I've been watching your videos since the start of my training about 6-7 months ago. I literelly binge watch your videos all throughout the week. Just wanted to say thank you for the videos. I love your humor and your knowledge. One day I hope to meet you. Hopefully in a few months I'll be ready for that checkride.
I love the Seminole. I have 150 hours between Piper Multiengines, and the Seminole I spent the most time in. Loved that aircraft. Haven't flown Multi in 5 years!
Whoooo that engine failure on the ground would have taken me a minute to relax from! That's intense. Having the plane pull in a direction in the air is one thing, there's nothing to hit, but on the ground, that's scary. Great video as always Lewis!
My plane did its annual at DnJ and they signed me off to fly my plane so the insurance was satisfied. I think it would be awesome to see you get signed off to teach multi engine in the future. So glad to see some fresh content from a whole different platform.
Looks like the MEI could use your FlyingEyes discount code. Two sets of glasses must be a lot of noise leak😜. All joking aside, thanks for letting us in on your trainings.
Funny I was legit thinking about how cool Seminoles look a couple days ago and was wondering what would happen if I said you should fly one haha. Good vid Lew!
I’ll never forget while flying a Seminole and watching a Bonanza streak past me on a cross country. Good ole Seminole: the underpowered brick of the twins. Fantastic for training though.
Seminole is a great trainer for multi, just know the controls are heavy and its a very manual type of plane to fly. Took my multi commercial in that plane and I miss flying that brick.
Great video. Nice to watch the multi engine stuff. Helped me out with some complex airplane stuff too. I'm hoping for the complex endorsement today. I'm early in my RU-vid channel. Was great to hear that you just started posting videos of training and it grew from there. Hoping for the best.
Love your videos, and teaching style! Funny enough I just got my commercial multi and MEI in a PA-44 with the exact paint scheme; 7710k. The company I work for in Iowa purchased 6 seminoles from somewhere down in Florida a year or so ago. Looks like this may be on of them.
super cool vide, as always. Im a student pilot with all boxes checked except the check ride - which im prepping for now - with plans to continue on to complex, multi and commercial... how is it going from ASEL to AMEL? is it a whole new animal or just a slight variation from the norm? GO TEAM PIPER!!!
Thanks! If you're familiar with an Arrow, then you won't struggle in a seminole. There are slight differences but it's easy enough to get to grips with.
Loved the video, maybe they should call that a shipinole since it floats so much :) Why didn't you stop on the runway? Were you beyond V1 when the engine failed?
Thanks mate.. it was a simulated procedure. In the real world I wouldn’t have taken off if something happened on the early roll like that before accelerate go distance.
Hey, in CFI training, you are my role model I think your method of instruction is phenomenal, and I hope my instruction mimics yours! Just wondering, are you a career flight instructor or do you have a desire to go back to the airlines? Or I guess more of a present moment kinda guy haha Thanks for the videos 👍🏼
Ah thank you! That’s a huge compliment.. I actually already was at an airline for about 18 months before getting furloughed. After going back to instruction for a while, I’m assessing my options.
Flying an A36 Bonanza, 214Hrs in the past 8 months so I’m used to positive rate, gear up…. Going through my MEL in a Duchess B76 last week and instructor said the same thing ! Man was I pissed that I missed the gear up…. I was focused on him getting ready to fail one of the engines ! In the end….. the gear wouldn’t retract. Grrr. So, back to land and have to wait until its fixed.
It’s weird how a twin prop once seemed huge and complex, now I’m in 737 training they look very different 😂 are you gonna go back to the airlines at all?
What happens if you had an engine fail during that full power stall ? Nothing go for sure. That check and Vmca demos are nit safe and FAA should stop these killer checks
When he said he was going to fail an engine on the runway, I thought he meant on rotation where you have to climb out from the runway single engine. Isn't that different than a failure on upwind?
clear prop? CLEAR PROP? are you bloody serious? What theF(&**CKING H3ll is CLEAR PROP. I love the sounds of the twin.. i cannot wait until i get to fly one!.... IFR first though.. this year is my instrument year. i need to have LewDix provide me a training flight.
"Clear prop"? "Clear prop"? What happened to you man!!!!!! Was it that it would take too long to say "Remain clear of my propellor. I am commencing engine start" twice?
