Can you do aerobatics in a Cessna 172?
The Cessna 172 was not designed, nor intended to perform aerobatic maneuvers, beyond spins, provided the rear seats are empty. Even then it is not recommended to go much beyond one complete turn. The fuel system of a C-172 is gravity fed, and therefore not designed for prolonged inverted flight.
What is the range of a Cessna 172?
736.3 mi

How many hours can a Cessna 152 fly?
A 152 with long range tanks could fly as far as 690 NM (1200 km or 800 miles), but to do that you’d have to climb to 10’000′, reduce the power and fly for 8.7 hours, which is a very long time in a 152.
How far can a Cessna 150 fly without refueling?
The performance is virtually unmatched with cruising speeds around 600 miles per hour. The Cessna Citation X is capable of traveling 3500 miles with a fuel reserve enabling a landing at an alternate airport within 230 miles if necessary. The Citation X can cross six time zones without refueling.
Where is the center of gravity located on a small Cessna?
The center of gravity (cg) should be right above or below the center of lift. Otherwise the airplane will start to pitch and never stabilize. But you do not select the position of the cg, instead, you adjust the center of lift such that lift will act along the same axis as weight.
What is Centre gravity limits of an aircraft?
Center of gravity (CG) limits are specified longitudinal (forward and aft) and/or lateral (left and right) limits within which the aircraft’s center of gravity must be located during flight. The CG limits are indicated in the airplane flight manual. The area between the limits is called the CG range of the aircraft.

What is the center of gravity of an airplane?
In this particular case—given for information only—the center of gravity (40.9 ≈ 96,212.43 / 2,352.6) at the total weight is within limits for the Normal category as given in the aircraft’s Pilot Operating Handbook (POH). Your case may vary. The Pilot-in-Command is responsible for computing Weight & Balance for each flight.
Where does the basic empty weight of the aircraft come from?
The Basic Empty Weight (BEW) of the aircraft will come from the Weight & Balance information that is unique to each aircraft. The computed arm for the BEW may have some rounding error, so treat it as informational. Use the precise figures for Weight and Moment from your aircraft’s W&B.
What is the Cessna Pilot’s Operating Handbook?
This Pilot’s Operating Handbook has been prepared as a guide to help you get the most pleasure and utility from your airplane. It contains information about your Cessna’s equipment, operating procedures, and performance; and suggestions for its servicing and care.
