Cessna 152 Flight Training (startup, takeoff, landing, traffic pattern)

- This Cessna 152 flight demonstrates some of what I have to do to be a safe pilot when I rent a 152 from my local flight school. Starting with the pre-flight checklist, I go over some of what is on a Cessna 152 checklist for startup, takeoff, landing, etc. and include a look at how a closed traffic pattern works. This is not meant to be an extremely thorough tutorial. It is simply an introduction to flying in a Cessna 152. Fun fact: my "number one traffic" in the Extra at 15:33 is Patty Wagstaff.

50 years ago (I was 16) I spent my 8th hour of dual flight instruction shooting touch and go's in a new 152, tail number N60905 painted in Cessna's flight school promo paint job. I knew I was getting close to having the skills to solo but had no clue when that would happen. When I pulled up into the flight school parking area my instructor told me to shut down without first positioning the 152 for parking. He told me I was ready to solo right then and there. I was instructed to get back in and take it up once around the pattern. I got back in, fired up, contacted ground and taxied out to the threshold. Tower cleared me for takeoff and a once around. I took off, turned on crosswind then downwind and while watching for traffic and being overloaded with the adrenaline that a first solo can produce, I realized that I was about 600 ft above the pattern altitude. I instantly focused on that oversight and spent the entire downwind throttled back and paying attention to my instruments, to the tower and traffic and descending to the pattern altitude. I turned base, then final and lined up for a perfect landing. Tower congratulated me on a perfect first solo (little did he know - no transponder in that one). Ground cleared me back to the flight school with another 'job well done'. When I got out, my instructor was standing there with a pair of scissors with which he cut my shirt tail off to hang on the wall of the flight school with my name and date of the glorious event. Unfortunately, I was a sophomore in high school and needed to save my money for college. My dad (who was also a private pilot) had no clue I had been blowing my money on flying and shut that program down for me then and there. Even though dual cost $21 an hour and solo $14 an hour, the minimum wage was was about $1.60 at the time so relatively speaking, it was still expensive. Even though my intention was to keep it up after college, other priorities got in my way and I never did. This first solo was my last but I still have my log book to prove that I did it! So thank you Brady for this video! Watching this video was a first for me since then and brought back many good memories.!
John Cook , what a lovely write up, thanks for sharing. I have had one experience flight (including basic aeros ☺) and one lesson. My lesson was in a 172. I loved it. I am studying Air Law and Principals of Flight while we are all on the ground wishing we were in the sky. Stay safe.
John Cook The day I soloed it was the same . My instructor had me do a few T&G’s after before taxing up too the hanger . He had me stop , he got out and contacted the tower and said he was “ sending one up on his own .....be gentle “ . Scared to a point , but after the first T&G everything clicked perfectly . I remember the day I got my “ ticket “. He said congratulations......” now go and learn too fly “.
Thats a great story John, and one more solo than me and most other people. Must have been a fantastic experience for sure!
Best way to do your first solo
I'm going to have a solo in a Cessna 185 skywagon
45 years ago I had racked up 12 hours in a Cessna 150 and was ready to solo. But I couldn't pass my physical due to my eyesight (didn't have TWO good eyes). Now I am old and with a bad heart, but love videos like this to remember what it was like. Thanks!
Gareth Leitner Gareth Leitner Wow. Thanks for sharing that. I'm delighted to hear you are enjoying some of my flying videos and hope you get a chance to check out some flights in the Waco as well. The physical demands can be a drag (pun intended). But I wish you good health, and many more flights as a wingman in the cockpit.
👍🙏
Agreed. Can't wait for Microsoft's new FlightSim for Xbox next year.
That's my story, too. My dad was a pilot for United (this is 1968) and made sure his kids knew how to fly a Cessna 150. Judson Aviation at what is now Vance Brand airport, Longmont, CO. Since I have limited vision in my L eye I had to take a special check-ride with the FAA guy and passed no problem. That's as far as it could ever go, at that point but my love for flying and flying machines is as strong as ever. So this was a wonderful video to watch and I appreciate you letting me tag along, Brady.
@Mr Nobody Thay are allowed, but this was 45 years ago, maybe you should check the faa-regulations from 45 years ago.
My biggest fear about getting my pilots license and learning to fly is never understanding wtf ATC is saying. Always sounds like they’re using a potato as a mic.
Lmao
ikr lol
It's better when you have the headset on IRL than hearing it through a recording
I felt the same when I was a new trucker. Usually when you hear CB audio played back in a video, it sounds like a garbled mess, but in-person, it’s usually pretty clear and easy to understand. On top of that, after you’ve been in the industry for a while, there’ll come a point where you can hear garble and still know what’s being said.
Just listen to it on live ATC all the time and you'll get better
Yes, the first solo is a once in a life time experience. No matter how many hours you log, those first 15 minutes are the most remembered. I had mine on June 22, 1968 after 9 hours of dual training. We took of and landed and taxied back to the ramp of the Aeroclub Maracaibo in Venezuela. My instructor jumped out of the Cessna 150 YV-E-KPF and when I was about to do the same he said to stay in. I look at him kind of worried and he said: "you are ready for your first solo". All what I could ask was "are you sure?" Yes, I am he said. Then he called tower and advised the controller. The idea was making three takeoff and landings on the row. My instructor then said: "be aware of two main points: trim the plane less because now you are alone so the plane is lighter and most important: once you are up in the air, you must land safely. Nobody else can do it. Only you. I will be on the radio at all times. So, I took of and once in the air I realized what I was doing. On my own. My life depends on me alone. What a feeling. What was going to be a 15 minutes flight turned out to be a 40 minutes one. While on the down wind leg and almost about to start my base leg, the controller advised to extend the down wind leg for 5 minutes since a DC-8-61 was starting the down wind leg to land in 02L. I acknowledged and turned my head back and only could see 4 back smoke trails. I remembered the dog-fights in the movies, pushed the throttle to max and headed for the new airport in construction at that time and performed a holding pattern for about 10 minutes when the controller advised to go ahead and land. After finishing my 3 circles and parking the plane they took me out and poured a bucket of water on me. The custom at that time was to pour a bucket of spent oil but that practice had recently been prohibited after an accident where the pilot was burned to death because the oil. I flew for 15 more years but that first solo is still in my mind. Thanks Brady for bringing those memories.
these planes look kind of fast because In this video I saw that the aircraft was slightly bit faster than the cars. unbelievable
The first solo is indeed a high light and you will never forget it. I soloed in a Piper Tri-Pacer at Van Nuys Airport in 1971. It was a totally focused event and a thrilling experience. The feeling of excitement, anxiety, confidence all wrapped up in the moment. This with a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment at the end of the flight. It’s like nothing else that you ever will experience. It brings a smile to my face and I remember it like it was yesterday. Leaving the airport that day was like I was on top of the world and it was like nothing else mattered. Take the opportunity and learn how to fly. The day that you solo, I promise, will be an extraordinary experience that you will carry with you for a lifetime.
My 16 year old son is working on doing his solo, I’m so very proud of him!
I have never took any flight lesson but I know 70% of instrument and how it works, what I know I can't do easily is landing, the Alt calculation, the descending speech, the flaps required, the wind manoeuvres and the smooth touch down. But taking off I can do that without thinking.

I literally thought this was Flight sim 2020 by the thumbnail lol. However, I still watched and learned a TON of info lol
joe smoe lol this is the real deal but can certainly be applied to simulation : )
@@BradySkye captain Joe a real pilot is playing the game his Chanel is #captainjoe
@@BradySkye Same here, learned with Flight Simluator 2020 on Cessna 152 and landed on this video! xD
Pushing the plane back at the end of flight sim can unplug it, possibly causing a complete disintegration of the metro area. Be careful.
dude that animation you put in the corner is so cool, great job!
Ender Rubio Thanks! That's one of my favorite things about this video and I'd like to keep that going for anything related to the traffic pattern.
How is it done. I want to incorporate something similar
Anønymøus Víds I used a mix of photoshop and premiere. I made my .png's in Photoshop then imported them into premiere and key-framed the airplane around the traffic pattern shape. It's not necessarily easy to do. I've been wondering if there is an easier way but I could make a video showing how I did it.
@@BradySkye yes please that would be very helpful. Just got adobe and photoshop.
@@BradySkye how about Garmin Virb or GoPro overlay ? it can show the gauges and map tracking on video
This video is the first video I watched to see if being a pilot was for me. Just so happened to be recommended to me as I was thinking about a career change. I remember watching it and thinking "I need to do this"
a bit later and this video pops up in my recommended again, and since I first watched it I've gotten my first flight, Private license, Instrument License, Multi-Engine and Multi-engine instrument. Working on my Commercial license right now and I'm loving it. The best decision I've ever made is to become a pilot.
You've played a note in my story, a video I watched that possibly changed my life forever. I'm sure there are several others that have done the same because of you. I hope you realize how much you've changed my life and many others, simply by sharing what you do in a single small flight :) .
I don’t even know where to start in beginning to thank you for writing all of this out. This comment is what wakes me up in the morning and keeps me going. My hope with making this video was to inspire others to take that first flight, and see where it takes them. So Garrett, the only thing left to do now is for us to fly together and raise a glass.
This is BY FAR one of the best videos I have seen. As a student pilot who had my first flight this week, I have been looking for a simple video that goes over a cessna 152 startup, pattern etc. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by and flying with me.

Boy this brings back fond memories. I started my flying lesson in a Aeronca Champ when I was still in Junior High. I soloed in a 150 in 1967. I now have hundreds of hours in the 150 and 152. I went on to get my Commercial Multi-engine rating and owned two airplane in my time. A Piper Colt and a Cessna 210. I quit flying about 20 years ago. Now I don't think I could pass the physical. I'm 73 years-old now. I loved flying the 152. It was so easy to fly. Nearly brought tears to my eyes watch this flight.
Have you looked into basic med?
@@minecraftwtihclay No. I'm retired now and just can't afford to fly any longer. I sold the C-210 about 20 years ago and haven't flown since. I do miss it though.
Metal Detecting with Bucky did you do it as a career or just for the enjoyment?
Love your story and you are a true legend in the aviation industry.
@Metal Detecting with Bucky How did you like the Piper Colt with no flaps?
That was so cool! I've never been up in one of those and always wondered what it entails. Thanks for sharing!
Brady, I just came across this video and love it. Brings back many memories of my father, brother and I. I come from an aviation family that loves to fly. It has been a long time since I have flown and this was great to watch. Keep your wings flapping and head high.
I used to fly, but at the age of 82, I can enjoy your instructive videos. Great demonstration.
I am so happy to hear that. Thanks so much Gilbert. Be sure to check out some videos in the Waco Biplane. I think you may enjoy those even more.
Thank you.
You dont fly anymore?
This video is a pure gift ! Cristal audio and awesome video quality ! Will start ATPL Integrated program next week ! Thank you
Thanks for doing this! I'm just starting my journey to obtain my PPL. I really loved the graphic in the upper left corner showing your position relative to the airport...it really helped to visualize things. I'll be watching more of your videos.
Thank you. A very good narrative and play-by-play from pilot's eye view - including clear explanations of each step of the flight!!!
Great refresher. I haven’t flown a 152 in a few years. Brings back good memories
Thanks for the ride. I got my licence in a 150 at Guelph Ontario Canada back in 2001. Fun stuff!
Thank you for taking all of us along for your most excellent ride!
Thanks Brady that was really instructive. I'm a budding enthusiast of aviation. Can't get enough of these videos.
Brady, thank you for making and sharing this video. It's interesting and informative.
Good beginner plane and great flying conditions. Really glad he showed the proper walk around, commercial pilots do this too. Sometimes the ground crew will do some, but a buddy of mine who flies cargo now after years of flying for British Airways prefers to still do his own in Europe. Thx for the video.
Back in the 70's learned to fly a 152 out of Birdsnest Airport outside of Austin, just north of Manor. Lots of practice with crosswind landings. Loved it. Thank you for bringing back the memories.
Great video Bradley. Really enjoyed it. Loved the tower to aircraft graphic and aircraft position graphic. Helps to build the mental picture.
Wish I can have you as my instructor .your training is very calming and detailed
Brady: “You never want to trust the fuel gauge.”
Me: “Hm, same with my ‘98 F-150.”
Me: "Same with my 88 F250"
Fuel Guage usually give false reading while moving and to get a good reading it must be still for couple minute.
Hm, same with my bicycle.
but thats not correct. trust it when you know how much error it has. so although readings are not exact, you know what they mean.. but first make a comparison between reading and real quantity. this gauge indicates "zero fuel" before there's really no fuel at all. that's for security . you may have some fuel in pipes lines and the engine still goes although the gage indicates nothing.
That's something John Denver should have learned prior to his last flight.
Excellent video, use to fly Cessna 152's and 172's. Your preflight check was wonderful and more thorough than what I had been taught. Your video captures some of the feeling when doing touch and go's. Thanks. Bob
I really appreciate this video. I could watch it many times to learn the procedures. I am flying on FS 2020 now and I love it. It is amazing in some respects that I don't see any real technological changes from when I was a passenger with my friend in a 152. 44 years ago, The world outside has changed and this has stayed the same except perhaps for more traffic. Thanks again.
I started my flying passion in this very make of aircraft, the Cessna 152. I am nearly 60 now, and haven't flown for some time, but I will never forget my time in this magic little aircraft, good to see there are still some around.
Boy oh boy !! does this bring back mermories , when I also got my private pilot’s liecence in 1986 , I trained on the same 152 , practicing spins , stalls , steep turns , emergency landings etc.. nice video thanks 🙏 for sharing
Thanks, brings back loads of great memories of my younger days.
Great video!! I flew my first 70hrs in a 152 out of KFRG NY, 15 years ago. This brings me back.
Learned on a Cessna 152 then progressed to 172 and 182 about 25 years ago. This brings back fond memories. Bad heart so no more flying for me but still fun to watch.
Dear Brady, for those of us who couldn't do the real flying, this video is a real treat. Yes I did have a simulator session for an A320 with a pilot. Cessna looks interesting, not too complicated. I appreciate the time you have taken to record and upload this video. Keep the good work going man !!! Good Luck !!
Thanks to you too! I really appreciate it.
Love how thorough you are. I don't see everyone always doing this much.
Brady…..this is an excellent video, I would say the best I have seen on CZcams about everything involved on a flight. You did a wonderful job of filming and your explaining and narration is superb. Thanks for sharing.
Great video!
Yeah i like it
buttered it. Contrary to other commenters, I'm looking forward to being a pilot. Your video really helped me clear some suspicions and doubts.
Great video and explanations. Keep up the good work, and continued safe flying!
Thanks much for the very enjoyable video! Wow, seemed like a very calm day except during flair out which is about normal. I flew a 150 for my first 8 - 10 hours and then switched to a 172 which required quite a bit less control movement. Earned my ticket in a 172. Had a heart attack a while back and you know what that does in regards to a flight physical.
I learned to fly in Cessna’s 150 and 152 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Great training planes! After I got my PPL I was able to fly any small plane in Europe. High wing or low wing. Stick or yoke, it didn’t matter. Had very good instructors too!
God, I love flying, the best quote I ever heard from a sturdiest after a very hard landing in Las Vegas due to very hot weather was "it was not the weather's fault, maybe it could have been the pilot's fault, but I'm sure the pilot would say it was the asphalt"... The whole cabin erupted in laughter.
Lol
Great video. As someone who is looking into flying I really appreciate an inside look.
Brady, I'm 67 now, back in 1973 when I was 20 I started flying lessons in a 172 Skyhawk out of Chicago's Midway airport. This was prior to leaving for active duty in the Navy. I'm so glad that I found your video, it brought back so many fond memories of how much fun it was to fly. Next to my children being born my first solo was the biggest thrill of my life, it amazes me today that I did it and survived. Thank you for the outstanding video, it felt like I was up there with you.
Bravo sir!
Hey Charles…I remember my first solo. I thought I was a fighter pilot when my C150 lept from the ground. I suddenly realized my instructor was on the ground and I was on my own. Never forget that feeling! Just great and that was some 60 years ago. Man, where did the years go?
You did an amazing job man for real ! Thank you so much that you share your experiences and knowledges. As a future student pilot, I want to see more of your flights ! God bless...
gracias, muy interesante...from Valencia, Spain
I'm not a pilot so this was very informative. Great flight, thanks for sharing.
This takes me back to my flight lessons 30 years ago. I am still passionate about getting a license some day.
Thank you so much for the video helped me a lot thanks 🙏🏼
I’m young and have wanted to get my license for a few years now but am unable due too various medical and medications I take restricting me… but being able to watch things like this and even playing flight sims allows me to keep a passion for something just out of reach. Love the video man!!
Nice vid! I did my Private flight training in a 152, great little plane to learn on. In Canada spin training is required for one's Private and the 152 spins like a charm, one of my favorite parts of getting my private license.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I flew a 150 and 172 back In the 1960's and 1970's. My biggest challenge was the communications which would be harder now with the amounts of traffic. It was fun flying with you. I travel the world on the big ones as a passenger now and monitor everything I can just to relive the old days. The love of flying can last a lifetime.
Very cool. I just took my first training flight in a C-152 and wanted to watch this to observe the process
I am a licensed pilot who hasn't flown in a few years. Really enjoyed the video. Brings back good memories. Nice work.
Great video. I love the 150/152 airplane. I miss flying. Got to get back into it soon. Thanks for sharing this video.
Learned to fly in a CCESSNA152.I loved it.Yooure not going anywhere very fast,but you do your part,and the aircraft will get you there. Thank you for the video

On a good day, flying a Cessna 152 from Kent County International Airport, I could squeeze in 10 touch and goes and 1 full stop landing in an hour. My finances were tight and I got much more flight practice staying in the pattern versus flying around in the training area away from the airport. One pilot commented about the fun of flying from Wisconsin during the winter. I agree! Our main runway was 10,000 feet and always cleared of ice and snow. The parallel runway we did the touch and goes from was a still decent 4,500', but was frequent covered in hard pack snow. When I could do 7-8 consistantly good touch and goes from snow covered runway with stiff crosswind, I felt like I was doing some good piloting. My instructor made sure I had a lot of landings on snow packed runways and night flying. I was grateful that he challenged me.
Very nice video, it’s been a while since my last C152 flight. One little thing to add , after landing make sure you clear the active RWY by crossing the whole ACFT including the Tail through the Runway Boundary Sings. It’s a good Safe habit to have.
Safe flights , blue skies!!
Love that 1996 Roadmaster station wagon in the end, looks in great shape used to have one but all rusted out few years back, great road car!
This is the coolest tutorial on CZcams👍
WOW - Old 152 - What I learned to fly on 16 years ago. So many great memories with this old girl.
Woah so professional, both airmanship and video production.
great job, thanks for that; you manage to get everything in...controls, procedure, safety, excitement & views!
Thank you Brady, I still remember all of it, like riding a bike, a great refresher from my flying day > 80hrs, well-done, look forward to watching more of your flying videos and travels too.
Awesome! Thanks so much for the feedback. Stoked to have you on board.
I remember flying the 152 real early in my career...fun plane to fly .great beginner plane..
Nice! It's a great machine I agree.
Excellent video, my old 152 was a daggy old thing, I repainted and trimmed it up, new bits and pieces. Loved having my own plane.
Enjoyed the video. Did my training in 150 and 152 back in 1989, depending on what was available at the Cessna school. When came time to do cross country flights, short, medium, and long, did them in 172 instrument rated with duel radio's. It was a toss up when did cross country, use 152, go a little slower, or 172 a little faster. One thing remember about 150 and 152 were they were easy to handle on stalls especially on power on stall in a bank. Always practiced them when working on hours in practice area. Again thanks for the video, brought back a lot of great memories.
Just started online ground school through Sporty's. Planning on getting my ppl this spring. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! Enjoy the ride, and let me know if there is anything I can help with.
Nice video! I'm a newbie and have started using Prepar3d with a C172 on my PC. Right now I'm boning out and practicing the preflight/cabin checklist, seeing how it's done (although in a different C-model) in real life is really cool. Thanks for sharing!
For an student pilot perspective, this is my favorite flying teaching video...Great job!
Inspiring video. Very well made and pilot truly knows what he is doing. Smooth landings and take offs. Inspiring. Thank you❤
Awesome. Looks fun and nerve wrecking at the same time. Love it.
Left a Like a subscribed. Thnaks for this inspirational video. I will be going to start my flight training soon and this video helped a lot. Thanks once again.
I have no flying experience myself, but my father was a pilot with 23,000+ hours (U.S. Navy, commercial and private pilot). Your video brought back memories of the 100s of hours I was on board with him. Thanks for creating the video and running through all you did. Great job!
Great bro!
It's good to know the basic checklist before the fly for a curious well unknown person like me.
awesome video man thank you ! Very useful informations for new student pilots!..
This takes me back. About 8 years ago i flew 38 hours with my friend as an instructor in his Cessna 152. I wasn't far from the minimum 45 flight hours for certification, but i never got around to it as my friend passed away and i was injured in a non aviation related incident.
Never took up flying again even after i got my medical back. I regularly see the same plane at the local airport, at least it went to a good home.
Love this video. Helps us student pilots a lot to know what to expect.
Excellent viewing. Thanks for the ride.
Love the Cessna 152
Cessna is a wonderful company for sure.
After all these years, this is the first time I have seen a video of the actual checks
This was awesome dude. Great video. Thanks for this.
AMAZING VIDEO!! I have been looking for a video that goes this far into a full flight including checklists and stuff and you don't talk to the cam when ATC is talking makes it 1000000% better for people like me who want to be pilots
This video is great, it helps out so much. The animation in the top left is helpful and very nice. Undertitles are also available. I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you for this!
This is so awesome man!! I really want lessons now!!
The world needs people like you up there!

Awesome! Thanks Steve. Great to hear that.
Lovely presentation. Your comments about high wings and flying for fun and just looking down and around and trying to spot stuff is actually such a valid a point to want one to eventually work towards that goal perhaps?
Excellent video! Very clear explanation better than my CFI. Keep posting 👏
I am planning on getting my PPL and this has given me an idea of what to expect on my trial lesson, thanks for the great content.
Good to hear!
How did it go? :)
Joshua Engering Whats the process of getting PPL and how much it cost
@@dennis771 Im about half way through my PPL now... But have had to stop since the COVID outbreak. Are you based in the UK? Realistically you can expect to spend £10-15k for lessons and equipment (headset, flight bag, reading material, knee board & Log Book + some other bits)
You'll want to find a flight school with decent maintenance on the planes and a competitive rate for hours.
You'll also need to get a class 2 medical and pass your air law exam, so start your revision and book reading if you want to get the theory ready for when you fly.
All the best! :)
Joshua Engering no I’m in America
I just started flight school about a week ago. This really helps me understand the 152 a lot more than before. Thank you so much!
How are you doing now... one year later?
@@HonorRebel77 currently a private pilot working on my instrument license 👌
Thanks for the video Brady. I got my PPL in December 1998, but I stopped flying shortly after that. I recently retired and thought it would be great to get back into flying. Problem is, I have forgotten most everything. So, I feel I will be starting all over. I appreciate the detail of your video and I plan to watch it several more times to reacquaint myself with some of the basics before I go to the local airfield, find an instructor, and start the process of knocking off all of that rust.
Really solid video, I have already watched it a few times as it is a great illustration of real time procedures, much appreciated and thank you for your valuable contribution to the community.
Awesome, thank you! It could always be better but it was my first attempt at teaching something in an airplane.
Amazing vid and explanation!
It has been over 10 years for me but this video brings back so many memories! I can smell the avgas!
I love the smell of avgas in the morning!

Love this video... especially the map in the corner. As a beginner I have a clear reference of what's going on when making radio calls. Imma keep watching. 💯 👍
This is an excellent video with content featured in a way that future/student pilots may understand the layman's language. A+
