I can’t believe this is what new students get to use in regards to technology. Probably why 1500 hour CFIs do pretty well in regional new hire training.
I am currently training in a C172S with a g1000nxi. I feel spoiled. Almost guilty. Like I almost don't really want to fly something that is only steam gauges.
I think glass is really cool. When I learned it was so much more expensive to fly the 172s with the G430 so I stuck with the 152 and piper cub since they were cheap. I can’t imagine how much it costs now to go through training.
Geez, if you're practicing slow flight, that IAS you're holding is a helluva lot slower than what we do at my school. Usually, we just hold 55 (or maybe 60, it's been a while) with full flaps out, and we're in the 172N.
Always got a kick out of doing this in a Warrior. Coaxing it to get slow enough so AOA was right where thrust and drag were equal and rudder it thru 180 degree turns into and then downwind. Adjusting throttle to maintain altitude. Fun stuff.
Ever gone backwards?
I have. It’s a trippy feeling seeing the ground creep forwards.
I learned to fly airplanes in Kansas. In a C-150, you were wasting time trying to fly westbound most days.
Does going backwards in a glider count?
i wish lol
Once or twice in a Tomahawk, it's pretty neat watching the ground going the other way!
Yep, many times…and sidewards too. Helis rock 👍

Nice! Also, I haven’t seen a KLN navigator in long time. Used an 89B way back in the before times. You’re still able to keep it updated?

I’m currently doing my PPL and the planes (PA28 Archers and Warriors) I fly have nowhere near this amount of tech. Steam gauges all around for me.

This was just us seeing how slow we could get, we typically practice around 55 ias
I have actually gone backwards about Two knots on slow flight. (48kts gusts)
I fly a C172m
I can hear the stall horn from here.
Stall speed below 42 kts, that plane is impressive af
I cruise at 43kts guess what I fly
I got a C172 to 190kt level at 2000 ft thanks to a hefty tailwind.
"L.A. Center, Cessna November Alpha Tango. You got a groundspeed readout for us?" 😏
holy.
My PA28 high score is 192kt on a day I probably shouldn’t have been flying
[удалено]
nice B-)
I’ve ridden my bike faster than that - uphill!
It's a Garmin g3x, right?
G5 i believe
When I was a kid I turned the wind speed all the way up on MSFS and hovered a 747 about 10' off the ground

Keep trying, you can get them flying backwards. Nice work tho. ;)
Not bad.
Lowest I did was 3kts on a Robin DR401
Gosh I’ve taxied faster than that !
And the CAS was?
