Learntoflyeasy.com will become you official Coach . we will work with
you in a new method that is less expensive then the old way to become a
private pilot . We will supply you with everything you need from the
reading material right to connection for the aircraft. As you r new
flight coach we will stay with you until you pass your test. After hat
we want you to continue your education your and keep abreast of
all the changes with NASA.
Congratulations,
you’re on your way to becoming a sport pilot. This is a very new type license issued by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). I’m going to walk you through an easy-to-learn procedure, then turn you over with all the knowledge to ace your test with an approved sport pilot test designee that will approve or disapprove your performance. If by chance, you are disapproved, at no extra cost we will re-teach you the failed areas until you are approved. Your entire life will change once you learn to fly “The Highways in the Sky” flying in the box using new GPS and simple to fly special sport pilot approved aircraft.
The Description of an Airplane
You need to know, not just for yourself but to describe it to others. So let’s begin. A high wing is when the wing is above. A low wing is when the wing is below the fuselage. A prop plane describes the propeller on the engine. A prop with a very large exhaust usually is a turbo prop. When describing a jet tell how many engines. The tri-cycle landing gear we covered earlier. A tail wheel aircraft has a small wheel on the tail. So as an example, I’m going to describe a plane: it’s a high-wing, fixed-gear, which by the way, the other gear is referred to as retractable. A high-wing, fixed gear, single engine prop plane. Or a retractable gear, low-wing, twin engine. I want you to learn all of these. There will be a number of variations which I can’t cover all of them. But an example, if the engine is reversed and the prop is behind we refer to this as a “pusher.” Example, Lake Aircraft, has a pusher engine. Now a very important subject—directions.
I don’t want you to laugh when I give you my version, because much later in the lessons you will see why I’m saying what I’m saying. Everyone knows what a compass is. I want you to draw a circle on a sheet of paper. At the top of the circle put an “N” and 360. On the bottom of the zero put “S” and 180. On the right half way down put “E” and 90. Half way down on the left put “W” and 270 for west. Now when we refer to north we are going to call that Santa Claus. When we refer to south, which is 180, we are going to call this “Fidel Castro.” If you were in Florida we say East, which is 90, it would be the Bahamas or the Queen of England. If we say West we, which is where President Bush is from, we call this Bush. When you’re in an airplane it’s very easy to get lost. So I’m going to cover this now and later pretty extensively.
If you have money and your positive that you’re on your way to becoming a pilot, I want you to buy two items and start using them immediately. When you get in your car every time, from now on, before you start the car, I want you to say the direction you’re headed—either Santa Claus, which is north, or Castro, which is south, and so on. And I mean every solid time you get in your car before you start the engine say one of these four directions. When you pull out of the driveway and make turns I want you to think if your headed towards Queen Elizabeth, George Bush, etc. Now the two items I want you to buy: #1 and Garmin GPS Moving Map, and #2 an ICOM, hand-held, push-to-talk radio. I want you to put these in your car and before you start your car, say out loud which direction your Garmin says you’re headed and turn on your radio after pushing on your Garmin “Nearest Airport” dial in the frequency shown and listen to the broadcast. When you leave a certain area and you’re headed towards Fidel Castro look at your GPS and tell me the next airport coming up. This will help you big time when you get in the air to be able to manipulate these two very important instruments. And by the way if you don’t have the money to buy these, I’ll take later on—hints—to make things easier for you. If you do buy them and later on do not need them, they will sell very easily.
Now let’s make believe we’re in the plane getting ready to take off. I want you to draw another line on your sheet of paper which represents a runway. Make the line three or four inches long. We’re in the airplane sitting on the runway, ready to go. You are in the left seat—you are pilot in command. I’m like the little bird on your shoulder, advising you of things to do. But you are pilot in command. You’re going to sit here in the left seat from the very beginning. The runway line is there for a purpose. You keep it between you legs as you proceed down the runway. Do not, and I stress again, Do Not, let yourself wander left and right. Keep the line between your legs. The only gauge you care about for now, is the only one—the altimeter—how high you are. I don’t care about the radio, I don’t care about the oil gauge. I only care about the altimeter, period. I want you to run down the runway with full power, with the throttle, not the gas pedal, I repeat the throttle, pushed all the way in. When the plane lifts off the runway, I want you to climb to 400’, not 300’ not 350’, exactly 400’. Keep your looking eyes out the window and immediately turn left. Climb 400’ more and where are you now? Think. You’re at 800’. Turn left again. Look out the window to your left and where are you? You’re looking at the runway, where you just left from. Now fly halfway down the runway and pull the throttle back. Go down 400’ and turn left, drop another 400’ and you’re right back where you started. After you do this 100 times, you’re ready for the next step. Congratulations, student pilot, you just flew the pattern.
Now you have a taste of how I'm going to teach you your ground school. Come back soon and the next class will be posted.
(This award-winning two place plane can be yours in a kit form (easy to build) or factory finished.)
Easy Transport, Easy Storage
This is one of the only aircraft in the world with fold-up wings allowing you to trailer and tow it down the highway. It can also be stored in the garage, taking no more room than the average SUV. Hangar expense is eliminated.
