Cessna 172 Flying Lesson

[TheMeslava]

@timtncc Does this look like night? Nope, it's day.

[nickoswoos]

I love the fact this guy got shat on for wearing aviators! He probably did need them because its daylight. But i think the fact that he was trying to be top-gun shone through so strongly that everyone can see it. hahaha- bloody awesome. I bet the instructor thought the same thing.

[TheMeslava]

@timtncc Your not that smart are you? I have blue eyes, they are sensitive to light even on a cloudy day. I can't even look outside without sunglasses on because it makes me squint and will give me a headache. So I wear sunglasses all the time. Just like this guy probably does. <_<

[timtncc]

@TheMeslava  Even at night ? waaw

[lordzboi]

Check out my channel for some Cessna flying, I got private SEL MEL and IFR rated and I'm barely 20yrs old

[syork35]

WOW, you really do know how to fly?????? And trim.

I am so glad I know you. :)

[ManRupununi]

Even though the instructor put the camera down on landing to help keep the aircraft aligned with rudder I'm guessing, I heard that stall warning go off on what seemed to be perfect timing, you looked confident during the approach too, nice one. Wish the video went that little bit longer, I can only guess you heard a nice chirp on that landing and not a hard thud :)

[RontoTheDog]

Arjennoxic may be right. My eyes are rather sensitive to light, even if it is cloudy. I usually have to wear sunglasses while driving or going for a walk, especially when there is snow on the ground.

Great vid man thanks for share it, i'm 16 years old and i going to star my flying lessons in this year:D hope you become an airline pilot :DD!

Greetings!

[2ballas]

[itsmemorp]

For all these people saying about the cold usually there are cockpit heaters in that type of 172 that he is flying

[Dundullla]

Nice video!

[Davi3038849844]

Didn't you forget to heat pitot

[1216saab]

At what distance from runway do you start your descent? Is it also a 500FPM descent as well? Thanks.

[scanmannz]

@1216saab A normal approach is typically at 3 degrees, or roughly 600-700 fpm. Therefore the distance from the runway at which one start's the descent depends on the altitude being flown. In a 172, a normal approach speed is about 65kt, or 75mph, meaning that the plane is flying at 1.25 miles per minute. Now, if you begin descent at 3000ft, then a 600fpm vs will mean a 5 min descent. Travelling at 65kt will therefore mean that the descent will be started 6.25 miles from the runway. :)

[1216saab]

@scanmannz Thanks....I see math plays an intricate part of flying. How do you determine how far you are from the runway without a GPS or Vor? Is it educated guessing?

[scanmannz]

@1216saab Usually you can descend visually using the PAPI as a reference (if your unsure about what it is then you can easily look it up) and in light aircraft your descent path can be easily adjusted to stay within a proper envelope. Without GPS or Navaids, your distance can be determined either by: 1) Asking ATC for your position, or 2) Using Maths again - calculating an estimated distance using airspeed and flying time.

[1216saab]

@scanmannz Thank you, I plan on starting lessons in the near future and only have" FSX for real world pilots"(book) to study from. It actually explains quite a few things but I wasn't sure which would be most practical for my first flying experience.

[devildan58]

Nice Bose Headsets !

[SeriousAviation]

aren't you cold. you're not wearing long sleeves and it's snowy?!

[hawker445]

My god what kind of sunglasses are those

[timtncc]

nice vid , But there's no Sun bro 

[arjennovic]

@timtncc Maybe his eyes are more sensitive to light (snow) than yours? I always wear sunglasses when I go flying at day for the best vision.

[SebastienDS]

@arjennovic

same.. nothing wrong with wearing those glasses

[CincoSnare76]

@arjennovic Or maybe he's trying to be a cool aviator?

[arjennovic]

@CincoSnare76 I believe not. I hate people saying that. When people wear sunglasses that doesn't mean they wanna be cool. When they do so, it's simply because they need to because they've some kind of problem with their eyes (highly sensitive to light), like me for example. When I wear no sunglasses at day I can see no contrast, it's not to be cool mate. :)

[wtfsincerlyjapan]

@arjennovic it would be embarasing if he said it was to be cool wouldnt it

[Physicspilot]

@timtncc Usually,we prefer to wear shades because it eliminates glare. Its winter and you definitely don't want the snow reflecting light on your eyes whiles you're up there :P

[hawker445]

@timtncc still a good amount of glare when you are flying

[hamstringsyo]

@timtncc all pilots wear there sunnies during the day, sun, or no sun..... bro. gotta maintain them eyes as long as possible.

[Instucablanator]

@timtncc trust me you still need em, specially when its winter, also the camera does cut out most of the glare

[DukeAdonis]

@timtncc Sunglasses aren't only to be used to block sunlight but to repulse ultraviolet rays (which are invisible). This can happen when you are looking at a white wall outside, at the beach in the shade, etc. Now for pilots, sun or not, wearing sunglasses is nearly a practical/medical choice.

[WorldsCast]

@timtncc dude....... you have to wear those glasses because they are epic

[daddygreenjeens]

@WorldsCast LOL

[Coollimes]

@timtncc what's wrong with looking cool while you're flying?

[68agro]

putz is snowing?

[68agro]

whose is this place ?

[Beamernator]

Glass is a thousand times better... That's what we have here at UND.

[mkisdevil]

@Beamernator Its also what we have here at riddle.

[SuperAncientmariner]

Shades???

[lolomgipwnyou]

round dials..gross..

[eclipse245]

@lolomgipwnyou Analog's the shit bro!

[monkeyboy85]

Can he hear ATC through that beanie? lol
