Best plane for....
While perusing the "flight school" in FS'04 a thought struck me and
since this is a rarew happenstance I thought I should follow through on it. I realized that I had made an ASS out of myself and ASSumed that the plane used in the program (172) was the best aircraft to learn in. Is this true? Is the 172 the best aircraft to learn the art of powered flight including the return to Terra sans insurance claims? Thought I'd post this in some other forums to see what Kind of response data popped up. __________________________________________________ _____ Message posted via the Flight Simulation Forums at www.simradar.com SimRadar.com - Search Engine, Downloads, Videos, News and more |

If you don't have a 152 I'd use the C-172. It's a good stable airplane
without a lot of complex systems so if you're trying to learn to fly start with it. If you know how to fly try the C182 which has prop control to add to the mix. sgmkevin wrote: While perusing the "flight school" in FS'04 a thought struck me and since this is a rarew happenstance I thought I should follow through on it.

I learned to fly in 150/152 and the Piper equivalent, and think the 172 is a better trainer than any of them. -- Scott -------- |
