  • hello lady! Are you a pilot? (*~*)

  • Note that the liquid compass mounted above the glarshield has no electrical components, and no heading output that could be used as a slaving source to a remote compass system (e.g., HSI). Hope that explains adequately.

    Michael, Ph.D., P.E., Consulting Engineer (Avionics, communications, signal processing), Commercial pilot (Airplane single and multiengine land, instrument airplane, C-172 and 310 owner/pilot).

  • @niceflyer80 Thanks for the explenation. But still as I said, no need to calibrate the HSI, so the information she provided in the video isn't adequate.

  • @nanoload If the slaving function fails, you will still need to slew the heading card to match the liquid compass (using the lower switch). By the way, adjusting the heading to match is not "calibration". Calibration refers to adjustment of the HSI system to meet factory specifications on a bench using test equipment at the factory or an approved service center, if the remote gyro or heading sensor drift out of calibration. I realize this may seem moot, but in engineering we have precise terms.

  • She ought to explain the real meaning of coordination. Coordinated flight means zero yaw rate. EGT is Exhaust, not "engine" gas temperature.

  • This is not an old 172. It is a late model (post 1996, which have the grey metal panels and the Honeywell/Bendix-King avionics. I own a 1999 172S model with the same equipment.

  • Many owners do the minor tasks on this list themselves. An oil change on a single engine Cessna may cost somewhere around $200, so there is an incentive to do it yourself. There are aviation technical schools that teach airframe and powerplant maintenance, and qualify the students to take the FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) licensing exam.

  • how common is it for people these days to service their own cessna 172's? It would be satisfying to know that you had serviced your own aircraft engine before each long flight. If you have the money are their courses or degrees you can do that teach you how to do professional engine servicing.

  • @210482fmj If you own the aircraft, and it is not used for hire (e.g., flight training for hire or charter), you can do your own maintenance on about 40 items covered in the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 43. Examples of these items are changing the engine oil and filter, replacing tires, brake pads, interior repairs/replacement (when such work does not require disassembly of flight control, electrical, fuel, or other systems), and others.

  • wow, you have a really nice cockpit for an older plane (I hope that you know what I mean because the cessna 172 is a plane from the 1970's) but your altitude indicator is broken, because it is slightly skewed to the left! and i don't hear any noise so you where not flying! why is it skewed to the left?

  • @AlanAirplane man you could not be more wrong... yes the cessna 172 was made in the 70's but it is still made today. i currently fly a 2002 cessna 172 otherwise known as the skyhawk. her altimeter is not broken...like she explained it has to be changed everytime you fly because of pressure changes... you set it before takeoff and make sure it is with-in 75 ft of feild elevation. that is why it was "skewed" to the left. hope this info helped.

  • @brunza15 i'm sorry for my reaction on your video, you are right!! I did some research and the altimeter doesn't work if the engine isn't started!! I had to know that before I gave you a reaction

  • really exhaustive and awesome introduction into a cessna 172 cockpit. only i havent seen any cocks.

  • slow volume

  • By the way EGT is Exhaust gas temperature :)

  • flying training seems a little overpriced for what it consists of. the training makes sense but it does seem like a money making scheme for flight schools. SOme of procedures seem to be overly lengthened out and you could probably achieve what they teach you in less than the required hours.

  • @210482fmj You don't have to get your license from a school. You can self study and get your license under Part 61. And I have to disagree with you, unless you can fly 3-4 hours per week there's no way you can get it in 40 hours. It really does take a lot of practice. The average time to license is 60-70 hours. Even when you do get your license you're not a pro and will still continue to learn for as long as you fly.

  • @Treetop64

    I like it :)

  • It's a lot of things.

  • The altimeter tells you "how high you are"? I don't need an altimeter to tell me that.

  • @Treetop64 Sorry man, altitude indicator is very important because it will help you to set the mixture properly and it also important for you when ATC ask you to set altitude properly as they ask you to do, If you don,t know how high you are, it will be very dangerous when you have the same altitude with the other aircraft crossing from another directions that can cause air crash. And you're act is one of the examples of human factor.

  • @weircarlos

    Lol. I get the message of the joke didn't get through. When I asked about how high you are, I meant how "high" you are. As in high from illicit medicinal intake. Of course, I don't actually do drugs; I used to fly, too.

    It was a weak attempt at some humor. Very weak, as it turns out...

  • thanks for the info

  • @FSXflyer12 luucckkkyyyy!!! I wish I could fly one of those :(

  • i flew in this today

  • I do miss the 172, a good old bird!

  • Whats the difference between a C172 and e.g a C150 or C170?

  • how much this cockpit

  • @TheAlexbarry Depends on what year it is. If its only couple years old problally in the 150 grand range. It all depends on how many hours the plane has

  • She forgot VSI and ADF...

  • @CharlieAlfaPapa it has a vor not an ads

  • @Assassinxstudios

    the ADF is next to the VSI on the right, look closely at 1:10

  • Nice video. You should visit the Cessna 172 Club and Forum. It's free and I think you'd like it. cessna172forum dot you-know-what. :)

    Tom

  • Now I really feel like going for a flight.

  • Thanks for the tour! More importantly have you ever given head at 4000 feet?

  • I kind of like the old gauge format more than the g1000

  • wow, its smaller than i thought...

  • looks just like flight sim...Can I borrow ur plane for a ride?

  • Thanks for your cockpit tour!

  • I like this. and I would like to know the name of the instructor

  • love the cessna's!

  • You have such a lovely soft voice, I enjoyed the video since I'm obsessed with flying.

    Thanks for the video, you pointed out thing that I didnt know of before. :-)

  • @GyGergely well thats hungary... this is the U.S. the cadets in my squadron all have flown atleast once.... if you mean solo then thats different. here in the U.S. there is no age requirement to take flying lessons, but you have to be atleast 16 to fly solo and receive a private pilot's license ive flown in a cessna WITH a pilot for my first orientation flight but im pretty sure all the cadets in my squadron have flown atleast once.... sorry if i sent you this a hundred times

  • well thats hungary... this is the U.S. the cadets in my squadron all have flown atleast once.... if you mean solo then thats different ive flown in a cessna with a pilot for my first orientation flight but im pretty sure all the cadets in my squadron have flown atleast once

  • Well thank you! You have made flying even more interresting, and my economy will suffer. dammit!! ;)

  • in theory could a cessna 172 handle a 200 knot tail wind

  • you forgot the vertical speed indicator. duhhh

  • you skipped the vertical drop speed indicator

  • whats the airseat?

  • @elephant35e airspeed.

  • Hey What Radio Set Up Do U Have There Is It The Honeywell System ??? Just Wondering !

  • @CessnaExpert123 I think it's a Bendix

  • Wow, I agree. Microsoft DID do a great job on this. The first plane I flew in was a C172, but was an older model, so I thought microsoft just randomly put instruments on the panel.

  • Thanks for the overview, Nice vid.

  • Comment removed

  • Cant wait to get to flight school any buy one of these :D

  • Едвам изтърпях докрая. Тая гъска не може ли нормално да говори? То бива превзето, лигаво, преправено говорене ама това на нищо не прилича. По мяза да се снимаш в някой порно филм патка с патка и там да си придаваш лигавата интонация на гласа! А между другото нищо ново не ми каза за сесната. Ahmm ... Ahmmm .... Ahmmm. AAAAaaahmmm.....GET OUT WOMEN FROM THE AIRPLANES !!! COW !!!!!!!

  • Great description of the flight controls!

  • this guy if full of shit

  • flying a cessna is like coloring in a coloring book compared to what i fly ( boeing 737)

  • @Millard97 The only difference I suppose is that if you under estimate the power of a coloring book you don't die. Plenty of commercial and military pilots have paid the ultimate price because they've taken some single prop too lightly.

  • @Vacantstance i can fly a cessna with my eys closed , its just to easy and a commercial pilot ( like me ) and or millitary personal will NOT have any problem flying an aircraft like this if anything happens you have time to recover in a boeing 737 you do not have as much time..

  • @Millard97 Of course you can fly it if you respect it. If not, you'll fall out of the sky just like so many others...

  • @Vacantstance trust me you will not fall out of the sky , my son is 8 years old and he flys my cessna 182 skylane take offs and landings it is just so easy but i fly the 737 and you HAVE to be trained for atleast 3 to 4 years like i was before you fly passengers around the World .

  • @Millard97 Man, I had so much fun reading your comments. It is obvious that you're not a real world commercial pilot, not even a private pilot. 8 year old son flyes your cessna? You have to be at least 17 years old to fly the cessna. It isn't takeoffs and landings that are hard, navigation, ATC, dealing with weather and so on. I know a couple commercial pilots, and you're obviously not one. As Vacantstance said you underestimate a plane, which isn't too pilot like.

  • @GyGergely obviously , im not a commercial pilot , im 17 , and Soon to be In the Canadian Forces soo its obvious , im not a pilot , but i have flown before

  • @Millard97 Are you in the Civil Air Patrol?

  • @GyGergely You do NOT have to be 17 to fly the Cessna. i am 16 years old and the first plane i have ever flown was the Cessna. if your in the Civil Air Patrol, it is more likely that you will fly a Cessna for you first orientation flight. i got 13 year old Cadets flying Cessnas in my squadron.

  • @AFutureMarine1 xD 13 year olds fly Cessnas. Yeah...sure. FAA rules clearly say that you have to be over 17 years old to fly a solo (PPL or UL). In Hungary, military cadets (who have to finish college or university previusly) start training at age of 21 in Canada. They fly for NATO, so I think same rules apply for all the NATO countries as well.

  • @GyGergely and its 16 in canada you have no idea what your talking about

  • @Millard97 Seriously man? Anyone who looks at your channel can see that you're like twelve... I doubt you've ever sat behind the yoke of a Cessna, let alone a 737.

  • @markdg33 Seriously man, me and my brother share this channel hes 26 and name matt and im 14 and name dakota n ive flown a cessna its not fuckin rocket science :) .

  • @Millard97 hahaha It's supposed to be super easy to fly, i've never flown one, but i have flown a C-206 and a piper arrow

  • are these aircraft fairly easy to maintain if you can afford the tools and learn the teqniques used for them? I'm guessing the only parts that require specialist equipment is having them xrayed for cracks and fatigue. I'd love to maintain my own aircrafts engine and do engine rebuilds myself. Do pilots carry a spare propellor on remote flights just incase they have a prop break for flying in remote areas. i would always carry a full toolkit

  • @1982FMJ There are no life-limited airframe components on the 172. They are replaced on condition, not at a specific number of hours. X-rays are rarely required for normal maintenance. You cannot rebuild a type-certificated aircraft engine (legally) yourself. The rebuild (actually, an overhaul if done in the field) must be signed off by an FAA licensed technician. Most engine work must be done by licensed personnel. Propellers rarely fail if properly maintained. I have never heard of a spare.

  • i fly the Cessan 172 in real life and when it is very hot out sight like so hot you have to do a hot start, when ever i get in the cocpit it is blazing hot in there.

  • Good video. I wish I could fly a real 172.

  • the actual cockpit looks way smaller in real life than flight simulator

  • i have a question when you are landing this plane what degree do you set your flaps too??

  • @1yankfan1  In light wind conditions set the flaps @20%

  • Nice clip.

    By the way an HSI calibrates it's self automaticly from the magentice compass. No need for a Gyro Check.

  • @nanoload No, the HSI is slaved to a flux gate mounted in the wing tip (which performs the same function as the magnetic compass). The HSI should be checked for slaving to the flux gate, which is indicated by a meter on the small switch panel next to the throttle. If the slaving feature fails, you will still have to set it manually to the magnetic compass (not likely, but still should be checked periodically).

  • @niceflyer80 if so, why is there no calibration button like in a regualar gyro-compass?

  • @nanoload The Honeywell/Bendix-King HSI system (of which the panel-mounted indicator is the KI-525A Pictorial Navigation Indicator or PNI) has a remote slaving panel (the small panel with two switches near the throttle). That panel contains two switches. The upper one is a "slave/free" mode switch. In the "slaved" mode, the heading card of the KI-525A is "slaved" to the flux gate of the remote-mounted KMT-112 Magnetic Sensor, and thus always indicates the correct magnetic heading (Continued)

  • @niceflyer80 (From previous) as it is driven by the heading measurement from the KMT-112. If you put the mode switch to the "free" mode, the heading card of the KI-525A is no longer slaved to the KMT-112. In this case, you would set it to agree with the magnetic compass using the lower switch, which drives the heading card counterclockwise (in the "CCW" position), or clockwise ("CW) position. Normally you would use the "slaved" mode, unless there was a failure that prevented slaving.

  • Ahh, back to thinking about the 172 I flew in the Simulator, and the one iv'e logged a few hours in...

  • will u stop saying um

  • women dont need to be flying planes, they will kill everybody

  • @doodoobrown1987 Dude, don't be such a D-bag. Women are as capable as we are. I've seen women driving buses; can you drive one? Can you fly a plane? Hell, can you even change the oil in your on car? I seriously doubt it.

  • I don't know why the hell it has two steering wheels??

  • One more thing. I see the flaps are at 40 degrees or fully extended but you stated their only at 30. Is that a mistated quote or is 30 all you get now?

  • I own a 1977 172N and I gotta say Cessna has come a LONG way with cockpit upgrades and safety features. I love that this AC has a fuel shut off. Thanks for sharing.

  • I want to become a pilot next year after i finish year 12, all looks so dang confusing!

  • what year and model is this 172?

  • new cessna!!!

  • how long does one tank of gas last for?

  • whats that thing on the yoke wheel/ steering wheel?

  • @tabasom02 dude, that was just her headset.

  • Where is the flex capacitor again?

  • I love these version of the Cessna cockpits... never got to fly in one... just old junk... but I guess that's what happens when you fly in Canada.

  • @jmr604 what area of Canada were you training? Nunavut? I train in this kind of plane with an almost identical cockpit layout.

  • Comment removed

  • @THExGOODxLIFE307 lol... southern ontario.

  • @jmr604 oh haha maybe it was just the school you were training at?

  • @THExGOODxLIFE307 Actually, I've seen the aircraft at flight school in Toronto and Kingston and a majority of aircraft are older analog cockpits... the newer metal dash costs a bit more... not sure about Seneca... but anyway, yeah.

  • @jmr604 yeah the metal ones are a fair bit more expensive, imagine a glass cockpit? That would be ridiculous

  • where was the carb heat knob?

  • Nice, havent seen 172 with the HSI so far. I really love it :)

    Btw, is this one IFR certified?

  • how much is the skyhawk???

  • Depending on the model, age, new or used, it will set you back from 80,000 to 250,000.

  • Are you still in Battle Creek? I'm 15 minutes from BC..

    Nice video! Gonna take me flying one day?

  • dat 172 is clean as a whistle

  • I usually learn in the 150/152 but im inviting my mum along and we have to take the 172 out. Just wondering how different it was and the answer is clearly not very . And at least the RPM is on the captains side !

  • No, the answer IS very. The 172 will feel heavier compared to the 150. Its also substantially more stable, which is nice. Also, the 172 will land quite a bit differently based on the sight picture you've become accustomed to in the 150.

  • This is very true---I have flown both and felt like they were two completely different planes. It was like comparing a butterfly to a bird. The 150 basically just took off, floated around, and landed itself. The 172 is a little more demanding, but still very forgiving and stable.

  • yea it's true I flew the C152 and i found that it was responding very fast compared too what i was used to... Very light aircraft but after it's pretty much the same...

  • @soundwaviator If only those descriptions came together we'll have a great plane!

  • @bman2101 What I love about the 172 is the 40 flap setting. You can come in high and fast and drop like a stone if you put down all the flaps. It is the jeep of small airplanes.

  • @saevaroa Indeed, but Cessna removed that flap setting in the later models (early seventies I think) because people kept having accidents when they attempted a go around with full flaps - going around just won't work until you have retracted the flaps far enough, but if you retract the flaps too fast, you might stall. 30 degrees is max now.

  • @Noctew Do you think that a spoiler on top of the wing could be more appropriate if you need to go down fast. Say for an example in emergency or for other reasons. Since they have taken the 40 setting.

  • @saevaroa I fly a 172 with only 30 degrees, it will still do a decent job to get you down and if it still isn't enough a nice side slip always does the job.

  • Thanks

  • thank you for the Gr-8 video

  • I have fsx acceleration

  • ya, it rocks. flying jets of carriers = defining awesome

  • your a cockhead mate!

  • Thank you.

  • i wish my 172 had an HSI. very nice

  • Good idea to make a video like this! WHen I was taking flying lessons, I just had a digital camera, no video. I wish that I would have had one back then though! It would've been really helpful for "flying at the house". MicroSoft Flight Simulator is a good teaching tool too. To help keep you from forgetting everything between lessons! LOL!

  • Nice video

  • this is really helpful because im having a trail lesson in this plane soon. thanks

  • awesome video!

  • Great video !

  • very good vid!

  • UMM

  • KOOL VID!!!

  • Oh, my goodness!...

    What a female voice is this?

    Believe me, I didn't pay any attention to the cockpit (who cares...).

    Great!

  • thank you! very informative.

  • nice vid. i really appreciated this one. where are the gun triggers?? joke.. ^^

  • thx for posting this video.5/5

  • Wow this is the best video in my entire life. this is the best. i would give an A plus to it. i just started flying school last week and we did go through this stuff. pliz send more of this. or tel us how we could get more videos explaining how to use the radio. seriously this is the best of all. teach us how to fly best Flight instructor.

  • and thats not the hobbs tach. Thats actually ON the tachometer and runs on oil pressure. The other one is just a hobbs meter that measures flight time.

  • The thing she refered to as to "adjust the HSI" is the Slaving Unit.

  • known technicallly as the HSI

  • No, the slaving unit is not the HSI. The slaving unit is the device that automatically corrects the HSI for magnetic drift, unlike a Directional Gyro.

  • Sorry, Corrected. Reviewed video again, should have known by it's position. Will pay better attention before or if ever opening my yap! Thank's for the reminder of detail being first! Thanks!

  • Nice video!

  • Wow, Microsoft did a grat job in the Virtual Cockpit of the C172, It looks exactly like this!

  • @AirlinePilotStuart

    haha ya ikr?

  • @AirlinePilotStuart

    Microsoft rocks!

  • why no prop angle control next to mixture?

  • coz,172's cant change angle of prop,the bigger top wing cessnes do

  • Because the 172R has a fixed pitch propeller, not a constant speed.

  • thank you very much for posting this video. I want to be a pilot soon

  • false! i started when i was about fifteen and a half and now i am sixteen so there is no limit it is just you cannot solo until sixteen and may not receive ur liscense until you seventeenth birthday.. but i have almost 21 hours so false

  • idk but in the US its 17

  • how old do u have to be to take flying lessons in canada? please reply thanks

  • 14 to solo 16 for the rec lisence, and 17 for the private's lisence.

  • Very good job! :)

  • Cool nickname by the way... kinda Transformersish in the most adult way possible... kind of like a mullet... you know, business up from but we all know you love Transformers in the back... yea, you know it.

  • from = front...
