Recreational Pilot Licence: Lesson #1 Video

[Romeo Juliet Whiskey]

Hi everybody, I'm learning to gain my recreational pilots licence and have started uploading videos of my lessons to share my experiences and learnings with other student pilots.

 

In the first lesson I get introduced to the Jabiru 170D and re-familiarise myself with the basics of flying an aeroplane: climbing, trimmed level flight, co-ordinated turns, and effect of controls. The video is unedited so you can experience the whole training lesson from pre-start to engine shutdown:

 

 

 

 

If you have any feedback or questions then please leave a comment. I hope you find this useful.

 

About me (Romeo Juliet Whiskey)

 

I'm a student pilot learning to fly in my spare time. I originally received 30 hours of flying instruction 17 years ago and now I'm back in the cockpit and learning how to fly all over again.

 

Currently flying out of Wollongong (YWOL), Australia in light sport aircraft such as the Jabiru and Pipestrel alpha with Fly Illawarra:
