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 just got a surprise gift to take an introductory course on a cessna 172 TODAY and your video is very helpful. Nice to see you this calm, gives me confidence😂
This is perfect, l have been looking for a video clip like this, which gives a simple straightforward explanation of the instrument panel. These are some of those times you truly appreciate the internet. Thanks, man. Appreciate it 🙏🏿

Brilliant video thank you, if only I was 20 yrs younger I would have loved to have learned to fly, it's just so fascinating to me. 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

I'd like to know: do you own your airplane or can you rent one? I know nothing about this industry unfortunately.
@FreedomFlight1

You can do either. Renting is usually the best option starting out.
Thanks for the recommended purchases and FAA downloads. Got my books ordered, but the FAA links no longer work. Both take you to a page not found message.

I think there is much to learn on the ground long before any take off or flying in the air. I mean ALOT to learn on the ground.
@FreedomFlight1

Well the more you learn on the ground prior certainly will help and make flying more efficient. Personally, I jumped right in and learned the book side of things concurrently while flying but…I’m impatient ha. Thx for watching!
What is the device that I see pilots rolling with the palm of their hands? Sometimes in movies you see a ball or something. What's it called?

What do you mean by "co-ordinating" a turn?
@FreedomFlight1
Жыл бұрын
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.

Well you can certainly learn a lot on those. Some of my most impressive students over the years were ones that routinely flew a simulator at home, no joke! Thx for watching.
