Another Flight in the Cessna C172S - Garmin G1000

[svboy3284]

The best landings are those when the stall horn sounds right before the wheels meet the conrete/asphalt. The stall horn should sound roughly 8 knots BEFORE an actual stall. Therefore the stall horn is not an indicator of an actual stall.

You did over correct a little. Next time try crabbing just as you did, but coming out of the crab into a side slip (cross control) a lot earlier. 50 feet or so off the ground. That way you have plenty of time to figure out the right control inputs.

i want a G1000

[Wolfss2]

Beautiful! I remember when I was 8 and I flew in a Cessna. Damn I was too scared that I couldn´t enjoy the moment.

[barmer479]

be careful when landing that you have that stall warning thgats very dangers, Ive flown many hours, just be careful, better to land a little hot.. God Bless

[flyboy172r]

@barmer479 Thanks for the comment! With regards to the stall warning horn while landing: A combination of headwind, ground effect and instinct will safely keep the aircraft from stalling (Stall Speed, Full Flap, C172S = 40kts IAS). The stall warning horn is actually tought as a good indication of when you have washed off enough speed in the flare to gently put the mains down. The key with any good landing is control.

Cool approaches! I like how you fly right down the street to the runway!

[rog078]

Looks like YMMB

[flyboy172r]

I would hope so! :-)

[youtrein]

good landings !

[Flyboisk8er]

I feel your pain on the last landing..

X winds can be a bitch.

My second solo, I was doing crash and dashes when all of a sudden I got a gust from an approaching thunderstorm... thought I was gonna strike a wing.

I called it a day and parked the aircraft after that haha.

good vid

[irritantekip]

yeaaaaah good flight captain johnny dude ! 5/5 !

[volcom1722]

crosswind? :S

Nice job I hope to start at Latorbe Valley flying school :)

[flyboy172r]

I did my first NAV to (and CTAF-R circuit join) at Latrobe Valley! Great airport :-) Good luck with the training!

[dgreen002]

sweet dude, you can fly

[flyboy172r]

:D Yeah. I loved your shooting vids mate!

[cessnamustangpilot]

I learned to fly at 51 and moved up to flying a Cessna Mustang now. You are never too old to learn to fly.

Isn't great that we in general aviation, especially in C-172s and C-182s (least I not forget the Mustang) have better avionics than the major airlines.

[at802]

um.... better avionics than the majors hey... have u ever flown an airliner.. the G1000 is good but i wouldn't go that far.

[cessnamustangpilot]

Actually yes I have flown an airliner or two since getting my certificate. I am a Southwest first officer with about 400 PIC hours in a B737-700. Doesn't make me an expert, but still think the G-1000 is more advanced than the Honeywells.

[futurepilot764]

Oh that's cool so what did you do to get there?

[cessnamustangpilot]

Went to an intense 90 day ATP school, put in 14 hours a day, then paid my way for first officer's training. Went to the airline and said, I would fly "part-time" or "full-time". I don't need the benefits package since I am retired military.

...and I still like the G-1000 over Honeywells, an the Pro Line 21. Some of the captains I have flown with are jealous I have so much time with the G-1000.

[drummer987]

nice crosswind landing.

[Transam941]

Nice G1000

[flyboy172r]

God yes!

[Transam941]

You know when I was in a 182T a few months ago. I was in the right seat, but I noticed that the G1000 lagged. It was a bit glitchy. Does this plane do that?

[flyboy172r]

Nah I don't experience any lag , I'ts quite efficient.

[Transam941]

Hmm. thats weird. Thats great yours doesnt do that.

[irritantekip]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooool I wanna do that too dude

[Halo2Ollie]

Don't be so modest, that landing looked fine by my standard mate :)

[mitchellboon]

Nice video,In holland i fly a cessna 172 to :D it whas very nice,I love flying :D

[flyboy172r]

Who can POSSIBLY *not* like flying! Thanks for commenting man.

[IairbusI]

How old are you and how many hours do you have?

[flyboy172r]

18 / Just about 80 hours.

[IairbusI]

Ok,and do you want to be a commercial pilot later?

[flyboy172r]

Yeah. I'm already booked in for next year.

[IairbusI]

so you are saying next year,you will be a commercial pilot?

[flyboy172r]

Well over the next 3 years I will get my CSU endorsement, Multi Engine, Aerobatics Rating, CPL, Instructor Rating and NVFR Rating.

[IairbusI]

ok...im starting my multi-engine maybe this year or next year.but im only 14,lol.I have my student license,my radio and my medical.

[flyboy172r]

Lol its NEVER too early to start! ;) I started when I was 15.

[IairbusI]

i started at 10 lol,i needed 2 pillows XD

[Nigolas16]

WOW the cross winds looked terrible. im flying a cirrus and they handle the crosswinds very well for such a light aircraft.

[bostonfd]

I absolutely love the G1000. I fly a 182 equipped with the G1000 for search and rescue, and it seems to simplify things so well.

[iksteh]

nice flying. crosswinds at moorabbin can be a handful at the best of times.. i blame the factories on the east side of the airport.

Is the stall warning=good landing a cessna thing as I learned in pipers and they tend to settle gently before the horn goes off. Could be added ground effects from the low wing?

[flyboy172r]

Yeah, ive heard that before, a few of the instructors at GFS had experience in Pipers and apparently the landing is a lot smoother than the Cessna. If it is ground effect, then there would be a difference in effectiviness between high wing and low wing aircraft.

[flyboy172r]

Hey I have more information on this: (For the record: Wingspan of a C172 is 11 meters, Wingspan of a Piper is 9.2 meters). At one wingspan length from the ground (30' for a Piper, 36' for a Cessna) Ground effect results in a 1% reduction in induced drag. At 1/10th the wingspan (3 feet) from the ground Induced drag is reduced by 50%. The difference between high and low wing aircraft is about 2ish meters so there would be a difference in effectiveness.

[nicname2008]

u are not pilot stupid!

[flyboy172r]

Lol mate, you are hilarious! I COMPLETELY shut you and your thick friends down in your idiotic videos and this is the best comeback you could muster? Mate you're pathetic! LMAO!! BTW: Nuclear weapons DO exist...

[TheFatAussieBarstard]

Nice job mate..I,ve done this 1000 times..(in Flight sim)..lol...I actually took 12 lessons when I was a young fella...then ran outta money..lolol...

[flyboy172r]

Lol Pete I love flight sim, pity I can't do the real thing more often. You should clear out one of your paddocks and ill come down on a flyaway for some drinkies!

[BB10Pilot]

You know a good landing when you hear that stall warning horn go off right as you flare!

Great job!

[Straighten88]

Nice flying, get a better camera next time ;)

[flyboy172r]

Lol - This is a 3.2 Megapixel camera, so I think we have an: "I think I can" situation! ;) I'll see what we can do about the camera for next time.

[Straighten88]

i know its a 3.2 megapixel camera ;)

[flyboy172r]

How ever could you tell!!?? :P

[warriorpa28flyer]

I knew that as well.... we are gifted
