Cessna 152 cockpit flight training (start-up, pre-flight, takeoff, climb) 

I've been flying now for 5 weeks in a Cessna 152. I don't come from the most educated, wealthy background but by sheer determination I've got too do what I've always wanted & have set myself on the path to getting my CPL! Don't give up on your dreams work for them and throw yourself into every opportunity!

You should check out his no speak sign language training video. Top notch 👍👍👍

APT for climbing: Attitude then power then trim

Me too, it took me 30 years of off and on flying, a divorce to get license, and two years later i i got diabetic.

i like this video

I got my license in one of these in 1979. I can still smell the avgas and the radios. I transitioned into the 172 shortly after. Thought I was flying a Concorde. There was a whole separate master switch, just for avionics!

Watch as we preflight as slowly as possible to drain as much battery as we can prior to starting the airplane.

Cessna 152 rarely requires flaps on departure. You may use 10° normal field operations to reduce your ground roll by approx 10% and should use 10° for short-field operations. Anything beyond 10° is not approved in the POH.

The C152 is a truly amazing plane!

I got my private pilots ticket in 1973 out of Long Beach CA airport but due to high costs of flying fell away 5 years later and havent flown sense. I miss it but bet I could sit in a 150 take off and land if needed to just like riding a bike never forgetting how ....but bet I would be sweating my ba-ls off doing so after some 38 years later :)

I flew one of these last week my first lesson and loved it

Here I am watching flight training videos after realising that I'll never get the money required to start a course. Life is tough lol. Thanks for the vid! Very informative!

be nice if u said wtf ur doing

david halligan, they surply ignition sparks to piston pots, there are two of them, in case one fails, they are indipentant of each other, think im right ?

Awesome! I can't wait to start flying courses when im in college. Hope to be a pilot someday!

Centerline!

Do you not turn the transponder to standby before changing squark and then back on again?

why would you spend so much battery power on testing every electrical item when you could do it while the engine is running and supplying alternator power? One of these days you're going to crank the engine and you won't have enough power for the starter to engage!

I always wanted to fly a plane. Went to take flying lessons, but learned I could not fly because of a medical disability. It sucks, because I really love flying.

When I was a pilot in training , I just worried mainly about the mags,! If I got a big dump on switching I knew that I needed to blow our the carbon deposits before flight, this is in the 70,'s . I did this one time and then thought that all would be good , after takeoff I had immediate low oil pressure and had to turn around for landing! I thought that my training to blow out the carbs would work but no they didn't of course but for you future pilots out there if you get a massive decrease in your rpm,'s i would say return to your point of origion! I lucked out and I knew my a,/c at that time, old maybe twenty years, and I knew I would make it! Squawk, ,. the ignitor plugs fouled up! Would you know when to quit!

This is not the definition of a flight lesson, you push a lot of buttons without any explanation of what you are doing.

Don't listen to this bonehead, he doesn't know anything. It took me one day to learn to fly a 172 after hopping out of a 150. They are VERY VERY similar. Same layout for the most part, same procedures, same everything. Cessna 152 is cheaper, go for it. Why waste money? Not to mention, wouldn't you rather fly longer IF it doesn't have the Sparrowhawk mod? More time in logbook. A 150/152 is going to make you a better pilot in the end because it's more sensitive than the 172. I know this.

Very nice- comfortably paced, and lets us look and think as you go.

dude a 172 is way more fun to fly than a 152. I have 43 hours in a 152 and I didn't enjoy any of them as much as in a 172, it's worth the extra few dollars especially when you get where you're going quicker.

I've always wanted to fly in a helicopter. Going into the Air Force hopefully in a few years.

the first time i had been up in a plane was in a cessna. the pilot gave me the wheel at about 2000 feet, and adrenaline rushed! i decided then and there to become a pilot and am starting classes this fall.

Two correction's to operate transponder properly. 1. Keep standby mode on engine check, and everytning on groud till line up. 2. Change squawk only on standby, then switch to alt (or on).

Try before you buy! The cabin is quite narrow in a C152 and things can get a little 'intimate' with two people side by side!!

I'll cry with you. I love flying, and I haven't had a vacation since 19961 No money. It stinks!

i know lol but i have my ppl now...should of mentioned that earlier lol

When changing squawk, I always go to 'standby' on the transponder to avoid inadvertently squawking the wrong code. Back to mode A,C or S after the correct code is set.. Otherwise a good vid. I leaned in 152 before switching to 172

Cessna 152, save money, become a better pilot, screw being modern. It's going to save you money. The 152 is way more fun to fly, but when it comes down to it, personal preference.

I did not look at the entire video. It is now very late and I am only taking time to make a few comments, you can discuss these with your flight instructor. How about more camera shots looking for traffic while on the ground, you took time to show the wheel. If you have only a few hours into your training, I can understand some of your actions. You advanced the throttle and checked the magnetos on a cold engine? And you checked them again before take off [it looked like you were in the proper location, however, the camera was not doing a good job quickly looking out of the cockpit, you did not have to check the magnetos twice. You did not align the directional gyro with the compass, or at least with the runway heading, once you [should have been] lined up with the runway. You do know that your time on the flight begins as soon as you begin the start procedure. It is best to look around for important things go on the outside of the aircraft early, before clocking flight time [costly]. After starting up, and are moving, you can do things like make altimeter adjustment, checking gauges, turning on radios [unless needed earlier at a large airport of for permission to cross runways, and so on. I did not see you check both right and left ailerons and rudder.

A dangerous assumption. This entirely depends upon conditions, length of runway, etc. POH states you can use 10°, but you don't have to unless you're performing a short-field take-off where you need to clear an obstacle.

I started flight traiing in a 150 in Sept. '74. After I got license in Feb. '75 I eventually built up about 200 hours then had to lay off for money issues. When I started training a 150 cost me $12.00 hr & a 172 I could get or $20.00 hr. Since I have not flown in over 25 years, I was wondering what plane rental is today? I know within 10 years after I started, the cost went sky high. I miss it, but at almost 60 years of age it would take a lot of money to get back into it.

Let's See How Many Legends watching this in 2021

Testing magnetos at 1200 RPM ? 1700 as per the NOP

I know of folks who have caused engine fires by over priming. I rarely needed more than 2 in the 152 I flew.

The 152 with Sparrowhawk mod actually out-performs a Cessna 172. It's cheaper, and faster than a 172. The 152 is more fun to more, the 172 to the rest. The 152 will make you a better pilot because it is more sensitive. Words of my CFI that has been one for 30 years.

LOL you mean altitude

What pre-flight? No walk around? No radio clearance for start up so a small field operation...

What the hell is this a training video can people not talk anymore.

the 152 seems like a cute little plane I may buy one later on

Our pilot is working the primer way too fast before starting the engine. You need to pull the primer out, let it fill with gas, THEN push it back in. From the speed he was cycling it in and out, it was clear that by the 3rd stroke there was no gas entering the system.

It's nice to hear what it actually sounds like in the 152 cockpit...nice vid

We once owned a 150. Sold it to get a 182. Just sold the 182 after 16 years. Might go back to a 150. Sweet little airplane.

Could you please identify a very similar airplane, it was registered as a Cesna around 1990 I believe, it had a pull start on the left below the control which started the engine. It spluttered and eventually started. It had an on off switch to the right which was red. The throttle was center mass and the instruments were center which I believe had 4. It had Cesna on the body and I believe a blue stripe? Hope this is enough, desperate to confirm its authenticity.

Hello superb video congratulations subscriber channel welcome my channel Actéon nature

“What a piece of junk!” “She'll make .5 past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.”

Are you high? All Cessna 150/152s are 2 or 3 seaters (3rd being a child seat), with two fuel tanks. Any aux tank on a Cessna 150/152, is non-existent.

very entertaining.........here in the US we usually watch parking meters run out of time for entertainment........much different watching a plane steering wheel and an inaudible radio in the cock pit. But hey this is England!

If a light aircraft was a dog, the C152 would be a friendly Labrador. No much goes wrong and very easy going.

im not criticizing, just a question. Why no flaps at take off? Amazing video!

@ridgerunner98570 Yes, I agree. If you want to find one in Europe then they will most likely cost more.

Play fright weather briefings is primary FSS a backup at WSS current conditions to overview radar reports synopsis invited weather systems are air masses that affect great post flight

Is he going to do a training video you guys to talk about what you guys are doing because half of the people who are viewing this video doesn’t know what the heck you’re doing please speak up now I’m not trying to be rude it’s just the truth

I'm taking off in a single plane Cessna I'm going through my PreFlight checklist right now

I miss it everyday!

I solo in 1972, c-150. I think it was $10-$11 /hour, wet. a BIT higher now !

Shame you cant actually hear whats being said most of the time over the engine noise.

Good video! Nice that you also turned the radio on and you showed that us ;) Greetings from the Netherlands.

complicated with this old engines...with a Rotax 912: a bit gas, choke, contact, start...and run, exactly like a carburated car... No mixture, no primary...

@aviafilmsproduction did'nt see you setting the mixture for altitude??

@Agora2021 not everybody is cut out to be a pilot...but I'll tell you a secret: if you're willing to stick to it and actually LEARN, you will succeed. Nowadays people seem to learn just enough to spit back what they were told on an exam...but you MUST become entirely knowledgeable to be a truly safe pilot. Let me know if you have any questions during your training!

carb heat should be last, done after the mags on the run up. Your supposed to pull power to idle with the carb heat on to make sure the engine will still run. Thats a pretty important part.... just saying.

This would have been great if you'd slowed down a little and explained what you were doing as you did it.

Its really annoying , I love to fly but i keep getting/feeling dizzy after around 30-40 minutes into my flying lesson. I would stop if i didn't love flying so much. Any advice ?

Was that Alpha foxtrot alpha to echo,or just alpha to echo?

transponder should be set to standby before SQ is entered then back to on and ident if asked ......just saying Damn ive turned into one of those pilots that give advise ..what have i become. Dont answer that

on my schools check list, its 1800. am sure its no problem to be 100 below or high

Cool video! I was wondering if you could do it again with better volume, I cant hear you talking here. thanks, infasis on the start up

A little video time missing on actual startup. Stubborn starting??

It's pretty much the same thing. I have flown both and they are very similar. Cost adds up.

You may want to try not rushing the priming to allow time for the fuel to be drawn into cylinders. Just pause for a second when you pull it out then slowly push in. You may use less priming that way.

fuel primer. Pumps fuel to aid starting. Sort of like a choke...Go to your local club and have a flight experience....Never forget it.

Brought back some good memories from my flight training days, thanks for sharing :).

Sorry to hear that. Do you workout and stay in shape much? Do you abstain from alcohol and greasy food 48 hrs before flying?

What happens if the aircraft doesn't start the first time you try to boot it up do you switch the key back to off? Pls reply!

Yes. Google whatever you need. IE Private Pilot Groundschool Practice test

@n617a I know right...just go with the garmin 1000 system...all gauges radios and a system similar to the ICAS on the A-380

I’m about to check out on this from the Robin. Not much to it hopefully!

That doesn't mean anything. Work hard in aviation, and your dream'll come true.

Its almost the same. Two important things: 1) 152 is cheaper. 2) Make a choice and keep that airplane till you get your licence.

How did they get footage of flight simulator 2020 9 years ago?

@MedObeM I have actually found a Cessna 152 on sale in the UK for on £18,000 excluding VAT so a very good offer

Such an easy aircraft to fly!!

so, for someone with no experiance at all, what would be the best way to begin on getting a piolit licences?

Is it possible to fly to other countries with your family or something if you own a private plane? I was just curious.

I have no idea what's going on. My aviation degree is going to be tough to get isn't it?

The idea is shouting clear prop outside...? Sounded like you just said clear prop...?

What's the cost of an hour of training in the US these days? For a regular Private License...

Nice old plane. I like the VFR upgrade. I'd like autopilot but that's dreaming.

Yes, if you and instructor aren't too overweight, the cheaper C15x is enough.

I enjoyed this video very much, cause is very real...The sounds, the flaps, the master swich all of it.... the posición of the co-pilot angle. in my family we had a 152-2 we enjoyed it very much....It was a ranch plane...

@Agora2021 just do your best and don't give up. In the end I think it's worth it :)

I've flown mainly in rotorcraft as a paramedic for LifeDlight (Dauphine's) and STAT Medecas (Euro-Copter 135s) but are there any free fixed wing enthusiast groups to join whhile I'm registering for ground school?
