Landing A Cessna 172 | Flight Training | How to Airplane ✈️ 

Thanks! He did awesome !

NERO AVIATION Yes I agree, great instructor talks the student through well.

Yeah it makes it tough to learn when your instructor is wound up. Glad you didn’t just accept it like a lot of student do. If your not clicking with your instructor then try another don’t settle if you can help it. I actually have had a few students that don’t like how I teach/instruct, but it’s all about the student learning so I don’t take offense (to each his own.) Thank you for the awesome comment ! I appreciate it !!!

Uh huh

Bobby cuz if you used more words the plane would crash due to being task saturated 😂 what you want to say is What the heck are u talking about?

When I start my lessons I’m going to say.... “if you say so!!!”

Say what??

Where was the egg yolk? On the yoke?

I did that, too! On my very first lesson I did the death grip with both hands in level flight at 1200ft when a sudden hearty gust of wind blew the tail upward and nosed us down a bit. That spooked me for a moment--it was actually my first time in a small plane in anything more than calm winds.

The ol’ white knuckle death grip. Three fingers is the goal.

I took a flight lesson in the same type aircraft. Ours had the glass panels though.

You can still do it tho.

Do it man!!! Never too late!👍👍...I had my private pilot for 10 years, then finally got my instrument and then commercial . Best thing I could have done . Plus o learned so much

It's never too late. Flying can be a great hobby (although expensive). Don't give up on your dreams.

My thoughts exactly! I also quit after a while (10 hrs) partially because I had a young instructor with very little patience and personality. It was over 30 years ago and it still bothers me to this day that I never went back. Now I can't afford it.

Yeah the power out “plop” over and over again is not really teaching them how to land but how to time the Cessnas landing so it’s soft. Where as using power your landing the plane when you want not just when the plane quits flying. Just be careful with the slow flight down the runway, there’s a reason the ACS says 1500 ft. I always tell my students not to do it on their own. It’s a great teaching tool though and you don’t see many instructors that even know to use it.

Awesome ! Have fun !!! Thanks for watching !

Hey Rosemary thank you for watching. Don’t stress you’ll do great ! Fly more and have fun. I have 5 terabytes of video ! I just got new editing software and my braces come off next month ( so i can do voice overs again). Ill try to get videos up on a regular basis this year ! I need to hire a editor lol. Ill see if I cant make another landing video asap (they seem to be the most popular anyway). Here is a list of private pilot check ride prep. I go over it a few days before my students go on their check-rides. Maybe see if you have a local “cheat sheet” or “gouge” also. docs.google.com/file/d/1JwwTS3Ct0HreG-zxvsBfZrg_mKuWVh0r/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msword

Thank you for your service! I was 19D and had a blast in the army ... even if I didn’t know it all the time. Once your home you’ll miss the army, lol.

I’m taking that as a complement lol . Thanks for watching!

Yeah, treating the yoke like a steering wheel can be a tough habit to break.

Hmmm I'm actually gonna try that. Can't keep their hand on the throttle or focus on the pedals... So they will only get to touch those and I have the yoke for this takeoff lmfao

Thanks! More videos on the way !

Thank you! You won’t regret getting your pilots license! (Your bank account might regret it, but you won’t lol ). I have a student that pretty much taught him self to land watching my videos. He hired me after watching all my videos over and over and surprisingly he learned a lot from them all I had to do was work on his confidence to implement it and tweak a little here and there.

Don’t use videos for learning purposes for flight it might help knowing what knots is or what altitude is if u want to learn u need to learn and be there yourself be in that seat flying that plane taking off and having an instructor

What's the update on the availability ?

Thanks ! I’m actually the CFI so lots of videos on the channel like this one! Thank you for watching and the complement !

Great advice! “You can always go around” Student can get in the mindset that go arounds mean they are failing when in fact it shows they are in control and making good decisions. I like to see go arounds ! Thanks for watching!

My first takeoff was behind a FedEx DC10 in Memphis and my first landing on that flight was in front of a FedEx DC10. The takeoff didn’t bother me but seeing that huge plane to my left as I turned final scared the crap out of me.

I get stressed all the lights off using headset in my sim at home. sims are good training tools ! Have fun and landing in sims can be harder then real life ... not enough feedback. Sims are all visual so its challenging to land.

Yeah, C172s are pretty amazing! Forty plus years of student landings and they are still flying great!

@@NEROAviation Thanks you Nero

Get out and do it! I miss flying after only a few days.

Lol 😂 thanks for watching! Got a little squirrelly there for a second.

Thank you !

Suction cup to the top of the front window. I have a 12inch arm on my suction mount and it works well with the go pro. Just make sure you get the hands in the video ! I have deleted a lot of boring video that just shows the front panel and the view out the window.

Thanks ! He struggled later don’t worry lots of bad landings in later lessons lol. Landings are harder when you try to land. The Cessna 172 should get half the credit for most landings anyway ( the good half at that). Thanks for watching! Stay light on the controls and as you flare keep building back pressure until it looks like takeoff ... maybe a 1/4 or less of the runway will be visible over the cowling. As you build back pressure you also have to build right rudder pressure to keep the nose straight. Also don’t “ try to land” just burn off the airspeed just above the ground until it sets down gently. Now forget all that ...fly more and have fun !

Its an awesome area to learn in ! So many awesome landmarks, cool airspace , and airports all over! Say hi to Colton

Yeah that’s right there is no mention of trimming the airplane at any moment or through the video ! Maybe that comes with the time

Hey Josh, I apply pressure on take off roll slowly building it till the plane takes off on its own. I feel the elevator coming alive as the air /aircraft starts to pick up speed. You should end up with the yoke pulled back to the position you’ll need for climb out. I don’t yank the plane off I let it take off and climb out with little to no change in yoke position. If I have to make a change I used too little or too much elevator. I like having positive pressure on my rear landing gear. If you do the Vr and yank method you get a little squirrelly before you start flying depending on wind and the aircraft. There might be a good reason for the Vr and yank method in larger aircraft I don’t know. For small aircraft where you can feel your elevator I suggest building pressure slowly until lift off keeping positive pressure on the landing gear. Thanks for watching and the insightful question !

Thanks for the thorough reply. I really do appreciate it. Keep up the good work captain! 👨‍✈️ most importantly... stay safe!😎😎😎

I think Rob Schneider said it best ....” You can do it! “ . Thanks for watching and best of luck ! Good landings or bad landings just have fun and fly more !

Any landing where the wheels are on the ground is a good landing! LOL

Glenn Anderson and, how did it go?

I don’t believe it.

I’m sure it wasn’t that bad... and if a student does too well I have to show them all the wrong ways anyway. Just have fun and keep at it!

Awesome I’ll check it out !

Hopefully you’ll have a blast ! Have fun !

Get your private! It’s totally worth it!

Just a CFI... CFII is an instrument instructor. I like to build back pressure little by little as the controls “come alive “ . Air is moving over the control surface as you start your takeoff roll ... try to feel it. Usually about 40 knots You should feel the controls easily. And the plane wants to fly soon after. At about 40 knots ( in a Cessna ) you should be building back pressure to the same point you hold for climb out pitch angle ... if your going further than that your wasting motion and pulling the plane off the ground and then your fixing the issue by pushing forward. When I fly I try to limit wasted motion and look for ways to minimize my control inputs in order to improve my own piloting. best of luck! If it’s real windy that’s a matter of experience and you’ll just have to learn to ride the wind.

172 you rotate at 55 level the nose until speed builds up and climb out at 75. Purchase a POH for the plane you're training in and read it. CFI's not only expect you to do a little studying on your own it will vastly cut down on the time you spend getting your license.

for a cessna 172, about 55 knots

Everyone slams a few landings. I have had more than my fair share of hard landings. Keep at it!

My first landing was perfect, I got lucky, and my CFI made sure that there were no crosswinds at all that day. The next few were a little rough. I never spilled his coffee though.

Just have fun ! You’ll do great !

You also might listen to LiveATC.net .Radio calls are usually the hardest part for new pilots ... that or landing lol 😂. Don’t worry about it for the first flight though.

@@NEROAviation that's a great tip thanks. I'm flying out of a rather large towered airport so that will probably be helpful.

As an instructor you have to watch out for that ... just because a student is acting like / saying they understand doesn’t mean they do. Flying and talking is tough especially on your first few flights under stress. I always tell my students if they remember 5% I’m happy !

@@NEROAviation That is true. I fly a 737-800 in x plane 11, and i find the hardest part of all the process of the flight is the FMC and ATC!

Sweet! We have a new restaurant on the field now so come back anytime! I did hear a rumor that they didn’t serve breakfast though (which is my favorite fly in meal), and crazy if it’s true!

I don’t expect it could have been too bad. First landings are always fun!

I teach the student to use it to remove pressure “ when needed “ When flying the pattern like I teach you won’t need to trim much at all. The trim for level flight is much the same as it is with 40 degrees flaps and a pitch of 65 kts and power set to about 1100. It’s also the same trim setting for takeoff. It works in most planes not just 172s (granted different power and flap settings) Not trimming is common error for students but on the flip side trimming at the wrong times and then re-trimming is a common error for more advanced pilots. “Set the plane where you want it and trim off excess pressure” You should be able to let go of the yoke without seeing a big change in pitch at pretty much any point in the pattern. Thanks for mentioning trim, good point I should have had mentioned it at least a little! I’ll try to post a video on trim and patten work.

I was starting to think the same thing, but then heard him talk about trim at 8:38. It is actually helpful for the new student if the instructor trims as it relieves him of one step, which is easily taught at a later date with no lag in overall instruction. This instructor has good technique so who am I to express otherwise. This student was well above average in his second flight abilities. I thought I was superhuman when I soloed after my eighth hr of instruction. But then again I was 17 and ready to take on the world.

Thanks ! I usually teach putting a finger on the throttle friction lock so I’ll keep an eye/add a warning in the future.

Yep talking about the pitch attitude of the aircraft.

Also add rudder as needed to keep it from drifting left as you build back pressure on the yoke. Looking outside at the pitch and edges of the runway in peripheral vision helps. Great comment thanks!

Good advice ! “Have fun & fly more “ is pretty much all I usually say for a debrief. It’s amazing how much students learn in less than 100 hrs!

Kaimine08 same

Same i just stop with that transmission and start again from the beginning.

Awesome !
