Analyzing your skill level and where your confidence is versus where it should be is tricky! This video breaks down the four categories of unconfident incompetence; unconfident competence; confident incompetence and lastly the holy grail of confident competence. Here are my thoughts!

I had several motor outs early on in my progression while using my own equipment after I got out of training, including several motor outs on launch. I eventually discovered the causes and fixed them but it got in my head. I'm well on my way to working through it now. As a positive, I am now hyper aware of always having an out and to give myself plenty of room ahead of me on launch.

@liftedppg4370 Год назад

Definitely a positive to be aware of two stroke nature! I’m glad you are getting past the stress of your past experience. 🤙🏻

@drewmortenson Год назад

I really needed this video Micah, thanks! I'm well set in the second quadrant, mostly I find myself doubting if my decision making skills are up to par. I just never feel confident that the decision I'm making is a good one, and that probably keeps me safe, but it leads to me often staying grounded when I might be perfectly capable of flying.

Your videos have helped sooo much, just got back from training in April down at Aviator and I'm about to go for my first solo flight back home here in Alaska. I've been nervous about it and your videos have helped to remind me of the skills I was taught at training and calm me down! Wish you luck and hope your channel grows to be as big as Tucker's!!

Cheers Clayton! This is why I have this channel, it is awesome to hear that it’s helping pilots like yourself 😄🤙🏻

Bottom left for me. I always tell myself 'i got this'... sometimes I'm mistaken, but sometimes not. Thanks for the vid!

Stay safe brother!

Still in quadrant 1 until I can get some training completed. Great video, there is so much to learn and it's important not to let impatience and or overconfidence get me into trouble. Good to know that we all face these same issues to some extent and we have to work through them . A good instructor is a must, but then when we are finally on our own, we need the confidence to keep pushing ahead, but not too fast. Thanks for this information.

@liftedppg4370 Год назад

Absolutely Wayne! You have a great foundation once the time comes. Thanks for your support, as always!

@davespeer3293 Год назад

Great stuff as usual Micah. I'm self-admitting that I'm in the southwest quadrant on your grid. Knowing that I don't want to become complacent, your video confirmed my need to further my training. I just signed up for a PPG3 course. Also, can't wait to see you fly in Taylor Park, where I grew up!

@liftedppg4370 Год назад

Cheers Dave! Keep it up man, these are phases that we will always be working through weather it is learning advanced acro or how to kite. Taylor park is in the near future, weather is starting to get goooood!

@Drawflyswim Год назад

Another great explanation Micah. I see myself sitting in the second quadrant of competent but not confident. Fortunately the prolonged windy conditions near my home have forced me to just practice a lot of ground handling, talking my way through the steps, taking deep breaths and frequent PPG Bible reading. Hopefully this is allowing me to make small regular deposits into my confidence bank account. It may be awhile before I can fly again but every experience is a learning experience and I refer to your channel a lot. Thanks again for your dedication and wisdom!

I’m so excited to hear about your first flight back in the sky!

As a guy who just started learning how to play the drums I can preach on repetition and muscle memory. I'll sit down and try to learn something new. I'll start thinking I can't do it and I'll get into my own head. Then suddenly one day it'll click and I have no issues paying what I was trying to learn. Almost to the point where it's impossible not to play it.

@liftedppg4370 5 месяцев назад

Have experienced the exact same thing, can get in rhythm ruts playing the drums haha

@lobbyrobby 5 месяцев назад

@@liftedppg4370 how long have you been playing? I'm enjoying it for the most part yet sometimes I feel like I made a mistake trying to be a drummer lol. Granted I just do it the fun of it and I don't ever plan on being in a band or anything. If I could just rock out to a few different songs I'd be happy.

I'm in the second upper right quadrant. I feel I've started to move out as I learn from my mistakes, but the healthy amount of safety I put into my flights helps me have a good safety net. Always appreciate your support bro!

@mn1k174 Год назад

Excellent video. 👍Like to suggest a topic….Something often referred to but rarely explained: “Active Flying.” It would be brilliant to get a vid from you on this - why you need to do it, when to do it, how to do it. Just sayin’ 😊 ATB.

Love it, thanks for the idea!

@Quentin314 Год назад

Micah, 1000 hrs really? How do you measure that? Is there a multiplication factor at play? Taking student training hours into account? I need to know so I can stand on your shoulders and your experience to be the best pilot I can be.

@liftedppg4370 Год назад

Lol, no multiplication factor. Just 200 hrs per year on average since 2018! Admittedly it’s not a kosher statement to make without religiously recording flight times in a book, but engine hours are a good way to estimate 🤷🏻‍♂️ Keep me honest Quentin! Hope you are well 😄

@Quentin314 Год назад

@@liftedppg4370 I was thinking about flying all day, can I count those hours too?

@TONYPARAMOTOR Год назад

hmmm. can i check you?how many years have u been flying paramotors? how many air hours have you? then ill compare with me... my psychology and competence.quote "unconfident incompetence; unconfident competence; confident incompetence and lastly the holy grail of confident competence." geez are you on summit.? the parrot

@liftedppg4370 Год назад

Definitely not on the summit! I still have a lot to learn. I do not record my hours and I’ll calculate them based on engine hours which is not perfect. It’s not too kosher of me to make that statement without keeping a book, admittedly. Been flying since 2018 with about 250 hrs each year.
