"Nicholas Kliewer" wrote in message = ... =20 =20 Does anyone know of any other pilots that have done this type=20 of trip in a C172? =20 =20 Thanks! =20 -Nick I once took a 172 with one passenger from Las Vegas to John Wayne, and we picked up enough ice in climb that we were unable to reach 12000. So ATC let us go WAFDOF at 11000, which was still above MEA. The mountain waves were very interesting that day! If your 172 will be loaded heavily, you will see very poor climb rates at those high altitudes. Be experienced in leaning for maximum engine power in climb, or else you may not make it. ---JRC---
