How to Fly a Cessna 152 

Yep its the sad situation general aviation is in. Affordable , certified , GA aircraft are not being manufactured.

Agreed. I learned to fly in 150s, moved up to 172s for advanced ratings but flew the150/152 just for fun.

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!

Lets go pens!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 👍

thank you

Thanks for watching!

Yep, I have a late model one of the last ones made in 1985.

thank you!

that is awesome! You'll have your cert in no time!

Yep, even though it was daylight, was doing it to illuminate the PAPI lights.

thank you!

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.

He mentions it at 5:56

thanks

@@Trokee miss those days....

thank you

228 is a lot of hours! at least to me it is! I'm lucky if I can get 50 in a year.

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

Yes, its not great, I can take very few of my friends and family flying with , basically only the females under 160 lbs

Thanks! lets go pens!

I'm sorry, Im not sure what tu/vous is?

Foreflight on my phone connects to the Wifi on my transponder. The transponder sends the data to Foreflight and I can track traffic with ADS-B out.

its a brief test of the engine and systems prior to take off

@@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.

@@trent3872 yes there are a bunch of things done during run up. you do not go barreling down the runway, thats a great way to die.

thank you! yeah I definitely have to improve on this.
