What is the difference between Cessna 152 aircraft and Cessna 172 aircraft?
its pretty much the same just little bigger engine and sitting capacity up to 4 person in 172 where as 152 has only 2 seats. 172 carrys more fuel then 152. 172 has two types tank. one for long haul and other for short haul. otherwise these two planes has almost the same features. and very good aircraft for training. i did my PPL in 152's and IR in 172's milan, TX The Cessna 150 was introduced in 1957 modeled after the Cessna 140 tail dragger. It is mostly a training aircraft and has two seats. The last model was produced in 1985. The Cessna 172 is a 4 seat aircraft that looks like a bigger 150. It was introduced in 1955 and is still in production today.
On what principle does an altimeter of a Cessna 172 aircraft works?
The altimeter works by measuring minute changes in barometric pressure. Barometric pressure decreases as altitude increases, and altimeters are able to detect this change and use it to determine altitude. Barometric pressure is also effected by weather conditions, and so pilots must frequently adjusting the altimeter setting in order to compensate. Some new cessna 172's are being equipped with Garmin GPS cockpits which also get altitude information from GPS receivers, but these aircraft are also equipped with a standard altimeter in the interest of redundancy.
How much runway length does a Cessna 172 aircraft need to take off?
This varies depending on many factors. The aircraft's weight being foremost, a heavily loaded 172 can require as much as 3 times the runway as a nearly empty one. Additionally outside air temperature makes a big difference. On a hot day, you may need 200 to 500 feet more runway, and may not be able to take off at all if youre heavy. Field elevation plays a big role as well, some airports may be more than 5000 feet above sea level, this means less lift from your wings, and more runway. Weather can help or hurt you. A good stiff headwind might save you 200 or 300 feet from your takeoff roll, but its just as likely youll get a crosswind which may cost you. Pavement makes a huge difference, taking off from grass ususally takes at least 100 feet more runway. Bearing all that in mind, on a nice summer day, with just me in the plane & about a half-tank of gas, i can easily get off the ground in under 800 feet of runway, and if im trying, as little as 500.
Why there is a difference in BHP between Cessna 172 r and s while both have same engine IO360-L2A?
You are correct in that it is the exact same engine, the Lycoming IO360-L2A as you mentioned. The difference is in the propeller, namely the propeller RPM limits. I don't have the numbers in front of me but prop on the 172S is rated for higher RPM, and therefore 20 more BHP, and as a result, an extra 100 lbs of useful load. Additionally, there is a conversion (STC) available to swap out the prop on the R model with the S model prop (most often done at prop overhaul time) giving it the extra horsepower and useful load of the S model.
