  • lol rotate is 55 kts not 70.

  • Now one thing he failed to mention is the torque effect: every single engine aircraft is gonna have a tendency to drift to the left during take-off, so you correct that with some slight right rudder.

  • I'm already at 1500ft at fucking 70 knots...

  • hi my name is dicks in july

  • @TheFsReview I am a pilot with over 200 hours in a cessna 172. Best rate of climb in a standard equipped 172 is between 67 and 79 KIAS. And flaps are not recommended to be used on regular takeoffs.

  • @PilotDJ192 flaps can be used in regular take-offs, however they arent required.

    best rate of climb speed is between 75-80 knots. curise is 100 knots in the 172.

  • Hey Joe from Family guy, I mean guy from Expert Village, flaps are only used on soft or short field takeoffs, and you'd have to be pretty drunk to rotate at 70 knots. And 85 knots is pretty much a cruising speed for a 172. In reality, a 172 would climb out at either Vy or Vx which is between 60 & 70 knots for this type of aircraft. Lets get real here...

  • Wait a minute. You're telling me that I should rotate a C172 at 70 knots? Are you fucking kidding me? By 70 knots, I'm already airborne and on my way to go have a $100 hamburger, for fuck's sake!

    55-60 knots is your usual rotation speed, not 70! Dumbass.

  • There is more to flaps on takeoff than just reducing takeoff distance.

  • excelente !
