Plane 172 fun video

Just plane C172 fun

I was a back passenger during a precheckride lesson for a student and
was invited along for the ride. Normal takeoff, stall and fall and
Forward slip to no flap landing featured in this video.

Needless to say, being in the back seat of a Cessna allows for a
unique view out the back window for launch as compared to my
windowless Sundowner and the tire (without the wheel pants) on
landing. A stall was tossed in for good measures.

3 clips in one for the prices of 2 minutes 12 seconds of your
time.

And not to be lost in the video, in my NON CFI rated opinion....
student is checkride ready

NOTE Student did NOT know I was videoing until after the plane was
put to bed. I purposely did not tell him as I did not want to add to
any distraction factor.

Even one better! Less parasitic drag from the lack of ridging of
treads! Better performance!

The better performance depends on whether you want to stop or go... I
have no idea whether the tread would increase drag -it might even
decrease it!

But I would have thought the preflight should have flagged it? It's
difficult to see the tread with spatted wheels in long grass but seal
stainers have no excuse!

Shucks Jim!

I been in my rear windowless Slowdowner so long, that here I thought
that was the whiskey compass on the glareshield.

Is that the new fangled rear view mirrors of these new fancy dancy
NEWER model Cessnas. Where is the reverse selection for backing up?
