Excellent flying, I love how you explained everything, read loud the checklists and routine.

Love the POV angle 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 would love to see more like it

As a meteorologist myself, I love how pilots like yourself become amateur meteorologists. You are always aware of the weather, and the potent squall line to your west. You understand why the cumulus is away from the cumulonimbus anvil to your east (where it's clear creating low level instability), while to the west you can see the approaching squall line with anvil tops lowering as the storm approaches. Nicely done.

39 minute long vid from Josh, bout to be lit.

"I don't know where Runway 8 is, sir!"

ATC at San Marcos is always interesting to listen to. I wish you would put out more videos like you did back when you were Mr. aviation. I enjoy these flights where it is if I’m just sitting in the seat next to you enjoying the ride. Love all the new content, don’t get me wrong. But there’s something casually enjoyable about these older videos. One of these days I’ll make a flight down to San Marcos and I’ll buy you some Tex Mex and we can talk aviation. From a fellow Texan, thanks for the content.

Loving the mix of 1st Person and 3rd Person videos! Keep it up!

Great Video like the POV aspect. This is my 1st month of Patreon with you. It's fun watching videos & glad to be able to help you

This is one of my favorite instructional videos you do for just the basics. Keep up the good work and much appreciated!

This was one of your most detailed videos Josh. Appreciate that man. Really explaining all the details helps us newbies really gather the big picture.

I have to say, I love this video, one of your best I've seen in a long time, cheers from good ol Canada, happy flying!

The first person is awesome and as a person working on my private pilot license, it is always nice to hear a seasoned pilot explain everything he is doing and what it all means. Keep up the videos, they always make my day :)

Really enjoyed this shorts flight. Nice and clear footage. Tanks 😊

This was one of your best. A very detailed description of everything that was going on. Great narration!

Great video as usual, love to watch and listen to you, I always learn something new, Thanks for making these videos.

Josh, as always another great video on flying and great instructions. I am not a pilot, but I really enjoy your videos and enthusiasm for flying. Keep up the great work.

Love the use of the checklist and running down the memory aids on each step of the flight, keep them coming!

Love your video's. Thanks MrAviation101. Gonna watch on the 55" 4K Ultra.

Another awesome video. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the flight. I like your explanations of what is required for communication with tower. I like how you show the gauges and explain what is going on.

Fantastic video and explaining everything the whole way! Thumbs up 👍

Very educational! Just. ...... AWESOME - WOW

Been watching your videos. It feels like being in the planes with you. Thanks for sharing and tour of your home.

I know this is 4 + years old niner niner one, but I really enjoyed the entire flight.. so nice. Thanks

Thank you for all your absorbing, instructional videos.

thanks josh fort explaining what you are doing and why. Makes it so much easier to understand.. appreciate your vids.. canyon lake guy here.

Thank you, great video.. Love the head camera view. Sitting at my SIM controls flying the turns and approaches while watching.

Well done Josh, keep it coming!!!

Enjoy such good instruction! Thanks for the video!

😍😍😍. Awesome video. Lave these!

Thank you - you finally explained why you count three seconds when lowering flaps. I always wondered why, now I know it's because the flaps switch needs positive pressure to continue dropping the flaps. I have been watching for eight months now and never figured it out.

Josh, great video! I would love to see a POV IFR sometime. Keep up the good work!

Great video Josh, thanks :)

Awesome flight. Thanks for sharing this.

I am going to practicing no-flap landing for the first time tomorrow (with an instructor), and your video came out at the perfect timing for me :)

hey Josh, great video as always, we love the point of view style of videos! sad that the storms moved in, but cool to see a good video. I've been watching your videos since you were flying 152's @KAUS and I continue to love them. speaking of solos, today I had my first solo and I think that your videos have been an inspiration to me and it makes me happy to see people sharing the beauty of aviation with others. have a great day and sorry about the long comment

Hello. Neat point of perspective! 😁 I love all ur videos! 💖🎆

Great video! Very educational, nice ride.

I really enjoy your videos. Ive been watching for a year or more. Thanks for doing a great job. Im a lsa pilot so the tower is foreign to me. Love the instructional tips. Thanks.

That was a great shot flight, Great Work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

hey good tips it really help me out love the vid and the pov keep up the good work

Hello, johs !! Beautiful this video! It is a gold mine. The video is complete and quality! You send us a lot of serious and professional information! Congratulations! Congratulations for your videos that you make available to serious Internet users. thank you.

I love this, hope to see more in the future!

Love the full flight video, nice tour of the area,

Ha! I just watched your Catalina episode yesterday, and chastized Alicia for the LA speak "the 5, the 405" etc. It occured to me in this episode that it is totally acceptable when referred to as you did, "the Interstate". LOL,

Very good video. I love the cessna 172

I enjoyed this flight, I am currently in the process of revalidating after a 5 year lay off from flying. hopefully only a few hours of refresher needed to be successful. Keep up the good work Josh.

Good situational awareness. I've had flights that due to weather I had to make last minute changes. I knew some pilots that didn't. I appreciate your flying skills and knowledge & how you always explain the flight.

Just curious, have you ever met the San Marcos Tower ATC guy?

Really nice landing!!

I liked this a lot.

Keep it up ( no pun intended), I'll be buyinga t-shirt or a hat! Thanks, especially for all the detail😎

You gotta love TX weather this time of year. You guys have been hit harder this year than we have in Houston.

Great video👍🏼

BIG thumbs up on this one!!!!

You make it look so easy, Had my first flight lesson today. Deffenantly not easy.

This is an excellent logistical flight. This kind of video, to which you are excellent at... Is one that inspires my pipe dream of taking flying lessons and getting my pilots license to learn....

solid gold..right on^^

cool, still would like to see the yoke turning as it controls the flight surfaces. Thanks for the video, Btw I never saw any concrete Tower, glad you did.😁

That was a nice pleasant video. It is always good to see what a pilot has to do, even on a local flight.

Great video as always thanks for sharing. I would recommend a more aggresive leaning when taxiing so you can avoid those dirty mags. Try leaning until you get a little engine roughness and then enrichen just enough so that you can taxi out normally and keep those cyl head temps high.

Funny how you mentioned people driving a long way to shop at the outlets. I live in Stuttgart Arkansas (southeast AR) and we would drive down every year to shop when I was younger. Now, I am proud to say I own a 172 and can fly down anytime!

I live in Seguin tx which is about 15-20 miles from San Marcos. I love your vids

Very much like the pov!

Perfect example of how to take the plane out for some local fun and not let a flying day go to waste Hope they find that missing temperature and dew point they couldn't have wondered off too far 😁

super vidéo bravo félicitations.

Nice video.

Thanks Josh.

Enjoyed this. Never sure why you counted down your flaps now I know. Thanks

Thanks for explaining why you always count to 3 when using flaps.

this is a great video for me to warm up what i have learned in PPL training. Would you please upload some videos on all sorts of maneuvers in the future, such as stalls, steep turns etc.?

I like the POV camera. Feels exactly like when I fly X-Plane in VR. I wish I could see my hands :)

Nice!

A fun video saw this before. Great demonstration of good airmanship. Your students are lucky if they get you as a CFI because I can tell you wouldnt do it just for $ or hours. I am a Private SEL with many hours and I learned some things here. Keep it up kid.

Had to do a no slats no flaps landing A320 for type rating about a year ago - kinda squirrely

Hey, awesome video. Question thou, how come you didn't do a mag check when shutting down and also slowly lean the mixture to see a rise in RPM before opening it fully?

great video as usual, I watched this a couple times, I wish you can make a video with foreflight on screen so I can follow on my ipad.

i always thought you was suppose to go around or go above a thunderstorm, but 2 days ago i seen a Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche fly right over my house, with big black rain clouds he was flying at 7,000ft at 194mph, 10 mins later he was at 10,000 ft. very weird he was flying at all

I always use at least 1 notch. Fixed but I think that's 15 degrees. Book suggest using two. I usually try and slow it down as much as I can when in ground affect. Love this airplane bought in 1989 before finished permit.

Josh, great record and commentary as usual -- well done! I am a licensed pilot and my circuit training indicated to perform pre-landing checks on the downwind (performed mine usually after the tower call) -- specifically the fuel tank, mixture, straps, etc, etc - noticed you did yours after turning final. Do you have any thoughts on doing some of the pre-landing checks on late downwind (perhaps because of it possibly interfering with other air traffic?). Look forward to your thoughts!

Good video, are the warnings you mention from the ipad part of foreflight or some other app?

Good show! Boy, the Go-Pro and the audio recorder make recording a flight a piece of cake, looks like, LoL. :)

One thing I might add to your shut down. Check the grounding of the mags. I usually do it but i was getting complacent as it always checked good. Then on day as i moved the prop to horizontal to hook up the tow bar. The mag fired and thought i broke my shoulder. I was OK but the p lead had broken in flight that day. I will never forget to check it again... I love the vids and have watched every one. My 6 year old asks every week if you have posted a new vid yet as we sit and watch together. I think she has a crush on you.... Safe flying

Enjoying your videos, Josh. Prior to entering the active, you run through checklist items without a checklist in hand. Do you use a memorized mnemonic which cues you to run through that checklist? If so, what is it? Thanks.

Hi! Love the videos! What's your iPad application called? Much love from Italy and from a fellow pilot. Keep up the awesome work!

“Control the altitude with power” and pitch after power right? I got a little nervous doing an approach once because I was dumping throttle and the pitch wasn’t changing (high drag line plane and I wasn’t using trim to hold my airspeed because it was a light plane... a very light plane) so I kinda figured you have to adjust the pitch after the throttle changes but absolutely 100% adjust the throttle before the pitch for altitude. I mean have you experienced anything like that is what I am saying fair?

Hey Josh. I believe you have been misinformed about the term "Region of Reverse Command". I have heard you use the term before in similar circumstances as mentioned in this video. While there are phases of flight were pitch controls airspeed and throttle controls altitude (such as climbout or on approach) this is not technically the Region of Reverse Command (RORC). The Region of Reverse Command is that area of the airspeed envelope below the airspeed at which the aircraft achieves Max L/D. When below this airspeed, if you want to fly slower, it will require more power to maintain that airspeed. For example, if your Max L/D is 75 knots the power required will be a certain value. If you slow the aircraft to 65 knots, it will require MORE power to maintain level flight. Slow to 55 knots and it requires even MORE power. (I tried to include a diagram but it wouldn't let me. Check out this link i1.wp.com/aviationglossary.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/region-of-reversed-command-e1440993799148.png ) On climbout, you are at full throttle, so you must use pitch to control airspeed, so it seems that are in the Region of Reverse Command, but your climbout speed Can be Higher than Max L/D (such as an enroute climb), so you are no longer in the Region of Reverse Command, but are just limited by maximum power available. I hope this clears things up.

What does spinning the mixture knob do?

really enjoy your videos, keep posting please p/s: how much was the fuel cost for your Cessna 172 ?

I would fly with you anytime MrAviation101. You are the perfect pilot.

@MrAviation101 what is the program/service you are running on your tablet as map display?

Totally random question. As you were taxiing to the runup pad, I saw a blue line that joined with the yellow taxi line. I haven't seen that before. I fly out of KPWM. What is the significance of the blue line? Actually, it was before you made the turn to taxi to the runup pad.

What software are you using on your ipad? Could you describe what equipment you us to record video, audio and atc.. I'm a student piot and would like to have the same setup. Thanks

Love those Texas high school football stadiums that are bigger than the ones for some D1 colleges.

Personally when there is traffic on final less than three miles I don't tell tower I'm ready to take off. I already know his response is going to be hold short until traffic lands. Once the traffic passes the threshold I say ready to go at runway whatever because he could tell me to hold short or taxi onto the runway and hold short. Saves time and talking.

Excellent camera position. I felt like I was the one flying the plane. You know, after I possessed Josh.

What is the app name are you using to see the whether and all the information please . Tank you

@MrAviation101 that's an incorrect description of the region of reverse command. The region of revers command is where increased power permits slower flight. i.e. slower than minimum drag speed.

Can you do a video going through the equipment on board? Also can you come to KEMT in SoCal sometime thats where I fly and that would be awesome! Lmao

Looks beautiful, what is that app on the iPad?
