Thank you so much! this is the third or fourth version of the video it took a while to get it right! also a couple takes in the pattern to get away from busy traffic in the video!
Awesome! After virtually flying a Cessna 152 around Sedona, Arizona (with Microsoft Flight Simulator) it was great fun to watch a real Cessna 152 in action. Thanks so much for this video!!!!!
Looks newer than the one I used to fly. But they are all the same. Easy to fly. Landing a light plane is not bad but you might have to dance a bit if the wind does not co-operate.
How to fly a 152...get out and push. Learned to fly a 150 back in the early 70s and someone with a sense of humor slapped a bumper sticker on it that said "I'd rather be flying." Remember that slogan? And I just checked the FAA registry and that '67 C-150 is still in the air. Unbelievable.
It does and I do, I didn't mention every checklist item in the audio, it goes by so fast forgot to mention some things that I do. I use the Checkmate version of the checklist. Now that being said, the trim on this aircraft almost never moved or moves barely.
Were you turning on the runway lights when you clicked the mic five time on the base leg? Thank you for displaying the procedures you use for your 152.
Two questions, if I may, from a UK-based PPL. First, why the screen-mounted phone AND a yoke-mounted GPS? Redundancy, or something else? And second, which specific yoke mount do you use (and, I guess, what's the device you're looking at on the mount)? Backstory: got the licence here in the UK in the 1980s, flew in the UK and California in the 1990s, and kinda accidentally lapsed in 2003. Got the licence back this year, but find that in the meantime, things like ADSB and GPS have come along. Whole new learning curve. Enjoying the flying, though.
Hello @malcolmwheatley4965 The reason for the iPhone in addition to the GPS, the iPhone get the ADS-B data from my Stratus transponder. I don't really use the iPhone for navigation but more for collision avoidance and tracking other aircraft. The Garmin GPS on the yoke does not interface with my transponder unfortunately. I use the Garmin Aero 660 on the yoke, and its mounted with RAM Universal X-Grip Cell Phone System Mount - Yoke Mount and 1-inch Ball and Socket Mount for Garmin aera 660 and 760. If you have a cigarette lighter power socket you can power the Garmin. Unfortunately I do not in my plane however the battery lasts well beyond the length of any flight I could take in the 152. I can also power it with an Anker battery pack as well.
Thank you so much! That's a really interesting, useful reply. I very much appreciate the information. Like I say, the world of aviation has changed a lot during my non-flying hiatus, and there's an awful lot that I don't know. I am now better informed, thanks to you! @@falconflying1145
@@falconflying1145 Do you run the rpms up high to sorta listen to the engine? I imagined a runup would be going down the runway real fast just to see how its running.
I earned my single-engine land private license in a 152 in 1970. I greatly appreciated the thoroughness of your video. However I found your audio quite difficult to understand at times. The main issues were your diminished volume and your poor voice modulation. In your video you are essentially speaking to an audience from onstage. Your audience will find you very difficult to understand if you do not vary the pitch of your voice and this will result in them also becoming quite bored. I know I did and several times I skipped forward in order to be finished with the video sooner.
152’s are so much fun to fly. Simple and basic and allows for the pure enjoyment of flying.
Agreed. I learned to fly in 150s, moved up to 172s for advanced ratings but flew the150/152 just for fun.
When I got my licence in 1970, I did not expect anyone making a How-to for a C152 53 years later.
Yep its the sad situation general aviation is in. Affordable , certified , GA aircraft are not being manufactured.
I liked flying the 152 for my private training in college. My school had 10 of them back in the day. Go Pens!
Lets go pens!!
You mentioned everything you did and why! Excellent, learning so much from you!

Brings back memories. Today American Airlines 24.5 years. Enjoy
Home base CCV
I was instructor with Singapore Flying College 1989 till 2005 ... Cessna 152 II and Cessna 152 Aerobat ... Normal aspirated engine, 108 horse
Great video. Felt like i was flying w you. I like how you lean on taxi.. smart guy. Lose the death grip on the yoke ....
I always describe Cessna 152 a FUN aircraft

Yep, I have a late model one of the last ones made in 1985.
Cool vid. Like the Penguins hat. Grew up in Moon Twp. Go Pens!

OMG GREAT MEMORIES.......
Great Video! Keep going! 🛩👍
Thank you! 👍
10hrs in a 152 so far while I go through a 141. Awesome stuff.
that is awesome! You'll have your cert in no time!
Hey. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
IN 1989 I learned on the same type aircraft N6529M
Does your check list not include trim for take off or did I just miss that part. Brings back memories. Thanks.
It does and I do, I didn't mention every checklist item in the audio, it goes by so fast forgot to mention some things that I do. I use the Checkmate version of the checklist. Now that being said, the trim on this aircraft almost never moved or moves barely.
He mentions it at 5:56
great job. I would LOVE to have a nice 152 ..... IFR equipped
thank you!

Yep, even though it was daylight, was doing it to illuminate the PAPI lights.
Great work.
thank you
Thank you...:)

Wow! Thnx
Nice airplane. I only have 228 hours in a 150 / 152.
thank you
228 is a lot of hours! at least to me it is! I'm lucky if I can get 50 in a year.
Whats the app you used called? 3:50
ForeFlight
Nice for takeoff
thanks
Enjoyed your video. KBEH & C20
thank you!
What is the highest tu/vous will fly?
I'm sorry, Im not sure what tu/vous is?
I have some 6000 hours in Cessna 152, another 4000 in Cessna 172, 500 hours in Cessna 150, mostly instructional
That is a LOT of ours in a 152!
I got my license in a Cessna 150. A year later the 152 came out
What does doing a runup mean? Obviously i dont know anything about airplanes.
its a brief test of the engine and systems prior to take off
@@falconflying1145 Do you run the rpms up high to sorta listen to the engine? I imagined a runup would be going down the runway real fast just to see how its running.
@@trent3872 yes there are a bunch of things done during run up. you do not go barreling down the runway, thats a great way to die.
👍
Was doing this with my father at age 10....
@@Trokee miss those days....
ADS-B app for your phone?
Foreflight on my phone connects to the Wifi on my transponder. The transponder sends the data to Foreflight and I can track traffic with ADS-B out.
The first decision one has to make in flying a 152 is determining if you can fit into it.
Yes, its not great, I can take very few of my friends and family flying with , basically only the females under 160 lbs
