Yes, I really wanted to film both - and both were such good kids...I could've fixed it if I had some more time that day but the wind picked up and we just could not get it done.

@@ProbableCause-DanGryder I bet he taped a small marker on that ASI..I would had!

Thank you!

Every time I see the spinner I think of you. Thank you for your support. Our next project will be under way shortly. Tune into our channel. We will be capturing the adventure. Sky Program

What city and airport are you out of?

I took my first lesson at 62 and got my ppc at 64. What an amazing accomplishment. We fly 90 hrs a year and we love it. Go for it!

Yes if you are prepared to put in the work. Age is no barrier -it’s the medical that counts. My situation was identical to Ken - start training at 62, get my license at 64 (in the U.K.). I love flying and it’s a great way to keep my brain active after retirement. For me though it’s all about safety which is why I’m on this channel. 🙂

It's hilarious that KZfaq has "Translate to English" under your comment

They didn’t solo in one day. They had been training with their cfi. Dan just went there to solo them in one day. Dan does this from time to time because he’s just an amazing guy.

@@gtm624 ok, the title of the video threw me off. I didn't think that was possible.

@@Mars-77 you should watch the video. 😊

ok

Please follow SKY Program. Almost four years and running. We are just getting started. We are building youth through aviation.

I gave training and I endorsed. A student can have 20 different CFIs but only one can evaluate and endorse. I did that.

@@ProbableCause-DanGryder I’m confident you exercised your due diligence. But for “peace of mind”, just ensure every element of CFR 61.87 (d) - Maneuvers and procedures for pre-solo flight training in a single-engine airplane - is annotated in the student’s logbook. OTT, great job!

@@easttexan2933 … in this business, someone … somewhere … is *always* effecting safety assurance. The days of “Lone Rangers” are long past. “…pard.”

@@easttexan2933 … the issue is not whether an individual will be “OK”, but if adherence to CFRs is in effect. This happens all the time, from the fledgling Student pilot, to the grizzled B-777 Captain. That everyone is being watched and evaluated on a regular basis is the name of the aviation “game.” In summary, my ultimate concern was this: ======= 14 CFR Part 61 Section 87 (61.87) - Solo requirements for student pilots. (p) Limitations on flight instructors authorizing solo flight. No instructor may authorize a student pilot to perform a solo flight unless that instructor has - (1) Given that student pilot training in the make and model of aircraft or a similar make and model of aircraft in which the solo flight is to be flown; (2) Determined the student pilot is *proficient in the maneuvers and procedures prescribed in this section;* ======= To me, the requirements stipulated by *CFR 61.87 (d) Maneuvers and procedures for pre-solo flight training in a single-engine airplane* - did not seem like an attainable goal, given such a short period of time of observation and evaluation. … that’s all I’m saying - no more, no less.

@@easttexan2933 clearly there is a misinterpretation or misapplication of the regs, here. CFR 61.87 (p) - “No instructor may authorize a student pilot to perform a solo flight unless *that* instructor has - (1) Given *that* student pilot training … in the maneuvers and procedures prescribed in *this* section” The *only* legal way to determine and affirm if the elements of CFR 61.87 have been effected is by *entries in a logbook.*” “Word of mouth” doesn’t cut it. Multiple instructors may be employed, however this does not relieve the Solo Instructor of the responsibility to *affirm and audit* the student’s logbook for the presence of the *complement of endorsements specified in CFR 61.87* at the time of solo. I have been presenting this fact of strict adherence to CFRs and “safety assurance” throughout this exchange. Don’t dismiss the necessity for a “pre-solo audit” of the students’ records (logbook), his aeronautical knowledge (61.87b), and his demonstrated abilities. I certainly hope the Instructors out there read and digest this exchange.

Sam, I have always been in the same boat as you. I can pretty much tell if the airspeed is correct by feel, sound, attitude, etc. But when I first learned about DMMS/AQP-GA, I immediately saw the wisdom in it. I started teaching it and using it as well. I recognized the value of these procedures. I’ve been a CFI and professional pilot for 40+ yrs. I got to fly pre and post AQP at my company. One dramatic change for GA is the use of NC headsets. Great stuff, but the downside is loss of one huge input that directly relates to airspeed control… the sounds made by the airplane . Slipstream noise, engine noise, you name it. These are all important parts of the feel of an airplane that pilots don’t experience as well as in the old days of hearing destruction, lol. So put that simple piece of tape on your AS indicator and discover what you’ve been missing. I think you’ll be surprised! I was.

I know…saw it.

That’s the best you can do on a video like this posted on Easter? Cmon man.

Excellent paint finish

It's you! Watch the video!

Nope.

@@ProbableCause-DanGryder kinda what’s been holding me back from going and getting a pilot license lol. Freaking out over that information that is all over the internet. Thanks for clearing that up.
