Cessna 172S Take-Off Procedures & Briefing

This video demonstrates the procedures for a normal take-off on the Cessna 172S - starting with the briefing and finishing with the after take-off checklist!

Note: The procedures depicted are for a typical, basic VFR flight using my school's procedures - the video was filmed during an IFR departure however, so there are slight discrepancies.

Thanks for watching, and if you have any feedback or questions, just let me know!

In addition to the after take off checklist, it will be useful to recheck all indicators for situational awareness.

We use before takeoff briefs. the "watts Briefing" W- weather - A- ATC- T- threats- T- terrain- S- Strategy for takeoff and our emergency procedure regarding engine failure on the takeoff phase of flight.

Informative! I'm slightly confused in the briefing section. Is it slight wind from the left or right. I would have thought 260 is to the right of runway 31?

hello would you keep the taxi light on when taking off because ive been getting very mixed responses where as most checklists are very vauge thank you

I'm new to aviation, sorry for the silly question, but he seems to be using the trim to lift off. Is that normal? On top of that, it's a bit counter intuitive to me. Trimming up is suppose to push the nose down, but the airplane manages to lift off somehow. What am I missing?

On the pre-takeoff brief for engine failure above 500’ he says to do a 180 turn back to runway for landing in the opposite direction. That’s a deadly turn and should never be attempted unless 1000’ or greater. At low level and no power you are turning down wind and more likely to stall the inboard wing and spiral in (impossible turn). Set glide speed then evaluate decent rate and distance. At 500’ to 1000’ you are more
likely walk away in a controlled off airport landing than attempt an impossible turn and die trying. Stay safe!

The briefing suggests it is important to talk to atc before securing the aircraft for a crash landing. Very questionable.

It being fuel injected is next level weird to me.
