My name is Rodney Fielitz I'm a certified flight instructor in Cottonwood, AZ and I'm here to give you the basics of what it takes to become a pilot. Now we're doing an elevated speed, once we get about 60 bring in a little more pressure, now you can see what the wind is doing to me, it's pushing me. It pushes the nose down and let it accelerate a little bit bumpy today. Now we're going 85 knots right now I'm maintaining at a speed I just want it to cline and get it out of the valley here. See my field gages? It show they're both about full, we only have 17 gallons inside never trust your field gages. We have all kinds of radios in here; this is my speed it tells me how fast I'm going through the air, this shows pitch of the banks, it tells me my rated turns, this show my altitude of climbing, this corresponds it shows me how many feet per minute I'm climbing, and this shows the direction I'm going. This instrument shows you turn bank, the ball shows you the coordination of the turn, so if you're outside of the ball the ball is outside you have to put more ruder in. And this plane it has ruder control and now we are descending or climbing out the pattern and we're almost at a 1,000 above sea level.
