. Join us on Sienna's first flight lesson. She's a student pilot working on her private pilot flight training here at Angle of Attack. She recently got the bug, when she did a Discovery Flight. Now she wants to be a pilot.
So here we are. We're in the Cessna 172 that our flight school has, and we're happy to be flying. We'll be trying to do a lesson a week, which is pretty decent.
You can imagine when doing flight lessons, that it's kinda nerve wracking. Everything is new with the airplane, things are kinda different, and it's just a whole new world. That can be intimidating. While it's like drinking from the firehose, it's still a really neat experience. Sienna seems to be having a great time doing it.
For those wondering, Annalynn (famous from here solo video on our channel) is a commercial pilot, and working on her CFI! So she's observing from the back.

Hey Aviators! Thanks for tuning in. Make sure to hit the like button, subscribe, and ring the notification bell.
Done, This vid was so good for me. You have a great teaching manner and I imagine this will bring on a lot of new aviators. I'm 55 and only flown once, about 20yrs ago in a low wing twin engine aircraft (crazy story). Wish that i'd took lessons after that, if I ever did go for lessons i would hope that my instructor was as plesant and calm as you. Mark. England.
Minor issue but I thought shut down would be in the reverse order of start up. Avionics and electrical off then mixture, mags and last master switch.
Are you in Homer Alaska? I'm moving there soon. I'm licensed but would love to do some Alaska flying. Thanks Steve
Great video this helped a ton
I've seen a 747 pilot in real live
I am 68 years old. I've loved airplanes since I was a kid. This is one reason I joined the USAF. Unfortunately I didn't get to obtain my pilot's license. I am unable to get one now due to use of insulin. With that being said, I still enjoy learning the ins and outs of flying. Thank you so much!
Have you considered training to fly an ultralight? No pilot license required. No medical required per Part 103.
Paraplane or ultralight?
You can still fly
To my knowledge, Ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft do not require a medical to fly
You could get a pc, microsoft flight sim, and a yoke and throttle quadrant and fly without a license
I am an instructor myself and it is refreshing to see you be so patient with BOTH of them. You let her fly so much by herself and it indicates you took the time to explain terms/items before the flight. Teach why not just what, it was enjoyable to watch!
Thank you!
I want to be a commercial pilot❤
@@fabricemulayome too! I have my intro flight in the morning and I’m so excited I can’t sleep. Not sure how I’d pay for flight school but it’s the dream
Heck yeah!

I remember seeing her in a past video when she took a discovery flight. Awesome to see she decided to take the lessons, hope she does well, hopefully we'll see her solo.
I hope so too!
Is there a link to the discovery flight? Tia
Hi there, I’m only a simulator pilot but what I really liked on the lesson is that you made clear that the airplane can fly itself, and how it reacts at low (stall) speed and recovers itself. That makes the student pilot feel safe, giving confidence and trust in the airplane. I can’t imagine a more important lesson at the beginning! 👍
Nice Which simulator
I bet every flight instructor probably does things a little different, but in the end that day when we taxi off to the ramp and he gets out and your on your own, I learned at a busy airport, with airlines coming in and out. Got to learn radio techniques real quick. I couldn't move the airplane much without calling ground or clearance delivery to file a flight plan.
"No known traffic" (or anything else ATC says which gives you permission to take-off) means it's YOUR responsibility (as the pilot) to make sure the runway, base & final approach, and the sky above the runway are clear of traffic.
I need a 24 hour loop of this guy yelling CLEAR
Could make a text message ring tone of him yelling “CLeAr!!!” 😂
I would want you as a flight instructor. I've seen a lot of flight training vids and some of the instructors are so impatient and borderline rude. I wouldn't be able to handle an instructor like that. There are a lot of great instructors also, like yourself, who are down to earth, personable and friendly. Thank you for being one of the great ones.
You are a great instructor. You let her have control of the aircraft most of the time even when she's new. I wish more instructors were like you. Especially when you consider how much it costs to learn to fly...
It’s not just about the cost,it’s the experience which is so important to learn , you don’t just have someone drive a car for you to learn you have to do it yourself same thing other wise crash not knowing how to handle it , no brainer .
Good job! She’s gonna be a fine student and you’ve given her a foundation for a long time flying safely. Thanks for sharing to both of you. As usual I really enjoyed my ride with y’all!
Very good video. I took 1 flight lesson in a tail dragger at 18 year of age. As I remember, none of the gauges worked, gas gauge was a red rag tied to a wire sticking out of the cowl. To level the flight, you had to level the wings with the horizon. The lesson lasted one hour and I never went back. This is one of my regrets in life. I am now scaring 72 years old. I did get into motorcycles. I have ridden to all lower 48 states on my Harley from Texas. Took 2 trips to get it done.
As someone who has not done his discovery flight yet, but is looking for a place to do it, this video was phenomenal to watch!! So informative! You’ve got a new subscriber!
I like your demeanor when you are instructing your students. You not only show them what to do you explain it. I wish that I would have started lessons many years ago.
Fantastic vid. I am just starting lessons here in UK at the tender age of 56 and your film really helps. Thank you
That's cool Matt never too late💪 I'm a sophomore and I wanna become a commercial pilot one day
WHAT AN AMAZING demonstration of stalls, slow speed and the stability of the aircraft! That was soooooo good, and i am going to use it for my students when I start instructing!
It is a pleasure to watch a truly skilled professional teacher share the joy of flight with a student. Kudos.
I enjoyed how you calmly talked through each move . As a young man years ago I had a few lessons in a V tail Beach in Oceanside Calif. and my instructor while good was not a easy going as you . After watching this I am getting the itch to do this again at 76 years . Thanks .
That "CLEAR" was straight from the heart
I just wanna say your a great teacher, I have always been interested in flying and just now looking into flight school, this video definitely hooked me and showed me how fun and how a good teacher like yourself can make all the flight talk and terms easy to grasp! Thank you!
That was so cool to watch, enjoyed every second of it! Reminded me of my first (and only) flight, I’m amazed by the fact that you let her control the plane so much! You project calmness and she must’ve felt so confident doing it next to you! Keep it up pilot!
Chris, Great job on another video. I really like training style videos as there is always something to learn if a guy is paying attention. I never really had anyone explain over turning tendencies like that. I guess I have always just corrected them and never realized it. Now know more I can probably handle it in a more precise manor. Thank you for all the time and effort you and the Angle of Attack crew put into making great videos.
What a great attitude from the student, and great instruction / confidence-building from the teacher!
What a great video. You’re an awesome instructor and I can tell she’ll be an awesome student and eventually pilot. I soloed when I was 16 and was working towards the PPL when college then life interrupted things. I’ve always kept a passion for flying and as I’m now nearing retirement I’m thinking of trying again as a hobby when I’ll have some free time, so your videos both rekindle that passion and serve as a refresher for what I was taught nearly 50yrs ago. Thx and I’ll be watching all your content!
One of the best instructional videos of flight training I have ever seen. Great Job!!!
That was great. I took my discovery flight a few weeks ago and realized there's a bit of fear factor in me. I was hesitant to take the controls when I look down below. Hopefully, I will overcome it. The scenery in the video was just awesome !!! Plz, post some more videos.
Great video. I have watched your videos over the past 2 years when I was working towards my PPC and still watch to keep learning something new.
Love to hear it.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing! Your videos are absolutely helpful. Planning to start my flight training by early 2025 and by seeing every details of fundamentals of flight working in action just in front of my eyes, is just unbelievable! Its like I am already feeling the real action of flying. Thank you very much and more power! Safe skies always!
Love videos like this. Working on CFI currently and this is what I watch in my free time
Confident young lady and a calm instructor very enjoying to watch and learn.
Very cool to hear Annalynn's progress in her endeavors, and how far she's come with her dream. I'm excited for her.
I remember my very first flying lesson! Stapleton airport spring of 1966 and 16 years old with my flight instructor in a 1964 C-150 super excited and attentive. Walk-around inspection, introduction to the instrument panel, radio, start procedure, ground control, and a very long taxi out to runway 17. Runup, mag, and mixture check, call the tower, and a step-by-step procedure monitoring engine rpm, airspeed, and then liftoff. Basic flight maneuvers in the practice area, call approach, and land on runway 26R. An hour and ten-minute flight that seemed like thirty seconds Soloed in seven hours, Private License two weeks after my 17th birthday! Thousands of hours ago...
It’s ALL about CHECKLISTS! ❔✳️❔✅❔✅ …
Loved watching the first flight/ It helps get rid of the jitters because I'll be starting my first lessons at the beginning of March here in Arkansas. In all the years I've skydived, I always wanted to learn to fly and am now making it a reality. Thanks for the video brother. OooooRah !!
Watching you teach is delightful. My very first instructor gave me a sour taste of aviation. Constantly yelling at me in the cockpit with no correction or explanation for what I was doing wrong. It only took a few flights with him for me to call it quits and get another instructor. Now that I am currently studying to become a cfi myself, I want to teach the way you do. Flying is such a beautiful experience and I cant wait to share it with those eager to learn the craft. Subscribed!
Thanks for posting this! I'm about to take my CFI checkride. I'm a little nervous to take a student up for the first time but this is really re-assuring to see.
Love how chill and laid back you are, also you make it fun, like when you got excited to fly through the "God light"
So good! Especially the trim part. Don’t think I’ve ever had it explained that perfectly.
2.5 hours in to my training, wish I could fly with ya.. I love the temperament .. you’ve broken down the pieces to meaningful digestible chunks. The fact that you’re training videos include a lm actual trainee is very thoughtful and consequently fruitful. Looking forward to more content and hopefully running into you in the future flight plans
Love this video! You explained everything as it’s happening. Really helps understanding how the controls work. I’m 67 years old and recently retired and this video makes me want to learn to fly and get my PLL! 👍🏼
This is going to work out super !! The cockpit atmosphere is calm and relaxed and Sienna is flying with her fingertips. I look forward to watching the joy of Learning.
Thank you so much. As someone who is working to become a pilot, I find videos like this fascinating. Loved it
🤩 wow that was so fun to watch ! Loved it. I have a good friend that works in Flight safety and has got me in a sim on two different occasions. As you can imagine I’m hooked! Being able to see these basic maneuvers has been great! Awesome channel! Greetings from DFW
You are an awesome instructor. I'll be doing my bucketlist when I retire. I hope I come along an instructor like you. Godspeed.
This is what a students wants as an instructor, someone who doesn’t pressure them and is helpful just as much as you.
Great video Chris. I just started training myself. I truly appreciate all the work you put into your videos along with all the tips. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies 🤘🇺🇸🛩️
Glad you enjoyed it. More to come.
This is awesome Chris! You are a model of what a good teacher is!
Awesome job. You are a natural instructor. The young lady was very comfortable and confident.
Love the videos, I have my CFI checkride in a week, it’s good to see teaching from another perspective
I really love your videos, they sort of prepare me mentally towards my checkride🤩
Great lesson in teaching the student to feel what the flight controls are doing without relying on instruments.
I loved your video I have seen a lot of videos kinda like this about lessons but you are so good at teaching. Keep up the good work!
Oh! That landing!! Gorgeous touchdown
This is the best genuine real lesson, thank you for sharing this 👍🏽
When I went on my first flight was night and day to what you taught this lady. Good job and keep it up!
I’m 12, but am already considering flight training. I probably won’t become a pilot, but I am very much a plane nerd. I feel like there is always more to learn! So much info, and so many planes.
Same bro
too, 17.8 i am gonna fly my first time and i have stress
@@Densen999 how was it bro? :)
same
Young man/woman there has never been a better time to become a pilot. You can certainly do it if you wish!
In Complete control of the Flight. Clarity of thought while explaining to the Student. Great Job Mate. 😍
Great video. You explain everything very well and in a understanding way. Really making me want to get my instructor rating!
Such a brilliant flight instructor.I've learnt lots yet I have no background in it nor in science. Thanks a lot for sharing. ❤
awsome video, was planning to only watch it for the first minute but the video was so interesting I didn't notice time was passing by until you smoothly landed the plane. Great job!
You are a great teacher showing how the trim can help or hurt and that stall demonstrating builds alot of confidence that the plane wants to fly it doesnt like to stop flying and that stalls are not this aggressive nose snaps down things hit the ceiling event
What an awesome place and crew to learn. Your channel as given me the motivation to get into flying and I will be contacting flight schools shortly, but unfortunately I'm near Ottawa. If only I was closer to your school. Keep the good content coming. Cheers!
Liked how you explained about the trim. Really simply but accurately wow.
I love planes and I've dreamt for a long time to become a pilot but was allways afraid of it and didn't believe I could do it but this video gives me a lot of courrage and confidence! Thank you! 😊
WOW, I am just starting the lessons and I love this. Thank you so much.
I've decided to get my pilots license this year. It's something I've always wanted to do. I hope my instructor is this patient. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Very cool, i am a new pilot in training and thank my friend pilot for his training, it is a great feeling being in control of such machines that defy gravity under your control, enjoying it every moment.
Dear AoT, I am a prv pilot with about 500 hrs. This is a great video, it brings back many momories for me. I remember doing T and gos, and stalls power on and power off, turns about a point and many, many others. I used to fly out of Akron Canton Airport and had the time of my life. I sence had a stroke which endded my flying dreams of becoming an Airline Pilot, but I love airplanes and the teachers that train. Thank you kindly for bring back the memories.
More of this please! Would love to see her progress through flight training to solo
That's the plan!
@@angleofattack how old do you need to be to do this lesson?
17-18! Depends on the country. @@ThatTrendHouse
Enjoyable video, thank you !
I took my discovery flight 5 months ago,I love airplane ✈️. You are a good instructor god bless you.
Hello, im a freshman student at usu and in reality I was doubting myself about becoming a pilot. I’ve been studying my senior year of Highschool but I just had a lot of doubt. When I look at this channel I realized that it looks so amazing to learn how to fly a plane and I wanna work hard for it. I learned about how when you make trims that it relieves the control pressure when the altitude has been changed. I want to be a pilot and I’m going to keep watching your videos cause it amazes me how cool it is to fly.
I hope my CFI is as cool as you. I’m doing a career change at 51. Studying for my written. I have a combination of excitement, fear, uncertainty, doubt, and joy. Your videos are exquisite!
Bravo 👏. Gift of teaching indeed
This is an absolutely lovely and inspiring video. Thanks very much for sharing it
Super glad she's going down that path! We all love seeing new pilots be born! I got my PPL in June of this year, and it's really interesting just going back to the basics to reinforce the foundations.
Yup, gotta keep going back to the basics, always.
Please am from Nigeria. An aspiring pilot. Please i need guīdance
I love these videos! So informative! Can’t wait to start my journey
I like this guys teaching style and attitude. Seems like a good personality instructor. I want my instructor to be like this guy
Thank you for the video. Great lessons from a great instructor
This flight lesson video is an incredible glimpse into the early stages of flight training. It's inspiring to witness the student's progress and the detailed guidance provided by the instructor. The thorough explanations and visuals make it an engaging and educational experience. Kudos to both the student and the instructor for sharing this valuable insight into the world of aviation! ✈🛫
Watching this video and loved it! Great job
One day I want to get my license. THIS is awesome to watch! You explain things so well!
You can do it!
An excellent instructional video. Your videos are top shelf.
Great instruction! Teaching the why and how is the mark of a great flight instructor
This is Amazing. You’re a wonderful teacher. Well done.
ur a cool teacher, i admire you sir
You are an amazing instructor! Love the overall attitude and atmosphere (two puns).
I'm not a pilot but fly MSFS 2020, these video's and your explantions of things have really improved my simulator flying. Thanks
Really great and informative. My discovery flight is coming this Monday. Very excited!
I'm so lucky to find this chanel out! Thank you!😊
Keep up the great work, Chris!
Enjoyed the flight video as I am in the process of getting started on earning my private pilot certification in Tennessee. You are a great instructor!
I absolutely love your videos I'm learning to become a pilot keep up your amazing work brother
on my first ever flight, my instructor took of, climbed about 3000ft and then gave me controls. Very nice takeoff with smooth and small yoke movements for first time. well done!!
An excellent video. Well explained. Thank you!
that was so interesting, informative and exciting!!! omg, now i want to try!
Excellent teacher. I flew with an instructor and a mechanic at a Cessna dealership and flight school. We were on a test flight in a 172. The instructor let the mechanic fly and try to land the aircraft. Now this was back in 1971. Befor any LCD instrument screens, Wi-Fi, or any of that modern day instrumentation. As we approached the runway to land the mechanic hit the tail hook on the pavement 3 times befor the instructor took over. The instructor never gave any info like you did in this video. I did not know landing was that simple and easy. The plane was landing itself.
That was awesome, I'm saving up to start my path towards my CPL license gotta get my RPL and PPL first wish it wasn't so expansive as I want to start already especially after watching this I hope all mentors are like you
I've been watching lots of IFR flying and it's great to watch and learn VFR seat-of-the-pants flying. I'm inspired to give it a try.
Astonishing “Prop Clear!” technique you displayed to this student!
Thank you so much for this video I really enjoyed it and I’m planning to get my PPL so this tells me what to generally expect. Thanks again
I grew up in Alaska and lived in Homer for 10 years! I flew all the time there and would love to get my license some day. I’m so excited to find your channel! Little bit of home and aviation.
