What's wrong with just hand flying the dang airplane? Why the need to mess with an autopilot? Watch your gauges and fly. Look outside the cockpit! Good grief.

Fart in the wind🫡😁

Hi rick😎🫡

Heard about this on pilot de brief...about that fly girl. Was crazy maybe she was moving so fast all that money she had and putting video on live for public to see maybe she should of just focus more and not rushed into buying a different aircraft.

On the financial aid, if a 141 program is associated with a college program it is much easier to get financial aid and student loans. My particular school also can take GI bills.

I work at a 141 2 year college in WI, airlines, charter places, and Flight schools alike love our grads, best test pass rates around. But it’s tough man, not the place for those guys taking years for PPL. Also had my own 61 school on my own, it’s fun and more flexible, but it’s impossible to meet the same standard of ground training.(unless your paying a CFI to sit there for hours on end with you)

Keep the content coming!

Great video! Can you share the link for the scholarships please.

Spent the morning with Rick a couple weeks ago. Very knowledgeable guy.

I understand the sentiment toward Stage Checks. I'm a 141 PPL student (who holds a bachelors in Mech Engineering), already passed my written, but the school won't allow me to schedule my checkride until I've completed separate mock checkrides with my CFI and a check instructor (final stage check). So that's adding big gaps in training and lengthening my time to certification. My flight frequency drops waiting for these stage checks. It feels counterintuitive, I'm losing proficiency at the most critical portion of my training.

👍🫡great advice

Im so upset at myself for not flying pre COVID. Prices are crazy now. A 70's Cherokee was under 50k. Now? Prices are all over the place.

New subscriber here 😊

Great job guys. What a school and nice guys

Can you guys make a video on how to deal with a bad instructor when we cant change them please😅

Thank you very much again for these videos by showing different aspects of aviation and giving tips!! ✈️🙏🏽 Could you make about becoming a pilot in the USA as a foreign?

Just got my PPL... If anyone has some food to spare. 😅. .... Half joking. I did what i had to do, and ended up financing my training at a high interest rate .. so... Rice and beans for awhile.

I want to know what kind of house she presented to her customers

Paying for it, the cost goes up every year.

I agree the flight instructor is everything. After three flights, my first instructor at Kelly Air Force Base concluded that I didn't have the aptitude. A year and a half later I was ahead of everyone in a class of 20 student pilots. Find an instructor who's passionate and who you like. That'll get you there!

You guys have pretty much nailed the variables, but one thing as a crop duster and mountain pilot I would add is the basic flying experience gained in low powered airplanes. When fuel energy is almost always a high percentage of total energy available at high DA and max load, students may fail to appreciate the law of the roller coaster, what the airplane want to do in all turns, free ground effect acceleration energy, down drainage egress, and even orographic and thermal lift available. In the C-140 at Monte Vista where I taught, I make sure that students understood that when pulling back results in little or no climb they might try pushing on the yoke a bit. I very much agree about the need to learn computers and modern avionics. I got most of my 400 hours IMC in Hueys that had no autopilot and really felt alone when IMC alone in airplanes, but am amazed at these young pilots flying IMC alone with modern avionics help. I quit my CFII work when the knobs got too small (poor nerves and feeling) and I was too dense to keep up with different computerized systems. IMC or teaching, we have to have full confidence in our mental and physical ability. I agree with your no GPS training. We Army guys prefer ADF as the needle always points to the station over VOR, but we also had the Radio Magnetic Indicator. And how many Private students know to fold a map to a strip map condition and place destination up so that what is right of us is right on the sectional as well, left left, etc. And do they learn to use rudder only to maintain target/heading and keep the wings level and have a hand available to deal with maps, wis wheel, and such. I am old and mostly all used up, but I do fly with all the new students at the local flight school (lots now.) I teach/encourage teaching flying first and ACS second. I have to modify my crop duster basic level in low ground effect acceleration to cruise, pitch to just clear obstructions, Dutch rolls to 45 degree bank to illustrate the human need to lead rudder, crop duster energy management 1 g at any bank angle turn, and the apparent brisk walk (short final) rate of closure approach. It can work however. If trimmed to Vy, what will the airspeed do (as opposed to what the airplane wants to do) in the turn to crosswind leg? Why not teach the student to relax all back pressure in this turn. This would agree with the airplane to maintain trimmed airspeed rather than to maintain (or climb) altitude. What about leading rudder, yes we want coordination, rather than stepping on the ball after adverse yaw in turns? What about jamming our thumb aside the stick or under one side of the yoke on short final where we do not want to turn and can never achieve longitudinal alignment (or wings level butt to target heading) with coordinated turns. Yes, when the student looks over at us, say walk the rudder to properly yaw/align with the centerline between our legs. Stuff like that.

Ever see ufo/uap on your flights mike and sean? Cool stories about unexplainable stuff y'all have seen as pilots? Been following the subject looks like a lot of pilots see them.

the best plane is a beat up 150, use paper charts and save a ton of money.

QUESTION: How does a personal bankruptcy effect getting hired by an airline or get TSA clearance? Does the bankruptcy need to be closed for a period of time?

Thoughts on buying a cessna 150 for around 30k-40k and doing a lease back deal. Would it pay itself off and would I be able to make money on her I plan on go into the navy so I personally wouldn't touch it for 4-5 years but definitely wanna get my private pilots license (I'm 33 and live in south Georgia)

Jesus in the morning, I need to get my credit right

QUESTION: Does a personal bankruptcy effect the ability to get hired by the airlines or pass the international/domestic TSA background check?

An awesome F15 Strike Eagle pilot named Hoover did a great debrief on his excellent channel ‘Pilot Debrief’ on TNFlygrl

Great podcast’.’

We just had a $75 assessment per month for six months for avionics upgrade…

What was the name of this flight school and instructor?? Active duty in NC here

Jamal, Thanks for being honest. I appreciate your transparency.

I applaud Jamal for gettrdone, but $75k and you already had a PPL, and your at ~250hrs....man, seems like a screw-job. I dont really get the extra $18k (93) is just for room/board for 6months...but ok.

Should I still get me associates degree, or that won’t really help since I’m already in flight school?

AI is making natural intelligence more rare

The best airplane is the cheapest airplane that gets you your certs. Virtually nothing you do in school has much effect on your career. A pilot flying a six pack 172P vs a G1000 Diamond pilot. They will both have lots to learn in a sim at a real airline. Don't waste your money, trust me. Find the best deal you can and stick with that.

She fucked around and she found out

Thank you again for another motivational video fellas. Pulled the trigger on ground school (PTP) today and looking to join the 20% who obtain their PPL. Goal is to be an even fewer career 2.0 guy

You can do 20 hours of sim for instrument

Hello , I have just started flight training and have had a few hours. My cfi told me that the job market right now for alirine pilots is terrible. Is that true?

I just saw a fb post from a group I'm in, a NOTAM that the airfield I was planning to train, closed its runway for touch and go's until FEB.

Disagree with your theories. I watched a few of her videos before they were taken down, and also watched Hoover's video twice on @PilotDebrief if she and her father really were acting they definitely need to get Academy Awards posthumously for keeping it up in all of their videos so convincingly and even roping the CFI into playing along. No. That wasn't a stunt gone wrong. It was what it was. And that's tragic enough without trying to interpret anything more into it. And I guess when the final report by the NTSB is out it will confirm it.

It seems most clubs that have been around for a decade or more have older planes that are pretty much paid for, so the costs are mainly operational. If you're looking to buy a newer craft, $200k is kind of a starting point. Getting a bunch of people together to split the cost could be hard -- at $2k per share, that means 100 members! Or 10 members at $20k per share. The operating costs are the same either way. But I've noticed a lot of used planes where the total time looks like they only get flown 100 hours or so per year. If you've got the money to plop down on a plane that costs $150k - $250k, plus 100% of the operating costs and overhead, then it's not a big deal. This was very informative, but I'd like to know how to go about setting up a club as a way of making fractional ownership affordable for 10-20 members who are acquiring a new(er) plane for those of us who can't afford $200k. Like the DA22 club he mentioned -- he didn't say what the member shares are, but they can't be in the $3k range that this guy is paying for access to a 1969 Cessna that might have cost $15k when the club was formed.

QUESTION: Did I hear you correctly...Senior pilots may only work 2 days a month (while on reserve they're so senior they dont get called), and still get paid their monthly minimum??

In all honesty unless you are doing a really long flight with multiple refuelings along the way there is no good reason to use the autopilot. You just have to climb, set your heading and go straight to your next waypoint. The autopilot should be used to make the trip more comfortable and that's it. I have done multiple flights for up to 6hrs all manual flights, I use the autopilot from time to time so I don't forget how to use it but as long as the plane is well trimmed I have no problems keeping it straight. I like to approach flying the same way I do driving.

She created her bad ‘luck’ by not learning her aviation skills but why her father left his common sense and flew with this clueless pilot is beyond me and he flew with her many times before this crash!!! Dead wish? 😢

Mike Martin looks a lot like Bill English. An NTSB investigator lol. Excellent info as always. Love the podcast. Cheers.

Wow, went through pilot debrief and you guys on my fellow Tennessean's demise and am shaken. In the early 80s my life long best friend wanted me to go watch hang gliders fly in Chattanooga where he was taking lessons as we both loved all flying things as kids growing up. I went, started lessons too and quickly out paced him on skill milestones. I took to it like a duck to water and he struggled and eventually left the sport including the glider we purchased together. He never did get the spatial, speed, situational awareness, attitude, collection of all availble data thing. In short, he did not have the instincts a safe and competent pilot must have to be good. Inborn. One of my instructors at that school told me he was going to scratch my buddy and he did. He told me that about 1 in 15 students are dismissed during training. GA needs something like this. I flew Hangs 7 years, flew and sold unltralights and took GA lessons and did solo but then a life got in the way and I never got back to it. I have followed aircraft crashes for 45 years now and her story is so damn sad.

Hey I have a question for anyone with some knowledge. I’m a senior in high school and I wanna be an airline pilot. The issue I’m worried about is that last year I got a concussion playing football. My grades were never affected and although I don’t play football anymore I run cross country and play other sports. I do however have headaches much more commonly now and I’m wondering if that could be an issue on my health exam. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks for sharing the information!
