First Flying Lesson| Flying Fundamentals

Welcome to the channel JD! In part one I show him how to trim the plane and do a climb and a descent.

There was supposed to be a part 2 to this video, but upon review, the editing didn't meet my usual standards, and so I decided not to upload it. It was a very watered down version of what JD and I did in our next flight. The video of which you can see here:

I really like your teaching style. My instructor was an excellent, skilled pilot. An old guy. Had flown everything. Taught everything. But...his teaching style was gruff. Truly awesome pilot. His instructing, though, kept me on edge the whole time. He made me more nervous than ANYTHING that ever happened with the plane. The most relaxed and relieved I was throughout my flight training was the day I soloed. It was like a weight was lifted when he got out of the Warrior. I would’ve done much better with an instructor like you.

Everyone loves a instructor/supervisor like you at any job, get it done, get it done right, but have fun doing so.

Hey Lex, i would love to watch a full lesson video from start up to landing... idk if others have the same interest, but it coukd be a content idea

[JodelFlyer]

Great video Lewis. Love your instructing style and JD did an impressive job! Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Nate, I enjoy your videos. You have a good teaching style. You are passionate about wanting student to be not just able to fly but make intelligent decision.

I'm a private pilot from Argentina and I really enjoy watching your videos. It's remarkable how you always encourage the students! I think that self-confidence is crucial when you try to learn a new skill like this one. There are not many instructors that understand that idea, at least here in my country. Congrats!

Lex that was very educational. You're a very good CFI mate.

I appreciate you taking the time to spread some aviation tips with a great sense of humor. I began PPL training early in 2019, and was close to soloing when I got tasked for a deployment. Even though I was away, I feel like I was more inclined to continue training upon my return because I kept watching your videos throughout my time overseas. I love aviation, and felt like I was still connected to the community even though I had no access to fly. Thanks for what you do!

Gotta say it again, your style of teaching your students to fly is refreshing as f****! These old german grumpy FI's in my hometown can learn a shit ton from you. Keep it up, man!

I just started my flight school too, very excited!

[Georgewrigley]

That was brilliant. I wish you was my instructor. Relaxed feel and you made it fun. Great video. Thanks for sharing. ✈️👍😊

[monkeybearmax]

Excellent video as per usual thanks Lewis!

[HeadShave]

Hello mate.. gotta say I just subscribed to your channel last week and you are quickly becoming one of my favorites out there. Keep up the brilliant work.. love your style of training, you rock! Keep em coming! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! Too bad all instructors aren’t like you.

I decided to come back to the beginning and I must say... "This is great banter!"

[t_specht]

Just found this great video in a playlist of yours and saw that it was not publicly listed yet... feels a bit like cheating 😂✈️ Awesome to remember how it feels to fly a plane with your own hands the first time, keep up the great work!

[PaulGarthAviation]

Great job. He was doing really well for first flight lesson.

[Juliette_]

Great job. Your student has great instinct

[FrankPenalver]

I randomly asked google is landing hard and this is the fourth video i have watched. I've been up on small planes a few times and I am itching to learn more and this is the perfect channel! Thanks for sharing this!

Good afternoon LewDix. I have followed your channel for a little over a year now and I will say that I have learned a lot of tips and tricks from you! Leaving the trim alone during a climb is definitely one of them :) I recently passed my PPL and I wanted to say thank you for the content you provide and I wanted to wish you the best of luck with the airline stuff given everything that is going on!
