This lesson is all about radio talk. You'll learn how Lizzy communicates with the Tower and get some refreshers on the radio alphabet and controlled & uncontrolled airports. Lizzy is going to walk you through some of her typical radio talk. Ready for another adventure? This is how Lizzy & Stella roll (literally). Check out some of their aerobatic adventures & flying fun! Are you ready to roll? Here's to posting the 21st lesson on the 21st of July. This is from a flight Lizzy & Stella did on 7.7.2024. Lizzy's going to walk you through Vyctor's instrument panel. She'll explain what she needs to check before taking off and heading up into the air with Stella by her side. Are you ready to fly? This latest lesson is all about flaps. Lizzy's going to teach you when & why she uses flaps on her plane and how it affects her landing. You'll get a review of CYSN's configuration and also get to meet up with Honey once again, our runway retriever. Lizzy and Stella will likely get back up in the air more often during the summer months and they are looking forward to more adventures in the air. Some super exciting news! We have a newly illustrated cast of characters.
Are you ready for another adventure? Check out this latest lesson to learn more about Visual Flight Rules (VFR) & Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Follow Lizzy & Stella as they fly to CNZ8. Ready to fly? Happy 2024! Since we just entered a new year, it's probably a good time to post about planning. This was actually our last lesson of 2023, and Stella & Lizzy are excited for another year of flying together. Planning is an important part of anything that you do. It could be planning what to do today, planning how to accomplish a particular goal, or planning the steps needed to get to where you want to go. Today, we'll talk about flight planning. There are lots of elements that go into planning a flight. Lizzy needs to consider things like: -departure airport -flight route -destination -flight duration -fuel -passengers -weather conditions -arrival airport Lizzy always plans ahead. This helps to keep her and Stella safe. What about you? What do you like to plan? Are you ready to join Lizzy & Stella on this carefully planned adventure? This lesson is mostly about winds. Knowing the weather, particularly wind speed and direction, is crucial. A pilot needs to know the wind speed and direction before flight, while in the air and before landing the plane. You'll learn about: 1. Headwinds 2. Tailwinds 3. Crosswinds You'll also get to see Lizzy & Stella fly over Frank's field and land the plane at CYSN. Although Lizzy & Stella concentrated on level flight during this adventure, you'll still get to see a recent video of Lizzy doing what Lizzy does best, aerobatics. Are you ready for another adventure? This lesson is short. However, our memory of these flights will last a long time. Stella got to fly with Andrea in a Decathlon and perform a bunch of new stunts. She had the chance to fly sustained inverted and to find out what it's like to fly with someone other than Lizzy in a plane other than Vyctor. Despite some initial nervousness, she did awesome! The fun didn't stop there. Andrea took me up to do some circuits around CYSN. In the end, Lizzy got to fly the plane! It was an amazing day at the airport thanks to Andrea and Scott. A huge shoutout to them for their knowledge, generosity and time. Stella gets to experience some pretty cool stuff and I'm grateful to those individuals who encourage her and take her under their wings (literally in this case). Are you up for another adventure? Lizzy & Stella went to check out Tillsonburg Airport's annual Wings & Wheels event on September 16th. Check it out below. I am often the one watching Stella & Lizzy fly. However, it was finally my turn to get up in the air with Lizzy & test out level and aerobatic flight. I learned a few things from this experience: 1. I'll likely go ahead and get my pilot's licence when Stella gets hers. That'll be in a few years. 2. Level flight is definitely for me, aerobatics aren't. It was cool to get to do a few stunts though. 3. Ginger Gravol tastes the same on the way down as it does on the way back up. Needless to say, Stella's better built for aerobatics. I did, however, hold it together until after the third stunt. I got to fly the plane, which was pretty cool. The last time I've flown out of CYSN was with my dad. It was amazing to view the Niagara Region from above and to have the chance to see Niagara Falls from an elevated angle. This video is really where flight and touring the Niagara Region intersect. You'll get to see some videos of Niagara Falls and Ball's Falls and to see things from a much more elevated point of view. Are you ready for another adventure? |
