I enjoyed the audio being real cabin audio instead of hearing radio chatter all the time. It’s cool to hear what’s really happening in the cabin. Love that engine sound.👍
Great video! I love to watch these "real" flight videos, and then fly the same routes and airplanes in Microsoft Flightsimulator.😅. (more of this, please)
@@turnandburnaviation Truly cool. As i own myself a 172, i can really "feel it" lol :) it cool, absolutly cool :) Thank you, a really nice video. I think i should try a Gopro to. maybe this giving interesting videos lol But the Weather was not to nice to you or ? much sidewinds this day ? one time was crazy, 100% no winds, nothing, absolutly chilling flight, and with 1 hit, the plain have a kick in the back lol, i never forget this.
Technique only. I’m an instructor in the C172 and as long as if you have positive control and airspeed, flap extension during turn doesn’t matter. Manufacturer does not specify anything about it. It’s all down to preference.
I earned my complex in a 172RG- great aircraft! When you were doing your pre-flight checklist, you didn't prime the engine with the primer- instead you cycled the throttle twice. Interesting- I don't recall doing that- was the engine HOT already? Great video- thanks for sharing.
Hello, a question, I would love to be a pilot, but I am worried about one thing, I am 6'5, do you think I am too tall to be able to comfortably enter the cockpit of a plane like the one you are piloting?
You can look up height requirements for your country. For sure you can fit in commercial airliners. If you are not sure about small training planes just book an introduction flight
It would be like pouring half a gallon of whisky into a short shot glass lol. No, but seriously, these planes are small. You could probably fit into it but I would be worried about control issues
Nearly every GA aircraft that I’ve flown has an autopilot. That being said, this one has an old Navomatic 300 autopilot. It’s pretty limited and doesn’t work the best. Most of the aircraft I fly have a KAP 140 or Garmin GFC 500
Some flight schools don’t permit touch and go’s in more complex/high performance aircraft just because there is so much going on at once in a short period of time which can lead to mistakes, such as forgetting to put up flaps etc
@@GWNHomestead Thats not a here or there Getting stuck in traffic with and crap American car 🤨. In my opinion, buying a 1980 Cessna 172 with outdated avionics for an average of $80k is not a good idea, even if the aircraft is still functional. The current price of Hight of USD $209,900 is too high and not worth it.
Sporty’s Academy does not lick touch and goes and specifically forbids them in a retractable gear airplane. It’s not a maintenance issue, but a safety concern that the pilot might retract the gear rather than the flaps. There rule is you must exit the runway and come to a full stop before raising the flaps.
Nice, I did my complex in a 172RG. Im guessing your ac has an O or IO360 Lyc? As other commenters have mentioned, it has a nice sound to it, thats not all three blade prop. An exhaust system maybe? Sounds good nonetheless. Tks for posting.
@@turnandburnaviation Have you met any one the people in the office? My flight instructor was Drew Siegmundt. Planning on going back for some more O - flights.
