Who wouldn’t be subscribed to such a great channel?!?!? Thanks Charlie!

Subscribed! Thank you for all your information. I’ll definitely be checking more of your videos. 👍🏻

Excellent points! Thanks!

Thank you very much! Videos like this really help to get a „better“ Pilot! Thanks!

Absolutely love your channel! I am getting my PPL here in UK and your videos are very helpful! Pls keep them coming.

Charlie, another great video. What resonated with me most was to keep on learning, to make a better pilot, better able to handle more challenging situations.

I've had my Private Pilot License for 41 years now and just randomly stumbled on your channel and really enjoyed this video. I decided to subscribe and to receive all your notices. I'm looking forward to your new videos and I'll be going through your playlists as well.

Hey man, I know you work hard on these. Just wanted you to know that your content has taken huge steps recently. Great job. Keep going. Passed PPL checkride (Central MS) two weeks ago. I eat this content up!

Just started working on my PPL, and came across this video. Excited to check out the rest of your videos. Awesome content !

Your videos are excellent-well informed, positive, encouraging. Thank you!

Thanks Charlie this is great information. I look forward to more of this kind of content...and going back to view some of your older videos to relearn the content :)

Thanks brother. You’re really good at what you do.

Thank you Charlie! Your content is really helpful

This is the stuff that helps so much thank you for showing these!

Thanks for the reminder!!!

Love your videos. Please make more Educational videos like his. Thank you very much

Great video Charlie !! - Thanks for all you do.

Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. Expect for their value to increase as I am about to start flight school.

This is the first video of yours that I have seen and you’ve definitely earned my subscription! Well done my friend! Love the video!

Awesome Thank you

Energy management on final. Absolutely agree with you on this. As a new pilot I’m constantly trying to refine my pattern work to where the ugly landings are fewer and further between. Great videos brother. 🤙🏼

hey man great video! i subscribed. Im trying to start flying lessons... hopefully soon... Im in Texas too. this cooler weather is such a relief!

Another nice video. Thanks!

Love this video man! We all can tell how hard you work and you truly make a difference to a lot of people in aviation including me! Keep up the great work we need more people like you.

Great info. Thanks for investing in the aviation community with this type of content.

Excellent video Charlie!

I enjoy your video content a lot! Subbed on day one of finding your channel. I really enjoy the style of your presentations. I feel like it's just an informal discussion each time and i also like your points of view on the topics you discuss.

Thanks very helpful information. great to follow your advice and knowledge

Thanks for your wonderful programs and for your humble attitude. You are a blessing to all of us who are learning to fly.

nicely presented with useful food for thought. Just happened to run into your channel, subscribed before the end of your video. thanks for the links. keep up the great work.

Great video. Subscribed!

I love your videos so much. I’m so so glad I have found your channel! Fantastic guy, fantastic content, top pilot. Hope to continue seeing great content from you!

Very informative and useful video - thank you!

Excellent video. Subscribed.

Subscribed today! Great videos, learning a lot. Matt (Wattisham, Suffolk, England)

Thanks for the great videos. Too the point and referring to videos you did already. 👍

I really enjoy your channel and have learned a lot! Thank you!

I just wanted to thank the channel and everyone on it. I started flying again this year after a very long 17-year break with PP-SEL and 85 hours. I have to say that the content and comments on this channel helped me greatly to get back into flying and training safely. I'm at 230 hours and with IR and MEL done while working on my CPL at this point, and I still come back to the channel for more every chance I get. I also hope to own an airplane in the near future, and you covered the various aspects of owning vs. renting very well. Keep the videos coming! Thanks again!

The checklist item is so important. It's a point in a flying career that you have to make the mental checklist to slow down and do the checklist. Maybe you get away with it in a trainer with fixed gear. But when you move up to more advanced and faster airplanes, it's easy to forget important tasks. Lots of perfectly great airplanes have been landed without the wheels put down because someone didn't follow the checklist.

Very practical advice put forth in a helpful way.

Very cool, great info!

Doing a great job!

Great content. Subscribed

Charlie, I have told you this before but I believe it is worth repeating again. I can’t wait for the day when you get through the CFI course and are working with pilots of all skill levels. I know that the flying community is going to be much better off once you get this rating. You are already a great teacher and if your patience level is always like what I see here, you are going to be a great blessing. Thank you for your ongoing inspiration.

Incredibly well considered observations. Great job.

Very good video..

Another great video! I love your passion, knowledge, and concise way you present you aviation videos. If anyone out there is interested in aviation, this is a great channel to keep learning!

This is a very useful video! Thank you.

Wow! Great content. I think I will binge watch your channel Christmas day.

Charlie your video content is awesome and practical for us all. thanks

Another great video, Charlie. Thanks. Although not aviation related, I can relate to all of the mistakes you listed. Complacency is the mother of all mistakes. We stop talking, we stop learning, we assume we know it all.

Another great video!

Definitely subscribed to this, aboslutely love the content!!

Such a beautiful video. Just awesome.

Thank you... Voice of reason on your shoulder when you fly :-). Appreciate your advice and reminders!!!

Very sage advice indeed!

Great job man

As a new pilot in training I thank you for all this information so that when I do get in with my CFI and fly I can already be looking at what I can do to improve myself as a pilot and help my CFI as much as possible to train me.

Great advice! "DON'T EVER STOP LEARNING!"

Charlie, you are providing a wonderful service for the flying community. Thank you!

I’m subbed!! Love your channel 👍👍

That's so on point. Good stuff.

great video -- Thanks

One of my favourite GA channels! Thanks for the Great work!👌🏼🙏🏼 Greetings from Germany✌🏼️

This stuff is a great little addition to going to pilot school. I love all of the shots from your plane...so pretty.

Excellent! Thanks!

Plus an IFR rating can turn many no-go situations into "go" situations. Maybe the ceiling is low at your airport, but ten miles away it's clear. Very common for that to happen in Alaska.

I'm not a pilot (yet) but a big enthusiast and simmer & I really enjoy your channel. Your tips simply make a lot of sense even to a simulation pilot. As a fellow filmmaker, I also really like the bits of flying vids you put in between the content and think you could even add some more of those if you got them. Keep up the good work and your wonderful spirit!

Very nice. I subed because you said so lol. I’m always on your page. Very nice very good work. I love it. Thank you for have great contact. Keep them coming.

I like this reminder. I've put off getting my IFR and appreciate the encouragement. Also, the encouragement to try new things is good. I do find that I prefer going to places I've already been. Next stop for me is First Flight Airport, only an hour and a half away in my recently acquired Mooney.

Charlie. Great tips. I’m 300hr PPL in south of UK and have busy airspace all round. I still struggle on radio. Lots of IFR traffic that I don’t understand. Gotta look at that Instrument Rating! Thanks again.

Hey, hello from Montreal area, I am new to this channel (and yes...subscribed :-) ). I have fully enjoyed and appreciated your videos thus far and really look forward to more.

You nailed it.

great stuff brother👍👍👍, I just got my first solo done over the weekend, Im looking forward for some great adventures. thank you for all those great videos. keep up the great work.

Great tips!

My favourite fixed wing channel brother I am learning so much every time. Everything’s a bit different in Canada but I’m coming to Oregon in May for my helicopter ifr cfi and cfii

I just subscribed because you have awesome content.

Good job mate, nearly finished my PPL only 10 hrs to go, So just complete a couple of my first solo's and the check list is something that i have noticed i am only skimming over now. These videos are good to hear some of this stuff for me to keep my eye on and be proactive to make sure i don't become complacent. You got my Sub

Definitely agreed on the passengers. Communication is key - in the corporate world we call it "expectations management" 😊 Cheers!

Subscribed! Your personal minimums is a huge one I’ll agree with. Ironically mine have changed to be more restrictive since I got my license, after an uncomfortable flight in some thick haze. Lots of great points here, and still working on the confidence to leave my 50nm bubble. I learned to fly under the class B shelf of LAX, but fly in dead airspace and land of nothing in the desert. Definitely losing the confidence I had to fly in the busy airspace down below, crazy what 30 days will do to confidence on the radio.

Just found your KZfaq page. I really enjoy the way you present your material. Although I have had my license for a couple of years (PPL), haven't flown a whole lot. Looking forward to getting back in the plane and learning from you. Keep it up

Subscribed!

Just finished my checkride and got my temporary license on Friday! Took a bit to get done waiting for weather to go through but glad it’s done and going to be starting my instrument rating in the next couple weeks hopefully. Glad I found another great aviation channel to utilize, thanks for the videos!

Thanks for the content! Biggest mistake as a student pilot for me, is feeling rushed. I’ve learned to slow things down on the ground and in the air, never done learning! I’m hoping to finally get my first XC solo done for my PPL tomorrow. Upstate NY weather has made this very difficult this time of year.

GREAT channel! I’m a 182 owner as well as a corporate guy based in OSH. Great content and spot on analysis. Blue skies

I love the content and want to record my training sessions to study later on! Any advice for keeping gopros on with such a short battery life?

I'm intrigued, I've been working since I was 11 years old to get to a major airline. Finally made it, and all I want to do is to buy an airplane to fly for fun and remember why I love aviation. Looking forward to watching your videos. If you need a ride when you fly into KJWY send me a message.

I think you are right with the top two. Radio is one I have picked myself up on recently, my method of fixing it is to actually ask for a service rather than just going onto the monitring squawk (that might not be something you have in the USA but we do here in the UK when you put in a squawk code to tell ATC that you are monitoring the fequency). I live off check lists so have one for when I fly with a others, to make sure I check them out as well (it covers ask how they feel, what they want to see or do and also what I would like them to do, such as tell me if they see other traffic and how to do it, when not to talk and to ask questions). On your number one, even though I have a fair number of hour, I still try to keep up with keeping on top hence I subscribe to your channel and others with connent that helps me look at what I do (this gives me a chence to reflect on what I do, which is also the reason I video most of my flights and share so others can give their views or talk about the content and learn).

Awesome video! You keep coming up with great videos. I was going to make a video flying my mom for the first time yesterday but the winds were too bad for my comfort level in the 152, so I had to make the no go decision!

Only 90 hour ppl and bought a bonanza! HI performance and complex done. First few solo flights this weekend. Weather in Colorado is great right now. Heading to corpse crunchy Texas mid October vacation. Nerves are racked for my first long trip. Thanks for the videos

Thanks for the content. I'm taking my second crack at my PPL (ran out of time & money 10 years back), communication is definitely where I find myself working. Have found a lot of benefit listening to LiveATC to hone my skills and use more concise phrasing. The additional ratings bit I've already fount true. I started with a glider license, which is a great foundation for energy management. First time my CFI pulled power to idle in the 172 for a simulated engine failure it was a non-issue for me.

You need to get your CFI. You are great!

It's spring time here in the Patagonia and I'm super happy to finally get rid of the sweater. I would add mistake #-1 (pre-pilots make the most): thinking that a pilot license is too expensive and too difficult to get.

I LOVE WHAT YOU TEACH!

Nice video, thanks mate. I think it just boils down to flying like a professional. Even if it's just your buddies on board, behave like it's serious business, 'cos it is.

Airspeed management for sure, always keep an eye on that. Another thing is getting out of your flow, make sure you are robotically consistent in the critical points of flights, and on the ground. Being aware of what is around you, especially when you are at a new or unfamiliar airport, is key.

Thanks for cranking out the great content Charlie. Part 103 operator here who stopped his ppl training 20 years ago due to lack of $$$. Building an exp amateur built right now, so I won't have any more excuses in another 5-600 hours! I fly with GA friends once or twice a month and handle comms and checklists. ATC busy radio chatter used to rattle me. Not so much anymore.

Sensible advise for all students. Your videos are a must for the student airport class room

I've been binge watching your videos tonight as I just discovered your channel and it is AWESOME!!! Well you are awesome at this and just a great guy all around I can tell. Anyway I wanted you to know that you are providing a great value to anyone interested in GA at probably any level, most of all those just getting started. I've not only subbed to the channel but I've been saving all these videos as they are so full of great reference info for later to look back on. I'm not even close to being a pilot but a lifelong enthusiast since my earliest flying experiences as a kid. I recently re-caught the bug of planes and flying and I wish I had someone like you to teach and guide me in my younger days to show me it was possible to actually get a license and even my own plane without having to make 6 figures a year. My dream was pretty much crushed early on by mere myths and bad info from those that really didn't know what they were talking about. That happens a lot in life unfortunately. Well for now I am living a bit vicariously through people like you until the day I do this myself. Sorry for the long winded rant. Just wanted to say thank you and I am very happy to have found you. :)

Hey Charlie, I'm a 16 year old student pilot from California and I'm getting pretty close to my PPL. I watch a lot of aviation youtube channels and this is definitely one of my favorites, I hope your channel gets millions of subscribers like it deserves. Recently, I've been trying to convince my mom to let me have an introductory flight to aerobatics for my birthday (just a one time thing). My mom thinks it's too dangerous and I've been trying to find good resources to prove that it isn't as dangerous as she thinks. I read your article about aerobatics which helped me understand what it is, I was wondering if you knew of any sources to help me out. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
