- Join me and my instructor, Cody, flying the Cessna 172RG Cutlass from United Flight Systems. This is my first flight in the retractable gear 172, so you can see Cody showing me the ropes as we go along. This is part of my training toward earning a Commercial Pilot Certificate. If you're learning to fly, or have ever been interested in learning more about aviation: subscribe up, I'm getting better at this, and there's a lot more coming. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! Love the cutlass.
Thanks for sharing!
the cutlass 172rg is a lovely airplane
I'm glad it could be helpful! I've been meaning to complete the second part of this video, which is mostly the engine out procedures, manual gear extension, and a couple landings. I'll get on it soon, just because you mentioned it!
I just started flying a Cutlass. I'm going to get my instrument rating in it. After 1 flight I think I'm in love. :)
Thanks man! Yesterday was absolutely awesome, getting to know so many other area pilots. The GoPro video of the landing competition turned out great, can't wait to get it put together and uploaded. Stay in touch, man, lots of great flying still to come!
Thanks for dropping by. Unlike the Piper's, though, every instructor I've had (8 in total now in 10 years) has taught stall recovery in Cessna's the same way: full power, flaps to 10, positive rate, then the rest. I'll go through the POH just because you mentioned it.
You can't make it out in the video, but in Cessna's I push the throttle knob with the ball of my palm, and the carb heat knob with my thumb at the same time. Little habit I picked up somewhere. Thanks for stopping by though...
I have a cutlass and can give you a small pointer when you drop the gear put 10 degree flap at the same time. The plane will straighten up .
Niiiiiicccceee. Keep flying
really appreciate the video. thanks
Great Video! I use Cody as my instructor as well! I loved the last bit where he said let's go check out the horse farm... you just lost your engine... hahah He's done that to me before too
Very surprising. Are you sure--it seemed the instructor in this video did say "flaps gear flaps flaps" beforehand, but didn't correct you when you went straight to 10. Anyway, it is on the 172 normal checklist in the "Balked landing" section. You want to get rid of the drag without getting rid of the lift, and that happens at about 20 degrees. In the older Cessnas with 40 degrees of flap, we go from 40 to 20--that's the only time you skip an increment. It's really isn't different from Piper.
hey there steve, cliff from the flight school at weiser great flying buddy!!!!
Great video! I just watched as refresher after not flying an RG in a bit of a while. When is Part II coming?
First flap retraction after a stall or go-around should be from 30 to 20, then pos. rate, then gear. Otherwise it looked like you did well.
Dont forget to put that carb heat back in during power off stalls!!!
im an aviation student currently working towards my private but eventually my atp. I was curious on how you mounted the gopro outside the plane
+The Tall Texan I actually used the bicycle clamp supplied by GoPro for mounting to handle bars. This particular airplane had a skid plate mounted with the tail tiedown that I was able to clamp the camera mount to. I was really worried about loosing the camera, but obviously it stayed put. Good luck on your training! It's worth every penny.
The 172 just looks so messed up when you cant see the landing gear
Sir, awesome stuff. but may I ask, why no new videos? I would also like to point you to shareaviation.com not that I am a pilot, but they do good stuff, and you would fit right in.
Can you provide me the picture of the mount you made for a gopro using the tie down hook? I need to make one to get these awesome views
Nell E Actually it was the standard GoPro handlebar clamp mount, believe it or not. This particular bird had more than the typical tiedown loop, but a whole skid plate to clamp to. I haven't tried just duct-taping the camera, but I'm told it works just fine. Good luck!
What kind of attachment r u using under the tail section?
It was actually just the standard GoPro bicycle-clamp attached to the tail-tiedown point. I've heard that the suction-cup mount works out on the wing, but haven't been gutsy enough to try that yet. Thanks for watching!
Thxs for the tip!
