PPL Flight Training Video Cessna 172

Here is a video of my instructor and I doing various maneuvers preparing for my checkride that was a week later. Some of the maneuvers include steep turns, stalls, and zero gravity.

Last I checked there was no zero gravity maneuvers on a ppl Checkride..w/e hope you passed

[aviator06]

There is not. It was one of the last flights before I took my checkride and wanted to know how to safely do the maneuver, so I did it with my instructor instead of trying it on my own later.

[qolaxbenchwarmer07]

lol its not that hard....

[aviator06]

Yea I figured that out. Thanks for watching!

I was looking at your face when you were doing the zero gravity, you looked a tad bit nervous, but I was too when I did that for the first time, there not my favorite, neither are stalls or steep turns.

[aviator06]

lol yea. I thought i'd make it look a little dramatic. They're one of my favorite maneuvers. Thanks for watching!

@infinityjet thats true but at 14 if you got the money and want to fly do it he will end up having more time in the long run so if he wants an airline ticket he closer to that and a CPL

[infinityjet]

@capcadet417

True...however it will be considerably more expensive AND the majority pass their checkride with only 1 year experience anyway...

[capcadet417]

@infinityjet if he continues flying frequently until he is 17 he will have a higher probability of passing his checkride although it is more expensive he will have a better grasp of the basics that are the fundementals of flight

@rav2k6 nothing u just get a cool feeling in ur stomach, and what ever is not tried down will float for like 3 secs

[infinityjet]

you're taking lessons at 14 years old? I don't think that's the best decision seeing as you have still 3 years to take the test....better to do it at 16 so it's more fresh in your mind!

Your instructor looks like hes the man...I bet that cessna didnt climb all that well with him in the right seat though...Was out last week in a cirrus sr22 gts doing the exact same thing with the zero gravity. We were doing some low level through the desert putting a good 60 degrees of bank on the plane pulling a solid 3 g's. Feels good on the head my friend!

[rav2k6]

what happens in zero gravity?

[austindv777]

i had my first flight in a 172 the other day. Im taking lessons now. cant wait to get my license. i have to wait three years though. did they have to move the age to 17?

[IFLYsquawking1200]

great video.. I loved the days when i was going through my flight instruction. Glad to see you all are having fun with it.

[gcsjulian]

since when was zero gravity in the pts. lol but congrats.

i just finished my 40 hours and im ready for the checkride but i cant take it until im 17 so i have to wait a month now
