Cessna Cockpit Tour | Instrument Panel Explanation

If you are new to flying, here is a brief tour and explanation of everything on the instrument panel of our Cessna 172. I hope it helps you!
Here is my list of recommended things to purchase if you are just getting started flying. Regardless of where you learn to fly, it is good to have these on hand. The FAA manuals can be downloaded for free but I still prefer to have a printed copy. You can purchase from Amazon here:
AIRPLANE FLYING HANDBOOK amzn.to/3WmsIfi
PILOTS HANDBOOK OF AERONAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE amzn.to/37XxsE2
FAR/AIM amzn.to/3vkXsln
PILOT LOGBOOK I recommend if just getting started: amzn.to/3zOxfxi
and also download pdf versions for free from the FAA here:

    I love your videos. I am 35 years old with two children and after postponing my interest in aviation so many times I recently booked my introductory flight. Continue with the quality of your videos. Greetings from Puerto Rico!

    Awesome, great job taking that first step! It is never too late to start, plenty of people start flying MUCH later than you are. There is so much opportunity in aviation right now, both for a career and just for fun. Keep this momentum going, you wont regret it.

    Almost 30 here with two babies too and super excited to have my introductory flight tomorrow. I have been studying, taking notes and got all my material. It’s just the financing part that I’m a bit scared too but totally doable to accomplish PPL and go all the way to ATP. Just keep going!

I'm a driving instructor (cars) and although this in itself is an interesting job when people are learning to drive a car but know very little, it's nothing compared to aviation

    Thanks for watching. A coordinated turn, is a turn made with the proper combination of aileron and rudder inputs. Too much or too little rudder input can lead to a "slip" or "skid". Here's a great article in Flying Magazine that might help you... www.flyingmag.com/technique-tip-week-coordinated-turns/

    I know it’s expensive and hard to do. Start small and take every step you can to learn anything you can. Keep looking for opportunities to be around airplanes and pilots. Try seeing if there are any opportunities working at a local airport especially at a flight achool. It’s a great way to get to know people. There are a ton of free resources online that can also help you learn.
