👋 About Me 👋 I started college in 2021 and originally had my eyes set on becoming a doctor. I quickly realized that wasn't for me, so I started studying business and finance while working sales jobs during the summer. After selling Pest Control and a working a finance related internship, I decided to look into becoming a pilot. After a couple flights I was hooked and decided that making money while flying jets doesn't sound too bad!
I decided to create this channel to document my journey towards becoming an airline pilot, help others on their journey, and provide aviation content in general.
Hi Luke, I live in Provo, and am fixing to start ATP there. I’m curious what the overall culture there is, and how your experience has been. Also, does it seem over crowded, or has it felt comfortable? Thx
Do you perchance know what the housing situation is for ATP? I have seen that ATP has partnerships with apartments, but I dont know if they are strictly ATP students or a mix with random strangers not affliated with ATP
@@josegalindo7445 definitely not ideal time to start but since flying would be slower it would give you more time to learn ground knowledge. Depends on your goals
@@FlyWithLukeDoh no I get that. Did you buy the headset from an instructor or something? lol generally the mic comes stock on the left side, closest to the phone and mic panel jacks.
want to get my writtens out of the way before i commit to atp. you mentioned the PAR but what are the other exams i would need before joining the program ?
@@FlyWithLukeD I’m just messing with you…. Trying to throw some comment activity. I will say however, there’s really no usable information over the nose when you’re in a climb. Go back and watch it. Ask yourself “what am I looking at and why”? Is it for alignment? Trying to maintain runway heading? Traffic? Your best visual references are to the side. Practice and repetition make permanent. If you don’t break the habit now, you’ll take it right into your instrument flying. I promise, you’ll take off into a low ceiling and pitch your head up out of muscle memory and bam, you’re spatially disoriented. Just ask yourself what exactly you’re looking for that you can’t get from less head movement and a better cross check… my .2 cents.
How does the 172 fly in Utah with the high elevation? I’ve been flying in California and the 172 is more than enough. Been thinking of buying one when I move there.
@@johnledford134 my only experience flying it is in Utah and Texas mainly and it is decent. With two people in the plane we can get up to 13-14k. But if you have more than that and baggage and fuel and takeoff in the middle of a hot summer day then performance is prettty bad
Is ATP a good school? I have read some bad reviews about ATP like they are lost on students program and progression and that they don’t have instructors available like you are by your own!
I am new to all of this! Do they actually get you flying out this fast? I thought you would mostly do written exams learn stuff than do some flight sims. Than go into actual flying.
It’s really not, unless you have 90-100k to burn to make 60k for 2-3 years before hopefully making 100k for the next 5 and HOPEFULLY not getting laid off and then you make some good money
@@TopODaMernin not sure what country you are from. But go on google and look up how much US airline pilots make. This doesnt even count private contractors who make anywhere from $1500 or $2000 a day. Their is a youtuber who covered this and he made $100k in a single month. Also flight school is expensive I already know this. My friend doesnt go to ATP but he is 2 years in his flight school and so far paid $150k
@@ts27739 definitely not haha. I was considering going to the school and couldn't find a lot of honest videos about students experiences at atp so I decided to make videos to help others see what it's like! Definitely not recruiting for ATP. Just trying to help others and share my journey to becoming an airline pilot!
Weather, density altitude, and even mission can easily make mountain flying maneuvering flight where horizontal space can be more limited than vertical space. This may require steep turns to miss terrain. I liked your steep base to final well enough and since you allowed the nose to go down, it was near 1 g and comfortable for passengers. Canyon turns coming back from up valleys can also be safe and comfortable if you release back pressure in the turn for a 1 g load regardless of bank angle. If cruise airspeed will make the radius uncomfortable, pitch up wings level before the turn and then release back pressure in the turn. This energy management (Wolfgang's law of the roller coaster) safety turn should be default in the maneuvering flight of horizontal space limitations. Pretty country. My sister's husband was at Hill when I was teaching at Tohatchi, NM on the res.
