Zero G with Cessna Skyhawk

[TheMeslava]

@DreamWikings I said that it has a fuel pump... that should be self explanatory, it has fuel FED to it buy a pump. It's not done by gravity alone. And I'm pretty sure a fuel pump is part of the injection system of the aircraft...

[TheMeslava]

@bae215 You can't say that... Some FUEL INJECTED Cessna 172's like the ones from 2003 and on and even earlier probably have a fuel pump... And what do you mean on the "cessna".. You do realize there are many different types of cessna's right? Caravan, Citation, 170, 172, 152... and everything varies by year. 

[DreamVikings]

@TheMeslava Hmm what does the mixing system (carburetor / injection) has to do with the feeding of the fuel (pumped/gravity)? Dont start bitching at me im just asking you.

TOO MUCH MONEY MAKE YOU STUPID!

[papakeetee]

THE NAVY DUDE IS RIGHT F#@%^ FACE!

[papakeetee]

TURNS AND SPINS ARE DIFFERENT THAN O-G

[papakeetee]

nocalsteve your are a know it all who cares NERD BOY

[mmonsturr]

so now people who are experts at thier trade are nerds?

im sorry some of us are actualy usefull to society

[papakeetee]

nocalsteve shut up you fool who cares you don't have to marry the dude, you must have a small prick,we don't care how much you know you still suck.....shut up you homo1!! boston yer my home f- cali.

[jordan8705]

...that doesn't change the fact that nocalsteve is right. I don't see anything wrong with educating somebody.

[chrispacmen]

lol dude you have a seriouse problem!!!!

[GoNavy311]

Yes I do know the effects of a zero G maneuver in a Cessna 172, or any aircraft like it. Unless the plane has an inverted fuel system (which the 172 does not), any sustained or even temporary zero G maneuvers will starve the fuel system and threaten an engine stall. Therefore, any pilot who does this (like the hundreds of youtube users who have uploaded videos of their zero G idiocy) is a reckless, sh!t-for-brains "pilot" and should be made to attend 60 hours of aviation safety seminars.

[nocalsteve]

Since you are obviously not a pilot, why don't you get some experience in Cessna single engine aircraft before you start telling real pilots what to do with them. Zero G manuevers will not "starve" the fuel system, and even if NEGATIVE G manuevers cause an engine stall it corrects itself as soon as positive G is restored. The load limit range in the Normal Category is +3.8 to -1.52 G's for 172's. Zero G is within this range. Guess we should stop doing those stalls, spins, and steep turns, too?

[LaZyLuKe25]

there a acrobatic pilot on here some were, i watched him and he has no invert fuel, he flyinfs a oldie plane, so your wrong

[bae215]

I agree with GoNavy311 on this one. You do starve the fuel system while in the maneuver because, on the cessna, the fuel flows due to gravity. It doesnt have a fuel pump that you have in a low wing. I am a pilot, and I am aware of this, but it doesnt stop me from doing the maneuver with friends. As long as you do it correctly, there is no harm in doing so. The first time I did it with the instructor, we did have a significant drop in RPM though:D

Safe flying guys:D

[DreamVikings]

@bae215 Thanks I was just asking myself about that. Sometimes when im 50 feet low of the desired FL i do like a quick climb and level off that results in a short 0G. I do it for fun but my instructor told me "dont you ever do that to your girlfriend". haha.

[torigolddust]

what are those two white dots floating up

[nexus1g]

Haha, I bet that tickled the gut.

[d260]

anyone know the effects of zero g in a 172 on the fuel and oil system? just curious.

[fishercollin]

as far as i know as long as the negative g force isnt for long then there shouldnt be any effect! i havent really tested it out for long periods of time, just a few seconds at the most recovering from stalls in flight training!

[GimliGlider]

Whoa, zero G for a couple of seconds when recovering from stalls? That's not supposed to happen...

[fishercollin]

maybe im having a little more fun then just doing flight training :)

[GimliGlider]

Hehe, thought so. Nothing wrong with that (as long as you know what you're doing)! ;)

[blackbird1080]

Make sure you don't over speed!

[joshster89]

What is a Cessna SkyWALK? Isn't it SkyHAWK

[inspiron1]

True. Update video info. Tnx for noticing!

[Dude1788]

To pull negative g's, the pilot must pull back on the stick (which means your ascending), then push down (now your going down) abruptly and hold it. The feeling is almost like a roller coaster drop except it's much more intense and awesome!

[Regislive]

thats cool how did u do that?

[hishighness420]

Isn't that dangerous?

[NateDawg80126]

*YAWN*

[timmydank]

haha
