What aircraft did you learn on?
Just interested in knowing what GA aircraft you learned on. Was it the C150 or 152? Something else? I am a potential student trying to determine what flight school I want to go with. One starts students with the C-152, another starts students with the C-172.
Please advise.. |
What aircraft did i learn what on? Private pilot?
|
Mostly C172 for me (multi stuff was in a Seminole). Looking back I would have gone with the cheapest thing I could find, even if it was a C152.
|
Piper Cherokee, liked the low wing flying better for me for some reason. Then did a diamond DA20, c-182 for commercial SEL. Piper twin Comanche for multi add on.
|
C152. Find the cheapest thing you can to fly in. All you are doing is checking the box. I spent ~12k for private through CFI. It would have been way more had I gone with new trainers with all the bells and whistles. BTW, this was 2000-2001.
|
If you and your CFI can fit in a 150/152 fly that and save some cash.

C172.
I got a few hours in a C150 later on and am very happy I didn't train in it. I'm 6'1" and it was uncomfortable. Two people my size would be an exercise in space management. |
C172.
And it's my lottery plane. Aim low fly slow. |
C152 for private and time-building. C-172 for instrument. Piper Arrow for commercial. Seneca for multi-engine.

1968 C150 for private. Just the cheapest POS I could find. Glass DA40 for instrument training, and a combination of the DA40, C162, and C172 for time building.
