If you've been following the channel for a while, you will have seen Young Bob's journey through instrument and commercial training. He's blown through those and is now onto finally sitting in the right seat where he will learn how to fly and instruct. This is the first time he has flown for the right side and any CFI will tell you, it's definitely not as easy as it looks.
Watch as Young Bob get's to grips with his new seat and deals with a few unruly student moments along the way!
Enjoy the flight!

It's crazy how watching this I'm laughing and realizing this is exactly what my instructor had to go through with me when I was starting out

@LewDixAviation 2 года назад

Haha we’ve all been there

@formfaktor Год назад

Becoming a CRI right now, so going through some of this as well. This was stellar performance as a FI for the first time! It's so hard to process what goes on, convert it into teachable words and still make it work. Well done!

@daniel281098vip 2 года назад

Good stuff. My instructor would KILL me when I would say “add a little” “little bit more” what does that mean? Do you mean 20 degrees of bank or 60? What’s a little? CFI initial is definitely a handful but it makes you a very good pilot.

@wagnertenor 2 года назад

Me: “we are lined up with the weeds, go left to line up with the runway.” Student: “Your airplane”.

@Peacewind152 2 года назад

This video shows me how much of a pain I am to my CFI. Good lord I don't think I could ever CFI. Requires patience of a saint.

@glennwatson 2 года назад

Wonder if Australians/British people have it easier, since we drive on the correct side of the road in motor vehicles and stuff so we can have our swords drawn at any minute with our dominate hand. Handy in cars and planes really these days.

@miokujou 2 года назад

Bob is going to be a great and fun instructor when he becomes a CFI. Keep up the good work I love it! I wish I lived in the US so that I can get my discovery flight from lewis or bob when he becomes a CFI.

@chrisbrown05819 2 года назад

Current instructor/former airline pilot here. Great job with the CFI teaching! I find the hardest part of teaching is patience. Having the patience to let students mess up without correcting them the 7th time they are doing the same maneuver. Patience I think is the hardest part of any flying job. Not just instructing. Keep up the great work! You’re a great CFI!

@LewDixAviation 2 года назад

Yes I agree, most of this job is patience haha. Thank you Chris!

@soccersoar3 2 года назад

Hey man, I have been watching for a while now and just got my CFI in January and havn't had any super crazy experiences yet but did just solo my first student a week ago or so. It is an amazing feeling watching a student succeed.

@mattdrat3087 2 года назад

Fun video! Many, many years ago I was fortunate enough to be asked if I could be the out-of-control skydiving student for one soon-to-be-certified Accelerated Free Fall instructor. Tumbling and spinning, seemingly uncontrolled towards earth, completely unsymetrical, doing the opposite of what I usually did and being as unstable as possible, it was great fun. The instrctor dealt with it very well and hopefully he found it fun as well!

@LewDixAviation 2 года назад

It’s so much fun messing things up isn’t it? Haha

@mattdrat3087 2 года назад

@@LewDixAviation Yes, and as in your video, it's really good to see how well people cope, but at the same time also see that they realise they are going to be challenged in ways they never would have imagined without your example. Look forward to the next one!

That was my favourite bit too. The second best bit was that akward moment where you cant really tell if the student is doing a high flare or half a go-around.

@addictedtoguitars4948 2 года назад

I stated training last week, haven't been in command for landings yet, esp my last lesson where it was very windy out. But I've been told that I already have a good grasp of the basic (I've been using computer sims for some 25 years.)

@tds456 2 года назад

Such a great video and amazing to see the different perspective. I've still not gotten up the courage to ask my CFI when he knows when to jump in as we got into some squirrely landings so it is really eyeing opening to have to walk through the process as you did. Also young Bob quotes - "we are landing a plane" might just become a go to.

@ian1972pilot 2 года назад

I just asked my CFI to give me some time in the right seat time to try some landings--file it under 'being a better safety pilot' category, I guess. (late instrument student, not quite ready for commercial or CFI yet!--that'd be cool, though!) Read my mind! thank you kind sirs.

Great video. Congrats Bob on the CPL, and I’m sure you’ll make a great CFI. I can see you’ll have great rapport with students just like Lewdix. Hope we still get to see young Bob appearing in videos.

Great video. Concise communication skills are premium. It takes time to develop the skill and the patience to allow your student learning opportunities. Flying from either seat will become natural. Good look on CFI pursuit.

you should have landed the plane so he could get a site pitcher of a good landing from the right seat!

This is a good one. Nice work Lew. I like how you embodied the "Every Student" in that video. I've not only been the perpetrator of a few of those things when I was a student pilot, but I've also had the same experiences (i.e. moments of high adrenaline) with various students of my own as a CFI. :-) All part of the adventure of flying. Wouldn't trade it.

I can’t imagine students banking like hell on their first flights, I admit I was scared shitless of the plane when I first started training. It was like 8 hours before i finally started getting comfortable with maneuvering.

@LewDixAviation Месяц назад

Had a guy on a discovery flight yank the controls back to his chest and held it there, paralyzed in fear. Had to be forceful with him to get him off the controls. It happens.

@addinkid3 2 года назад

One of my first students had all the requirements and finally got his medical approved so he just needed some refresher after 7 months. I figured he could land a plane just fine. MISTAKE! I didn't have my feet near the rudders and wasn't ready to take over. I kid you not he gets to the flare and goes full back pressure and is using right aileron to maintain centerline. In a split second I had to take over and do a go around. Closest I've been to disaster and now I'm more adherent regardless of a students skills

@kimberlywentworth9160 Год назад

I am a student pilot and this sound very scary. Lets do a stall and spin at the touch down point of the runway. Hmm.

@Acc0rd79 2 года назад

I remember when he was just getting his PPL with kevin and look at him now! Good deal on his commercial. Had some stress and financial issues come up last summer stopping me from completing mine. I'm still on the fence about wanting to go CFI as I own my plane but I always hear it's good to get. I sure hope we don't lose you once you join the new airline world, it will be a sad day:( sniffles Just go make them laugh and have tons of fun on the next step of your aviation career!

@conraddawson3956 2 года назад

We’ve both come a long way since the days of PPL with Kevin! Haha

@flyingaxeman7343 Год назад

You're not as sarcastic as my CFI was , but a damn close second. I showed up for my discovery flight well prepared and did the takeoff minus rudders and flew the large pattern and did all the throttle and flaps and decent and then asked a dumb question. I said "you want me to land this"? He turned to me and deadpan stared at me for like 5 seconds and replied "well you have 12 minutes experience in a Cherokee , you figure you're ready"? Followed by "My Controls". It was basically that sense of humor for the rest of my training and a great contributor to my successes.

@jeff3388 4 месяца назад

Just having passed my cfi ride it’s comforting to know the landing with side load is a normal struggle when switching seats

@jakehardy5997 Год назад

It's funny how similar this is to me teaching scuba diving. My instructor would regularly spit out his regulator and I thought he was being ridiculous but sure enough, one day I'm down at 40 feet with a discover scuba diver and this guy freaks out and starts pulling himself up the line to the surface and spit his regulator out. I had to shove it in his mouth, clear it for him (get all the water out of it) and hold him to the line to get him to calm down. He did it again on the way up and i did the same thing and finally he chilled out on the way up. thank god he was fine and i was too and glad i had a good instructor to run me through scenarios like that.

@1abc219 2 года назад
