  • IM watching this because ill have my first OFFICIAL lesson tomorrow 

  • @boeing757200american hey sorry i didn't get on and respond sooner.. how did your lesson go? Pretty awesome huh? =)

  • What is the overhead lever you were turning? I have never seen this in the Cessna's we fly.Is it just a Piper thing? :-)

  • @ljackso that is actually the trim. it is on an overhead swivel on the ceiling. I don't know if it is a piper thing, this is the only Piper i have flown so far. I do hope to get into some other piper aircraft such as the Comanche. I did like the position of the trim because i could sit back and relax in the seat. but i feel like the 172 that i am flying is lighter and more stable.(whether that is fact or not i don't know, but i like the 172 better.180hp, it does fly well THanks for watching!

see all

  • All I need is a job and my parents are going to let me get my PPL. :) Awesome music by the way.

  • First flying lesson tomorrow :) love the video!!!

  • @HIllCarver : Thanks for the info. As you know, the trim is located on the lower middle "dash" but I have electric trim. I think the 'high' wing planes are a little more stable and forgiving while the 'low' wing gives better performance. I soooooo want a Cessna Corvalis TT! Happy Flying.

  • @gawgetter @gawgetter not at all! Glad i could help! if you want some ground school that is really useful, check out this website as well, This is very similar to the material that i am using, and it is great. My instructor references it often. study up before you start flying.. Because it will all just click into place, and you will take off flying. Good luck!
