C172? How high/low do you have the seat adjusted and do you remember to
always set the same seat height each time you fly?

As far as I know, the 172 I fly does not have a seat height adjustment.
Only back and forth. So, yes, it's always set at the same height. I'll
check the POH when I get home tonight and see if I've just missed this
adjustment. For me, it dosen't seem a problem, I can see and land fine.
I just sit "tall in the saddle" so to speak.

In another plane (Piper Cub, for instance) it would be _very_
different. I've talked to my dad (who learned in a Cub) and flown it in
MS FS. _No_ visibility out the front unless the tail is up.
