In this podcast we talk about hand-propping an airplane, that is, starting the engine by spinning the propeller by hand rather than using an electric starter. Since some of our awesome vintage aircraft out there still do not have starters installed, this is often the only way you are going to be able to go fly one of those old birds!

In this podcast we'll take you through making a crosswind landing in a Piper Warrior. We don't recommend you try it in as much wind as we did! We had a 90 degree crosswind @17 knot Gusting to 25 Knots. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/QW0naHmdUBE Check out the crosswind landings course online at FLY8MA.com!

In this podcast you'll see an example of the quick way to get out of a Class C airport (like KSRQ or KRSW). When you don't want to talk to departure and be assigned headings and altitudes to fly, and you'd rather just go it on your own, you can try out this phraseology to get you on your way a little faster!

Here we'll walk you through the basics of what your instructor will expect from you when introducing you to flight by reference to instruments or "hood work". You'll be placed under the hood, or under the foggles, and expected to make several climbs, turns, descents, all while keeping a vigilant scan on the instrument panel.

Later on in training, you will be introduced to unusual attitudes which you can preview in another one of our videos on our channel page.

In this video we'll walk you through the process for completing a short field takeoff in a piper cherokee, the procedure is very similar in most small GA aircraft. Ultimately your goal is to ensure you are making full power and have minimum drag on the airplane during your takeoff roll.

Check out our site at http://www.fly8MA.com

This podcast describes how to make a successful soft field (grass runway) takeoff in a Cessna 172. This technique will work for almost all GA airplanes. Make sure you stay within ground effect until you have achieved a safe airspeed to climb away from the ground.

Here we'll show you how to depart from a class Delta airport and request VFR flight following while on the ground before departure. This way you will already have your squawk code assigned and a departure frequency assigned to you before you take off from the class D airport. This is very similar to how you would depart a class charlie airport, receiving a squawk code and departure frequency before changing from ground to the tower frequency. https://youtu.be/4iquR2MZg9A

This podcast shows you how to depart a non-towered airport, from within the boundaries of a class D airport. Here we show you how to contact the towered and also monitor the CTAF while departing out of the grass strip. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/twA1kVNUi9o

In this podcast we'll take you through the basics of practicing touch and go landings with your CFI. As you progress through training, your instructor will schedule flights with much more emphasis on staying in the pattern and practicing more and more landings. This will help prep you for what to expect! https://youtu.be/6xfbueYvHGo

Here we'll walk you through the proper steps and priorities in the aircraft when you decide to execute a "go around", the tower instructs you to go around, or your panicked instructor calls "go around."
