Student Pilot PPL training flight – Moorabbin Airport
I am Backseating (And filming) a flight from Moorabbin airport (YMMB) to Leongatha (YLEG) airport in Victoria, Australia. We flew via the Wonthaggi (WON) VOR station, practicing VOR intercepts as part of late-PPL early-CPL training. The student pilot, sitting in the left hand seat, was under instruction.

Lol. Just lol.
Investigate 9/11-
The alleged hijackers couldn’t even fly a Cessna according to their flight instructor.. yet somehow manage to hit 75% of their targets dead on in a cockpit they’ve never been in before?
No way.
pilot exams available online at 50 dollars only.
@cessnaclub
“Numbers” for the C172S for Approach/Landing as per OAA SOPs
Airspeed – 75 knots base. 70 knots final. 65 knots over the threshold. (I think you’d find that since the POH instructs pilots to hold an approach speed of 61 knots on a short field landing, a 70 knot final with 65 knot threshold overfly is far from ‘unsafe’)
Wingflaps – AS DESIRED below 84 knots
Airspeed – 65 knots over threshold. 55 knots is below that even for a shortfield landing if you look at the POH.
@1Gaumer It’s an early warning/identification system…. if you see them coming… park your plane and dive for cover
lol
just kidding
@MrMasterMinecraftMan
I can’t, actually. It’s just being billed as I go…and I’m ever so slowly increasing my debt to the government. If all goes to plan, it will be over 70-80 grand after I finish.
damn. flying by glass. i dont get how people afford that
@1Gaumer
No we don’t actually. The reason we have them on is laziness I suppose…While on the tarmac/apron at Moorabbin Airport we are required to wear them (Day and Night). The only reason we have them on often is because most of us can’t be bothered taking them off while in the plane.
… do you guys seriously have to wear high visibility vests while flying?
@cessnaclub actually i lost my ASIC, can you please give back my ARN??? would be real helpfull. kthxbai
@warriorpa28flyer I dont know if you are or are not on facebook or whatever but I can post your name address,ph numbers,your mommy and daddys first last names phone numbers what your ARN is etc etc BUT I DONT THINK YOU WANT TO GO THERE.
@cessnaclub cheers mate, i see you found myspace. Congratulations. Have a freaking medal
@warriorpa28flyer Yes Matt I will reply to this so it makes you happy.
@warriorpa28flyer Its very easy to wind up an uneducated person.Good day fly safe
@cessnaclub sorry, i forgot your not my mate, your a dickhead! My mistake (and believe me, its a very big mistake for missing that richard hanging off your forehead)
@cessnaclub yeah right, i bet you dont care, your still gonna open this up and have a look and think about a whitty remark. Go on, do it, you know your ego wants to….
@warriorpa28flyer Im not starting wars with anyone and as a matter of fact i never involved you but you were the one that thought that your 2cents and wealth of knowledge was important so if anyone started anything it was you.PS do not reply anymore i seriously dont give a fuck what u have to say.
@warriorpa28flyer im not your fucking mate pindick…
@warriorpa28flyer Better be carefull kid!!!
@cessnaclub Nah im pretty good mate, you keep your logbook. Hide it behind your identity and go out and start wars on youtube. You seem to be doing brilliantly with myself and my mates on here. Thanks for trolling jackass
@flyboy172r Mate I seriously dont care im probably not even going to watch it so dont bother. Good luck in your flying training keep safe.
@cessnaclub
I’m gunna give you an ultimatum. If I upload a video, referancing the accuracy of what I’m trying to tell you, and the inaccuracy on your part, do you agree to leave me alone? Watch this space, I’ll film it tonight.
@theaussiepilot
They won’t even pay my landing fees at Canberra as part of the hire cost lol!
bahahaha first time i’ve heard OAA called cheap
@cessnaclub dont know what your on about cause my logbook says completely different. Obviously your believing everything you read, but CHAMP!!! im just hiding my identity just as much as you are. When was the last time a PB student had a CFIT… certainly not as long ago as GFS/OAA did and if you know the SOPs for such a school one would believe you trained there. I feel sorry for you. Maybe one day you will be sent first solo… and of course end it in a CFIT maybe near mt hotham (away from me)
