  • @wes4569 wow i posted that comment more than two years ago. Since then i became a CFI, CFII and taught these maneuvers in both the 172 and arrow with more than 1500 dual given(lots of fun). Now im flying the Saab 340 running cargo all over the Caribbean loving life. Still really miss teaching the basics to new students.

  • @jonny2387 That certainly works and is a good reference method. The biggest thing to remember with most of these maneuvers is that much of the technique is personal preference, do it how you are comfortable and keep it within PTS, you will be fine.

  • these videos are nice and helpful...but SIU Flight for life!

  • So at 3:43 the mixture looks like its at cut-off....not gonna be very important to clear the engine if it isn't running lol

  • power should not be brought all the way up.....50% or rless should ddo the work with less risk.

  • @AviatorXXXI  Vg + 10

  • im kinda confused i was taught in a c172 and my instructor had me place my left tire over my selected point an and keep it there. then complete the three turns and roll out on my entree heading. he told me the way he knew if i was doing it correctly was if he wasn't able to see the point i selected.

  • Nope.. Increase your glid airpeed by the square root of the load factor. The recommended best glide speed for a C152 is 60 knots. In a roll with 60 degree bank there's a 2G load factor on the airplane. To maintain an airspeed of 60 knots you need a high angle of attack. This critical angle of attack will put your wings close to a stall. Ever wondered why you gett the stall warning horn at 60 knots in a steep turn? =) 85 knots will give you L/Dmax in a 60 degree bank gliding turn in the C152.

  • i agree, but as with most schools, Its a preference. As long as it is within tolerance with the PTS.

  • The airspeed should be best glide (79 knts in the arrow) during the turns.
