  • This is how we do a preflight inspection of our Cessna 172.
    Here is my list of recommended things to purchase if you are just getting started flying. Regardless of where you learn to fly, it is good to have these on hand. The FAA manuals can be downloaded for free but I still prefer to have a printed copy. In addition to the FAA material, I recommend you check out the below items from Aviation Ally. Their training aids break down complex topics into easy-to-understand language, making aviation accessible to all. I have personally used all of these materials and believe they can help you.
    Aviation Ally:
    Private Pilot VFR Checkride Q&A amzn.to/47a7tmx
    Private Pilot VFR Flashcards for Oral Checkride Preparation amzn.to/3utgHvx
    So You Want to be a Private Pilot amzn.to/47ykOoq
    FAA:
    AIRPLANE FLYING HANDBOOK amzn.to/3WmsIfi
    PILOTS HANDBOOK OF AERONAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE amzn.to/37XxsE2
    FAR/AIM amzn.to/3vkXsln
    PILOT LOGBOOK I recommend if just getting started: amzn.to/3zOxfxi
    and also download pdf versions for free from the FAA here:

    Here is an online ground school I often recommend for a home-study course:

      Thank you, it’s over 40 years old, but we have put a lot into it to keep it feeling new. Thx for watching.

    This is a GREAT walkthrough. I have my private cert and nobody has ever gone through this level of walkthrough before. Thanks for sharing! Also, what a beautiful 172!

    Appreciate you speaking slowly, thank you! Plane and hanger are beautiful. Hope there are more videos with interior preflight/run up

      Hi Jessica, thank you for watching. Stay tuned for more I’ll try to get one like you are requesting in the near future.

    I like to check the fuel first before the walkaround incase I need to get some more, also, that is a VERY nice plane. WOW

    As an add on, it would be good while you have power applied to turn on Pitot Heat and verify the Pitot Tune does indeed warm up by feel. Doesn't have to be on long, just enough you can feel it. Great video!

    I have not flown in a while but I used to always check the tanks for water by a sample into a clear cup.

    I really like your presentation, The step-by-step walkthrough enhances understanding, making it an excellent resource for both novice and experienced pilots. My question is,
    What additional tips or variations would you recommend for a pre-flight inspection in specific weather conditions or unique flying environments?

    • @FreedomFlight1
      @FreedomFlight1  9 месяцев назад

      Hey thanks for watching. As far as the "pre-flight inspection" and adverse weather....if flying in the clouds I would always check that my pitot heat is working as well as I like to check the defroster in the cockpit during the engine run up. Of course, a very good understanding of the weather for your flight, the forecast, and always have a back up plan. If I find myself having to fly into a unique environment that I have not been in before I try to study every aspect I can of the area especially the terrain. I've found myself looking at Google Earth to better understand the terrain as well as watching previous flights on FlightRadar24 to better understand traffic flows. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

    What’s the name of the device you used to check the stall warning.

    • @FreedomFlight1
      @FreedomFlight1  Год назад +1

      It’s just a stall warning horn tester I found at Sportys. Here’s a link to what I bought…

    A pre flight is just that.. A pre flight. Not an annual.

    • @FreedomFlight1
      @FreedomFlight1  Год назад +3

      Ha, true. If you can’t preflight a Cessna in less than 10 min you’re probably digging a little too deep. Assuming the thing hasn’t been sitting in a barn for years.

    Are tire witness marks a required check?

    • @FreedomFlight1
      @FreedomFlight1  Год назад +1

      Sorry Jabari, can you re-state your question?

    • @JabariHunt
      @JabariHunt Год назад

      @@FreedomFlight1 Yep, I'm referring to the circular marks on the tires that line up with the tire stem that let you know if/when the tire slips. It's on the pre-flight checklist for the school I selected, but I haven't seen people check them on RUclips. I was just curious to know if it's a required check.

    • @FreedomFlight1
      @FreedomFlight1  Год назад +1

      Ahh yes! Now I know what you are talking about. Thats actually great (and interesting) that your school has you check that. That dot, usually red or yellow, if put there by the tire manufacturer for the mechanic to line up the tire stem with it when installing a new tube. True, it is possible the tire could shift a little over time, I'd imagine if the brakes get locked up or maybe the pressure getting too low, etc. Technically, it is not something that Cessna states that the pilot needs to check on every preflight but its probably a good idea! Thanks for asking.

      Avitech in Denton, TX. They did a great job and I highly recommend.
