He seems shocked Maybe I should mention I’ve already soloed and getting my requirements fulfilled but I cant help but to think this guy is just having me do dumb stuff. example, He tells me, my next big step is to fly to airport A and I look at him and tell him ,hey I’ve already flowned over there and I did it by myself.

I dont think I have the type of teacher that really even cares. Since Im on the subject what if any advice do you have. He never really have a plan for me its like he's making things up as he goes. In turn wasting my time and money. I often aswhats the lesson for today and he says stuff like "mmmm good question" that makes me feel uneasy. What do I do Nice video, I havent been asked this in a long time . I dont think I have the type of teacher that really even cares. Since Im on the subject what if any advice do you have.

I am planning to actually begin lessons after I obtain my graduate degree next summer, so at this time I'm reading (and, watching videos like this one) as much as I can to hopefully reduce my anxiety towards possible crisis situations (also, stalls etc). I think the author is a great teacher, can you be my instructor? Well, take care and have a safe summer! Tony Hi, What a great learning video regarding the emergency landing!

What a great idea! All situations are circumstantial. Few things I think about: I'd rather a high density of trees than a sparse forest. Trees can be an option but it's a scary one. Depending on the type of plane you're in water is also an option assuming you can land near the shore for quick escape. Roads are a tough call. I really believe if I'm going down I don't want to jeopardize anyone else's life along with mine. However at night.... A road maybe the only option. -Jason Bob,

Could a really good pilot glide right above tree level, then point the nose up at the last minute to try to get it to stall and then drop tail-first into the trees? How about a densely populated area? Would you take your chances on putting it down on a residential road? The video is very good but I wonder about these (way) less than ideal situations...how do you handle these?

You're right on target! If you're on an ATC frequency just make a call on that. However if you're not, 121.5 is always in your back pocket! -Jason Gimli, You kill me! :)

However, one remark. Instead of making a call on 121.5 I prefer to use the frequency I'm currently on. The guy at the other end is already knowing about me, what I do and where I am. I reserve 121.5 for emergencies when I'm not in contact with any ATC unit. Nice post, I like the way you use the simulator.
