These short videos are designed to support your flight training by reinforcing what you cover in the aircraft with your instructor. They are a study aid, not a substitute for dual instruction — every flight is different, and the techniques shown should always be applied in the context of your aircraft type, conditions on the day, and the guidance of your CFI.

​

We'll be adding more videos over time as the library grows. For now, the three available cover core handling skills every recreational pilot needs to be confident and competent with.

​

1. Normal & Crosswind Take Off and Climb 

Walks through a standard departure and how the technique adapts when the wind isn't down the runway. Focus on into-wind aileron, directional control, and a clean, stable climb attitude.

​

2. Normal & Crosswind Approach & Landing 

Covers the approach, round-out, and touchdown for both still-air and crosswind conditions, including the crab and wing-down methods. Emphasis on stable approach criteria and knowing when to go around.

​

3. Steep Turns 

Demonstrates the entry, hold, and recovery of a steep turn, with attention to attitude, back pressure, power, and lookout. A key skill for building confidence in aircraft handling and developing your "feel" for the controls.

​

Watch them before your lesson to prepare, and again afterward to review. If anything in a video doesn't match what you've been taught — ask your instructor. Local procedures, aircraft type, and conditions always take priority over a generic demonstration.

Fly safe, fly prepared.
