Spin Cessna 172

[rockangel1967]

dude....going into a spin stall is not something you want to play with. unless you had specific lessons in doing so. 80% of those (untrained pilots) who try it end up on a cemetary. no joke man. just from pilot to pilot.

[Brn2FlyUL]

Man That brings back some memories from my training days.

[ganymedeIV4]

If you can't recover from that, then you probably shouldn't be in the pilots seat in the first place.

[sethflight]

After an hour of those, over end over again, my mind was exhausted and my stomach is still up there somewhere.....

[pablovandit]

esta loco!

[yynnmmbb]

That is something that I hope I never am a part of

[ganymedeIV4]

@yynnmmbb Yea right.

a 90,000$ cessna is more fun then any ANY Exotic sports car regardless of how much it costs or how fast it goes or how cool it looks

That Bugatti can't do a barrel roll.

[yynnmmbb]

@ganymedeIV4 , I was talking about the tail spin. I dont ever want to be hurling towards Earth while spinning. 

[ganymedeIV4]

@yynnmmbb Sure you do! as long as you trust the pilot.

I'd never want to be in a downward roll in a large jet liner though, screwed for sure and you don't even get to see it coming.

[MisterThrashMetal]

@ganymedeIV4 As far as my knowledge tells me, a 172 can't do a barrel roll too. Can it? Haha.

[ganymedeIV4]

@MisterThrashMetal

Sure they can, I'll send you a video.

[erpuzzetta01]

I would shit, piss, and throw-up...

[komrad36]

did the gyros topple? i didn't hear the 'thunk'...

[azersky666]

COOL, I LOVED IT.. I MISS EVEN THE SOUND 

[beergut111]

someone tell captain fabio he did a piss poor job of recovery

[Avatar230594]

Is this an aerobat Cessna?

[L96a1ProdigyIL3GIT]

i start flying lessons tomarrow im excited!!



[Avatar230594]

@L96a1ProdigyIL3GIT Go for it, it's so much fun. It makes you different and you can show everyone something different when you get a license.

Hi There

You don’t look happy and I don’t blame you.

For me, never mind spins I made a mess of a landing yesterday so annoyed with myself.. Scared myself and feel such a fool! No damage, but not happy.

Good for you and brave.

For me those of us who fly learn each and every time we go up

Come on, let’s give a fellow pilot some support

Thanks for sharing

[hawk0920]

i learned pare: p-power off ,a- aileron neutral , r-rudder opposite of spin direction, e- elevator( same as stall recovery.

[badgyro1]

Recovery steps:

Oh shit - power out - hands off - evaluate - correct rudder - recover from dive.

His recovery was a bit faster as not accidental so the Oh shit and evaluate steps are missing.

[ounpug]

I think its 152 not 172.

[JGthenumberone]

@ounpug its a 172 but its older :)

[ThePilot314]

Very professionell ..............two spins left and recover !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not have any problems to be a passenger in your plane!

[daddygreenjeens]

love the sinking feeling in my stomach when we practice stalls

[reelnub]

fuck the stall horn is annoying!!!!!!!

[Photle]

PARED

[Matt0the0dude]

opposite rudder, neutral aileron, slight forward elevator.

[plsniper]

@Matt0the0dude 1-st power off, 2-nd neutral aileron and slight forward elevator, Then 3-rd opposite rudder. The sequence is very important.

[Matt0the0dude]

@plsniper i was talking about a power off stall to spin not a power on stall to spin.

[plsniper]

@Matt0the0dude oh, ok. But the opposite rudder should be the last action.

[UprisingOfTheMolemen]

Aahhh just listen to them stall warnings whining

[zep4life]

brings back memories

[waynepowell1984]

@theshulganator I am currently completing my PPL training and Stalling and Spinning are as much a part of the syllabus as being able to use the radio. It's compulsory. By the end of the course I will have done as many as 80 stalls and spins...in a C172.

[marsgal42]

I did spins last weekend in a Cherokee 140. Fortunately the stall warning is a red light on the dash, not that awful-sounding Cessna horn.

Required for PPL in Canada. A totally bizarre experience. And fun.

[capcadet417]

You are required to know about spins and how to recover from them some instructiors do them some don't also your training aircraft may not be permitted to do spins

Ie. Cirrus, Piper Warrior

[bage881]

lolol well i dunno how they do it in the US but I've done one in my training :S, loads of fun :D

[waynepowell1984]

@bage881 - Canada, Australia and South Africa have some of the highest standard flight training programs anywhere in the world. The number of foreign pilot trained in these regions is also a testament to that These training syllabi all contain stalling and spinning as standard exercises.

[voodz616]

@waynepowell1984 foreign pilots train there because there is much much cheaper than in other countries. For example in Poland 1 hour on C152 with instructor cost 190 USD. 1 galon of fuel (100LL) cost 11USD. Here we have in our PPL programs stalling and spining too.

[bravobravo74]

@waynepowell1984 Just because spinning is a standard exercise in these countries it doesn't necessarily mean that standards are higher. In the UK for instance spin training used to be part of the ppl syllabus but it hasn't been for a while now - yet the GA accident rate is still one of the lowest in Europe.

[SupernalOne]

Jeez, not that hard to enter a spin. I wonder how easy it is to enter a flat spin. Doesn't aircraft design tend to prevent this outcome? Or does every pilot need to check the load distribution to make sure the center of gravity is far enough forward? (you can tell I'm no pilot...)

[bage881]

So far I've logged 3.5hrs. I've covered Slow Flights and my next lesson is gonna be on Stalls/Spins :) Should be FUN!!!

[jvlinks]

im terrified of this, and i have to do it soon what would you compare this to. Is it really that intense if you have ever done any?

[bage881]

lol its normal to be terrified I was afraid but still really excited to experience this "Stall" lol...I'll be honest, the first couple of times are kinda scary, but you'll get accustomed to them very soon....Each person is different tho so just go ahead and do it!! lol

[jvlinks]

hahaha thanks im not letting this keep me from my dreams i heard spins arent required to be practiced anymore would you compare this to a roller coaster or is it worse?

[bage881]

thats the only way you'll know ;)

[ald74564654]

evey pilot has to know how to recover from this

[plane63]

@ald74564654 I agree, there not as bad as everybody fears though. The G's are there for about 2 seconds and they gradually build up with speed but are nothing more than steep turns...

The FAA should implement spins in the PTS

[LouieDog21]

@plane63 You're stupid. Every plane has different stall charcteristics and alot of planes its not recoverable. Are you a test pilot? Do only what the manufacturer says is acceptable and keep the CG within limits unless you're flying alone then have at it hoss

[plane63]

@LouieDog21 I am not stupid young sir, I am also not a test pilot. However, in most all modern day training aircraft spins can be recovered from, that's why the FAA should implement them in the PTS. If I were a flight instructor still - I would never let a student out solo to practice maneuvers without first knowing the characteristics of entering into a spin and how to recover from a spin.

[LouieDog21]

@plane63 Do me a favor, put 250lbs in the back seat, then 150 in the baggage pit and go spin til' your little hearts content!

[plane63]

@LouieDog21 Unfortunately I cannot do that as the C172 is only certified for spins in the Utility category, which means the the baggage area and backseats may not be occupied.

[Nintenkid91]

@plane63 Agreed, but some aren't even rated for spins and others you basically have you force it to spin because it wouldn't on its own. But yeah spin awareness definitely is a good thing. Most just stick to PEAR and that's it though :(

[plane63]

@Nintenkid91 You're right. A cessna however will likely recover on its own of all of the controls are neutralized. Then you'd just be dealing with the stall.

[snoopyloopy]

@plane63 yes, i know a cfi who said he had a student who was deathly scared of spins. so one day, he took her up an a 150 to 7500, told her to sit on her hands (and not to scream unless he did), spun the plane, then sat on his hands. plane recovered itself at about 3000.

[last1in]

@ald74564654 the trick in a 172, let go...

[tbob404]

stomp on the rudder and pull back when u first hear the stall warning and u will get an even better one.

[tondog54]

Wrong. If you're ever with a pilot who HASN"T ever done this.....don't get on that plane.

[waynepowell1984]

@tondog54 - FACT

[toootankhamooon]

cooooooooool :))))))
