You're absolutely right, Brady. Most of us do this for the fun and thrill of it. Training can be stressful and repetitious, and sometimes we need to remind ourselves how much fun it is just to go somewhere and hang out with other aviation "nuts"!

Its good to see you are up in the air again. Coming back after that much time off can be frustrating to some students. I have on thing that I have found helpful for many students on the emergency procedures. My checklist for a failed engine in ABCDE. Still very easy to remember. A-airspeed, B-best landing spot, C-cockpit check and checklist, D-declair (squack 7700, talk to ATC or anyone who can hear you), E-execute. The last is the one that most people fail to do and what causes most non fatal injuries in an off field landing. Execute includes securing things in the plane, shutting off unneeded components and opening a door. These little things can do a lot to prevent further injuries in off field landings. Those last two on the checklist I added after my own experience with a couple off field landings.
Nice job. Keep up the good work.

Glad to see you flying again. One question I have is about the stall horn. I never hear it go off when you are practicing your stalls.

Brady - I have been getting the EAA E-Hotline Newsletter via my email for some time now. I have seen your blogs posted in them and never taken the time to watch them. Today though I needed a diversion and I watched your latest.
I must say I enjoyed watching! This is a wonderful tool to introduce new pilots to the joy of aviation….and a wonderful tool to prod an old student pilot who gave up flying many years ago to get married and start a family. Heck… who knows…your video here may one day motivate me to get back in the cockpit and fly again. It is amazing the options a student has now over the cramped old C152’s I used to fly.
Keep up the good work! Kudos to you and the EAA Team for starting a great series that will attract new pilots to aviation.

I agree w/ Bob - stall horn noise would be nice. I mentioned engine noise in an earlier post but, actually, all outside sounds would be useful (engine, stall horn, wheels hitting pavement, etc.).
BTW, the Cessna 152 I flew when I was a kid had a stall horn but the Piper Cherokee I recently flew did not have a horn - only a light on the dashboard. I really prefer the horn.

Bob: Good question about the stall horn. The plane we're using doesn't have a stall warning horn or light. Since this is the only plane I've trained in, I've never missed it. The newer Remos GX might have one - I'm not sure. Do other LSAs have stall horns or is this one of the extras that is eliminated in most LSAs?
Joel: I like you're addition to the emergency procedures. Thanks for sharing.

You could add checklist to your ABC CDE but after the engine blows up i am going to let some one know before i dig out the checklist
because due to people fixating on the checklist instead of FLYING the plane. good job keeping comen

I am just learning about sport aviation and private pilot training, but really enjoyed watching your professional (no music playing)manner of advice and not too technical. The plane looks great too. Here in Washington, D.C. we have a lot of restricted airspace - like all of it now. But I love the UTUBE help from pilots who don't just but poor comedy flights with no real training. I will be working with the inevitable Cessna 172 out of Montgomery County Airpark (9/11 waiver executive airport). Keep posting on UTube your excellent training videos.
Sincerely,
John G. Salisbury maritime lawyer who orginally started his career from an FAA lawyer buddy from lawschool who was aready a PP when I met him at lawschool. He got me the job at Dept. of Transportation. He worked at FAA with ultra-light regulatory law. I am sure he is an expert on this new "Sport Pilot" certification concept. Certainly gives one a chance to fly without having a lot of expensive aircraft to deal with.
