This HD video includes Instrument Panel Orientation, Emergency Engine-out recovery and Takeoff & Landing practice. This is the fifth video of a series describing the fundamentals I am learning from theory of flight, pre-flight planning, aircraft check lists, dual instruction and post flight analysis. I am sharing my story to show you it is never too late to follow your dreams. Special thanks to my CFI, my brother Bill, for his excellent instruction.

It's awesome to witness your flight videos, where you make it comfortable for me to learn from your thoughtful/pleasant narration. You make flying look fun! I'm recently retired, and beginning the journey of learning to fly my Beaver 550 ultralight float plane.

Hi. I turn 71 this week and have decided to get back into flying via the ultralight route. I soloed a 150 and did my cross country work back in the 70's before family obligations forced me to stop, so I do have a realistic view of what I need to re-learn. The Challenger seems like the perfect platform for training. Thanks for the videos!

When flying what is the most important thing to know? ........ ANSWER:... The minimum speed you can fly before your plane will stall. .....Best way to remember it is to cut a sliver of colored tape, and place it on your speed gauge 5 MPH above stall speed. And never go below the marker.

Howdy. I'm 60 and starting back to finishing my flight this week. Doing the light sport thing. I once worked at the airport and had a ball building hours and working with planes. I have over 80 hours but life happened and I was a married daddy. Just now getting back. Loved the video.

Radio communication seemed a little challenging For you my man, thinking about getting into ultralights myself. I think the training I had as an EMT communicating with hospitals over the radio giving patient information ETA etc. I think that training would help me prepare for communicating over the radio in aviation, I hope. Thanks for making these videos.

Mick, thank you for your comments and for watching. You were right, my radio coms were challenging at the time. I was suffering from novice pilot workload and inexperience. Best of luck with your ultralight journey, it is an exciting option. Regards, Wayne Whitley

@harbourwoodlandvisitor2445

being someone who knows little about aircraft. why does this light aircraft have two separate ignition systems for the engine as mentioned in this video. if one becomes defective in flight will the other keep the engine running until you can land safely?

Looks like somebody is getting a feel for this flying business! Just a couple comments from a crusty old pilot, - try to remember to always keep a hand on that throttle lever on takeoff to prevent inadvertent loss of thrust , - your flight instructor misspoke when describing that inclinometer (ball in the tube), it has very little to do with roll attitude and everything to do with coordinated flight! Roll up into a coordinated steep turn and see where the ball is; it better be centered! Good job on the video and editing!

Well said. That ball needs to be close to centered. That's why God gave us roll and yaw. Cheers. Use that rudder!

The Cotton Patch, Thank you for your comment. The Challenger II does not have flaps, but it has elevator trim using a crank above the pilots head. Best of luck in your training. Regards, Wayne Whitley

Brother should be letting you fly the entire time, and he is OVER-coaching. That's why it has taken you so long to learn to fly. It's not you, it's him.
