What is the useable load of a Cessna 150?

Short answer - about 500 lbs.

Longer answer - varies slightly from year to year and according to equipment installed. Oldest 150s (1959 vintage) had an MTOW (maximum takeoff weight) of 1500 lbs, empty weight was about 1000 to 1050 lbs. Later models went to 1600 lbs MTOW, empty weight climbed to about 1100 lbs, so payload was still 500 lbs. Cessna 152 had an MTOW of 1670 lbs, but empty weight climbed again to about 1150 or so, and we are again at 500 lbs payload.

Some 150s and 152s had 38 gallon long range tanks (about 10% of the fleet), but filling them up weighed 228 lbs, so the passengers had to have a combined weight of no more than 270 lbs, which isn't likely nowadays (people are bigger these days, in 1959 a "standard FAA person" weighed 170 lbs.)

What is the landing speed in a Cessna 182?

The pilot's operating handbook for my Cessna 182 (a 2008 T182T) recommends a 60-70 knot approach speed.I usually aim for 65 knots. I then touch down at about 55-60 knots indicated airspeed. Any slower and I lose lift and the wheels smack the runway. Any faster and it's tough to have a soft landing.I keep my hand on the throttle during landing. So, if I get going too slowly before touchdown I push the throttle in and out quickly to give a little puff of air under the wings to keep it afloat for a soft landing.Be sure to nose up slightly as to land on the main gear and not the nose wheel. Then break aerodynamically keeping the yoke back into your lap for a while after you land. This will save the breaks. You'll thank me if you have your own plane because this will save you money in break repairs.

Answer #2

I know this answer is problably a little late. But Cessna has a website that they post the aircraft specifications for all their different models.

Turbo Skylane Model T182T

Also included are the warranties applicable to the Turbo Skylane Model T182T aircraft, the Textron Lycoming TI0-540-AK1A engine, the McCauley propeller and the OEM-installed Bendix/King and Garmin avionics.

Max Take-off Weight: 3,100 lbs

Max Speed: 179 knts

Cruise Speed: 159 knts

Stall Speed w/Flaps(power off): 49 knts

Takeoff Ground roll: 775 Ft

I don't see anything on their take-off speed as that would be specified in the Flight Manual to take into account many variables such as gross weight, wind, flap setting, engine setting, etc. The above gives you an idea of its slow speed performance and the distance it takes to take-off.

Usually, the landing speed of Cessna 172 and 182s is around 70 knots which equates to about 80 MPH.

What is the difference between a Cessna 150 and a Cessna 152?

The earlier models of the Cessna 150 had a straight up vertical stabilizer and no back window. Later models had a slanted vertical stabilizer and back windows. The Cessna 152 was introduced in 1977 with a slightly higher horsepower engine, slanted vertical stabilizer, and back windows. The 152's cabin is 3 inches wider, and Cessna upgraded from the 150's 100 horsepower Continental O-200 engine to the 108 horsepower Lycoming O-235-L2C engine. The cruise speed for the 152 is between 100-110 MPH. The 150 is about 97 MPH.

Cessna 150's make better stol aircraft as they have flaps that extend to 40 degrees while the 152 only goes to 30. Flap extension on the Cessna 152 was reportedly restricted to only 30 degrees as a safety precaution, in case the flaps could not be retracted during a go-around (aborted landing).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the 150, only the L in STOL applies! It should be SL...period. Also, the wider cabin appeared in 1967. I used to own a '67 Cessna 150, Good time builder, but don't plan on getting anywhere fast. Not too comfortable for pilots with long legs too. On long X-country, you could sit in the middle, left foot on the left side rudder pedal, and right foot on the right side right rudder pedal, just to be able to stretch your legs.

------------------------------

My C150L had a normal cruise speed of 115 mph at 75% power, 6 gph. If you really need the T in STOL, check into the Texas Taildragger version, with the larger O-320 engine.

Where you can find a fuel system diagram including the location of the filter?

Typically, car dealers (in their parts department) have access to diagrams for all sorts of systems (including fuel, wiring, ignition, brake, driveline, etc.). Usually it's as easy as pulling it up on the computer programs they have. They can even do this for older vehicles, though some dealers have limits for how far back they'll go. You should also be able to find one, with some extensive Googling.

How much paint to paint Cessna 172?

747-400 fully painted-555lbs

747-400 polished with painted customer markings-55lbs

737-700 fully painted-179lbs

737-700 polished with painted customer markings 25lbs.

757-200-fully painted-239lbs

757-200-polished with customer markings-30lbs * 1 year ago http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromag... "Fully painted" does not mean that all of the aircraft is painted. Some paint schemes leave the belly unpainted. As I recall, the US Air Force E-4 Airborne Command post, a modified B747, required about 2,000 lbs of a special paint that reflected heat of an atomic blast. At the time it was painted in 1975/76, this aircraft had the largest US Flag displayed on any USAF aircraft---which was applied with peel & stick decals.

How would a Cessna 172 fare against a World War 1 fighter in a dogfight?

In terms of firepower,the Cessna is definitely outclassed as it is unarmed from the start,while the WW1 fighter would definitely be armed.But the Cessna is way better in terms of ruggedness since it is build with metals that will allow the Cessna to take another hit or two before going down,and it is much easier and less complicated to fly than the WW1 fighter,but less manuvereable since it's not designed for military application,not even dogfighting.Pilot skill is also accounted for decisive factor in determining the winner and the loser

How many hours fly Cessna 152 from MN to NJ?

The flight time for a Cessna 152 from Minnesota (MN) to New Jersey (NJ) can vary depending on factors such as weather conditions, flight path, and air traffic. Generally, the distance is around 1,000 miles, and the Cessna 152 has a cruise speed of about 100 knots (115 mph). This means the flight could take approximately 10-12 hours, assuming direct flying with no significant stops or delays. However, in practice, the actual time may be longer due to necessary fuel stops and other considerations.

Who invented the Cessna?

How much runway length does a Cessna need to land?

What is a cesna bush plane?

A Cesna bush plane is a Cesna with a tail wheel rather than a nose wheel that is adapted for landing in rough terrain. This would be gravel or dirt runways, snow, and short runways. They usually have larger engines so they can carry more cargo.

What is the difference between a Cessna 180 and a Cessna Sky hawk?

Skyhawk is the name given to the Cessna 172. The 180 has a more powerful engine, variable speed prop, and is slightly larger than the 172. The biggest visual difference is the landing gear. The cessna 180 is a tail dragger while the 172 has tricycle gear.

How long is the flight from Denver CO to Detroit MI in a Cessna airplane?

It depends what kind of Cessna airplane you are talking about. Cessna has made anything from a single engine 152 that has an airspeed of about 120 mph to a Citation X, a business jet capable of flying at mach .92 (over 600 mph), which is just under the speed of sound.

It is about 1150 air miles from Denver to Detroit, so the flight in a 152 would take 9.5 hours (not including stops for fuel or factoring in winds aloft), while the Citation X could do it in just under 2 hours non-stop.

What font does Cessna use on their logo?

I'm almost certain that Cessna uses Arial Black for their font, of course with Italics and all caps. The bottom row of words is Arial Narrow, at least, I'm pretty sure.

How many hours will cesna 172 fly when full of gas?

A Cesna 172 with a full tank of gas can fly upwards of 6 to 7 hours if flown at higher altitude. The plane uses less fuel at higher altitude and thus can go further. If flown faster at lower altitude, it won't go far at all.
