Got a little close to stalling after take off as i was distracted by a right hand traffic pattern with an aircraft entering downwind and I could not find them in the sky, no stall horn though.
Until I started flying acro in a Pitts, I didnt fully understand the relationship between g loading/AOA and stall speed. There were a few times where I would really roll and crank while turning downwind to base. I was still coordinated, so I would have only had stalled; but none the less, I was unknowingly putting myself in a VERY precarious situation. Thankfully I have lived long enough to learn from my mistakes. Great video by the way sir!
I was flying my cub and I Dived beyond my “”Never exceed speed”” and the wing strut snapped off, but luckily I was still able to land it before the whole wing folded up. You Make a mistake: You don’t do it again, You pay WAY more attention.
Love your video/audio work Marcus. I can say I’ve made countless mistakes, a few could have been fatal; I still make mistakes, just not major ones because I definitely learned from each scare. And yes, I’ve absolutely been scared in a few occasions.
It takes a big person and an even bigger pilot to admit to mistakes. Congratulations for being just that, and thank you for sharing and help make us better pilots, too. Subscribed 👍!
Almost ended up on Pilot Debrief: Love the pilot graveyard humor. Also, I just started flying Cessnas after flying Pipers and keeping track of the runway with left traffic is such a pain.
The one thing I'm working on, I'm still a student pilot.... Is taking it slow and working at checklist. You do not need to forget anything like your landing gear or anything like that. Yesterday when I was flying I did not make sure the door was closed and I was wondering where all this cold air was coming from. I expected it to be cold but not cold air. And the upper latch was locked, but the door was open. So it's just one of those things. Take your time
CFI here I think you are being to hard on yourself granted pulling flaps up like that low and slow can create a very sketchy situation you handled it perfectly and I can see you are a safety oriented pilot. Just keep on doing what you are doing and stay humble avoiding the hazardous attitudes and you will have a great career in aviation. Keep up the great work you definitely got a new subscriber!!
Thanks for the feedback and the sub. Yeah, when training for PPL, my instructor told me "you're going to make mistakes, but you can't dwell on them, especially in the air"
The nice thing about Cessna flaps is that although you can command them to go up all at once, because they are electric, there is some travel time from full down to full up. You seemed to have good control over the attitude of the plane, as the flaps were retracting, so I would say that the only thing that was in danger there was maybe your sense of pride.
I am new in my journey, 3 months in. First landing was rough.. took it in stride. Have to ensure concentration. I am taking my time with the process. Not rushing anything.the objective is to get better every flight. Thanks for posting.
I love the video Brother, and count me in as a new subscriber! I also love that you’re going to allow your aviation and RUclips journey to be a transparent one. I completely agree, the more we show what we’ve done wrong, will help other pilots get better. And yet, the last thing I want to end up on is Pilot debrief, or the Bloncalario channels! Anyway, keep doing what you’re doing, and I pray that your Pilot career and RUclips aviation careers, thrive abundantly!
It’s really not the worst mistake you could’ve done. If you were on approach speed, 70 for the 172s I’ve flown, you’ll still be fine. You’ll definitely feel as if you start to drop, but you won’t stall at 70 knots unless you pull back on the yoke ridiculously. Once you’re slowing down and are at 55-60 knots, that’s where it gets tricky. Either way, good to see you’re safety oriented. Wish you lots of success
I want to go around. My instructor said never do that again. And you just have to treat it like a short field or Southfield take off. Start removing those flaps once you climb up and things like that. So I'm going to go around keep everything exactly the way you came in on until you start to you know get your climbing speed
I start posting my flight stuff online as well. I use an in-flight audio recording cable. I record my audio to a Sony external recording device. That way I can sync up the audio between my two to four cameras I might be using at the time.
I think we've all done stuff like this at least once. Good learning experience and you'll never do it again. Regarding the gear on landing,.., nah.... I think you'll run through your GUMPS check each time to prevent that. I appreciate your candor and humility. You ever make it up to any airports in Norcal area? Good luck in your journey!
@@MarcusJFloyd Well, I'm old now and live overseas but back when I flew I did my PPL out of KCCR (Concord Buchanan) and instrument out of KSTS (Sonoma county). Saw that you flew up to Modesto? That's about 50 miles south/southeast of Concord. Well, best of luck to you with your training and channel!
Commercial Training? I was confronted with six full volumes covering flight from aviation meteorology to tie down. A minimum of at least 80% correct on all those phases were required to continue training, and on completion, we were expected to know and understand all materials presented. Staring at that pile of loose leaf binders stuffed full, I began. I KNEW WHAT FACED ME WHEN, "....in the course of study concerning aviation weather we will begin on the molecular level...." Oy Vey!
Great video. Once I tried to do a touch and go in a Cessna 150 with nose up trim. Luckily my instructor was there to help me lower the nose and adjust the trim. By the way, what's your GoPro settings? Thanks
Without pointing it out yourself this camera angle doesn’t show the flap lever so there’s no way for us to catch it. Learning from your mistakes is how you get better. Stay safe and good luck on your journey.
In my private training I asked for a downwind departure from 30R (two runways 30L/R), I was told to make a left downwind departure and I made a right downwind departure; because in my mind it was right pattern for runway 30R. Minor mistake but a good learning point nonetheless.
Were you trimming down enough for full flaps? It looks like you were fighting the yoke forward. I'm thinking maybe the subconscious idea of full power and fatigue prempted flaps up now reaction?
you wanna stream yourself and post it online then get ready to get hated on by everyone. that is the world we live in today. YOUR CHOICE Fly like we used to back in the day , just enjoy it
I'm not a pilot. So I have no idea what your mistake was. I just recently got interested in flying so I'm watching all the flying videos now. Could someone be so kind to explain to me what the mistake was? I'm trying to learn. Subbed.
Yeah I'm gonna keep 'em. I don't plan on going to the airlines. I plan to do contract pilot work or corporate. I don't value any job enough to cut my hair for it lol.
Hey there! Im looking to start IFR training at Vista. Hows your experience with them? Instructors/aircraft availability, management, etc.? Which instuctor would you recommend? Thanks.
I can't speak much for in depth training at Vista. I did my PPL and instrument rating at GCC (Glendale Community College). At Vista, I've only done flight reviews and an IPC and my experience has been really good. I've flown with Frank Bagheri for my IPC and complex endorsement and I can highly recommend him. I also hear Robert Illian is a really good instructor and has a really good relationship with Mark Boss when you're ready for your checkride. I haven't flown with him yet because he's usually booked up way in advance. Management is really good. They have mechanics on staff so when planes go down for maintenance, they're usually back on the line within a very reasonable amount of time. If you have an open schedule, then you shouldn't have a problem with availability although you may have to book a week or 2 in advance. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
have a check list on paper bro , avoid high banks, modern pilots count on engine too much they LOVE 45% angle turns for some reason , cant climb with nose up only with speed , all the basics or Pilot Debrief , stay safe bro
Thanks man. That's the other thing, I had a laminated checklist right in my lap. And yeah I'm with you on te bank angle when turning. I have my instrument rating so I'm perfectly ok with standard rate turns.
C'mon I know I'm not the only pilot making mistakes out here. What are some mistakes y'all have made?
Got a little close to stalling after take off as i was distracted by a right hand traffic pattern with an aircraft entering downwind and I could not find them in the sky, no stall horn though.
Not going around. I was going too fast and bounced.
Until I started flying acro in a Pitts, I didnt fully understand the relationship between g loading/AOA and stall speed. There were a few times where I would really roll and crank while turning downwind to base. I was still coordinated, so I would have only had stalled; but none the less, I was unknowingly putting myself in a VERY precarious situation. Thankfully I have lived long enough to learn from my mistakes.
Great video by the way sir!
@@guitarmasterf18what do you mean by that relationship? Were you doing steep and slow turns?
I was flying my cub and I Dived beyond my “”Never exceed speed”” and the wing strut snapped off, but luckily I was still able to land it before the whole wing folded up. You Make a mistake: You don’t do it again, You pay WAY more attention.

Interesting knowledge ima use MSFSIM 😅
Thanks for the info/feedback. I was at ~60 knots and did feel the plane sink a bit, but I didn't let the flaps go up all the way before I caught it.
I want to go around. My instructor said never do that again. And you just have to treat it like a short field or Southfield take off.

I cant tell if that was full flaps, but it is generally not recommended to use flaps when doing a forward slip as it can cause structural damage!
Hey nice video. You just earned yourself a new subscriber. I’m a student pilot out of Van Nuys
Thanks! Nice. How far along are you and which school do you fly out of? I flew at Corsair for a little bit.
New subscriber, enjoyed it. Got to admit to mistakes to learn from them. Good job!
Thanks Pete. I just subscribed to your page too. I'm working on becoming a pro pilot like you!

I think you'll run through your GUMPS check each time to prevent that. I appreciate your candor and humility. You ever make it up to any airports in Norcal area? Good luck in your journey!

Every flight we take should be a learning experience. No harm in learning from our mistakes to avoid future repeats.

It's not a mistake if you caught it and went around. Stuff happens and you handled it perfectly.
Thanks. Definitely no shame in going around over here.

Great channel, great content. Subbed!
Thanks! Much appreciated! I'll keep 'em coming
Were you trimming down enough for full flaps?
It looks like you were fighting the yoke forward. I'm thinking maybe the subconscious idea of full power and fatigue prempted flaps up now reaction?
Underrated
Did that before. Only took one time to (hopefully) never do it again. 🙏👍👍👍
You got a nice landing, want to see you as uniform 👨✈️ soon brother
Thanks man I'm working on it. Are you a pilot too?
subbed!

No prob
you wouldn't want to make that mistake in a cirrus.
Almost crashed??
I was like this guy contorts his mouth alot and then you said it in your video. Hey im sure i do some stuff too.
Haha. Yeah this was my first time watching myself fly and was like "what the"
No one wants to end up on pilot debrief or the Dan Blanca... Show
have a check list on paper bro , avoid high banks, modern pilots count on engine too much they LOVE 45% angle turns for some reason , cant climb with nose up only with speed , all the basics or Pilot Debrief , stay safe bro
