First Flight Lesson| C172 Glide & A Stall
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Following on from the previous video with Rachel and Gareth, I wanted to illustrate how nicely the aircraft glides. Then it was time for a quick stall before landing back at Orlando Executive!
Enjoy the flight!

I'd happily watch hour-long videos of yours as I'm sure the rest of us would. Your content is by far the funniest, most imformative and enjoyable on RUclips. Just wish more people would know you exist. Props my man! Keep em' coming Lew...
Thank you for supporting me and enjoying the videos that I make man! I don't want to be the type of channel that shows you how serious you must be if you are a pilot. That's not what I am about. I think I have proved that you can take aviation seriously but at the same time have a lot of fun doing what we love. That is my message to everyone! What you see in the videos is genuine (Apart from the silly skits I do haha). I don't try and be something I'm not. Thanks for the support
@@LewDixAviation That's why this is my favorite channel, Lewis. I will say that I didn't really get your style when I first started watching, primarily because it was so different from the other aviation channels. However, since then, I've come to truly appreciate just how much you do take aviation - and aviation safety - seriously. You are also an excellent pilot with an incredible ability to teach those skills to others. There's no doubt that your students are learning AND having a great time while doing so. Keep up the good work, my friend.
@@jan3195 Thank you for those kind words! That means a lot.. I have discussed the point you made about not getting what I was doing at first a few times with people. I am fully aware that the way that I present my content is different than everyone else on RUclips, but I truly believe that I have created a new genre of aviation video. I never wanted to make boring ride along videos and at the beginning it was unavoidable, but I had never seen anyone else make the type of videos that I now make. I believe my best asset is my humour, and it makes me overwhelmingly happy that people are now getting what I'm trying to do on here. I've developed my philosophy that flight training and flying in general should be fun, because we pay a lot of money to do what we do. The last thing we deserve is to sit in a plane with a drill instructor, sucking the life out of the best thing in the world. But back to the point, my goal is to keep growing the channel and keep entertaining. Those that understand me and enjoy being entertained are always welcome. Those that choose not to indulge in the fun are missing out, in my opinion!
Thanks for your support!
You just stole my words!
If it wasn't for that disclaimer I would've flown a plane all by myself with 0 knowledge about flying.
Thank you for saving my life Lew. Thank you.
Always happy to help!
I read the disclaimer as well - "In Lieu.... of" LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You put the fun back into learning to fly. Love your attitude, humor and charisma!
Thanks John! I appreciate that!
Your...attitude.... Lol
I practiced my first ever stall in landing configuration during my flight lesson this week. It's great to watch this video for reinforcement. I was really nervous that I was going to put the plane into a spin, but watching you teach Rachel gave me a lot of confidence for my next, upcoming lesson. Many thanks, Lew!
These videos are the best😂😂. Please keep making these. I've watched them all.
Thanks man! More are coming!
your videos are the best way to calm down after a day of work ;)
i feel ya haha
Haha thanks boys.. glad I could give you some relief
@@LewDixAviation That`s what she said :)
Wow. A natural at teaching. Impressive.
PPL update: Lesson # 2 completed today. Learned to do slow flight, power off stalls and power on stalls. Completed my second landing, thankfully I did not land nose-wheel first this time, but I did flair a bit too high. Next lesson Thursday.
how did you go?
@@Notinserviceij It went great! See Lewis's newest video for my comment.
Where are you now?
@@ShahmoonAliShah Working on my hours toward commercial now, tailwheel endorsement, and my first instrument lesson is next week.
@@benderaviation that's great
I will start my ppl from tomorrow
First flight ✈️
Wow that’s amazing! She’s so calm and she’s slowly getting it :) I’m currently training for my private license and your videos are really helping even tho you say it’s for entertainment
That is the beauty of what I am doing. The videos are for entertainment but I have countless people like yourself contacting me telling me that what I am doing is helping them along with entertaining them. I don't think there is a higher compliment I can receive and I thank you for your support!
I have students gliding over my house almost everyday. Some come down real low before powering off again (we are rural). Pretty cool
Great video I wish my CFI would have had a similar lesson it would have made things easier great job
That would be a stressful job to have a flight instructor, your kind of at the mercy of how well your student picks it up, or doesn't pick it up. It would be bad enough to be a drivers trainer but add the wings and hee haw....lol Great job!!!
I practiced this same thing yesterday in the same type of aircraft!
OG Top Gear!!! The best:0
You should start a series where you take your friends to their first flight
And on that bom she’ll another great video
I am worrying about power off 180's / no flap landings right now. Last step before soloing. Definitely have to nail your altitude on the last bit of downwind/base....it is hard.
Exactly where i am too
Sweaty palms - or worse - time!
Done no flaps. Onto power off
Fantastic Lew!
3:17 after my first flight :)
Best advice for first aircraft; c172, piper140 or LSA kits that’s instrument certified
Always good stuff.
You keep raising the bar!
Coast To Coast Aviation Woah woah woah. You do know I’ve uploaded today too, right? Where’s my customary comment?! 😂
.......... and angle of attack 🤪... Thanks Jay! We need to fly! We will work it out one day
Your videos are the best man
Obrigado mano!
I want to learn to fly, it would be fun to do it with you. I'm just afraid that, once I got up, I'd only want to land to refuel!
Do you actually accept students? If so, what is the best way to contact you?
Fountastic!
Come to Hawaii and be my instructor please. This CFI is thorough with his lessons.
We’re taught as CFIs to build concepts on top of each other, so anyone learning how to fly should start off with light lessons but specific concepts and have each lesson build off of the previous ones. You don’t want to throw the book at them their first flight.
Lewis I've been watching several of your videos and you explain things very clearly. For example I now know to use rudder to recover from a spin and not aileron (right?). I like your straightforward yet laid back British sensibility too! When I start training for my PPL, I'd hope to have an instructor like you-are you still instructing? I have family in Florida and have thought about doing my flight training there. When they let us out of lockdown that is and life gets back to normal! -Brian here in Cali
Thanks man.. I’m glad you like my style.. You’re absolutely right, no aileron in a spin my friend! I am still instructing in Orlando
@@LewDixAviation Orlando nice, it's close enough to family but not so close that I'd have to see them every day 🤪. Tell me, do you teach under Part 61 or 141? Not sure if you'll get an alerts for responses...
😂 I love your videos!
Wyatt Leo thanks mate!
Power off 180s are a PITA....
Great video again, thanks, sounds like you guys have a lot of fun....
Can anyone tell me how the sink rate relates to best glide speed please. The two aspects must influence each other? All I've heard about, almost everywhere, is 'best glide speed'.
Thanks again, great video, nice to hear the instructor tell us about his bad days too, it's reassuring and encouraging (not to hear of others' misery LOL! But to hear that everyone experiences it, from time to time).
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
A simple way to think about descent rate when gliding is to think about drag. This is the way that I have always thought about it: The best glide speed is based on getting to the point where you are producing the most amount of lift with the least amount of total drag. The angle of attack is such that you are descending at a speed that maintains this balance. Let's say your best glide speed is 65 knots and you are at 75 knots, your angle of attack is lower which increases airspeed which increases parasite drag, therefore increasing total drag and your descent rate. You can also see the obvious that pushing the nose down alone will make you descend faster. Now let's say you are at 55 knots. The angle of attack is higher which means you are producing more induced drag, therefore increasing total drag and your descent rate.
I hope that helps!
I'd love you to be my instructor - mine was ok, but didn't have a sense of humor. You sound like a barrel (roll) of laughs. :)
Great as always! How is the training with the airlines going?
How do I get to have flight lessons with you? You are so funny :')
I have been away from flying for several yrs and getting back into flying again (I have the bug again) I am really struggling with my landings , I have caught myself spending to much time inside the cockpit and not enough outside , I fixate on my airspeed to much and my good config on final goes out the window, any suggestions ?
Thanks for sharing so helpful , your technique makes things inside the cockpit a wonderful atmosphere
Hey mate.. At the private pilot level we are visual pilots. Eyes outside 90% of the time, glance inside 10%. You're gonna have to catch yourself and remember just to glance at the airspeed. If you look at it and it's where you want it, look back outside and keep that same sight picture you have. You know then that if you do that, you don't have to keep looking inside. Trust yourself not to have to look inside all the time
@@LewDixAviation thanks man, really appreciate that ! Wish I had you as my CFI , you make the cockpit light and fun, but the best thing is you instill confidence, dude you are the best CFI , cheers 🍻
Safe flying up there!
Where do you recommend me to become a pilot?
Where are you locate it at?
Where you located??
Great as usual, right my question is... How much did she actually understand. Me on my first flight, fell asleep for 13 hours 😁
Would you believe me if I told you that she did so well that the FAA issued her a license after watching this video?........................
@@LewDixAviation with you instructing, I'd expect nothing less... So atpl ir and multi engine next week right?
Why does every gash reach for their phone as soon as he takes control on the approach? If you can't give 100% of you attention for 30-60 minutes, you don't need to be piloting an aircraft. Y'all are bad enough on the road.
Are you from Yorkshire ?
Lancashire... Bolton
LewDix Aviation ahhh I see the accent sounds similar to a Yorkshire one..... but not exactly the same 😂
