Here is a video of my instructor and I doing various maneuvers preparing for my checkride that was a week later. Some of the maneuvers include steep turns, stalls, and zero gravity.

Everyone “dissapointed” by this video should go work for the FAA. Keep your wanna-be tough-guy comments to yourself. These guys are having a blast and you’re jealous! The instructor loves his job, and is practicing safe habits. The pilot did a great job, and both were nice enough to let someone in the back seat. “They’re missing the beers”…I’m sure they had them when they landed, go jerk me a slurpee from 7-11. By the way, who cares if youre “a private pilot yourself” we dont want your advice
Hey Moxley,
It was …
Hey Moxley,
It was around 1.5ish G’s or so. We were doing a 45 degree bank per PTS requirements.
C: If you noticed, …
C: If you noticed, we did have the passenger taking video during the critical phases of flight. As a matter of fact, she was filming most of the time!
Oh, and while we did not have a few beers during this training session as it would have been severely frowned upon by the FAA, there were a few bottles of Mt. Dew consumed on the post flight briefing!
B: Believe it or …
B: Believe it or not, you can observe a student while videoing. As you should know *being a pilot yourself* that to get to this point, a student would have done several hours of flying solo including practicing landings, local area flights, and cross countries. At this point, Aviator did not need the attention a totally new student whom is just learning to fly would need. Anyhow, something that you did not see in the video was the clearing turns made before we executed each maneuver.

Hey Atomic,
I am the instructor from this flight. I must say that I am disappointed that you didn’t like our video. I would like to resolve your complaints though…
A: I agree, this is by no means a King Video or an instructional video. This was a 5 minute excerpt from a training session with a student. It was meant to be fun, not necessarily educational purposes.

There is not. It was one of the last flights before I took my checkride and wanted to know how to safely do the maneuver, so I did it with my instructor instead of trying it on my own later.
Last I checked …
Last I checked there was no zero gravity maneuvers on a ppl Checkride..w/e hope you passed
As a private pilot …
As a private pilot myself I find this video HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING. A: The training aspect of this is laughable. No verbal audio, and endless camera juggling. B, The pilot and instructor seem more interested in hamming it up for the camera rather than doing the maneuvers properly or watching for traffic. C, Seeing how you had a passenger why didn’t you employ some good crew resource management and make him film so you could see what was really going on. The only thing missing is 3 open beers! WEAK
I want him as my …
I want him as my instructor!!
lol yea. I thought …
lol yea. I thought i’d make it look a little dramatic. They’re one of my favorite maneuvers. Thanks for watching!
ohh! I see what …
ohh! I see what happened now, it was the camera that flew into the back seat when you did the manuever. LOL!
your instructor sure seems like an easy going and nice guy, where are you instructed at?
I was looking at …
I was looking at your face when you were doing the zero gravity, you looked a tad bit nervous, but I was too when I did that for the first time, there not my favorite, neither are stalls or steep turns.
Ive never seen an …
Ive never seen an instructor laugh while flying, I wish these ones would down were I live. Gosh!
