How to fly the Cessna 172 - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

good morning everyone welcome to lafayette regional airport in southern louisiana this morning we're going to be taking this beautiful cesta 172 november 65752 for uh some pattern work here so in the real world this 172 uh belongs to a flight school that's actually based out of this airport and uh i've flown it a number of times uh throughout my short career so let's uh jump into it shall we is this her cockpit let's see what we got going on here all right we'll get the master on fuel quantity is good stick that in mixture should be out put the flaps down if it was night we'd be checking the lights but we're not going to do that since it's not nighttime okay circuit breakers are in everything looks good avionics off turn the master off and at this point we'd go outside and do the walk around so we check uh fuel tanks make sure we have fuel come around here make sure the flaps are working check the ailerons the rudder and the elevator check the empanadas the wheels make sure the brake lines look good check the oil sump the tanks uh check the pitot tube make sure nothing's blocking that what's going on man and uh let's hop back in the airplane and say it looks good i wish there was an option to get rid of these people here it's really quite annoying to be honest uh but i haven't found an option to get rid of the ground crew because we don't need a ground crew here in 172. all right let's go ahead and uh start her up all right let's get on the beacon right clear right clear left we'll just pretend he's not there we're gonna go we're gonna prime the engine so mixture fuel pump here's the rise in the fuel flow cut cut it off fuel pump out all right let's start her up correct throttle mr rich call clear pop prop there you go i set the parking brake from the avionics ground cessna november 6575 to requesting pushback i actually don't need this number two push back [Music] received sorry about that that was settings from a different flight an airplane going out right there that's cool all right so everything looks good temps and pressures coming up amps looking good and that everything is looking quite solid there all right so we'll go to clearance and remain in the pattern with uniform request taxi for takeoff touch and go november 657 and hold short of runway four right taxiing holds short runway four right using tax away before cross runway two-niner cross runway four left alpha cessna seven five two there we go all right all right clear to the left clear to the right looks like yep we'll pretend he's not there we will go around see you all right so i'm not sure if the taxi instructions are the most correct thing in the world i know uh whenever i did some flights at other we're airports right at all that's cool but we make do so far uh i'm really liking this uh this sim it's it's much better than what i'm used to i was really a fan of x-plane 11 before this uh sim came out but just out of the box this just below is explained out of the water in my opinion all right coming up to runway one one two niner clear right and clear left and we have clearance across so we're gonna go across the bars across the runway and actually in real life this runway actually has no markings like you see here i was very impressed whenever i saw that because that's exactly how it should look i'm glad it looks like that so actually in the real world i used to work at these hangars right here it's a uh private private position caution the departing generic strange way to put that but okay for that hold position one thing we've got to do is check the weather so i'll just set this to the airport elevation and we'll get the tower frequency set to standby of 18 5. thank you roger cessna 752 okay this is four left but we're going to four right across cd traffic and that airplane's gonna roll also i wish that there wasn't the random lights in the middle of the taxiway i thought that's something that they could have fixed in this uh this sim but who knows because i know x-plane suffers with the same exact problem but take what we can get i guess so we're going to pull up into this run-up area on the right here and do our run up and then do our checklist and we'll tell the tower we are ready to go the ones calm here so there's no wind to really put our nose into here set the break makes your full rich [Music] 1700 rpm good drop back to both left drop back to both the idol looks good here we go clear left right we're on lafayette tower 18-5 so we'll call him up and we're ready to go sounds good cleared for takeoff runway 4 right cessna 752 get our strobe light on alright this is four right heels down the floor engines in the green rotate very nice leg now too aggressive there so just hurt down so trim the airplane out see right a thousand feet out that downwind there we go here we are beam the numbers hold power back keep our nose up we're in the white arc flaps first notch 10 degrees we're gonna turn bass a little bit more power around 1700 rpm should do right now there we go hey we're looking good we're gonna add let's take a notch of collapse there's our runway we are clear for the option sorry clear touch and go okay we're gonna make this turn i wish i had a track ir system to move my head because it's a little bit awkward using a mouse but we're on final we're gonna go flaps full okay speed is looking good the altitude's looking good we're cleared for the touch and go some little fast pull the power back keep it coming down keep her coming down slightly high speeds looking good i'm gonna touch down about 60. still bringing the power back still bringing the power back i'm going to go idle raise that nose slightly there it is re-center that take off trim there we go rotate see if i get the next one uh smoother because that was a little rough but i think this next one's going to be a full stop drop the nose there we go so so to land to thank you sir clear to land runway 4 right cessna 752 and the white arc we go flaps one a little fast flaps 20 degrees second notch pretty fast overshot a little bit hey flops are full now speed's looking good slightly high it's got to get lined up now it's a little fast just like that you actually left on bravo after we cross over this right yes sir taking the left onto bravo november six five seven five to taxi to parking november taxi to general aviation parking using tax away bravo cross runway four left bravo taxiing to general aviation parking via tax away bravo cross runway for left bravo cessna 752 there it is and we're going to take it right here because it's shorter i'm not sure if this is actually bravo but that's where we're gonna go and we're gonna go taxi to signature since that's the fbo here in lafayette shut her down i'm just going to take one of these uh these tie down spots here this one looks good there we go all right that's the airplane shut down we'll go and hop outside there we are all right everybody hope you enjoyed that short flight in the 172. hopefully i can see you on board another flight of mine thanks
