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.

For example, if the ACS states that during takeoff the applicant will “maintain V X /V Y as appropriate +10/-5 knots to a safe maneuvering attitude,” focus on nailing the airspeed. If the POH says V X is 67 knots, fly at 67 knots. Every time.

While not shown in the photos, the wheel pants are presently fitted to the aircraft, providing a sharp look and a few extra knots of cruise speed. With a Stratus transponder, Garmin GTN touchscreen Com/GPS, and dual G5 flight instruments, its nicely modernized with far more functionality than the stock panel.

Slowly is real slow : at around the Vy speed of 80 knots indicated ! No formation take-off allowed in Kortrijk but we soon settled in a loose formation, throttled back at 50% engine power yielding about 80 knots IAS. The ferry was split up in section of 6 to 8 hours nett flying in order to minimize the number of stops.

Aircraft need to have a two-way radio, transponder with Mode C, and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out equipment. Class C airports’ speed limits require aircraft within 4 Nautical Miles (NM) of the primary airport and below 2500 feet to maintain an Indicated Airspeed (IAS) of 200 knots or less.

The controller issued a discrete transponder code, and no additional communications were observed, and no services were provided. The pilot contacted air traffic control and requested flight following. A review of ADS-B data indicated that while en route, the airplane climbed to an altitude of 14,100 feet msl.

In order to be flown by a sport pilot, the resulting airplane must still meet the current regulations—1,320 pounds maximum gross weight, 120 knots max cruise speed, for example—but how it gets there is up to the builder. Airplanes in the LSA category have some performance limitations, so the RV-12 gets right to the 120-knot max cruise figure.

A transponder with altitude reporting and an approved ADS-B out transmitter are also required for all operations. With few exceptions, the transponder and ADS-B units must also be operable within 30 nautical miles of the primary airport within the Class B airspace, even when not entering the Class B airspace.

Keep in mind, you might want to make these numbers extra-conservative if you frequently carry family or friends – just because you can handle a 25-knot direct cross, doesnt mean your significant other can (trust me on this).
