Nice post! Although, typically you would have flaps 30 degrees (F) for landing.

It would be flaps 10 for soft field takeoff

6

It would be amazing if a staff member does that

7

It usually makes it stall in my opinion, you usually have to lift off at 80 knts if with flap 10 to avoid stalling

8

Flaps add more lift, though…? Yes, speeding up will be more difficult but it should, in theory, make taking off easier.

Well from my experience i usually have more problems in flaps specially in the part when the plane starts to skid

10

Great guide! love flying from Paulo Alto to Half Moon Bay 15 min flight if that but really fun.

11

Yeah! I love flying around using the instruments rather than the panels or the ui and it feels realistic and fun.

How come the turn coordinator, attitude indicator, and tachometer aren’t getting any love?

15

The plane shouldn’t be skidding. If this happens then you are probably missing a crosswind correction. As for the flaps, that is directly from the c172 POH

16

I said basic instruments to help fly for beginners
And you can understand what a turn cordinator is just by reading it

Yes it skids even with the slightest of velocity winda

18

I heard from real pilots that they usually take off with 0 flaps

please switch this topic to the Community Tutorials category.

also, you can change the category itself. it is the job of @moderators to ensure the topic is appropriate for this category though.

just helping!
