Aerobatics in a Cessna!

#aerobatics #aerobat #cessna
This was a flight I’ve been waiting to do my whole life; an aerobatic ride in a 1975 Cessna 150 Aerobat!
These planes are becoming rare, and a chance to do some aerobatics in one was an opportunity of a lifetime. It almost felt wrong to do loops and rolls in a 150…

Couple points: I’ve been saying Cessna wrong my whole life and now thanks to my viewers I am fully aware of that haha. (My parents both speak Spanish so I guess I learned inaccurate pronunciations of a few words) Also this was not a training flight, I was only along for the ride. The PIC is a great CFI and when it came to the aerobatics he was in control 100% of the time. Thanks everyone for watching!

[@ashsmitty2244]

FloridaFlying I says,nah. Keep saying cezzna!

[@jamesm.taylor6928]

Oh i know it wasnt a training flight. I was trying to encourage all pilots to go to get some aerobatic training. It makes you a FAR better and far far more precise pilot. The qualities you learn as just run of the mill skill flying aerobatics could easily dave your own and passengers life somewhere down the road.. I would imagine you can see how that would be after your flight. Go do another one of those though and get him to do some Split Ses and Chandells maybe a hammerhead or two..Theyre really really fun. I forget the G limit for the 150 but im sure if it can handle a snap roll it can do split s and chandells im sure tgey are about tge same g load. I wouldnt recommend anything getting into the five or six gee neighborhoods. You have to have a love of flight for those. Anyone who didnt really love it would hate pulling gee loads as high as those because having your lips peeled back over your head and your face and scalp popping off the back sounds like it might be a plesant sensation then maybe you would like it lol. Seriously though at high gee your mouth gets all pulled back and it feels like that really. I dont think your face muscles would have the strength to push your lips back togather if they initally were seperated and pulled back like that . i clench mine and i think it works to hold them togather but dont know as ive never seen a pic of myself pulling high gee and my concentration is elsewhere. Anyway not trying to make fun or run you down..im a perfectionist with slight ocd--thats why it kills me its like sandpaper on my brain...lol so i comment on things like that. Sometimes gets people pissed and if ive done that appoligies. Actually trying to help Just discovered ur chan though and going to subscribe and liked the vid

[@CrayonboxAviationAdventures]

Wow, NOW THAT brings back memories. When I was about 16, I rode a pushbike to my nearest airport 20 kms from home (in Hamilton, New Zealand) to watch the planes - as you do. A guy was preflighting a Cessna 150 Aerobat. We chatted, and he said you want to come flying (this is back in 1982). I said YES! And then he told me we would do some aerobatics.......... yeah....ok...... I did not know what to expect was but ok with it - I was going flying! Off we went - unfortunately I don't remember too much except the aerobatics. 3 rolls, 3 lops and a 3.5 rotation spin. We then landed at his farmer friends property - up a hillside grass runway. Had a chat and a rest and returned to the airport One of the best days of my life. I wasn't sick, but as the farmer pointed out - I was green ;-) I don't remember any of the pushbike ride home - I was buzzing with excitement to tell everyone what I had done. Today as you can see from my youtube channel - I fly trikes in Australia. Aviation fulfillment! And - Thank you for your video!

[@FloridaFlying]

So cool! I'm glad you had that experience! My first paragliding flight was as a tandem passenger. I didn't realize at the time that my instructor was an acro pilot, and I had no idea those things could actually go upside down. We got into some pretty extreme wingovers and it was such a thrill. Yeah, I was hooked.

I once gave a friend of mine an instrument currency eval in an Aerobat. Under the hood, I gave him an unusual attitude recovery that was pretty much a barrel roll! Fun!

[@crooked-halo]

You were flying an IFR-certified Aerobat? I thought the 150/152 was not certifiable for IFR flight? I could be wrong, though.

[@wcate8301]

ik04, mother nature gave me an instrument competency check "pop quiz" at night in a T34 when neither I nor the airplane was IFR certified. Crescent moon night, 2500 ft above SCT -> BKN clouds, and suddenly my nav and beacon lights were reflecting back at me and no visible horizon. I failed THAT checkride, coming out of the cloudbase at 1,000 MSL in a high speed, high G spiral, gyros all tumbled. Thank God for a 9G airplane, or I would have pulled a "JFK Jr". G meter recorded 7+, and I saw my nav light reflections in the water pulling out.

[@desertdenizen6428]

As an owner of Cessna 150 many years ago, most of my practice time was spent trying to not do aerobatics! If I remember correctly, the Aerobat door hinges had removable inside pins to release the doors in flight to allow easier use of parachutes.

[@GlamazonBarbie]

Nice video! I learned aerobatics in a Super Decathlon, then I bought an Extra when I moved up to Advanced and Unlimited, but there's something so fun about flying a 152 Aerobat. It's a simple pleasure to just go up and mess around in a plane you think can't do what you're making it do. Thanks for sharing this video. It brought back happy memories.

[@otiebrown9999]

I did it! Enjoyable! Only way you are a competent pilot. Saved my life! Thank you!

[@scottpecora371]

I can't help but think how many new pilots would still be with us if basic acrobatics was part of a private pilots license. Where a young pilot recognizes a pending stall or spin and recognizes and safely maneuvers avoiding the situation. Or simply how much more confidence a low time pilots has in a fuller range of flying instead of getting into a dangerous situation without either recognizing or knowing how to safely recover.

[@galehess6676]

Panic vs Play

[@igclapp]

I think the FAA stopped requiring spin training for the PPL because more people were getting killed in spin training than in accidental spins. I did spin training in a standard Cessna 152 for my PPL and it was pretty terrifying.

[@scottpecora371]

@igclapp I loved it. My father, who retired with over 36,000 hrs, off NorthWest, went up with me, and we did 14 stalls-spin-recoveries. Also, lazy eights, accelerated stalls. Fear was replaced with understanding and confidence.

[@andrewwalker9368]

I have been looking for a good video of the aerobat for awhile.....finally found it! Thank you!

[@pilot3016]

I learned much from my Glider (sailplane) rating. I learned tons about weather, mountain flying, and stick and rudder skills. This aircraft also has wing struts off a 172.

[@ethanlamoureux5306]

LOL @ Cezzna First time I saw the word, I think I was 9, I said “Kessna” and my dad immediately corrected me. Good thing he knew how to say it! One day I went to the airport to take a lesson, fairly early in my training. Happened to be the day another student did his first solo. They had cake to celebrate. Then we went up and practiced stalls. Turns out that cake + stalls didn’t sit well with my instructor. I had to take over while he turned green! Fun times.

[@Matt-mo8sl]

Looks like a whole lotta fun !! The 150 Aero is a great little plane to toss around!

[@thonatim5321]

Ahh the memories. I did my training in a C152. My first flight sitting left seat, my instructor put us in a spin and told me how to recover. I followed his instructions but left a stain on the seat.

[@rc040664]

I was fortunate that the FBO back in the 80's rented a 152 aerobat, and that there was a qualified aerobatic instructor. We did just about everything you could do with the limited horsepower and no inverted fuel and oil. Inverted flight was done by rolling inverted and gliding down a 1000 feet then rolling upright and restarting. The most miserable maneuver for me was the English Bunt which was also done with no power. It was amazing how fast it snapped to the left compared to the snap roll to the right. Great memories were made. Thanks for the video.

[@fr8fr6dr69]

C-150A was my first aerobatic aircraft experience, followed shortly thereafter by the Pitts S-2B then later the F-16. It makes a nice aerobatic aircraft, only downfall is climb performance, so after an altitude-losing maneuver like a split-S or spin it takes a bit to climb back to altitude for more fun. I learned a great C-150A spin-entry technique from my instructor to get a good, sharp over-the-top spin entry every time (rather than simply mushing nose-down into the spin.) Approx. 5 to 10 knots above stall speed, rapidly snatch the remaining stick back into your lap as you stuff the rudder - the nose comes up and the spin entry is always over the top every time rather than nose-low. On the loop in this video, they bump into their own wake, meaning the loop was pulled off nicely. It is the same in every aircraft, even on the T-38A and AT-38B I flew, we took 10,000' to scribe out a loop (e.g. start at 10K and 500 knots, apex at 20K, then finish back at 10,000' and 500 knots) - if it is nice and symmetrical, even when it is a 10,000' loop, you still hit your own wake at the bottom if done correctly.

[@sonnyburnett8725]

It’s kinda sad, put most pilot’s are not taught how to apply rudder at high airspeed and opposite rudder at low. Then as A/S drops over the top in a loop for example allow the airplane to fly over the top so from the ground it appears to actually scribe an arch, or loop.

[@dave2873]

[@mlane2012]

You guys are the smartest 2 people I've seen on KZbin flying planes. Pilots should take note. " Parachutes", just in case. This is what common sense looks like.

[@Pete_R63]

When I used to skydive a lot, one of our club pilots would read a Duane Cole aerobatic book at home and then after he dumped us out, he would practice aerobatics on the way down in our 182. He even barrel rolled the plane with a load of jumpers in it. Lots of times he gave us a bit of zero Gs. I did a back flip- or at least three-fourths of one inside the plane. We used to joke that our club pilots were frustrated fighter pilots. We had so much fun in the jump plane.

[@paulybassman7311]

My first flight ever in a plane back in 86' was in a 152 (G-TEES), i was 11 and my dad winked airside security to be asleep, and we stole the plane, i was so crapping myself . Then. It was full throttle and we were airbourne. (He did his PPL on the quiet)The penny dropped and i think i swore at dad, laughing so much after, it was all pre arranged lol. Great memories. Soon after i was up with dad and instructors doing ANC and performed first stall/spin recovery when i was 12... i did it perfect throttle back , carb heat, nose up, wait for the cat screach, pull it back hard and stick the boot in, the recovery was perfect too but id turned a shade of grey/green on my first one (maybe the pressure lol) that was in an old 150 i loved so much G- **LY . They are like a mini with wings , gorgeous planes with great visibility over tomahawks and cherokees , I flew them as well but a Cessna is so much better and fits.

[@hiawahtaoakes6480]

Really nice flying. A small suggestion, when reaching the top of the loop, releasing a bite of back pressure allows the aircraft to fly an almost perfect circle.

I know everyone loves to rag on 150's for gutless performance (and it's true) but as an RV-8 owner and professional airline pilot of 30 years I still think these CE-150's are pure fun! The control handling is light and honest for such a classic "small and cheap" training aircraft. Sure I prefer an aerobatic taildragger with a lot more power but the 150's are a joy to fly. The 150 opened up a lot of people to flying and the Aerobat got a lot of people to think about and try aerobatics that would not have otherwise. I mean, we are still flying! Enjoyed the video. Keep smiling and flying!

[@rogerkelley7924]

Back in the '80s, I did some of my primary Aerobatics in an old C-150, fun. I later got a Pitts S-1C, and did Competition Aerobatics. In that time frame, I watched Doc Harvey take that same 150, and do the IAC Primary Sequence. (A 45 Up Line, a Vertical Down Line with 1, and a half rolls, A Reverse Half Cuban Roll, Full Loop, 180 Aerobatic Turn, and a Full Roll.) Yep, that Airframe is still out there doing it's thing.

[@kennethcollins6418]

That's pretty trippy to see a Cessna 152 do a loop and a full aileron roll without over stressing the body or stalling the engine.

[@carlosparacio5679]

I used to do full aerobatics in not only an aerobat, but also normal 150s (utility cat). They can all do these maneuvers, but the aerobat is rated for it, and can take more g load. In a normal 150 you just need to watch to g loading, and speed with the control inputs.

[@cjanderson768]

As a "Rusty Pilot' who was trained in a Cherokee 140 , I never felt comfortable doing any of the stalls and turns. As one of my instructors told me . "There are those pilots who know their limits and test them and then there are pilots like "YOU" who know their limits AND GO NO WHERE NEAR THEM" . And , I want to add , that after landing after what seemed to be my "FOREVER" check ride , I was told " well your not the best pilots I've ever seen, but I'd have to say , your one of the safest, here is your private ticket , now go learn .

I did quite a bit of aerobatics in a Cessna 150 Aerobat. It was a blast. The main problem though was having to always dive to pick up enough speed to do simple aileron or barrel rolls, loops, etc.. In spins, the aircraft spins way faster than a lot of other aircraft. it's easy to get disoriented in a spin -- but that makes good practice.

[@vanderheijden1]

Beautiful video recordings, very nice video editing. Thanks to be part of this flight.

[@philipbrailey]

Still a great video. Thanks for posting.

[@MrCharlieCom]

I did a lot of C150 aerobatics way back when... In a 150 Aerobat, the aileron control wheel turns only 90 degrees on the ground, but when doing rolls in the air, the wheel turns a full 180 degrees. The 150 spins faster than most other aircraft. You have to lower your nose to gain enough speed to do loops and rolls, immelmann turns, etc. It was fun though....

[@avflyguy]

Pretty impressive. Have about 2 hours in one many years ago. IDK.. was always taught to begin entry in level flight. Nose down to get the speed, then briefly to level, then execute the maneuver (except a spin or snap roll (optional) of course).

[@FloridaFlying]

That’s probably a more proper way of entering the maneuvers. This wasn’t a training flight or anything, just having some fun. It sure takes a lot to get that 150 up to those air speeds haha

[@iflyc77]

The only time anyone cares about making them look pretty like that is for competitions or airshows. Plus, something like a 150 is going to lose a lot of energy during that one second level pause lol

[@ADAPTATION7]

I do aerobatics in a 150 Aerobat. My biggest peave is that it takes forever to buidup enough speed to attempt any of these manoeuvers except the snap roll. All the other manoeuvers require to buildup a speed of at least 115 knots. Immelmans require the most airspeed.

[@ohoto3896]

This is exactly what I wanted. Was walking my dog and wondered what would happen if you flew a cessna into thin air, stalled and spiraled down. The wings aren't made for it. Say if you gradually climbed in altitude, then killed the engine? Good job guys

[@annyer262]

I took my private checkride in 9801J a 150 aerobat. The DPE kept on restting the G meter and using it to rate the landing. The landing after the simulated engine fail was a bit hard but he said that was okay as the airplane was reusable afterwards and we were still alive!

[@umami0247]

I had a instructor that was into acrobatics and he would practice sometimes while teaching me to fly. We where in a Cessna 152 and though I enjoyed flying I wasn't to much into the loops and rolls and spins. I never complained he was a very good pilot and I never felt in danger. However he was also the morning traffic pilot for a local radio station and he did a loop with the traffic girl and well it didn't go well for him. You should have heard her scream and cuss on air it was classic.. Found out later these aircraft really aren't meant to do stunts so he broke the rules and lost his job. He did get a job flying business jets and kept stun flying to the Pitts he owned.

An Aircraft of that sort is good for entry type of aerobatics, and to the inexperienced, can lead to great problems. If an when the time comes, where you can ride in a real aerobatic airplane, it's night from day. All maneuvers are sharp and crisp, and much faster! My first tail wheeled aircraft was the Boeing Stearman three of us bought and learned to fly. Now that is an aerobatic airplane! I had the pleasure of flying two of them over twenty years, and learned plenty. With a plane like that, you don't have to worry if the wings will fly off, if you make a boo boo! We had a Citabria on the field, and two instructors used to fly it quite often. One dday it came back with the wing, rib stitching ripped out on the first five ribs, on either side. I'm pretty sure they exceeded the maximum airspeed,"going down hill" !They're lucky i6t held together, but it was realy close to coming apart! I had the luck to fly a Pitts Special, a Great Lakes (POS), and a few other bi-wing home built planes. If you really want to make yourself dizzy, do an inverted spin in a Stearman! Now that's dizzy! Good luck, Bob.

Daumn aerobatics in a cessna... I didn't think there was any out there.

Great to see that I always wanted to fly a Cessna 150 Aerobat when I first saw it actually in a Acrobatic Competition and if it had more power than what it was manufactured I would have a 150 HP with a constant speed prop and yes it would had more weight and more forward CG and my counter weight in the tail fuselage would have to be increased to equal out my useful weight but unfortunately I could get my altitude that I need to do my maneuvers more guicker and my airspeed indicator would have to be recalibrated to have the exact true ready ! The last time I did any Acrobatics was in a Super Decathlon and i did some spin training with my instructor . The one thing that happened to another student is they pull to many G loads and things can happen very fast to a Aircraft. Thank you for the great ride.

we had aerobatic 152 at our club pretty fun to be in i dont have an aerobatic rating but its awesome feeling for sure

[@rickysueltenfuss6125]

Awesome! Well filmed, narrated and executed..... More pilots should learn basic aero....

[@flyby1807]

Good old times. I learned on a Cessna, done all the manuvers you did include landing on ice lake bed. It's a great trainer too slow for me now.

[@thomasmcmanus6575]

Awesome video !Keep them coming please. 🛫😊🇺🇸👍

[@ohwell2790]

Always wanted to see this in a 150. Awsome video

[@phillipzx3754]

Back in the early 70's I used the 150 Aerobat to get my PPL. It was through an Army flying club while in AIT at Ft Gordon, Georgia. 5 bucks an hour, WET!

[@LeftCoastElectricSB]

Thanks for posting! Looks so awesome. Gonna go barf now. Say Cessna however you want.

[@gmcjetpilot]

I have a few 100 hours teaching students in an Aerobat.... pretty basic spins and aerobatics mostly for ratings. Of course spins are not required for private pilot, however CFI must do 3 spins left and 3 to right. I have since several aerobatic aircraft and progressed to advanced, but the Aerobatic 152 is pretty good for teaching the basics...

[@Leon-mo2pp]

Nice paint job on the Sezzna....

[@asaelflakito-yc4tj]

Amazing!!! Cheers from Mexico city Safe flight u guys

[@ronl6060]

there are no "Zs" in the name CESSNA!

[@solidwire]

R U sur!

[@erickwalker11]

Does it matter

[@monkeybearmax]

U can put a z in it too if u fly that well.

This brings me back. Good to see more private pilots interested in upset training. I recommend this for ALL aviators at some point. Where is the APA over Brevard County? Wouldnt happen to be out at West Palm Bay over the "compound" area would it? I see FIT students goofing off and brave souls rolling Barons out there once in a while. Beautiful Bat you guys got there! Cessna should re introduce the type to their lineup.

[@paularbic6633]

Thats the same type i learned to fly back in 1975, a cessna aerobat!

[@JSFGuy]

I went straight to the E300, marchetti 260. I recommend going on a full aerobatic profile in either Mesa Arizona or Vegas and that will show you what you're made of.

[@rothscliff6086]

Oh man I love the original version of ur background music

[@shawnmccrary5526]

I’ve done aileron rolls in several Cessna’s and Piper cubs but no loops. Spin recovery used to be taught to student pilots but there were too many fatality’s so only Instructors do spin training. Student pilots are taught how to exit a spin but in ground school. Standard Cessna 150 has a 100 horse engine. I believe some Aerobats have 150 horse. That makes flying fun.

[@pauleyplay]

nope all aerobats are 100

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Nice one, used to see it around here, not these day however. Shame, I would love to do all that, even just for a day!
