Private Pilot Lesson 1

Claire all right throttle 900 okay eight or nine hundred just bring it up somewhere around there's I've got oil pressure is good yep alternator positive charge yep we're good mixture lean one inch okay clean it out about that far a little more than inch because that keeps the plugs clean while you're idling okay the plugs will fill up if you don't but like that yep perfect okay primer inland locked okay just this is your primer just pull on it make sure it won't come out because if it does it'll flood the engine the engine install and yep locked for taxi flaps up okay if the flaps were down I look at the flaps watch where they're coming down if they were down pull them off Roger that changes the shape of the wing and lets you fly at a slower speed four approaches yep radios on okay now this these radios this is going to be all changed out and you'll have a radio master which will turn them all on we've got to get my other one back in service here but for now turn out to about the three o'clock position and push alt on that one go ahead and push it in this is our transplant it'll tell the controllers where we are what flight rules were under and it'll tell them our altitude also if you push altitude on it okay so we're this wonderful this is your weather radar just push in or on here and it will boot up just over here push enter try to get you to do everything so don't know where everything is Roger all right weather obtained okay fee and do you have a knee board if you don't I got you on that do I don't you don't have one all right remind we would go in there I got you one all right we're going to get our weather but when a copy your weather down well that knee board just get a little scratch pad you know about a pen but know what better anything ever happens the fa the first thing they say is did you get the weather we're here seven yeah I did get the weather okay what was it oh well I didn't copy it down and they said well that you didn't get it found so what we do is put this up hit enter twice and you should have two frequencies in here that's the weather frequency one twenty five thirty seven and that's what we talk to each other in the pattern there okay so push that button in and that'll activate the Garmin aksar operates our radios well you got three radios in here you got a conventional comm communications radio conventional nav the vor localizer the old systems we still use them right and you got your new GPS over here so there's three radios in one okay all right so activate that and push it in for Claire yeah 25 yep Knoxville downtown Island Airport automated weather observation one Niner three Niner so the wind variable at zero for visibility more than one zero sky condition clear below one mm temperature seventh dewpoint minus 1 1 altimeter 3 0 1 8 remarks be advised the downtown airports common traffic advisory now the first thing we do get out get over here and that's that's when it came out 1939 take 4 hours 4 yes over 15 30 nights 339 it came out which is just about right now the winds moving around is variable at 410 plus miles visibility good visibility no clouds or very few clouds skies clear temperature is 7 that's about 40 degrees somewhere around there and the dew points 11 the farther they are apart the less chance we have of some visible moisture rain slow snow sleet hail all right now don't don't put this in yet okay put your altimeter on field elevation 830 feet and then yeah it's about right yep and then look over and see if your beer this is called a Coleman window has a correct barometric pressure I say that from making a huge mistake like taking off with your altimeter like that that I've watched guys do okay so always put it on field elevation where we are and then check your barometric pressure against that under all right that's it that's how you copy the weather down so I'll give you that knee board you can copy it tomorrow and flail through that okay we got our weather what's next transponder on standby now I got to change that for yours and Peter Phillip they just changed this Renaud that's why they wanted on altitude reporting from the time you rolled to the time you come back and shut down all right it t is we've already done that that's all over or not you guys yeah okay nav lights only at night or no night taxi area clutter all around especially in back if you make sure you're going to blow somebody over that's in back of the airplane clear we're good to go 1/4 mil collapsed I put your checklist down you can put it on the floor or over there don't put it up here on the glare shield though all right now we got test our brakes check your parking brake off and let they're gonna roll forward just a little bit all right now hit your brakes on the top all right now I pull your parking brake see if that works all right then let me do mine all right you're good all right you always taxi with this all the way back have your handle on the throttle I'm gonna close my window close your window can you hear us yes sir good okay and on the throttle give us a little bit of gas and let's come around and we'll get on the yellow brick road around here all right you got nose wheel steering on the bottom of your rudder pedals and if you need more authority if the brake just let ya raise your foot up and hit the brake get the right away you're on the right side in here right has the right away all right now put just a little power we're going to come back around here we're going to take off into the wind Roger so we're on 20th to 6:00 and he use to six correct now keep your nose wheel right on that yellow line little things if we're going to build from day one are big thanks to these examiners keeping your nose wheel on that yellow line taxi in under control is another big thing for them all right now leave your pal about right there and just taxi this is a good taxi speed going to keep your hand on that while your text butter yeah the little things are in a lot of cases to these guys or more important than the big things and now if you've got all your foundation and everything you know you had a good foundation on what to do they'll let some things go on these check rides that you wouldn't think they would you know but if you're sloppy on this little stuff hey it's not going to give any slack cause for concern exactly right 1/4 of when uniform for the day thoughtfully config stuff down all right now slow down right here follow the yellow brick road this is our run-up area it's like purgatory in here right here keep going you want to go so you don't blow your exhaust out I'm going out there sick for Zulu or better enough or file to the website now can see the approaches and southeast bow so pull your brake parking guy cow and we'll start our rub that down traffic we're first apply on the helicopter we're just going to go departure straight north a little better yeah you got your brakes and just have your feet on them nice and light doesn't windows latched all right my door and my window is latched check and make sure I got my seatbelt on Oh yep mix rich bottle 1700 to get the brakes on okay what you're going to do to check these mags there's a way to do it and you know what you're going to do I'm not going to run it all the way up to 1700 but you're going to go one two one two okay then back to one back to both you're going to look for 125 rpm drop when you get that okay take your time with this guys go all the way to off and then they get scared bring it back on and that can blow the exhaust manifold right off the airplane Polti so take your time with that okay all right we're going to chat we'll check our mags for both of her drop of no more than 125 a 50 rpm dropping the difference yep click pull our carburetor heat out and look for a drop on RPMs we'll check our suction make sure that's on five and that runs you two gyroscopes it's a pump on the engine that runs the two gyroscopes seven all right and then we'll check our pressure temperature in our air meter all at 17 I'd rather run this up to 1700 rpms and keep you right hand on your throttle go ahead and take your left hand and turn it all hold the flight controls there's seven got to keep your right hand on this level there you go three go click click and then back to both yeah but rip nice and slow okay there you go that's good less than honored 25 righto now doing 100 both together right okay you're good there we need to go right out so if you're fine you got it right you okay all right Keith pull it out and look for a drop this is car beat that's it and we're looking for a here that is a slight drop but it's gonna drop that's all you want suctions that just f5 okay oil pressure green temperature green and mater positive yep we're good yep we go back to 900 yep look probably everybody doesn't fit trim set so we need right here you trim is good brother flight controls free and correct sir all the way forward put your checklist down while you're doing this all the way forward all the way to the left all the way back all the way to the right and all the way in and do that three times look for one aileron over there look for your other aileron here look in the back and look at your elevator and while you're back there push your rudders alright you're good all right we got our flight controls ivory incorrect flight instruments flow pattern right there's nothing on the checklist for this we're going to start out with the airspeed indicator straight up and down set you that little dot is called the pepper put that pepper right on the horizon bar in your city here's a little different of mine Roger we've already sent around ten to eight hundred and thirty feet field elevation that's what we are above sea level and it's eight sixteen or whatever eight three zero one six or whatever that was this is a a both the GPS it's in GPS mode now or it's a vor and a localizer what we do is put that this is our there's a transmitting station they're all over the country and you fly from one transmitting station to the next and there it is if you Center this up with a to indicate on the radio yep your heading is on the top two hundred five degrees to go to that station the radial you're on is the 0 to 5 degree radial your north northeast of the station don't anybody change there's a lot of different ways to do it that is a simplest way and you'll never screw it I get airline pilots in here they get confused on that alright all your buttons are out they should be except for that one in Auto and you should be on com1 this is common one that's come - this is enough it's going away soon as we get my other airplane back 26-6 is our common traffic we're going to talk to the guys in the pattern with that we were going to call NOx approach on 123 9 and tell them to keep an eye out for us on the radar keep us away from other airplanes now we got to put a waypoint in here this is your GPS point the easiest way to do it is push the cursor it brings up that little booty call it brings up the cursor and you go yeah I want to go direct to downtown hinder it twice and scroll it out to 20 miles and I know I'm feeding it with a firehose on this stuff we'll go over this a million times now that gives you the Waypoint gives you the direct course to go to the Waypoint it gives your distance and it'll give us a ground speed if we're in the air in off those two or it up we've already set the transponder on altitude tell them it will tell them our flight rules VFR tell them our altitude note give them our position we don't have to be talking - ok vertical speed is zero we already checked our suction on the run-up you got to set your directional gyro to your bag compass it's about or about zero four zero push it in and put it on zero four zero there you go right there and note that the cards are different North is on this one and North is over here that we're backwards okay this is dumb it has no idea where magnetic north is this one knows exactly where it is this one's no good in the air that one's very stable in the air that's why we set them all right wing's our level fluids in a race that's our turn coordinator yeah that's called the race and there's fluid in it and the wings are level all right we went to every instrument on this panel and we set it in something that we're going to use in flight we'll do a lot of flow patterns in a real they're real effective if you don't skip around don't skip around go from one to the other same thing every time okay you are down you got your flight instruments what's after flight instruments and planning line on put them both on birdstrike avoidance birds will avoid landing lights and that flaps up okay push them up and look out the window and make sure they are and recenter your switch because there's a percent of the switch what if there's an up lock in there and if you leave it like that and and the up lock switch fails it'll burn the motor out okay a contact tell them we're going to go yep here's what you say four three three one Romeo what's the downtown traffic first downtown traffic four three three one Romeo is taxiing for departure on to six tell me taking off on Tuesday take it off on two six departure to the wet I'm gonna let you know we're going to go east we go east yep okay uh downtown Knoxville traffic cessna four three three one romeo is 32 six departing two six four Parcher to the east yep si it's perfect and nobody's listening so just go ahead yeah you got to push that in and it'll put a little yep it'll put a little transmit button up there okay it's Knoxville downtown right yep Knoxville downtown traffic cessna four three three one romeo is taxi two to six for departure departing the field to the east downtown traffic i put your checklist up into your either will either place that's good take your brake off put your yoke back right hand on you I'll head right for that to that sign that two-six sign because we're going to clear our final however you don't have to have a radio to fly in here okay even if guys have radios half the time they don't use them alright now go right for that two six that side and then we're going to swoop around so we can get a good clear shot of the final right over here we're clear we are clear all right just put your power on and just hold it and now we're going to use every inch of the runway don't give up wanting out to the runway all right now pull your power back a little bit put that tire right on the edge of that runway you never know where you're going to need it all right there we go okay now Center up your nose wheel and drop your feet all the way to the bottom and nice and smooth go right up on the go to full power anticipate the airplane is going to want to yell it to the left do the torque and P factor hold your yoke about right there try to keep us right down that center line use one hand put your other hand on your throttle there you go just make work those rudder pedals we're going to rotate at 60 there it is pull back and there's your first takeoff hold it right there you got to keep your hand on that guy Roger cuz it'll walk back on you okay put off that that's a pretty good pitch attitude set a little bit of trim and that should give you 80 80 is our best rate of climb speed Roger take your left leg and put it back by the seat you don't need any left rudder on climb out you need right rudder and that'll emphasize it and we're going to go up to 1,300 it won't turn on across one leg alright we let traffic it's everything is left traffic unless otherwise specified and the only way you see that is on the chart or in a airport facility directory we go up to 1300 feet and it will take out take a left behind now just take your foot on with the right rudder and come left right with one hand down right with one hand because it'll make you trim the airplane and trimming is everything at five okay what we want to tell everybody wrong crosswind say downtown says two four three three one Romeo's on cross one four two six dead after FX Cessna four three three one row Piazon cross one four to six downtown traffic alright now we hit for our antenna farm there now see that little hill there's a little blue water tank on the top of it yeah okay we're going to go around the outside of that that's our yeah it's a little choppy look at look at the Paola cop you see that Daniel see the snow and look on what is a bunch of knowing all the bells put that real close to your lip see talk to us there you go you got it downtown 3-1 Romeo's on down with four to six departing the paddock of these that's why those other guys came back they good you just bounce you around today yeah we had whenever we have a front come through you get a lot of surface winds and they create this friction it's called friction turbulence as all it is now there's a big cement plant over there see the tower yep head for that that's over in our practice area okay we got our yep and we're going to go up to 3,000 feet now take your foot left foot put it back by the path by the seat don't need any left rudder or climb out we'll go up to 3,000 we'll level along it's a pretty day but it's bumpy yeah that's Morrow it probably comas glass because it takes about a day for it to cop it all out after a front yeah we got all that pressure pushing that weather you know to the east about 700 feet or so just try to keep a tea set whatever pitch attitude is going to give you a tea and one of the reasons it takes a higher pitch attitude today is the air is cold and it's it's incidence yeah yeah the engine and the wing and the propeller will all perform better performance yep all right you're coming up on 3000 push your nose over bottle back nope leave your throttle right where it is and take your hand on the trim wheel start trimming it down there you go all right right there now you're gaining airspeed so you're going to gain a lift that's why you got to keep trimming it down to wake up a steady state when it goes to a hundred hold that power back to 2200 rpm yep pull it right off back keep pulling right there that's good now I want you there's house mount that little hill over there right just go to it yep head for that and try to hold us at 3,000 feet look at your natural horizon try to keep this glare shield in perspective to the natural horizon and that'll keep you maintaining your altitude and work your trim get your hand on that trip we'll start exploring that trim that it does trim is a poor man's autopilot and it makes flight either smooth or not smooth you'll work a whole lot less if you learn how to trim that airplane good and that's the way you fly it that's good I like to see your hand like that you don't have a death grip on it because that's not going on I actually remember that from 15 years ago and I'll put it freely yeah the guy said you have a girlfriend yeah and I was doing this you know he said you hold her hand like that I said I never forgot that how many hours you get with uh between 6 and 10 I don't really remember play the simulator a lot I don't know what that's worth where's a lot it is worth a lot these kids had come out and been flying simulators for four or five years yeah they can fly the airplane day one annual plays on the simulator two simulators are magic I'm going to have three I got one right now we're going to have some read that's how you learn how to fly instruments it doesn't seem to be too good for VFR but I don't know Bobby well if you get good find the instruments then you can you develop three levels one is scan the other one's interpretation and the third is aircraft control if you're getting good to find the instruments you can get your head in the cockpit interpret what it says faster and get your head back out so yes it does help you out via parka okay what happens in a turn now we're going to do a couple turns and I don't want to get you guys sick but what happens in a turn well first thing adverse y'all the nose ones go in the other direction right what's the remedial action you got to put rudder in in the direction of the turn you want to get all of the ball right well don't even look at the ball I want you looking outside okay right now all right and when you get established and you turn you don't have anymore adverse yaw take your foot off the rudder all right now you put both feet on your rudder and just come to the left it's a nice smooth left turn put your rudder in now you're established take your foot off the rudder just hold it in that angle aback so I have to hold the rudder down the toe no no you don't want to that's poor technique okay back to the right rudder and aileron together hold that rudder hold a steady pressure on it hold it in hold it in now take your foot off the rudder all right back to the left same thing rudder and aileron together push it in there don't be bashful with the rudder because I'm all about rudders alright it's the most misunderstood with all the flight controls then just keep going around here we'll come back around get a couple more and the other thing is you'll lose lift editor so you have to compensate for that by putting it a little bit more nose up trim in there now you're fine right now there's a cement plant we'll work around the cement plant a lot and this train yard so that's kind of our our area now did I get home I'll go find that on the simulator yeah yeah all right let's come back to the right aileron and rudder put that rudder in hold it in now hold a steady pressure on it now take it out now all right back we will work a lot on basic techniques okay I fly with so many people that have several hundred hours and they can't use the rudder they were told a lot more code just take your feet off the road yep now all right let's go back to the left rudder the same time you put it in with the aileron put the rudder in all right go back to the right and we'll do a turn to the right we'll come all the way back around and just try to hold your altitude track it all the way around we'll do a 360 work that trip always work your trip you should have no pressure on this stick Talon all right work your altitude down a little bit real small changes in pitch attitude what you're getting right now are thermals that are flowing up from these from this west wind hitting these ridges and creating uplifts yeah I got some they got some snow in the mountains last night how about that if you turn it up it'll point it back I don't like to do normally I do you know just some foul wrong stalls or stuff but I can tell you that would get me in the backseat so I don't want to do that okay whether somebody sit back there and unless I know they're going to be okay with it okay is something about when you're not maintaining control of the airplane it can get you dizzy all right let's do one to the left there put that rudder it put the rudder there you go hold it steady run and I take it out wants to turn on its own how you doing very good okay that is bumpy if it is we're gonna we're gonna head on back here I just want it I want to get you up flying today try to forget you good pre-flight he probably went through one of those when you flew before did alright we'll give you another one there just on this airplane alright let's come back to the right put that rudder it rudder rudder rudder rudder rudder alright now take your foot off the rudder you don't need it anymore coming around the corner once those ailerons have established your angle of bank that's all you need okay the golf course is another did you take your flight here uh now zelma memphis okay here that's another one of our what he calls checkpoints there and i'll tell you what take get your car it anytime you're below that green bar and having a carburetor he's out pull it out yep alright now he's your pal all the way back to idle start a five hundred feet for venice yeah I just start a nice gradual descent and you want to be at pattern altitude when you enter it so we'll stay out here until we get to eighteen hundred feet that's our pattern altitude are you doing anything on the simulator yeah oh you do the simulator everyday I'll show you some maneuvers I want you to practice or you practice infer them correct that'll give me something I'll just play on it right now no no I'll get you some of that tomorrow we'll just tell a nice descent down here you can tell it's windy look how it's knocking that steam down there I'll tell you what just give me it give me a 360 to the right just give me a turn to the right way you're descending that'll get get us a little time there I know rudder don't don't use any rudder for your turn only to initiate the turns and it's designed to offset adverse yaw if you get a minute if you got a flight an airplane flying handbook yeah yes okay go in and read the section on adverse yaw tonight okay real big on rudder right rudder is the cause of a lot of mishaps and accidents because people don't know how to use them properly and they don't understand adverse y'all understand adverse yaw day one and he'll be a lot better pilot all right now keep your turn in here think about the simulators you can't feel it let the aw yeah no you can't but they still develop that scan pattern and that interpretation all right now we took over to six so we're going to come in now put your power up for about 2,000 rpms leave your carburetor heat out and level us at 1,800 feet what sort of a simple you have I'm down traffic man 71 six rubbing out for only two six down ten alright see this dump head right to the middle of that dump right there and hold you 1,500 downtown sister four three two one Romeo we're entering a down car right now point rather four to six moving midfield cross one four to six yeah it's choppy some of these days when it gets real choppy this is not really choppy that bad some of them are so turbulent you don't get anything out of it yak so he'll backwards fighting the plane oh yeah exactly right we're gonna cut across and come in yep yeah go to midfield before you cut across they call it a midfield crosswind so we cross perpendicular the runway yes oh crap yes I've got Flight Simulator Microsoft Flight Simulator okay Jochen rudder pedals dr. malibu 3-0 walk travel kilo runway alright let's take em goin downtown that was good rudder use right there was very good now when you put it on put it on nice and smooth and a steady pressure all right now no more rudder you don't need any red or why you're established in the turn there goes the Baron on him in sight and say four three two one Romeo is midfield crosswind four to six captain Oxford traffic four three three one Romeo is midfield four to six downtown Rockville midfield cross one always tell electron via parting to the end of downtown well he won't be any problem alright see your River there yep want to turn and head right down the middle of that river for your downwind leg all right that was good now foot off the rudder tell everybody we're on the downwind four to six seven two one six Ryan still on 26 six they say fourth with your one rub eat it up all your bleep four three two one Romeo is on down with four to six see your downloaded leg now we get up to the bridge tell me we're going to do this little jingle I use you're gonna push pull turn trip you got to push your nose down I pull you power back on home roll is it the pattern hey Alex what'd you do about the five miles northeast to the fields off the through 4,000 seeing what was going on down there well we're just about to turn face here alright push pull the power over John I've got some radios of you four o'clock son how did it get him over to you okay pull them all the way back and fly right down the middle of that other one you got your power all the way yes okay now do something called a belly check look over here make sure nobody's coming in not announcing their arrival we've had two mid airs right here Wow guys doing that straight in approaches are bad very bad but guys still do all right now look at your two six starts your turn rudder and aileron all right now foot off the rudder and we're a little high but we got quite a bit of wind out there now good approaches are the result of a steady pitch over towards the uniform with five is there elsewhere for runway look at the number two six data better approach right on it now give me some nose down trim you go you got a little pressure on your stick there we're going to drive this right into that number yeah and then you're going to level off we just got a little tail with it feel that mission us up keep pushing it down right into that to six then we're going to level it off then we're going to let the airplane do the work then it'll be just be patient with it you got a little speed but that's fine with this wind in these gusty conditions you want a little bit more aileron control now level this off right here hold it hold it close to the runway get it closer to the runway look down at the top of the trees now top of the trees top of the trees yep top of the trees don't look at the runway don't look at the runway all right tap your brakes put both hands on you yoke and pull it all the way back and hold the nose down with the brakes that throws the elevator up into the wind stream and allows you to aerodynamically brake really helps gotcha okay we were fast on that approach because we had a crosswind for out of the north there and if we would have put a slip in there would have slowed us down a little bit and that would have that would have helped that but that north wind look what it is is it's a direct cross way there so what that means is you're probably going to get a tailwind on final and it's going to increase your grounds B there's going to make you feel fast which we were all right taxi with us all the way back Roger and three one Romeo's clear runway two six all right now you never want to read a checklist while you're taxi back yeah I did backfill downtown traffic Malibu 3:01 Bravo kilos weight for IFR released I will be thinking the active runways six for I far departure Knoxville downtown island okay so now that you don't want to read a checklist there's another little flow pattern we're going to use to clean our airplane up start with the flaps push the flap handle up make sure they're up look out the window make sure they're up and then recenter it up stuff all right then back to taxiing now get your lead your mixture one inch all right and carburetor heat in is next landing lights off is next reset your trim is next all right so you go one two three four five knock traffic I'll read the chat on this travel galvanically zero up I will feel effective the active runway and six for the Barker Knoxville downtown Isla Damas tires open now okay good I'll tell you downtown island sister one three six oh eight section to run away to six hope you have to see board about 15-20 minutes below a wild on the Left we're all for them she's up driving I'll go out well what do you think captain he'll do good you'll do very good you're already I miss it's been a while yeah bet so how long has it been it's 2001 so that's not that big one for suing you right yeah that went sideways showing us pretty good tailwind so you always want to park here fight it Delta always want to park your airplane into the wind so let's take a right here stay on your yellow brick road let's take a right and we'll go around and park it in back of the fuel tanks into this width I bet my nephew in there did you meet him I don't know I bet you people out here but okay well he's my nephew he's up he's flies for Delta now he's a Delta pilot but he is a he's the operations officer for Top Gun down in Key West Airlines in lives push it over to Parker it's a little adversary that's a traitor jet trainer no it was actually hold up that was an actual combat fighter in Vietnam at five the north via therefore I flew that for yeah I thought you told me that no okay put your brake on and get your checklist out let's go over our checklist flip it over and you want to read uh where where do we go here yeah we're over one too many this thing is twisted all up you got traffic one-fourth of one uniform is on an upward runway too thick huh Jack around do a couple that goes beyond need to be after landing and secure right here at those two now we just did this one by floo powder but read it again and touch everything so you know where everything is okay transponders stand by we got to stand by here this here I just I tell you what just go to off that's got to be changed too because we're we're shutting it down alright flaps are up flaps are up extra lean one-inch we're good carburetor you cold in landing light both off trim reset shrimps good engine shutdown Italy well equip it avionics off okay oh you did turn this all the way off this guy here yep this will go off when the battery goes off and you've already turned your transponder off okay so that's the only yep Toronto 1200 mixture idle cutoff so pull it all the way out yep fishin in which off with the pros doing it yeah we got away from the prop stuff up master switch off goodbye
