  • hey nice vid

    where did yu get this airplane

  • Do a search for FSInsider C152. Click the first link, and follow the link in the forum.

  • 70 knot glide speed way to fast.

    2300RPM here in Aus at Royal Aero Club

  • 2200RPM is about 90 knots IAS, and 55 knots is only 5-6 knots above VS1. I wouldn't think that it is wise for you to be holding the nose straight and level this close to a stall when you are entering the descent.

  • 2300 RPM * = cruise

    Throttle Idle on Descent ( clear every 1000FT)

    Glide speed ~ 55 knots

    Leveling off anticipate at 100ft above (FPM=1000)

  • 2200RPM = cruise

    Glide speed - 70 knots

  • do please include FSX in your title, I'm looking for real life vids not video game vids! 

  • @george7378 Stuka's right. Best glide speed in a C152 is 60kts IAS

  • Power-Attitude-Trim (:

  • glide speed depends on weight, it shuld be no more than 60 at max gross, it should decrease a bit with a lighter gross weight (technically)

  • Im Pretty Certain The 152 Has A Best Glide Speed Of 65 Knots, Not 70

  • Cheers mate, btw anticipate by %10 of your rate of Descent and use PAPT to come out of the gilde

  • Yup, agreed.
