First Flight Lesson for Student Pilot | Flight Training

BECOME A PILOT WITH ANGLE OF ATTACK

GET OUR MERCH
.
. Join us on Sienna's first flight lesson. She's a student pilot working on her private pilot flight training here at Angle of Attack. She recently got the bug, when she did a Discovery Flight. Now she wants to be a pilot.

So here we are. We're in the Cessna 172 that our flight school has, and we're happy to be flying. We'll be trying to do a lesson a week, which is pretty decent.

You can imagine when doing flight lessons, that it's kinda nerve wracking. Everything is new with the airplane, things are kinda different, and it's just a whole new world. That can be intimidating. While it's like drinking from the firehose, it's still a really neat experience. Sienna seems to be having a great time doing it.

For those wondering, Annalynn (famous from here solo video on our channel) is a commercial pilot, and working on her CFI! So she's observing from the back.

I am 68 years old. I've loved airplanes since I was a kid. This is one reason I joined the USAF. Unfortunately I didn't get to obtain my pilot's license. I am unable to get one now due to use of insulin. With that being said, I still enjoy learning the ins and outs of flying. Thank you so much!

[loganbaird]

I am an instructor myself and it is refreshing to see you be so patient with BOTH of them. You let her fly so much by herself and it indicates you took the time to explain terms/items before the flight. Teach why not just what, it was enjoyable to watch!

I need a 24 hour loop of this guy yelling CLEAR

[installergd]

I would want you as a flight instructor. I've seen a lot of flight training vids and some of the instructors are so impatient and borderline rude. I wouldn't be able to handle an instructor like that. There are a lot of great instructors also, like yourself, who are down to earth, personable and friendly. Thank you for being one of the great ones.

Hi there, I’m only a simulator pilot but what I really liked on the lesson is that you made clear that the airplane can fly itself, and how it reacts at low (stall) speed and recovers itself. That makes the student pilot feel safe, giving confidence and trust in the airplane. I can’t imagine a more important lesson at the beginning! 👍

I remember seeing her in a past video when she took a discovery flight. Awesome to see she decided to take the lessons, hope she does well, hopefully we'll see her solo.

[GlennGoryl]

"No known traffic" (or anything else ATC says which gives you permission to take-off) means it's YOUR responsibility (as the pilot) to make sure the runway, base & final approach, and the sky above the runway are clear of traffic.

Confident young lady and a calm instructor very enjoying to watch and learn.

I remember my very first flying lesson! Stapleton airport spring of 1966 and 16 years old with my flight instructor in a 1964 C-150 super excited and attentive. Walk-around inspection, introduction to the instrument panel, radio, start procedure, ground control, and a very long taxi out to runway 17. Runup, mag, and mixture check, call the tower, and a step-by-step procedure monitoring engine rpm, airspeed, and then liftoff. Basic flight maneuvers in the practice area, call approach, and land on runway 26R. An hour and ten-minute flight that seemed like thirty seconds Soloed in seven hours, Private License two weeks after my 17th birthday! Thousands of hours ago...

Very good video. I took 1 flight lesson in a tail dragger at 18 year of age. As I remember, none of the gauges worked, gas gauge was a red rag tied to a wire sticking out of the cowl. To level the flight, you had to level the wings with the horizon. The lesson lasted one hour and I never went back. This is one of my regrets in life. I am now scaring 72 years old. I did get into motorcycles. I have ridden to all lower 48 states on my Harley from Texas. Took 2 trips to get it done.

[SQTierHog]

Fear, fear, fear.
Chris' calm demeanor made sure there was none.
This was enjoyable, everyone seemed relaxed.
Thank you for the ride!

[serverlan]

You are a great instructor. You let her have control of the aircraft most of the time even when she's new. I wish more instructors were like you. Especially when you consider how much it costs to learn to fly...

[msadd]

This is what a students wants as an instructor, someone who doesn’t pressure them and is helpful just as much as you.

[cinthesky]

Watching you teach is delightful. My very first instructor gave me a sour taste of aviation. Constantly yelling at me in the cockpit with no correction or explanation for what I was doing wrong. It only took a few flights with him for me to call it quits and get another instructor. Now that I am currently studying to become a cfi myself, I want to teach the way you do. Flying is such a beautiful experience and I cant wait to share it with those eager to learn the craft. Subscribed!

[weatherbog]

Fantastic vid. I am just starting lessons here in UK at the tender age of 56 and your film really helps. Thank you

[ThatTrendHouse]

I’m 12, but am already considering flight training. I probably won’t become a pilot, but I am very much a plane nerd. I feel like there is always more to learn! So much info, and so many planes.

[chicagorandy]

It is a pleasure to watch a truly skilled professional teacher share the joy of flight with a student. Kudos.

[punishergaming_]

I just wanna say your a great teacher, I have always been interested in flying and just now looking into flight school, this video definitely hooked me and showed me how fun and how a good teacher like yourself can make all the flight talk and terms easy to grasp! Thank you!

[robertwolfe]

I like your demeanor when you are instructing your students. You not only show them what to do you explain it. I wish that I would have started lessons many years ago.
