[IRL] Learning to fly - road to PPL w/ Merseyflight | My first take off! | Episode 3
Рет қаралды 32,443
5 жыл бұрынWelcome to episode 3 of my "Learning to fly" series. In this episode, I take control of the Piper Cherokee, conducting my very first takeoff & also using the radios for the first time - I was super nervous but it was one of the best feelings in the world! We did some general handling & spent time getting a feel for how the Aircraft handles.
I am learning to fly in at Merseyflight who are located at Liverpool Airport (EGGP/LPL).
As always, constructive feedback/comments always appreciated :)

Neil was my instructor, I passed a few months ago. You're in good hands there buddy. Remember, though... Climbing = Power, Attitude, Trim. Descending = Attitude, Power, Trim. I always used to reach for the trim wheel before I'd set either power or attitude, while it didn't always end badly I was almost constantly adjusting the trim. As soon as I got into the habit of trimming to my selected power and attitude things became a lot easier to manage.

I am also overweight about 360lbs and trying to lose some. - I was wondering if you passed the Medical Class 1 or 2 for the PPL? - Are you thinking to pass your CPL > ME > NR > ATPL later on? - How's the difference in the radio communication between real life and sim with IVAO or VATSIM?

Also really impressive shit to go into the real cockpit with such a smooth transition man good shit keep it up :D

Many congratulations to you on your progress. I have my PPL in real life. The only thing that annoys me about the sim community is the sense that just because people can fly a computer screen they automatically believe they can fly in real life. I've watched a few people flying aircraft in P3D and Xplane on KZfaq and Twitch and things like checklists almost become an inconvenience to them yet they claim to be flying "realistically". As RW pilots things like checklists are what are going to save your life! I wish you luck on your progress to becoming a RW pilot, it is a very steep learning curve even at PPL level.

@@gustafpeyron I don't know why myself but he did let me land since he was confident during my time flying at 2,00ft. It really wasn't helpful first time since the left spark plug had blown, which in that aircraft (PA28) is what ais used to start the engine, the right one keeps it running. That was the first recorded incident of the aircraft in around 40 years after coming from Florida before moving up to Sweden and finally to Southern England. I will not reply after this since it is wasting my time.
