Cessna 172 Startup

[aryanb]

So this is not the actual preflight, I just did everything to record it. As you can see later in the video I was not the PIC(Pilot in Command) of the flight, the pic later did the whole preflight again before flying.

Remove pitot heat cover before you turn on the pitot heat makes cover last longer

Yeah yeah I have to do all that to start my lawnmower too.

I remember watching my dad do his preflight checks every time he would take me flying with him in his 172. He would take me and my friends every year for my birthday from 1980 to 86

[I-l-l-l-l-l]

That brings back memories. And that 172 is rough.

Such a classic.
The 172 is my favorite airplane of all time.

[wesmcgee]

Probably the most reliable single prop aircraft ever built.

बहुत सुंदर विमान, परिचालन और रख रखाव में सहज और सरल 👏👏👏।

Never heard you yell "CLEAR PROP". LOL

Just make sure to take the pitot cover off before turning on the pitot heat to check it. Plus you need it off to make sure the heating coils work.

Bro I check everything you did, plus this list above. It looks like a lot, but it's actually really fast and easy to do! Most of this is in your POH.

Waaaoooo... Qué chulo sonido de arranque del motor ❤❤❤

[davidbevins]

Those are some REALLY rusty tie down loops. You might wanna address that!

[Neo_tfs]

With almost all the certainty in the world, I say: the Cessna 172 will fly for another 70 years

[ANDunn-tfxp]

I miss flying with my moms ex.
Those planes are awesome!
Piper Cubs are sweet too.

Love that sound of the engine turning over

[keithphelps]

Just a very cool video. You are so lucky to be able to fly

[erzahler]

The 172 is a nice, little airplane. I once knew a couple of airline pilots who each had one. Both said the 172 was easy to fly.

Gostei muito do vídeo bem objetivo e satisfatório.

The ignition keys should be placed on the dash where you can see them when you're doing the walk around, so you'll know they're not in the ignition switch and mags turned on. Safety first!!
