🔧 **Professional Update: Cessna 152 Tyre Maintenance Experience** 🛩️ At the beginning of my second year at Department of Aeronautical Engineering, ADCET, Ashta, we had the valuable opportunity to perform maintenance on the tyres of a Cessna 152. This experience was both educational and hands-on, involving several critical steps: 1. Removal: We used a hydraulic jack to lift the aircraft and safely remove the tyres. 2. Inspection: We conducted a thorough inspection of the tyres, rims, wheels, C-clamps, and brake pads. Additionally, we checked the quality of the hydraulic fluid used for the brakes. 3. Disassembly: Following the maintenance manual of the Cessna 152, we completely disassembled the components. 4. Cleaning and Reassembly: After meticulously washing all the parts, we applied grease and necessary oils before reassembling everything back onto the aircraft. 5. Documentation: We recorded the maintenance work in the Cessna 152 log book to ensure accurate and up-to-date records. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our senior, Sandip Waghmode, and our faculty in-charge, Sanoj Puthussery Sir, for their expert guidance and support throughout this process. Their mentorship was instrumental in making this experience highly educational and rewarding. #AviationMaintenance #Cessna152 #ProfessionalExperience #ThankYou #Mentorship #AerospaceEngineering #HandsOnTraining

Cessnas, particularly models like the Cessna 172, are often considered ideal for learning to fly for several reasons. Here are 6: 1. Ease of Handling: Cessnas are known for their stable and forgiving flight characteristics, making them easier for beginners to handle and control. 2. High Wing Design: The high wing design provides better visibility for the pilot and more stability during flight, which is particularly helpful for student pilots. 3. Durability and Reliability: Cessnas are built to be durable and are known for their mechanical reliability, reducing the chances of technical issues during training. 4. Availability: There are many Cessna training aircraft available at flight schools worldwide, making it easier for students to find and rent them if they are traveling or relocate. 5. Cost-Effective: Cessnas are relatively affordable to operate and maintain, making flight training more cost-effective for students. 6. Wide Use: Since many flight schools use Cessnas, transitioning from training to certification and beyond can be more seamless. These features collectively make Cessnas an excellent choice for beginner pilots. We have 9 in our fleet. Ready to fly? Give us a call to schedule a time to come by the FBO to tour our facilities, check out our fleet, & sign up for flight training. ☎️ 719-602-5405 📍 Meadow Lake Airport (KFLY) in Peyton, CO 💻 springsaviation.com

UPRT Upset Recovery Training I read an article a few days ago about the misplaced significance and benefits of upset recovery training for both private and professional pilots. It’s been weighing on me to the point that I feel obligated and driven to share my thoughts. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I found the article or who the author was, although his credits and experience were notable. The gist of the article was that upset recovery training in aircraft such as the Extra 300, Marchetti S211, or L-39 was a waste of time and held no relevance or correlation to operating either less powered piston aircraft or larger business class jets. The author made reference to the fact that these training aircraft have a much greater envelope to operate within, which is true, and therefore the training provides no correlation. He went on to state that the training also didn’t apply to experiences professional pilots, because a truly experience and professional pilot wouldn’t allow themselves to get into an upset condition from which they would need to recover. There seems to be a long history of smoking holes that prove this wrong. When I read this article I started to doubt whether or not I was able to understand or comprehend the message. I though surly no one could make such an argument. Having experience initial and recurrent USRT in both the Extra and the Marchetti S211, both high and low, I couldn’t understand how someone wouldn’t find this training invaluable. It has nothing to do with an aircraft’s horsepower, power-to-weight ratios, or G capabilities, it has to do with technique; technique that transcends make, model, or pilot experience. I’ve also found that just as important as the techniques learned to recover, is the experience and familiarity of being upside down, pointed straight up, strait down, or not really know where you’re pointed at any particular moment. I would much rather experience this for the first time in a controlled environment, with a known technique for recovery, than for the first time in an 80,000-pound floundering piece of metal at either 1000 AGL or FL450. I will provide one disclaimer to my tirade, I didn’t actually get to the end of the article. I became so frustrated that I quit reading about three quarters the way through. There is the chance that it was a spoof…feel free to set me straight.
