What should my approach speed be?
Most aircraft flight manuals recommend a speed. However, if your manufacturer doesn’t list a final speed in their flight manual, the FAA recommends that you fly 1.3 x Vso (stall speed in a landing configuration). For a couple examples, the C172S POH recommends 60-70 knots with full flaps for a final approach speed.
What are the V speeds for a Cessna 152?
Cards
| Term Vx (Best Angle of Climb) | Definition 54 KIAS with flaps 55 without |
|---|---|
| Term Vne | Definition 149 KIAS |

| Term Vs- Stall Speed | Definition 40 KIAS |
| Term Vso- Minimum flight speed in landing | Definition 35 KIAS |
What flaps setting for takeoff?
4) Takeoff flap settings typically vary between 5-15 degrees. Aircraft use takeoff flap settings that are usually between 5-15 degrees (most jets use leading edge slats as well). That’s quite a bit different than landing, when aircraft typically use 25-40 degrees of flaps.
What is the maximum flaps speed?
Represented by the top of the white arc on the airspeed indicator, VFE is the maximum flap extended speed. If you allow your airspeed to increase above VFE with flaps extended, you may damage or even lose one or both flaps.
What is minimum approach speed?
The typical speed used to regulate traffic in approach control is 220 KIAS (IAS expressed in kt) since most aircraft (except general aviation) can safely maintain it. The main advantages of this 220KIAS speed are: For most aircraft the minimum clean speed (flaps and slats retracted) is lower than or equal to 220 KIAS.
What is VS0 speed?
VS0 means the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration. VS1 means the stalling speed or the minimum steady flight speed obtained in a specific configuration. VSR means reference stall speed. VSRO means reference stall speed in the landing configuration.
What type of engine does a Cessna 152 have?
Lycoming O-235
Cessna 152/Engine types
The engine is a Lycoming Model O-235-L2C and is rated at 110 hp. Fuel is supplied to the engine from two 13 gallon tanks, one in each wing.
What kind of fuel does a Cessna 152 use?
Fuel System Fuel: Approved Grades 100LL (blue), 100 (green) Total Fuel 26.0 Gal. Total Usable 24.5 Gal. System Description: The airplane is equipped with a standard fuel system consisting of two vented fuel tanks, a fuel shutoff valve, fuel strainer, manual primer, and carburetor.
Can a 737 take-off without flaps?
7 Answers. Yes take-off without flaps is possible.
What is the never exceed speed?
VNE is defined on Page 10-17 of the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge as “the speed which should never be exceeded. If flight is attempted above this speed, structural damage or structural failure may result.”
Which is the landing flap on a Cessna 152?
By definition, Vso is in the landing configuration (depending upon who you ask, Vs1 is either clean, or in whatever configuration you’re flying at the time). Regarding speeds – the C152 POH says 60-70kts flaps up, 55-65kts flaps down.
What’s the speed limit on a Cessna 152?
C-152 to get 1500 you need to reduce to 1600 (similar to C-172’s 1700). At altitude and imaginary numbers, power to 1600, hold altitude and heading until reaching 60 knots. Now quickly trim for hands-off but be sure to keep track of how much is required.
How to calibrate a Cessna 152 pilotfriend?
Calibrating C-152 trim C-152 to get 1500 you need to reduce to 1600 (similar to C-172’s 1700). At altitude and imaginary numbers, power to 1600, hold altitude and heading until reaching 60 knots. Now quickly trim for hands-off but be sure to keep track of how much is required.
What should the Kia be on a Cessna 152?
At 54 KIAS, the nose of the aircraft is raised smoothly and quickly to Vx pitch attitude – maintain 54 KIAS. Establish normal climb 70-80 KIAS and retract the flaps. Since the Vy speed will vary with weight, it might be better to use the lower 70 KIAS when solo and 80 with two aboard.
