The wind is from the south at 8 knots. The altimeter setting for the aerodrome is 29.93 The KT indicates that the scale used is knots (an abbreviated term for nautical miles per hour ). Ideally, they try to land into a headwind, may tolerate crosswinds , and try to avoid significant tailwinds. inches of mercury.

A steam gauge airspeed indicator, Garmin G3X, autopilot, Garmin G5, transponder, fuel selector, accelerometer, and steam gauge altimeter were centered directly in front of me. The Texas winds were gusting anywhere from 15-25 knots, and like other aerobatic airplanes, the canopy can be easily blown off. Takeoff Over 50-ft.

Another interesting model is the 172RG Cutlass RG, which features retractable landing gear and a more powerful Lycoming O-360-F1A6 engine, offering a cruise speed of 140 knots. For instance, Knots 2U offers a Cessna 172 Cowl / Body Fairing Kit that improves aerodynamics and can increase cruise speed by 3-4 mph.

In the Cessna 172S Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), the landing distance decreases by 10% for every 9 knots of headwind. For the Cessna 172, landing distance increases by 10% for every 2 knots of tailwind. For the Cessna 172S, we fly a short-field approach with full flaps at 61 knots. Will you need a crosswind correction?

If there is a crosswind at the airport, you should mention this in your brief. Discuss your nominated crosswind technique. Explain what aircraft input you will require to land the aircraft in the crosswind. For example, the crosswind is from left to right. Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two.

For a Cessna 172, the recommended indicated airspeed for the maneuver is 105 knots. At this point, you should be flying at the slowest speed (5-10 knots above stall speed). Glance at your altimeter. It’s an amazing feeling to hit your target altitude without having glanced at the altimeter.

Winds over 15 knots are indicated by flashing yellow lights. I chose the default setting of 15 knots because the max demonstrated crosswind component of our Cherokee Six is 17 knots.
