The avionics in the skyhawk has more shit then the Embrarer 145 I fly for the airlines! Amazing how far avionics have gotten.

@calltipv2 Haha yea. I was actually talking to a Navy Blackhawk pilot and he said that he didn't have a moving map. Nuts how a Cessna is more advanced in some ways than a Blackhawk.

Thank you for your very informational video...tell ya what, I would REALLY appreciate it if you could make another video, only on how to start a briggs&stratton Lawnmower. That would be great

@ericbrom Normally I don't give in to this kind of crap, but tell ya what, I would REALLY appreciate it if you could take your attitude somewhere else and cut the b/s. That would be great.

Did you forget to turn on the alternators? I didn't hear you say anything about it... Good video though! I fly a DA-40 which doesnt use a primer but uses a fuel pump, informative when I climb into a primer engine plane

@Dominoes282 I turned on the alternator with the battery. It's the same switch (split for battery and alternator). This particular plane also uses a fuel pump like the DA40.

To all those who are commenting on the whole 'mixture' issue, how many of you are actually qualified pilots? I mean in the real world, not just in flight sims that you love so much. I fly a 172SP just like this and I always start the engine with the mixture control at ICO and then advance it to fully rich when the engine fires. The engine is primed (only if needed, it often doesn't need priming) using the electric fuel pump and the mixture control for a few seconds or until fuel flow rises.

I once went for a trial lesson at a flight school in a cessna 172 and the windscreen was very dirty and had not been cleaned. COuld this be a generally indication that they may be neglecting their airplanes in subtle ways

@MrAviator81

It's not a matter of opinion. Hot start and cold start procedures are different for some engines. Especially fuel injected engines.

@mikew172 Interesting! I was always taught full mixture in for start! Then again everyone has their own opinion:/

Thanks for the video!!! I'm starting to take flight lessons in a C172S G1000... This really helps thanks!

Had my first ever flight in one when I was 14... the G1000 is just awesome
