Walkaround tutorial: Piper Cherokee PA-28-180 

Personal preference for efficiency. As long as all items are verified with the checklist after you do them, you can do the walkaround like a flow (do and verify vs read and do) since there's nothing that needs to be in a particular order at that point.

@@DanWeecks makes sense and again thank you for the video. It was truly helpful.

You certainly can! I didn't take my discovery flight until I was 24. The comment about ages 14-20 was specific to the Aviation Explorers club whose airplane I used for this video. It's a low-cost flight training option for youth in the Phoenix area where instructors donate our time and the aircraft/fuel are less expensive than anywhere else since it's a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Great questions, and thank you for the compliment! For specific instances and detailed questions like that, I'm happy to do a ground school with you (remote via Zoom or in-person are both great) which you can book at www.DWAviation.us. Here are some generic answers to your questions however: - Everything VSI can be read here in the FAA's PHAK publication, Chapter 8. www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/media/10_phak_ch8.pdf -Rudder pedals: in this particular aircraft, there are no toe brakes on the CFI side (starboard side of the aircraft). There is only the center parking brake and the port side toe brakes, giving the impression of more room and resulting in some extra stretching room. I haven't noticed a huge difference in placement but that's a great question for a mechanic (you could also read the maintenance manual for the PA-28-180 since I'm sure it addresses any difference and measurements there). I'm 6'2" and appreciate all the room I can get as well! As far as the rudder pedal adjustments, you can adjust most seats on two planes making it easier to fit. -I fly from the right seat when I'm solo because I'm a flight instructor and used to it... prior to that, I flew hundreds of hours left seat. It's usually just a preference based on your aeronautical experience, however most examiners for PPL will require you to sit left seat. Gauges and instrumentation still are workable from the left or right seat, it's just a matter of getting some transition training from one to the other and learning to interpret the new sight picture of each. It is common after instrument training to do commercial single and multi checkrides from the right seat to prep for CFI. Bottom line generally is that if you can operate the aircraft safely, stay legal, and not be hindered by switching seats it SHOULD be fine, but again please book a ground school with me or another CFI to verify for your specific case. -I'd highly recommend King Schools online for the ground school as well as written test prep. As always, please give us a call or email with your questions! I'm happy to chat about options, or you can watch these two videos and many others on DWAviation.us/Resources discussing options with flight training (direct YT links here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rwQUnmHxBiU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sxmVhke_5XQ.html)

Nice! If you're in the Phoenix area, I'm happy to give you some customized instruction. I've got close to 100 hours in type, and hundreds more in the PA-28 series. www.DWAviation.us/Resources has many helpful resources for free as well.

The pricing on the website now is current. We currently are only flying the glass panel Warrior for the dry rate

Thanks.

Some planes are different... if your plane has a stall warning light, that's still the device to warn you about an impending stall. Check your manufacturer's documentation and the POH for more information about your specific systems. I'm also happy to do a remote ground school or flight if you're interested in doing some advanced training to your specific aircraft. You can find out more info at DWAviation.us
