Short Flight in the Cessna 150

[@sfduve]

Loving your videos. Making me want a 150.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Thank you very much, and thank you for watching. The 150 is a lot of fun. Let us know if you decide to get one.

[@bestbeast7]

The airport I passed my PPL checkride at in 2021😎 also in a 150! Awesome video

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Small world. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@neilfoster9508]

A very nice video, beautiful scenery too. I've only ever piloted a 150 once, but I found it a very pleasant aircraft to fly, even for a fairly low hours pilot like myself.

[@storiesfromthedepthsofspac6413]

You do your preflight about like I do, only faster - LOL. Interestingly an A&P friend of mind accused me of doing an annual inspection instead of a preflight. I want to warn you about one thing though. The seat, I had one come loose on me one time flying out of Savanah, Georgia one time shortly after takeoff. Since then, I've made DAMN sure the seat was locked in right. Keep the greasy side down.

Thank you for letting us fly with you.

Enjoyed the ride, thanks for the shout out!

Wow that's awesome! I have my first discovery flight on Wednesday in a 1968 Cessna 150 so had to check out a C150 video and this was amazing! You got me to subscribe!😎🤙🔥

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Thank you for the sub, and I hope you have an awesome time. Where are you flying from?

i have an RC model of that plane and hope one day i'll be able to fly a scale one. have a safe fly.

[@aaronmatthews2889]

I’m a student pilot. I appreciate your checklists and overall attention to detail. Keep it up!

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Thank you.

[@adamflight1]

I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you for making it simple. I'm just getting started. And the way you did it made it to seem very natural.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Thank you for the nice comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.

Love those little birds! Fly on brother!

Loved the flight brings back memories i flew cessna 152 out of 15G wadsworth oh.

[@Joltfreek]

Good to see you flying again! Love the videos!

[@rictech1325]

Enjoyed very much.. merry Christmas.

[@swimbikeruntoday]

You should really consider flying to the Cessna 150 / 152 Fly-In next July in Clinton, Iowa. It's at KCWI.

[@keithhoward9238]

Great video

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

The airport beacon is on and rotating. in the day.

Hi! Just found your channel and really enjoyed this video, partly because I fly a C-150, also. Great editing. Thanks for sharing it!

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Thanks for the compliment. What model do you have, and where do you fly out of?

[@YamahaC7SRG]

@@justaboutaviation9343 J model (1969). I fly out of KDEW, Deer Park, which is just north of Spokane, WA. It's 17 degrees with 2" of snow on the ground this morning so I probably won't be flying for a while. I also have a Hummel UltraCruiser that I built with a friend over ten years ago. Happy New Year!

[@TheMrlandman]

Great pilot.The one you want to fly with.

[@davidbachman6531]

Thanks for the realism in your flights. (Including both pro's,con's). Also, why does a pilot say "airspeed is alive"??

[@justaboutaviation9343]

It's just a confirmation that that Guage is functioning properly.

[@johndonaldson5126]

Good video with good commentary. I hope to pilot a 150 in a few days.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Will this be your first time? Hope you have fun. Thank for the comment, and thanks for watching. Hope to have more out soon.

[@johndonaldson5126]

@@justaboutaviation9343 I've been training in an Aeronca Champ for almost a year. I finally took one lesson in a 172 in January. Then my friend took me flying in his Beechcraft Debonair twice and let me take the controls for a short while. Another friend is in a seven member club that owns the 150. He promised to take me flying soon. Any way I can get to fly in a GA is fine with me.

[@randy6108]

Thanks for the video! Out of curiosity, how do you get the mix of ambient noise and headset audio? I have a GoPro and when I plug the headset adapter in, the ambient mic cuts out.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

I use multiple cameras and just mix in the audio from one not plugged into the intercom. I turn down that volume in editing. I like to have it in the video to give an audio sense of where my throttle is set. Thanks for the question, and for watching.

[@randy6108]

@@justaboutaviation9343 Makes perfect sense! Nice job with it, too. If you don’t mind, what program do you use to edit?

[@justaboutaviation9343]

@@randy6108 I use free software VSDC. It take a bit to get used to, but there are a lot of tutorials.

[@stevenquinones9674]

How you connect your audio I have a go pro 5

[@justaboutaviation9343]

I use an adapter from the GoPro to the intercom system in the airplane. I also use a hero 5 to capture the audio. I got the cable from a company called NFlightCam.com

[@AvgDude]

Good vids.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Thank you.

[@stanleybest8833]

I wish more posters would mix their audio with plane and radio sound like you. Let the squelch open. Some radios have an RF gain to be set moderately. Please try a night video.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Glad you liked it. I filmed one night video, but it was too hard to see. Will try some different camera angles next time.

[@headfirst6227]

When your stomach goes gurgle right after liftoff and you’ve got to go right now.

[@travis8665]

You just poke your arse out the window.

[@sgringo]

Brings back memories; I was learning in a 152 back in the 90s. I quit before I got my license. I recall the best rate of climb was 67 knots. Is that still the case? I thought I heard you mention 70 as you were taking off.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Mine is in mph, and going by POH. Also I'm not sure if that's model depend. This is how my instructor showed me. Thanks for watching. Happy New year 🎉.

[@jrodri1538]

I have not flown since 1976. Instructor used to slap my hand if I steered after I touched down. He insisted just to use the rudders once on grown. I noticed you steered with yoke. Are airplanes different now?

[@justaboutaviation9343]

I suppose your instructor never discussed on the ground wind correction as to keep from getting flipped in high winds, or relieving nose wheel pressure by pulling back on the yoke. Different instructors. Different styles. Thanks for watching.

[@Estebanserrano96]

Really enjoyed this video. Just took a discovery flight a few weeks ago on a Cessna 172, and I have a few questions. How long have you been a pilot/flying? Do you own or rent the Cessna 150? What are the cost for hanger and tie downs in your area? Thanks for sharing! Thinking about taking lessons.

[@justaboutaviation9343]

I am still a student pilot. I still have to take the check ride before I'm done. I bought the 150 just a few months ago and totally love her. As far as hangar and tie downs, at my airport tie downs are $30 a month, and an open T hanger is around $165 if you can find one. I'm still on a wait list to get mine. I'm glad to hear about your discovery flight. I hope you enjoy it. Please check out some of my other videos. I did one on the prebuy inspection of the 150, a short one when I test flew her, and when I finally got to fly her home. Thanka for watching.

[@Estebanserrano96]

@@justaboutaviation9343 I've watched a few more of your videos and they are very good and informative. Congratulations on your purchase!

I want to buy a Cessna 150

[@FEPractice123]

Hi. Thank you for sharing! Question: around the 12.18 minute point of the video you turned to final and made the comment "that was awful". I assume you were referring to the alignment of the aircraft to Runway 21. Is this interpretation correct? Thanks!

[@justaboutaviation9343]

Yes, exactly. Luckily I had enough distance to correct gently. Thanks for watching.

[@randymoore6063]

All flights in a 150 are long, even around the pattern. Low and slow.
