look at the lower right of the dash. He has full flaps on takeoff. That is what a checklist is for. It has nothing to do with power. He has a dirty wing and will never overpower the flaps like that.

This is why you put flaps up when you land, after your pre-flight, AND during the checklist.

They are lucky to be alive.

Plus, unless he was carry a couple of 400-lb fat chicks, he should have known his speed was not increasing anywhere near as fast as it should and aborted the takeoff.

Pilot fail. Hope he lost his license.

With 4 adults in a 172, you're already slightly overweight. Combined with taking off with full flaps there was no chance. Pilot fail, that's all there is to it.

only an idiot would choose to continue to fly instead of aborting the takeoff. he had plenty of runway (not to mention space) to put his plane down.

If this is fsx no problem. In real life you don't get second chance.

this wasnt just pilot error in that he took off with full flaps, he must have also been way oberweight also he had a whole field where he couldve aborted and made an emergancy landing

[MrJosholech]

Weights and balances how you foiled me again! Oh yeah, ground effect too.

[otissumnerbrown]

He was not airbone 3/4 way down the runway. That is when you quit.

[Spanduer90]

he had plenty of runway there to abort the takeoff.

[riDDDiculous]

Don't blame the plane! It's not the plane, its the pilot.

Sorry, but its true.

cessna 172's are high-drag low-power flying tubs anyway

@artistgmg - The flap switch in older model Cessna's is spring loaded and returns to the neutral position after you depress it to lower flaps, unlike the new switches which stay in the down position. The small gauge to the right of the flap handle indicates flap position and in this case indicates that the flaps are fully extended.

@artistgmg Not sure. just giving other possibilities why it is not climbing. I've seen a lot of hobbyist overload light aircraft. and if it was a 150, it is not a procedure to takeoff with flaps like in the 172 or piper of sorts.
