Learning to Fly - BAD LANDINGS | Student Pilot

Learning to fly and feeling disheartened by watching everyone else's nice landings? This video shows the reality of flight school ... lots of bad landings!

ABOUT ROMEO JULIET WHISKEY:
I'm a student pilot learning to fly in my spare time. I originally received 30 hours of flying instruction 17 years ago and now I'm back in the cockpit and learning how to fly all over again.

Currently flying out of Wollongong (YWOL), Australia in light sport aircraft such as the Jabiru and Pipestrel alpha with Fly Illawarra:

Love how you sir posting your mistakes and how you learnt from it, while everyone else is selecting the best clip to post. Everyone has to start at some point, thanks for making me feel better from the hard landings of my own :D And that's a very good instructor indeed.

how the hell is an airplane instructor more chill than my dad teaching me how to drive while I'm going 15 mph.

[GSOaviator]

Your instructor is so chill about it and isn't stressing you when you're making these mistakes! That's a great CFI right there :)

[Cichorro]

Marvellous instructor. His calming voice while giving tips and his patience is fantastic!

Okay, I am a student pilot who is just starting to solo and I can't even tell you how much this video has encouraged me. I am seeing definite Improvement on my Landings, have had some really good ones, and I've had a few that I certainly wouldn't write home about. It is helpful to see other people botching the heck out of it and still walking away safely, and getting better all the time. Thank you so much!

Being a commercial A340 Pilot, I can tell that it’s incredibly important to not panic and stay calm in these situations and it’s amazing how the instructor didn’t let any of your mistakes discourage you. Great to see that the Flight Training Sessions have improved quite a lot!

I'm a pilot for a airline, want to say your instructor is really good and you doing really well, pilots have to remain calm in every situation, goodluck with the rest of your training.

I love the instructor! “And what are we doing over here?” “Look outside, look outside, look outside.”😂😂😂😂😂

[keithmeline]

Good reminder for me is that most people only post the good landings on social media. You sir are a real one posting your learning process! Thanks for this video!

“What are we doing over here” 😂 What a great CFI. So calm and so patient. Keep up the good work.

Instructor is the best!! He makes nothing an issue!!

[bonbondesel]

This instructor is a MASTER !! He lets the student experiences mistakes to learn from. It's a great instructor. Very confident. Trusting you, knowing his limits, yours and the limits of the plane and of the situation perfectly !
Any student with an instructor like this will learn so much in a small period of time in safety margins.
THIS IS HOW GREAT PILOTING SKILLS ARE LEARNED !!! THE BEST WAY !

Almost died = No problems m8. Cheers, you'll get it next time.

Excellent sample of the real life of a student of a flight school on his first flights. The instructor is a great teacher, always calm and making the student feel safe. Greetings from SADM in Argentina 🇦🇷

I'm a student pilot and all I have to say is thanks homie you made me feel better about my landings

[MrUranium]

your flight instructor is totally relaxed because he's seen at lot worse.

[orbas]

I bet ATCs get a kick out of watching the new guys attempt landings, probably all gather at the window.

[alpbal]

The student is literally rolling over the left edge of the runway just about to have an excursion and how chill the instructor is. Respect.

[TGAV]

Your instructor didn’t seem worried and was completely chilled. Love that. Made for a good experience for you the student.

Never forget a good landing is a landing you can walk away from ;)
