Hello!
I’m Jules, a real-life CFI and aviation enthusiast. You may recognize me from the TYFBMC flights here or my old Twitch stream.
This Lessons with Jules series is all about learning to fly. We’ll work through all the topics of the Private ACS and Commercial ACS, and I hope each lesson helps you learn a bit more about aviation.
This first lesson will cover preflight, taxing, and post-flight procedures, including topics like:
- Preflighting the pilot (IMSAFE); Weather and TFRs; Sampling Fuel
- Positioning controls relative to wind while taxing, Airport taxi diagrams
- Documenting flight time
We’ll also go for a nice casual flight in the middle – similar to what you might experience on a demo flight.
If you’d like to fly along, I’ll be in the Cessna 172 (6-pack) and flying out of KPAO.
See you at the hangar!
Jules
P.s. The current plan is to stream on Twitch, and use Twitch chat for discussion. And although each lesson builds on the previous content, I’ll attentive to folks joining for just a periodic lesson when they can.
P.p.s. Although I am a CFI, this content is meant only to improve your knowledge of flying. It is not meant to replace working with your own CFI nor replace a ground school. If you’re interested in learning to fly, I highly recommend a demo flight!
