Features of the Detail Pack for Cessna 152

This Detail Pack is built into FSFlyingSchool PRO 2013 - it does not need to be added!

If purchased as an add-on for FSFlyingSchool PRO, it works with FSX and FS2004 AND Prepar3D!

With the Detail Pack for Cessna 152, your instructors will be looking at your aircraft and your performance in your Cessna 152 in a lot more detail.

Includes a number of Cessna 152 checklists you can request to be read by your chosen instructor.

Here are just some of the different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to talk to you, with specific reference to the Cessna 152 you are flying.

Starting and Takeoff

Shortly after flight starts on ground with master battery on

Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.

Engine start attempted and throttle not correctly set

Advice that throttle should be open about 1/2 inch when starting.

Engine start attempted and parking brake not set

Warning that parking brake must be set when starting the engine.

Engine start attempted with master battery switch off

Advice that the master battery switch must be on when starting the engine.

Shortly after moving in taxi mode

Advice on which instruments and systems should be checked during taxiing.

In takeoff mode with more than 10 degrees of flaps

Warning that you have too much flaps set and that you should use no more than 10 degrees.

Shortly after beginning takeoff

Advice to move throttle smoothly up to full.

Shortly after beginning takeoff

Advice that the nose wheel can be lifted at 50 KIAS.

Shortly after takeoff

Reminder that this aircraft's 'vX' (Best Angle of Climb Speed) is 55 KIAS at sea level. Use this speed to clear runway obstacles or to lift off from a soft field quickly.

Shortly after takeoff

Reminder that this aircraft's 'vY' (Best Rate of Climb Speed) is 67 KIAS at sea level. Use this speed to climb after takeoff in normal operations.

Shortly after takeoff

Reminder that in this aircraft you should normally turn with a 20 degree bank and when doing so you will want to rollout about 20 degrees before your desired heading.

Shortly after takeoff

Advice that if you encounter heavy turbulence you need to be at or below manoeuvring speed ('vA') and to remember that this will decrease as you burn fuel.

Shortly after takeoff

Advice to use right rudder to correct for any unwanted yawing to the left caused by P factor and torque.

Entering cruise mode

Advice to cruise between 1900 and 2550 RPM and to lean the mixture above 3000 feet MSL to obtain maximum RPM.

Descent and Landing

Descending and below maximum flap speed while landing

Advice that once below 85 KIAS the pilot may start to lower flaps.

Descending and decelerating to maximum flap speed while landing

Advice that once below 85 KIAS the pilot may start to lower flaps.

Descent to around 600 feet AGL while landing

Advice to use pitch to control airspeed and power to control rate of descent during approach and landing.

Descent to around 500 feet AGL while landing

Advice that you typically want to land with 30 degrees flaps, 1700 RPM and 60 knots IAS.

Descent to around 400 feet AGL while landing

Reminder to flare at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway and to lift the nose about 10 degrees.

Descent to around 300 feet AGL while landing

Reminder that at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway you should reduce power to idle and flare.

General Warnings and Advice

Carburetor heat on and neither landing nor attempting engine restart

Advice that normal operation requires carburetor heat off unless landing or attempting to restart an engine which has failed in flight.

Carburetor heat off and landing

Advice that normal operation requires carburetor heat on for landing.

Primer being used with engine off

Advice that up to three strokes of the engine primer can be used before starting.

Primer being used with engine on

Advice that primer is not used when engine is already running.

Loss of engine while airborne

Advice that the best glide speed in this aircraft is 60 KIAS.

Engine fire started

Warning that the engine is on fire.

Shortly after engine has started

Reminder to check the oil pressure.

Speed approaching vNO

Reminder that you need smooth air to fly into the yellow arc on your ASI, above 111 KIAS which is 'vNO' (Maximum Structural Cruising Speed) for this aircraft.

Speed approaching vNE

Warning that you are close to exceeding 149 KIAS which is 'vNE' (Never Exceed Speed) for this aircraft.

Decreasing speed approaching vSO

Warning that stall speed with full flaps is 43 KIAS which is 'vSO' (Stalling Speed in Landing Configuration) for this aircraft.

Decreasing speed approaching vS

Warning that stall speed with flaps up is 46 KIAS which is 'vS' (Stalling Speed with Flaps Up) for this aircraft.

Left or right fuel level is low

Warning that one or both fuel tanks are getting low and you may wish to consider your refuelling options.

Flaps down and flying too fast for any flaps

Advice that once below 85 KIAS the pilot may use flaps.

Flaps down and flying too fast for that particular flaps setting

Advice that once below 85 KIAS the pilot may use up to 30 degrees of flaps.

Master battery switched on

Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.

Master battery on and fuel level getting low

Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full as fuel falls below 50%, 25%, 10%, 5% and 3%.
