First Flight Nervousness? | LewDix Aviation Discovery Flight

A discovery flight is the first step in becoming a pilot. It is the flight in which you finally get to take controls of an aeroplane, the very thing that you have dreamt about for years! But what if you feel nervous? It's inevitable really. But how do you beat it? My theory on this is to simply get behind the controls and feel it all out. The more you see how your inputs affect change in the aircraft, the more comfortable you feel.
Seth did very, VERY well in his discovery flight, and hopefully he goes on to have a great career in aviation.
Enjoy the discovery flight!

Spent that entire video smiling. Brings back memories as I had my own intro flight a few weeks ago. You CFIs really are a different breed, just handing over controls to complete unknowns and sitting back like you do. To Seth, the stomach thing may get worse before it gets better but don't let it discourage you. I threw up on my third flight (insert excuses here), but have been pretty fine since. Once you get the scan worked out, anytime the stomach feeling comes on, you do a scan and the feeling goes away. Before you know it, you stop getting the feeling and get to spend more time enjoying / being overwhelmed by the other parts.

My discovery flight the instructor asked what I wanted to do...of course power off and power on stalls! Had them mostly mastered in a few minutes. Such a blast...Even did the old "float the phone out of my hand" zero G trick. Now...about ready for a checkride. It's been a blast so far and it's only the beginning! Awesome job making him feel at ease and explaining the "whys and hows" of things. Good instructors are getting harder to find these days, but luckily, I think Seth has found one of the best!

I had my first intro flight last week and the winds began picking up speeds to 18kts crosswind and damn my first ride was pretty wild but made me a lot understanding about the forces, And my instructor gave me the handling for around 30 min and i did pretty good. After some time i was into it and those forces weren't bothering me that much. Enjoyed it a lot. Proud moment and my instructor was happy about it. Lots of Miles to go baby❤‍🔥

The 1st step of a great journey. It's been 24 years since my initial flight training and I can still hear my CFI's voice in my headset - "Head on a swivel", "Step on the ball", and my favorite after she would reach over and turn off the engine and ask - "Now what?" and if I wasn't adjusting my pitch for best glide speed within about 10 seconds, my favorite - "Oh no we're going to die!!"

I've watched dozens of Disc flights, and I have to say, you are BY FAR the best instructor. You might be a LIIIITLE lax but that sort of emotion allows the student to be that much more relaxed. I love how you allowed him to push himself as far as he wanted, when he wanted. You weren't pushy and you weren't judgy. You gave confidence when he was doing it all himself. Good god I hope my disc instructor this weekend is as good as you are.

@LewDixAviation 7 ай бұрын

That's all very kind of you to say. There's a common misconception about flight training that the instructor has to be strict and on your back about every little detail that you do wrong. That's a fundamentally flawed way of operating. I prove on a daily basis that you can achieve great things in aviation with my instruction style and I'm so glad that it resonates with you. If your discovery flight instructor isn't someone you can get along with, I highly recommend finding someone else. Remember, flight training is about YOU, not them. You deserve the best so make sure you get it!

Ah summer... you should visit Arizona. Highs of 120 degrees this coming week. Besides the supreme discomfort in the cockpit, recently overhauled engines are not a fan of the warmer air. CHTs of 425 and above on rear cylinders are not uncommon in the climb in my Cherokee 160. You can pretty much kiss afternoon flights goodbye during late June, July, and early August out here. Fly in the early morning and be back before noon, or else wait until evening/nightfall are your options. Plus, the thermals become extraordinarily aggressive as the day rolls on. Great video mate! 👍

I wish I had you when I was learning. Id be a pilot today. My instructor was a nervous screamer. Made me nervous all the time. Finally gave up when doing departure stalls and I would leave out rudder and we would roll over in a spin. He said you will never be a pilot. Quit and never went back. 15 hours and didnt solo. Now Im old and have vertigo so never will be a pilot. I was an aircrewman in the Navy with 7000 hours as EW Op and Flight Engineer. Lots of stick time, but still forever regret not finishing. Was in Guam at the time and no other instructor was open.

I just started my flighttraining in April (I'm in Switzerland). I was pretty confident going into the discovery flight, my biggest fear were that I would discover that I had some unknown fears that would pop up as soon as I'm in the air in a small plane. Luckily it was a beautiful day (great early morning light) and no turbulence at all (I only found out later in my first few "real" flights that that was not the "normal", but still nothing I can handle.) The flight definetly sealed the deal and made me register at the school right then and there...
