Jeff of www.simsamurai.net must log some hours to maintain his real world currency! Therefore after a week of the flu the sky parts with beautiful weather and our brave pilot makes his way to the tarmac for a cross-country flight in a Cessna 172 from KMYF-KHMT - Part 1 of 4

I hate to sound negative here, but there are a lot of mistakes that are made during this preflight. As a CFI, I would not reccommend this video... If you are going to put something like this on the internet please follow the checklist and use proper terminology. I hate to sound rude, but I actually show this video to my students and have them pick out and discuss the errors (there are a lot). Putting this information like this out on the internet can be dangerous.

@flyhigh482 Ok, please point out to me every single mistake and I will re-shoot the video. I'm glad that I can help your students learn through all of my failures.

Hey, i'm new to being a pilot i just started lessons what tips could u give me to help me out plz reply soon. :)

@fijidude72 I would try and do as much of the groundwork first and take the written exam before you start logging alot of hours. Flying one or two days a week is fine until the ground stuff is out of the way.. alot of it obviously applies to flying the plane so work "from the ground up". Having a decent simulator set up at home can also greatly help you. If you have other questions just shoot me an email via my website.

@SimSamurai

All you have to do is follow the check list, never assume that because a plane has been flown that it dont warrant a complete preflight, just asking not to put out incomplete info for beginers that may use your preflight system as standard and wind up in a field, if you remember when you started your pilot training, the CFI would stay inside and trust you to make the complete preflight by yourself or mine did.
