In the beginning, I was scared of heights and had a death grip on the yoke, light on the controls for fear of falling out of the sky, and my instructor literally yelled at me and quit teaching me. I then found another instructor that had told me to treat the plane like riding a horse, by showing it who's boss, and showed me that I really have to try hard to get a 172 to fall out of the sky because they are so forgiving. It changed my life and I was able to complete my training and received my PPL. The right instructor (Jason you are on the top of the list) can make all the difference in the world.
Thanks for the insight and positive feedback, Michael!
Like your story. It really takes a calm, patient, and know-how instructor to lead you through the journey. I had similar experience. I was literally told to be terrible and unqualified by the instructor who yanked the control while I was flying. My confidence was rebuilt until I met my last instructor Yvan. I owe my PPL to him who guided me through in such a smart, relaxed, and fun way.
"Like riding a horse, by showing it who's boss".
Yikes.
Stay away from my horse.
I just soloed for the first time today! That feeling was awesome and pulled off one of my best landings yet in the DA40. thanks for this series!
Congratulations! 😀👍
Congrats (:
Thank u !!
That is fantastic! Congratulations!
I love how calm you are. I’m one of those guys with a death grip and sweat palms 😂
Hey Evan! You'll get more comfortable with practice! If you need any help or encouragement with this, please feel free to reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com. Fly safe!
Thanks I watched this before my PPL slow flight and stall lesson
One thing I'm glad I learned early-on is that the airplane will "seek the airspeed you trimmed for". So, as long as I'm not putting tons of back-pressure on the yoke/stick and I've configured correctly I won't stall in slow flight. Power input is my primary pitch and attitude control. Because of that concept, and the "hands free relaxed flying" I was able to fly +2Kts on my Commercial and Commercial/IFR multi-engine check rides. Trim is the best thing ever.
These videos were very, VERY helpful in preparing for those tests.
Thanks for watching, Mike! Glad our videos have helped!
Thank you, best wishes from the uk
@5:38 = death grip experience. When I was in Air Force pilot training, I had such an aggressive death grip on the T-37 stick during one final approach, my pinky was inadvertently depressing the nose wheel steering button (located on the stick). Unfortunately, I also needed lots of left rudder to correct for cross winds during that same landing. This meant, as soon as my main gear hit the pavement, the nose wheel swung hard to the left during the highest speed part of the touchdown sequence. Made for quite an adventure during the rest of the landing rollout. 😛
Slow flight clean, dirty, power off stall combined-Next on my list.
Thanks for watching, Tim! Good luck with your training.
Just watching this as I’m getting ready to go fly, hopefully i’ll get to practice this. Thank you
Let us know how it went, David! Fly safe.
Oh man... definitely guilty of the death grip. 😔 BUT, like you said, we're always learning! 😊
For sure! Thanks for watching, Christopher!
Thank you for all magnificent series that will help me in my first cpl flights! Keep it up !
Most definitely been a victim of the hulk death grip with sweaty palms. Hahaha eventually I got comfortable and sweat no more!!
Thanks for watching! Glad you got more comfortable with practice.
Your fundimentals series is excellent!
Thanks for watching!
This is a wonderful series! Thanks!
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Hey Jason! I am digging your podcast as well as my flight training: I'm about 30 hours in and very close to soloing! Glad to finally match a face to the voice! Thank you for your knowledge!
You are very welcome my friend, let me know how your solo goes.
@@MzeroAFlightTraining Thank you, I will! Just got back from training; I flew in the rain AND did a forward slip for the first time today! 31 hours in
Great series so far, I look forward to more!!! I hope you and your team will be at Oshkosh!!!
We hope to attend this year.
At 8 hours into PPL and I still have a death grip so far. Hoping to one day learn to use light touch instead.
Hey Anthony!
That is totally normal! Not gripping the controls so hard comes with practice and confidence. Keep practicing!!
Thanks Jason. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Dan!
Another good one Jason and familiar with the death grip :-)
Thanks for watching, Mike!
Started with a death grip, got over it quickly. I had a really chill instructor who I was flying pattern practice with - he told me to pull power to idle abeam the numbers to simulate engine failure, power-off 180. Said to "trim it up and fly hands free," I thought he was crazy but he had a dead serious look in his eyes... so I did, and that little Cessna just glided through the gentle bank I had put it in and turned right around lined up perfectly with the runway with no additional input from me. I never had a death grip on the controls again.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you are getting more comfortable!
Thanks for making life that much easier! ✌🏾
Happy to help!
Great video, really good explanation.
Glad you liked it!
Hope to see you at sun and fun this year gonna be my first ever air show:)
We will be there in spirit. Have a great time, it is a fantastic event.
Great Video!!!
Thanks!
Hi Jason’ I’d appreciate it if you give an answer, does it matter when we do firstly reduce power or carb heat on ? Thank you, you’ve always keep inspiring us…
My death grip was only on landings. After I soloed the tension lessened.
Glad you got more comfortable, Michael!
thanks Jason
thanks for watching!
Great videos!! I had to rewind and watch the "stall" 4 times to concentrate on each camera angle!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching, Richard!
Jason, love your videos man. Can you share your best recommendation for pilot communications cable compatible with Gopro Max and Gopro Session 5 please?
Thanks for watching! For questions regarding this topic please reach out to support@mzeroa.com.
I am a student pilot about to solo and found to get rid of my death grip, keeping my pen in-between pointer and pinky fingers with ring and middle finger behind helped cure this tendency while gripping yoke. I found I must trim, or I have indents for a day or so in my fingers.
Hey Daniel! Thanks for tuning in. Glad you found a system that works for you. Trimming helps a lot! Keep on practicing and master your aircraft!
This video is perfect timing, I'm working on slow flight and stalls this Friday. I do have a bit of an issue grabbing the yolk with a hard grip due to just being nervous but I am getting better. Any advice on turns around a point and keeping the same distance throughout the turn? I struggled yesterday doing that but did great in my rectangular pattern
Know where the wind is coming from, start with the steeped bank with the wind behind you. From videos I have learned bank angle in relation to wind is key, just like with S-turns. Shallowest bank into the wind.
Hi Vinsanity! Thanks for tuning in! We have just the video to help you out: ruclips.net/video/H3ur2wMEqz0/видео.html
You will get more comfortable with more time in the airplane. If you have any questions or need more help throughout your training, please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com. Happy flying!
Hi from The Netherlands, I really like watching your videos and they do indeed benefit to become a better pilot.
I have ordered your fundamental book, any idea when that comes out? Regards Cristian
Hello, thank you for your interest in our channel! Our Aviation Mastery book will be shipping out near the end of May. Thanks for your support!
My hero
🙋🏻♂️ yep. I’ve death gripped many a time. Thanks for this series.
Thanks for tuning in!
Do you do a slight cross control to keep the airplane from over banking in slow flight? I find in the simulator I do best if I do a slight cross control to keep the wings level while turning, so that the secondary effect of the Ritter doesn’t bank the airplane too much and caused me to lose altitude. In the flight simulator in CAT I IMC conditions they have it with a 15 knot cross wind but I know if I’m not careful I end up doing S-turns across the ILS on Landing.
Hello, thanks for your comment! In slow flight, it is easy to let the bank get away from you so you may need to turn the yoke in the opposite direction just to prevent that from happening to "catch" the bank angle. If you need more help please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com. Fly safe!
Death Grip = Darth Vader choke hold. I used to have a huge problem with that...used pen in hand to combat it.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you found a system that works for you!
Love your airplane, your outfit and the look overall....
Thanks for watching!
At ~1:50 you mention, "when you start getting away from the 300's and stuff, it gets away from you very quickly." What do you mean by that?
He is meaning +300FPM on the VSI
I took a few lessons with a two-seater ultralight and I didn't have a death grip but my instructor did his eyes were bulging I wonder why
Hope you enjoyed the ultralight! Thanks for watching!
I have a death grip and got 20 or so hours :C
I'm not really nervous, I think I gotta just get used to trimming correctly
Hey Anna! Thanks for your comment and congrats on starting your training! Trimming does help a lot and can alleviate some of a "death grip." It will take time to get used to this. The airplane will fly perfectly safe if you let go while adequately trimmed. Ask your instructor to demonstrate this to you. Maybe this can help you feel more comfortable. As always, if you need more help please reach out to us at support@mzeroa.com. Fly safe!
"I used to yell at my students if they ever had a death grip on the yoke."
....
"Anyone ever have a death grip on the yoke? Leave your answer in the comments."
Nice try buddy, I'm not getting yelled at today.
Death grip all the time at first
It can be a hard habit to break, Jason!
Slow flight dirty!!
Thanks for watching, Coy!
