Overtaking in the circuit????

[Tomo]

Cessna's an big circuits... wonder why?

 

The other day I was flying smaller circuits in the 172 than I do in the Jab, as the 172 will descend a lot quicker with that flap, whereas the Jab full flap still glides relatively well.

G'day Dave,

 

The one I was circuit bashing in was the old barn door type, with 40 flap. Mind you I was generally only using 30 flap on most landings. I did use 40 on a few, but you'd have to make the circuit even smaller!

 

I'll be concentrating on short fielders and stuff next time, so that will be fun.

 

Yes, my (Aviation mechanical) Boss has a C170, neighbour has a 182, and I'll be using a friends 206 for the Nav's or whatever. Also know a guy who has a 180 that I'm gonna wing a ride in some time.

 

Can't wait to try on some more...

 

Ps. My Mum's uncle (my great uncle? ) is looking at getting a C195, check them out, not bad at all.
