Thanks mate. I must admit after a million people have seen my bad landings, I am tempted to do a good landings vid!

Absolutely, your instructor’s demeanor is flawless, absolute pro.

@@kristopher850 Couldn't agree more. I have had instructors in the past who would get angry at you for making a mistake while LEARNING to fly. Do they sometimes forget the reason the student is learning is because they don't know how to fly perfect and that errors should be expected and corrected in a low stress learning environment. Credit to the instructor I am envious of Romeo Juliet Whiskey I wish I had that instructor.

Cause the instructor doesn’t want to die

Appreciate your video here. Helps me to get 1 step closer to flying

PUSH THE BRAKE

"Brake. BRAKE YOU USLESS CUNT." "Dad we're 200 yards from the junction." That's how I remember it xDD

Joshua Akester 😂😂🤣 UK dads be like

Ohana means family, family means don't teach each other how to fucking drive!

lolll same

Yeah Bruce is great. As long as its safe, having an instructor that allows you to make mistakes is the best way to learn.

A CFI has to let the student go as far as possible but he can still save it if needed.

Bruce B Wow ...that's cutting it close!

GSOaviator I swear that was my first thought too after watching the first two landings, great CFI indeed!

GSOaviator instructors have some fucking balls.

💯

Glad to hear it could help.

Was going to say the same thing....he IS good.

kindersley weather is nice to see if 7 the same time as a result

Soaringcentra

He literally so chill LOL

Agreed

Intense Productions Inc. Thanks for your feedback. The instructor did a great job...and it makes such a difference having a good instructor in the long run

If you fly a 340 then I am Peter North !

@@mango7862 Hey Peter!

Carter Kamphuis what we're NOT trying to do is put the nose on the ground

Houston we got a problem

I made a hard landing once. As soon as we stopped the instructor, opened the window, looked down and said, "Ok, good. We still have landing gear."

The instructor is a dream!

*Pilot lands* Pilot drives of the runway* xD

mark radiouk thanks mate.... good to get feedback from people in the industry

Mark Vlogs Daily Jesus, landing an airliner is nowhere close to landing a cessna, I mean is it really that hard to land one or is it just a myth ??

J Malone you're acting like its impossible for an actual airline pilot to comment on a video.. Sad.

J Malone Ironic.

Lies I just checked ur utube and all u do are simulators on ur tablet and ur mavic drone and have nothing to do with actual planes

Infinite flight tries to hard to be realistic it goes beyond realism and just ends up being unrealistic again.

Ángel López EXACTLY, ITS A GAME

Saem

Ángel López actually you need to get out of KZfaq now

I'm playing right now. Have a long flight plan on autopilot. Just crashed into Mountains on the last one...forgot to set my altitude higher than the mountain tops :/

yeah. that's the attitude i need, right there.

lol. this instructuctor is fedup of life

Almost died = didn’t die.

@rihardo123 yeah like ultra death

CFI life lmao

I'm a pro pilot and his landings don't look much worse than many of mine when conditions are poor (direct 30kt crosswinds, low level wind shear, variable winds) just keep rocking it and try to develop a feel for what that particular aircraft requires as far as correction is concerned. If not comfortable go around. If second guessing a bounce go around.

Carl Engel - How do you become a pilot? Like every step?

The requirements are listed in the Federal Aviation Regulations, which can be found on the FAA's website. Part 61 is a good place to start reading.

Wollongong doesn't have an ATC, We just state intentions. But we do have an ATIS and AWIS. As well as a computer system that replies with "Wollongong Traffic" after each transmission, However, if the transmission happens every 30 seconds let's say. A few beeps come your way meaning your starting to overuse the radio.

Lmao 😂

lol

After seeing this they offered to pay for the rest of his training and gave him a job

😂😂😂

Lol

In small aeroplane you have to have a steep descend like youre pointing the nose at the numbers on the runway. It felt very strange when I first had to do it - like you’re dropping like a brick is what it feels like

Agreed

So many likes but no comments

@@Arnavshahmr just pure agreement

Alpha A better landing is when you can use the aircraft again

that is great landing:)

Alpha 30sec repair times

Thanks kawolski

Alpha ...mmmmm...no. Those are mediocre words.

President Nixon’s pilot told me he once crash-landed a plane of which there was nothing left when he was first learning how to fly. So...don’t feel bad at all.

bonbondesel Couldn't agree more

bonbondesel Even till this day now that im flyig with him he completely habded me controls on my first circuit lesson for a touch and go, feet off and all I look at him and he had his eyes shut like he wasnt there and it creeped me out lol. But either way he is really good with alot of things around the airport as well, He knows some of the pilots by name so he sits there and is all, Hey mike you can go around us and take off (Cause we were taking our time on run up) so kind, Patient yet safe to fly with I would not give him up for an instructor ever,

Definitely, I noticed the same thing

yes

balu maganti wow.... I'd have a permanent hole in my thigh if my instructor did that...lol.

Change of instructor if it's still the same ! I'm not in aviation anymore, could not afford the price of licences, etc.. But I can tell you one thing. The first instructor I had was not letting me really learn. I changed and I got my first solo fly very quickly ! The new one trusted me and put me in the worst situations while being able to recover any time to push me to learn about my own mistakes. This was one of the best experience in my life that still brings me things in every day life. Stalls with high speeds and full throttle, deviating with the winds, pushing the rudder on the wrong direction in a crosswind landing, let me unlock my seat before takeoff just to tell me: "hey ! How do you fly the plane now that the controls are out of reach ? Remember: this is exactly how fatal accident happens !" Even let me not see a failure. Suction was lowering and I was surrounded by moutains with a lack of reference to the horizon and beginning to follow false indications... "Are you not in VFR conditions in moutain flying right now ? Did you notice something strange ?" And me: "Her, like it's painful to maitain errr..." He said "Ok, something wrong ? Don't loose time ! You feel it ! So analyse and action !" I saw this little light pop up and noticed the indicating heading was not right with the outside reference. Wow... The one on the video is the best I've seen !

The aircraft i fly has 3 flap settings, TO, Land and Up, i put my hand near the switch (but not touching it) so i could lower flap as soon as i was within the speed limit and my instructor hit my hand away from the switch...

Ryan.. im not a pilot but it seems like a good lesson in preventing accidental flap changes.

Ryan and Flow, it seems to me that your instructor doesn't want you to lower the flaps until you have the runway assured because they add drag and reduce your glide distance (which wouldn't be great in the event of an engine failure) but you should ask him what are his reasons.

Calm instructor makes for a calm student ...well it helps :)

Its been humbling! Glad you liked the vid!

....and only a fraction of the size of the CFI's.

I hate when that happens. How's your flying going now?

@@mikhailjairnisbett441 rip

@@MaQuGo119 damn bro lol

F

Rip

She’s all good mate lol

We have good pilots, and Australia has a significant place in aviation history.

Hippie With A Cowboy Hat Thanks for your comment mate! I think just flying solo is an awesome accomplishment and something you will never forget. As I progress through my own training, now and 17 years ago, I've realised that learning to fly has been as much, if not more, about my mental journey as it just physically flying the plane.

I'm just over 20 hours into PPL training and I do much better with crosswind landings too lol

When I have a light steady crossind, let's say 5 or less, I find it easier too. It's like you have an invisible wall to brace yourself against.

bingo

You actually don't learn anything from success !! Only from mistakes

And every landing after you can reuse the plane in one piece was a very good landing 😜

After a good landing you can still fly the plane

My first landing had a gust from the west come in at around 5 knotts and I was past the point of no return, left wing dropped as plane stalled right above the runway and rammed full power to climb out. Landed almost alright on the go around though

Same here. Don't know why, but the simple act of just paying attention to where the nose was pointing evaded me in my early hours.

Interesting comment. Where were you inclined to look early in your training?

@@Phineas1626 just in front of the plane, no depth of field, situational awareness, all wrong! Sometimes I glance out the side in a tailwheel to check pitch...

Does it go something like this: “Carry the one! Carry the one! You didn’t carry the one! We’re all gonna die!!!!”

Thanks for your feedback Julian. I remember my first hour of circuits where most of these bad landings happened (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLiUfa2Dts_SYnk.html). At the end of the lesson I felt like giving it all away but I'm glad I didn't. It all starts to click sooner or later. If your a student just realise that nearly every pilot goes through this transition. Landings for me now is what I look forward to the most.

Working on instrument rating now. But remeber my 1st et of landings like yesterday. i remember telling myself " theres no way i can land a plane " lol..

Yea, I'd be like WTF!!! Let go, let go!!! Then I'd grab the controls.

There is plenty of us out there :)

yup! Everyone is like this. Some may not be as fast but you'll get there. Just listen to your instructor on what you are doing wrong and focus when you do it.

what a relief.......I was feeling the same where

Same here....oi

Same!

Aaron Williamson yeah, I lucked out having this instructor during my initial training.

Lol😆 🤣

Ha ha ha

Alabama?

and now with hindsight and a few more hours under my belt I wonder how I was ever so bad

Draviator as someone who fly an airplane with conventional landing gear I can't understand how you can fuck up the landing this way with the most easy landing gear type

Then go get a pilot's licence and uninstal FSX. And on the unlikely chance you've got one, go fly a 150/172 for a while. You'll fuck up. Eventually. Add lack of experience into it and these things are going to happen. RPL for 3 montns and bad landings happen. Hit downdrafts during a 10ish knot crosswind and bounced 20-30 feet into the air, didn't have time to flare or go around beforehand. Stop being a smartass and learn some maturity.

Just guessing here, but I guess you fucked up some landings too. The training is no different in that regard. Transitioning from TW to TC is a lot easier than from TC to TW.

Nice

Thanks TommyT for your kind words. I'd be happy to take you up flying any day!!

I live for people like you and Romeo.

Yes. I used to work at one of the busiest airports in the country, and there were plenty of rude, not cool Aussies.

You're a great person, I can tell. Like what Tommy said, I show respect to people like you. :)

I’m Aussie, there’s a tone of retar-not nice Aussie’s there

Great story mate. Thanks for sharing

Javier Llaneza definately a few eye opening moments for me there. tbh, the light support aircraft are much harder to land than your standard Cessna's and pipers.... these type of aircraft really make you a better pilot imho.

Romeo Juliet Whiskey I did all my student pilot hours on a PA11... top that! haha

Javier Llaneza very jealous.....I would love to fly a cub!

Agreed. Best way to learn is to watch other people doing the wrong thing!

Good to hear mate. Best of luck with the rest of your training
