AnthG87 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Starting decent from 9500 into Hobart in class CHARLIE airspace... Theres a break in the cloud lets go through there...No violation of VMC at all... \ This cloud is starting to look scary and its getting dark...We may have to request a flight plan upgrade to IFR..."Hobart Tower Bravo,Alpha,Foxtrot request special VFR" Take time to admire the sunset... Hobart Tower,C172 Bravo,Alpha,Foxtrot request IFR flightplan upgrade... Bravo Alpha Foxtrot maintain 3000ft,report established on localiser,cleared for ILS RWY 12 approach,confirm QNH 1008.

Adam Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Nice shots. but why would you fly a c172 at 9,500 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yallu Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Nice shots. but why would you fly a c172 at 9,500 feet. Because using extra oxygen below that would not be needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthG87 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 It was actually a flight from King Island to Hobart,which is a fair way for a little 172 and being higher increases the range of the aeroplane.With the mixture leaned to the correct fuel:air ratio (i think its 5:1) due to the fact that there are less molecules of air for a given parcel of air, the aircraft engine uses less fuel because there is less air, hence range is increased.Also at higher altitudes, the aircraft must have a faster True Airspeed (TAS) for a given Indicated Airspeed (IAS) thereby increasing range.Finally, I like to be as high as possible on over-water flights incase the engine quits!! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennyson Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Personally guys, I don't give a toss whether it's a 172 or a Cheiftan, those are some really good pics. I especially like that first one, mate. It's a ripper! Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly a C172S Sorry mate.Didn't mean to insult your intelligence. I fly the 172RG Cutlass...Oldie but a goodie. Happy flying ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaveenB Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Your clouds are insane, If I set up clouds like that my system would slow to a halt and then run out of the room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
