- Optimum altitude for crusing small aircraft | Pilots of America
Thanks to Jane Carpenter Cessna Chart and Rick Henry Piper chart plus my other research, my theory that the engine power drops off faster than the true airspeed (more linear), we can conclude the Specific Range gets better with altitude as shown in the attached spreadsheet graph directly off the Cessna cruise power chart for a 172
- Pros and Cons of C172 vs. PA28 Warrior Cherokee as training aircraft
Cessna has two doors, Piper has oleo gear for more forgiving landings Cessna has better ground visibility in flight, Piper has better visibility in the pattern Piper has easier ingress and egress, Cessna has a lot more legroom in the back etc etc For buying, there's no comparison
- Landing speeds for C172, 75 70 65? - Pilots of America
(Ignore the airspeed numbers, for a Cessna 172 Vmd, or min drag, is around 75 knots) Near the bottom of the power curve is the maximum lift to drag speed, it's also the stablest At this point on the power curve the plane will naturally try to recover a set airspeed if you change the pitch Makes a great pattern speed

A small plane (N3753L) crash landed at Riviera Country Club today Tail # N3753L Video of the landing: Looks like it was coming from Merced, CA area and

- C150 Engine Upgrade - Pilots of America
Former Cessna aerodynamicist and test pilot Bill Thompson was not crazy about the O-320 C-150 mod that put the battery box in the tailcone to balance out the heavier engine After flying one he said it was "no longer a docile C-150" and cited a "noticeably flatter spin attitude" and "rather sluggish" spin recovery
- What is too windy for training in a 172? | Pilots of America
What wind speed would you not get training in as a student pilot or what wind speed would you not train a student pilot as the CFI? I understand the crosswind limitations, so lets assume that is not an issue, we can takeoff and land into the wind and its just windy
- Forward Slips with Flaps, Cessna. . . Is it Ok? | Pilots of America
The training aircraft was a Cessna 152 When I later transitioned to a 1973 Cessna 172 for Instrument instruction, (though not a part of instrument instruction) forward-slips with flaps were still Ok per my instructor in this aircraft
