I am definitely one that has this same type of nervousness that comes from a lack of confidence, but also from having very high standards for my own proficiency and being hard on myself for making mistakes. I like to think it makes me a better pilot at the end of the day 😉 As far as steep turns go, nothing better than hitting that prop wash and knowing you nailed it.

Nice video! I teach to always start clearing turns to the left first because if a aircraft is taking you over from behind they should pass off your right and you don’t want to turn into them.

I absolutely love the falling leaf stall demo. As a student it can be tiring to go up and hear "Okay show me slow flight, power on/off stalls, steep turns...etc." over and over again. A falling leaf stall demonstrates a mastery of the aircraft, adds variety to flight training, and goes above & beyond what's required in the ACS. Also, excellent flying Rob! I'm guilty of making the same landing face. Awesome t-shirt btw.

I’m a ppl working on instruments and would have loved to have a CFII of your caliber. You truly have a gift of relating to people and setting them at ease. Not many instructors have that gift. Keep up the good work! Like to know how the airline gig is going too.

BFRs were fun to do - most of the time. I had a guy come for a flight review years ago and started off with "If you fail me, I am not coming back. I've been flying for 10 years and have 130 hours." Looking back on that situation with what I know now 20+ years later, that guy should have been sent home and to another flight school because that attitude is hazardous on so many levels. BFRs can't be failed, but additional training may be required and there is nothing wrong with that if extra training is needed. Pilots need to go into BFRs knowing that and know it's a session meant to help improve and refresh their flying skills and knowledge and bring up any recent changes to FARs, procedures, etc.

Simply a great video. Such good information unpacked in this video. Rob is better than he thinks he is and your demeanor disarms and establishes confidence in folks. Flying is so.much fun. I try to fly 2-3 hours a week. This week I’m on a business trip thinking I should quit so I can fly more. That’s not really an option but I do love when I can fly for business. Keep these videos coming. They keep me inspired to fly more! Rob’s video at the end was the perfect. No head swelling!

Steep turn to the left for me when flying from the left seat. I feel my body weight in a left turn below the horizon gives more stability and the aircraft "sits in the turn" as it were with less effort and input . A steep turn to the right I feel my body weight above the horizon and I feel I have to balance the aircraft more delicately and the opposite way round when flying from the right seat.

Rob... friendly advise here. i used to have a yoke mount, and i switched out for a suction cup mount, and i mount mine to the left glass between the panel and the door in the Cessna 172 boat edition. It works great, and it is not moving around when i need to touch it, and the placement allows me to see if close up, as i also have transition glasses. and it works MUCH better being up high than down low. THe suction mount is like 40 bucks i think.

@@LewDixAviation awesome. Yeah i started my Instrument "training" last night, with a friend that just needs to take his CFII check ride in a week. I flew under the foggles for 2.5 hours, and did 2 ILS approaches and an RNAV. my first approach looked like a snake, the last 2 were pretty descent. But having the IPAD mini up high, allows me to keep it in the line of sight for the flow, so that i am not flying head down in the clouds and get vertigo. A HUGE plus having it mounted high.

That was great! I'm older and just got my PPL a year and a half ago. I have almost 250 hours, but I still won't do stalls on my own. The steep turns I do in the light sport aircraft I fly are pretty good, but as soon as I do one in a C172, it goes to hell in a hand basket.
@TheBrennan90

It's just a matter of knowing the airplane. Every airplane flies differently. I still don't like stalls as a cfi but it's important that we can get in and out of them on our own. And be proficient in recovery. A lot of anxiety stems from not knowing. I recomend really doing deep into the aerodynamics of a stall so there are no unknowns when you do them. That's what helped me.

Another Excellent video Lew! Rob, you did an amazing job! I too am starting work on commercial. After some time not flying, I find that I have lost confidence too.I have found this is more pronounced when I fly alone. Each flight instructor I fly with says similar things and never really touches the controls.I have found in my case, it probably has more to do with flying infrequently than anything. Currency does not equal proficiency, but proficiency usually does equal confidence, right? Currently, I am doing alot of PPL review, mixed in with commercial study to revisit those fundamentals...Which you can never really do too much. My hope is that between that and flying as much as my schedule and my wallet will allow, I will get it back, knock out commercial and then on to CFI/II. Best of luck in that same journey Rob! Lew, thanks again for continuing to educate and inspire sir!
