Cessna 172R from Telluride to Aspen

: Viperdoc writes: Are you referring to a real airplane or simulated flight with MSFS? I'm asking about real airplanes, subsequent to a simulated flight with the same aircraft that ended tragically just a few minutes ago, probably due to icing, although I'm not sure. I tried the flight as an experiment to see if it was possible, and I'd like to know from pilots of the real aircraft whether or not it would be possible or safe to attempt it in real life. Weather at Aspen was low IFR so I had planned to divert to Garfield County, but I lost control of the aircraft about 20 miles southeast at 12500 feet and impacted terrain. Wow. Our resident ace pilot can't even fly a 172 on his simulator! I wonder who give him directions on how to pee. |

: You didn't include the area forecast and any sigmets or airmets. What is the climb rate in a 172 for the given W/B at the temperature and altitude you mentioned? Do you really expect MXSMORON to do any sort of flight planning? His concept of pre-flight checks is to make sure his computer is plugged in and then hit power on. He doesn't even know that he should kick the tires before he lights the fires. |

When are you going to get yours going? Any vices I should be warned about? Cheers |

When are you going to get yours going? Any vices I should be warned about? Should be flying in about three more weeks or so. The airplane itself is pretty easy to fly as an airplane. If you haven't flown any old tailwheel airplanes or gliders you will have to wake your feet up a bit just for the normal manuevering. It's pretty much a textbook airplane, though. If he doesn't say it to you , be as smooth as you can in everything you do. that doesn't neccesarily mean slow, but you'll always get more performance if you're smooth. Bertie |

Do you know the answer to my question or not? You shouldn't need radar tracks or a FDR just to reply. It's still light outside ... I think I'll try it in the Baron, although I'm pretty sure that it will be easy in that aircraft, if the weather isn't too bad. |
