How to fly a tin can: the Cessna 152

I hate stalls (POWER UP BITCHES)

Power-on stalls

First, configure for (hypothetical) landing

1700 rpm, pitch for 65 KIAS, mixture full rich

Once you can maintain this, add full power and pitch up

Pitch up

Pitch up higher

Yank the yoke all the way to your chest

You’re falling (not backwards), congratulations!

Do not touch your ailerons, you’re going to stall your wings and spin. Yaw to right, get off right rudder. Yaw to left, hit right rudder.

Power is in, flaps are already up, pitch up for Vx or best angle of climb speed (55 KIAS)

Transition to best rate of climb speed (68 KIAS)

You’re at your starting altitude again! Congrats!

Jamshedpur Flying School License Suspended After Fatal Crash

DGCA halts Alchemist Aviation operations following audit; two lives lost in accident The DGCA suspended Alchemist Aviation’s license after a fatal crash and subsequent audit revealed serious safety issues at the Jamshedpur-based flying school. JAMSHEDPUR – Following a tragic aircraft crash and safety audit, the DGCA has suspended the operational approval of Alchemist Aviation, a flying training…

In just THREE DAYS, we have gotten:

Thursday: A DHC-8 in South Sudan that landed so hard it ripped off all of its wheels, forcing the pilots to abort the landing and successfully pull an emergency landing a few minutes later.

Friday: An ATR-72 in Brazil crashed after apparently entering into a deep stall, the final moments of the plane being captured in film by multiple people, becoming the first time in history that a commercial airliner caught in a flat spin was ever recorded

Saturday (today): A Cessna 152 flown by an Argentinian private pilot was intentionally crashed into an oxygen plant in the city of Rosario, after the disgruntled pilot was fired from it a day prior.

One hell of a wild and tragic week for aviation.

would the premise of the movie planes be possible in real life can you actually use an air tractor at-400 as a stunt plane or would you fucking die

I've never actually seen the movie, but most planes are probably more capable than you'd think of performing aerobatics (though not necessarily legal). There's even an aerobatic version of the Cessna 152, and test pilot Tex Johnson once famously did a roll in a Boeing 707 prototype!

The type of flying that crop dusters do is already pretty close to aerobatics with the sharp turns they have to do to make successive parallel passes over a field, and with the Air Tractor's beefy airframe I imagine they can pull some serious gs when lightly loaded.

One other consideration though is that most planes that aren't specifically designed for aerobatics can't handle negative gs (including flying upside-down) for more than a few seconds without causing serious fuel flow issues (either too much fuel or too little) that would stop the engine. Oil flow can be affected as well and possibly damage the engine.

Аргентавис обитал на равнинах Пампаса и в большей части Патагонии в Аргентине в верхнем миоцене. Он весил около 70 кг, имел рост 1,26 м и размах крыльев до 8 м. По размерам он был похож на самолет Cessna-152. Считается, что он вымер от восьми до шести миллионов лет назад.

Everything has a procedure. A checklist.

Adrien had studied plenty of those: Emergency procedures, pre-landing checklists, even the NATO alphabet…

Yet none of it had prepared him for this moment. Here he was, in the cockpit of his Cessna with Marinette Dupain-Cheng, who insisted they were 'just friends', sporting red and black spotted sunglasses that she always managed to misplace—hence her fitting nickname "Ladybug".

Most pilots don't want nicknames, but Adrien figured Marinette's wasn't half bad. His, on the other hand…

Chat Noir. 'Noir' because of his father's insistence on purchasing a distinctive black Cessna 172 for him to train on, instead of the typical white Cessna 152s provided by the flight school.

And 'Chat' because, well, Adrien had a regrettable habit of accidentally meowing on the radio, especially when nerves got the better of him—which, given the present company, seemed imminent.

He was Adrien Agreste, an aspiring pilot, just 97.5 hours shy of his commercial pilot's license, and trying to impress his flight school crush, Marinette.

fic coming soon :) In the meantime, check out my other works!

What on Earth is this motherfucker talking about

Joe Biden has literally nothing to do with the F-35. The Joint Strike Fighter program (which produced the F-35) was started under Bill Clinton, the design finalist (the X-35) was selected under George W. Bush, orders for the aircraft were placed under the Obama Administration, and the F-35A and C actually entered production during-- you guessed it, the Trump Administration. (F-35B started at the tail of the Obama Admin) The only thing Joe's done is not cancel the order- something Trump could have done when he was president!

The F-35 in question did not fall out of the sky. In fact the problems was that it did the opposite-- kept flying on autopilot after the pilot ejected. If it dropped like a rock, it would have been much easier to find.

"Two Engines for reliability" -- ha! Here's a list of manned, single-engine aircraft in active use by the U.S. military: the MH/AH-6M Little Bird (attack helicopter), the F-16 Fighting Falcon (Fighter Jet), the T-6 Texan II (Turboprop Trainer), the T-45 Goshawk (Jet Trainer), the TH-57B Sea Ranger (Helicopter Trainer), the T-41D Mescalero (aka the Cessna 172), the T-51A Cessna (aka the Cessna 152), the T-53A Kadet II (aka the Cirrus SR20), the TH-1H Iroquois (Trainer Helicopter, aka the "Huey"), the U-2S Dragon Lady (High-Altitude Reconnaissance), the U-28A Draco (aka the Pilatus PC-12), the UH-1N Twin Huey (Utility Helicopter), and the AV-8B Harrier II (VTOL/"Jump Jet" Fighter); that's 13 aircraft, not including the F-35! You'll note the Harrier sounds a lot like our friend the Lightning-- that is because the F-35(B) is the AV-8B's replacement. I have no idea why he thinks two engines is always better. The F-16, arguably the most cost-effective modern fighter ever built, is a single engine plane. Literally nobody is going to argue we should retire the F-16 because it doesn't have redundant engines. That's absurd.

The "Praying Mantis". I have literally never heard anyone call the B757 the "Praying Mantis". Perhaps he's simply lost his mind.

The most popular airliner among commercial pilots? The data is a little sparse, but the most commonly recurring aircraft I've seen are the 777, the 747, the A380, the 737. The 757 comes up occasionally, but it's not exactly a domineering position. Most pilots' favorite aircraft is the one they fly. The most produced airliner? The 737 with ~11,000, then the A320 ~10,000, and then the 727 with ~1,800.

Literally nobody should have listened to you regarding the 737 MAX. In fact, it's worth pointing out it was your FAA that allowed the 737 MAX to certified as a 737, that the MCAS and Fly-By-Wire were not substantially different from previously certified 737s, and that Boeing was capable of and trustworthy in conducting their self-evaluation. Your administration chose to leave the "red tape" and regulation at the door, and it killed 346 people. (Obviously Trump did not make decisions in the FAA, but he's as guilty as he reasonably could be)

Eat My Ass

The 737 is not ugly :(

How to fly a tin-can: The Cessna 152

I hate stalls

Power off-stall (slow flight included)

Configure for slow flight

Slow flight: Go to 1700 rpm, dump flaps in, adjust power as necessary to maintain constant altitude at 55 KIAS

Cruuuuuuiiiiiise, enjoy it, look out the windows while F-18s struggle to keep up because you’re so damn slow

Power off stall part, pitch up

Pitch up

Keep pitching

Hear that stall horn? Keep pitching

Now you’ve started to fall!

Pitch down and full power

(Do not, I repeat, do not use ailerons. You will stall your wings. Falling to right, release right rudder. Fall to left, add right rudder)

At 60 KIAS, go to 20 degrees of flaps

At 70 go to 10 degrees

Full out at 80

You’re alive! Congratulations!!!

Cessna 152 I love youuuu ♡

[identifying-planes-in-posts]

when you say 'cessna 172' are you actually identifying it or are you just guessing with the knowledge that like 80% of the light aircraft in the US are cessna 172s

(I'm assuming this is referring to this post)

Based on my own flying experience I can say with 100% certainty that it's a Cessna cockpit. As for the specific model, it can't be a 152 because in those the door post is even with the side of the instrument panel whereas in this plane it's a few inches aft. I ruled out the 182 or any of the larger Cessnas because 45 knots is well below the flaps down stall speed, and the cockpit just generally doesn't look right to be any of the vintage models. So yes, I'm pretty confident that it's a Cessna 172.
