This is so awesome! I just installed MSFS yesterday and the training I have been doing with it is on a Cessna 152. I had no idea you could simulate an engine failure and practice landing in a field! Thanks so much for posting this!!!!!
yes, isn't this awesome. its one thing to sort of practice in real life, but this is so much better because you can randomize and take it all the way to the ground. MSFS 152 is pretty close to the real thing.
Awesome! After virtually flying a Cessna 152 around Sedona, Arizona (with Microsoft Flight Simulator) it was great fun to watch a real Cessna 152 in action. Thanks so much for this video!!!!!
Also I might add, that I have jammed to this song at least 5 times through out the day, and every time I see you flying! What a great tune for your flight. Well Done.
Two questions, if I may, from a UK-based PPL. First, why the screen-mounted phone AND a yoke-mounted GPS? Redundancy, or something else? And second, which specific yoke mount do you use (and, I guess, what's the device you're looking at on the mount)? Backstory: got the licence here in the UK in the 1980s, flew in the UK and California in the 1990s, and kinda accidentally lapsed in 2003. Got the licence back this year, but find that in the meantime, things like ADSB and GPS have come along. Whole new learning curve. Enjoying the flying, though.
Hello @malcolmwheatley4965 The reason for the iPhone in addition to the GPS, the iPhone get the ADS-B data from my Stratus transponder. I don't really use the iPhone for navigation but more for collision avoidance and tracking other aircraft. The Garmin GPS on the yoke does not interface with my transponder unfortunately. I use the Garmin Aero 660 on the yoke, and its mounted with RAM Universal X-Grip Cell Phone System Mount - Yoke Mount and 1-inch Ball and Socket Mount for Garmin aera 660 and 760. If you have a cigarette lighter power socket you can power the Garmin. Unfortunately I do not in my plane however the battery lasts well beyond the length of any flight I could take in the 152. I can also power it with an Anker battery pack as well.
Thank you so much! That's a really interesting, useful reply. I very much appreciate the information. Like I say, the world of aviation has changed a lot during my non-flying hiatus, and there's an awful lot that I don't know. I am now better informed, thanks to you! @@falconflying1145
Looks newer than the one I used to fly. But they are all the same. Easy to fly. Landing a light plane is not bad but you might have to dance a bit if the wind does not co-operate.
@@falconflying1145 Do you run the rpms up high to sorta listen to the engine? I imagined a runup would be going down the runway real fast just to see how its running.
How to fly a 152...get out and push. Learned to fly a 150 back in the early 70s and someone with a sense of humor slapped a bumper sticker on it that said "I'd rather be flying." Remember that slogan? And I just checked the FAA registry and that '67 C-150 is still in the air. Unbelievable.
I earned my single-engine land private license in a 152 in 1970. I greatly appreciated the thoroughness of your video. However I found your audio quite difficult to understand at times. The main issues were your diminished volume and your poor voice modulation. In your video you are essentially speaking to an audience from onstage. Your audience will find you very difficult to understand if you do not vary the pitch of your voice and this will result in them also becoming quite bored. I know I did and several times I skipped forward in order to be finished with the video sooner.
Thank you so much! this is the third or fourth version of the video it took a while to get it right! also a couple takes in the pattern to get away from busy traffic in the video!
Were you turning on the runway lights when you clicked the mic five time on the base leg? Thank you for displaying the procedures you use for your 152.
It does and I do, I didn't mention every checklist item in the audio, it goes by so fast forgot to mention some things that I do. I use the Checkmate version of the checklist. Now that being said, the trim on this aircraft almost never moved or moves barely.
