First Flight Ever! Private Pilot Lesson One!

14:10 first landing (Auburn s50)
28:00 second landing (Norman Grier s36)
41:00 last landing back at KPLU.

Long video but it’s pretty much the whole first flight lesson from start to finish.

Lesson 1 Private Pilot! The student flew well, but this is a normal first flight for my students. I don’t always add the second airport landing if they are struggling ,but he was doing great and was still seeing outside (learning ).

So we started out heading for KTIW (Tacoma Narrows airport ) but things got busy over there so I diverted to S50 ( auburn airport ) for a landing and then we took off and headed over to S36 ( Norman Grier airpark , formally known as Crest) for another landing. Crest is fun since its an airpark with private homes lining the runway on both sides.

I started flying last April, became a CFI last month, and now teaching my first student his first flying lesson tomorrow. Great video to watch before I start teaching real students!

Brings back memories and I will never forget my solo flight. Instructor said to take him to the terminal he needed to use the bathroom. He got out and said, now, do what you do best and give me three takeoff with full stop. I went numb all over but my brain/training knew what to do. Well I took off, but instead of three takeoff and full stops, I did three touch and goes. Came back and Al Sevi the instructor said great job with the touch and goes. Then it hit me... Full stops. He laughed and shook my hand and said take me back to where we started. That is where it started.

"See the helicopter? Watch out for those stupid things." HAHAHA!!!

I just did my intro flight yesterday, and first real lesson tomorrow. This makes me feel better about how overwhelmed I felt after my first taste of the airplane controls. It's a LOT of information all at once, even going in roughly knowing in theory how it all works.

I’m getting my ppl right now I’m 14 years old these videos are so helpful

What a fabulous first lesson! Student was really kept on his toes, too. Great teacher!

[crossi]

Great job. Im on my 5th hour of lessons and can totally relate to this student..There is a lot thrown at you all at once! I thought He did great. bravo!

I’m 15 and I took my first lesson a few weeks ago for my ppl and this video really helps me. It is weird seeing the areas that you know well from above. The first flight is an experience I will never forget.

I love how the CFI said " Look outside and all this is junk".

[spgvideo]

This was a great video. I wanna do lessons even more now. For a first flight he really did a lot!

[Harlanmote]

You did well, just never get complacent, Fly the plane the same way every time. 👍

Like mother birds prepare their baby's to leave the nest, the journey begins. Great video and a excellent CFI. See you in the next one!

I’m visually impaired and really want to be a pilot but of course I can’t. Thank you for your content that makes me feel like the student :)

You guys both did great ! lots to learn but got a lot done ! I can't believe you landed on your first lesson that's awesome.

[Donity]

Amazing. I would like to get my PPL someday, I'm already researching when I'm 12 years old, and I really want to get started with lessons. CANT WAIT! This whole thing seems confusing...

Nice! Good student, good CFI! I enjoyed the whole video.

Too much talking from the Instructor Pilot - should just be a lesson on emphasizing the visual references of VFR. Also not enough emphasis on technical terms. "Give me 23", should be "Set Power at 2300 RPM on the tachometer". A more specific instruction will translate exponentially when check-ride time comes, because the FAA Examiner doesn't know what, "Set power at 23" means. The lesson is littered with these non-specific terms. IMHO.

Great job taxing and landing for a first lesson students!!!

[DanUT]

Man that's an intense 1st lesson. I'm 4 mins in and already want a drink! lol

[bagels]

I really enjoyed the video! I passed my cfi ride 2 days ago and I'm excited to start teaching.
