT the control panel. Just saying!! if your going to put up videos of flying the plane then do it RIGHT!!! don't miss important items in your checklist if your trying to illustrate a safe example of being PIC .
Like the video.......hope to be in the air again....any vehicle on the ground goes by MPH......airplanes speak the language in KNOTS.....just busting on ya....happy flying
About as easy as it gets to flying an airplane. Anyone can do it if they have the interest. Reach out to your local flight school and ask for a discovery flight.
@@alk672 Seat belt was on. I was unaware of the shoulder harness requirement at the time. Learned about that not long after. Now I love shoulder harnesses. Every plane should have them.
@@JGS007 I do not. It's a flight school plane. Though it'll be hard for me not to look into a 150. So good for so cheap. Not much utility but simple and fun. I also fly a Cherokee 140 and a 180. I prefer the cessnas though.
Hmmm, shoulder restraint should be fastened during takeoff and landing. FAR 91.105 (b) Did you edit out making your crosswind and downwind leg turn calls to traffic?
No acronyms for a downwind check??? Like GUMPS or something like that. You basically have NO downwind check list??? Fun though. Reminds me of my C150 time.
At this time, which was early on in my training, I was doing my checks but was terrible at verbalizing them. I have my ppl now and am a completely different pilot than this year old vid
“We both have around 1500 hours in the simulator” No you don’t. You’ve just played a game for a while. It’s a non-transferable skill. Unless you can log the time, it’s not a simulator.
On the point of 1500 hours, I was more so pointing out that the sim became my brother and I’s bonding activity/hobby for a long time rather than it being any possible show of skill. On the point of it being non- transferable I’m my experience it’s very transferable, not towards a job or rating, but towards breaking down the initial learning barriers. Navigation, systems, best practices, instrument scan, flight planning. These were all things that I was able to do before ever getting in a real left seat. There is a reason private pilots have home sim rigs to help them practice these things, along with instrument pilots practicing approaches and radio work. I’d still recommend that if someone is wanting to learn to fly and doesn’t have a bunch of money, to get a sim setup. It will make you more comfortable in your training and make your CFI’s life a lot easier.

Looks like the guys at Full Stop aviation run a tight ship. Well maintained, clean aircraft. Inspires confidence.
any landing you walk away from is a good landing (didn't die) is a good landing? Im learning in a 150 @Luke’s Landing went flying today.
That’s a beautiful little airport to fly out of. Great job rotating through views to keep it interesting the whole way through. Your little sayings are great!
That warped Rhodes piano effect made me laugh.. I love the Rhodes but that was something new..
You duplicate yourself as an instructor in the plane, that would be hilarious..... great 150👍👍
It's Goose, it's a bit different from the F14 eh!!!
Great video. Shoulder belt buddy!

Thank you for the help, I should probably get around to doing an update video now that I have my license.
@@Lukewillcreate Look forward to seeing it. Best of luck to you on your flying career. Mike Kelly "Old School" CFI
Wonderful! Looks like you are loving it. I've been flying 21 years. I have a PA-32-300 at Linden, NJ KLDJ. I'm still loving it too.
👍🏼👍🏼
Put your Seat belt on!
That was cool❤
Nice video Luke. First time watching. Your love of flying shows. Cute little airport and C150. I’m a private pilot. Will enjoy following your growth. Jim in Az
Beautiful 150! Nice awareness of what you are doing. Very enjoyable!
Thanks Tom, I appreciate it. I plan to do more videos like this in the future.
Nice video. Given all your time in simulators, I'm curious as to how many hours of dual it took before your instructor had you solo?
When I was at 6 hours he said he felt completely fine with soloing me, but both he and I wanted to just round it out to 10 hours as I didn't want to fast track anything just because I had some accelerated competency and no interest in just going through everything quickly.

Nice video, thanks for sharing...good luck on your training.
Thanks Vincent, I appreciate it.
fella Tennessean here. Love your videos. Hope to get my PPL
It appears the pilot side wheel/tire is out of balance as it vibrated once you rotated.
NEVER pull or push an aircraft by the prop!
Such a great video! Please do more 150 content
U should explain your exterior checkpoints
Damn how different people are. I sure as hell wasn't talking to a camera on my second solo flight, I can tell you that... But then again, I was probably following checklists a bit more :) Great vid.

Thanks mate. Hopefully more videos in the future.
Any landing you walk away from is a good landing
You didn't crash or even damage the plane so it wasn't a bad landing.
Thanks, I've come to realize since this how much you should feel and what you should feel on a landing. Small little bumps are extremely exaggerated in that little 150, so at the time I though I was just breaking the plane with every one inch drop.
Crashing a 150 needs a license endorsement . Most people aren't qualified.
@@stanleybest8833 that’s hilarious 😂

With my luck it’d prolly fix my face.
@@lukeslanding2230 Don't get me wrong, I really did enjoy your preflight and walk around. Thank you for posting
Like the video.......hope to be in the air again....any vehicle on the ground goes by MPH......airplanes speak the language in KNOTS.....just busting on ya....happy flying
My airspeed is miles per hour.
@@stanleybest8833 yep. The 150L has its airspeed listed in MPH on the airspeed indicator and the POH
is it easy to fly a Cessna? I'm thinking about starting lessons
About as easy as it gets to flying an airplane. Anyone can do it if they have the interest. Reach out to your local flight school and ask for a discovery flight.
@@lukeslanding2230 Thank you so much:)
Got a water leak in rear windows.
Good eye! You’re right, I haven’t flown this plane for about a year ish, it got that leak fixed. The plane is in overhaul right now.
Brother, you took off without your seat belt...
Without his shoulder harness... his shoulder harness. I wonder if the seatbelt was on.
@@alk672 Seat belt was on. I was unaware of the shoulder harness requirement at the time. Learned about that not long after. Now I love shoulder harnesses. Every plane should have them.
Congratulations on your solos, hope you've had many more and maybe you certificate by now? Good video of procedures too. Checklists are your friends.
Hey there. I got my PPL in October of this year
When maintenance has nothing to do...
Excuse me?
@@Lukewillcreate When maintenance has nothing to do, they ride around and/or stand there. Some jokes don't deliver well in text.
@@JGS007 Oh haha. They're good buddies. It was near end of day
@@Lukewillcreate Yeah I love my mechanics. They are great! Keep the plane in good order and doesn't often cost too much. You own that 150?
@@JGS007 I do not. It's a flight school plane. Though it'll be hard for me not to look into a 150. So good for so cheap. Not much utility but simple and fun. I also fly a Cherokee 140 and a 180. I prefer the cessnas though.
