Sure you've got to wear the 152 and it's less capable cross country, but the 152 flies like a nimble roadster compared to the wallowing family sedan that is the 172. You really feel the difference in the flare, where the 152 gives you so much touch and control that you feel you've let her down if you don't grease it on every time. Especially with the lower cost, if the mission doesn't require the capabilities of the 172, I'll take the 152 every time.

You make very good and valid points. I found myself over controlling the 152. I know it is not the airplane, it is me! I personally love the family sedan 😂

Which is better? Well, the number one thing that determines that is... how much money you have. 🤔

True. The 172 will cost thousands more than a 152 in training long term!!

Must be a really old 152, because I flown many different 152s and all have had V.O.Rs. I would not fly a152 on a cross country flight without a V.O.R.

I think the 152 is late 80s or early 90s but it is the most stripped down version. iPad mini fits perfect into center dash with power connection built in. I always fly the 172 for cross country.

I’m getting an intro flight booked. Then going to decide if I want to get my recreational pilot permit and work toward privet license. Ultimately, I want to be able to do passenger and small cargo flights for work but twin engine, which I know will take a lot more work. Any tips for me? I am pretty new. Anything I don’t care info is gold.

Congrats on your decision! The first few flights will be just amazing, but then it will get real when you get deeper into training. Everyone has good days and bad days in training, DO NOT beat yourself up. Just flying around is easy. Flying with precision is hard and takes time to learn and build those skills. It is easy to get overwhelmed. Just take everything one step at a time. If you have FSX or X-Plane on a home computer you can practice procedures, maintaining altitude and speed control. It will help you to understand what to look for visually. (Except for Steep turns, very hard to simulate outside real airplane) You won't be able to work for hire unless you get a commercial license. If that is your goal, I recommend going straight to a Private License instead of a recreation license. Flight School will tell you not to worry about getting a medical until you solo (usually 35-45 hours flying) but I say go get a 1st class medical right away. The reason I say that is, that you want to know you can pass an FAA physical before you spend any money on flight training. They are not hard to pass. Very similar to getting a physical in school to play sports but certain health conditions can limit your pilot privileges. I made the mistake of getting a 3rd class medical and then later I got a 1st class physical to ensure I could get a commercial license. Basically, I paid twice. If you get a 1st class physical and you do not renew it in the required time, no big deal, it will automatically become a 2nd class. If you still have not renewed your 2nd class physical, it will turn into a 3rd class physical. If you do not renew a 3rd class physical, then it expires! You will need at least a 2nd class physical for work. For recreational pilot you can fly with Basic Med which does not require an FAA Physical but you must have first passed and FAA physical at least once previously. Don't get overwhelmed with the total cost of flight training. Concentrate on the training itself. If you focus, you will save money in the long term. If you are stressed out about money, you won't focus and it will cost you more money long term! Let me know what else you would like to know.

@@Alberto1B thank you for replying, I thought about doing the medical right after the intro flight. Thankfully where I would be going for my education and training allows pause when needed. I try not to think about the money aspect, I try to think more about what doors can open up if I can see it through even if the PPL takes me two years. That being said I might have a friend who wants to do this with me in parallel at the same location, this might help us with costs. What book or material would you recommend to study radio communication,

@@BeholdSevenWoes Listen to "LIVE ATC" you can google it and get used to the way they speak. A good way to practice is fly on line with a simulator. Check out vatsim.net/ Just practicing will make you better. Just remember it is not a casual conversation, ATC wants to know: 1. Who you are 2. What you are 3. What's your request 4. Location/Direction of flight. If you do not understand something, ALWAYS start by saying, "Student Pilot, can you please say again?" They will be more patient and change their tone. ATC is trained to recognize stress.

That is a great tip! I had gotten robotic with flaps and airspeed. I have since broken that habit and I pay better attention to wind speed and direction. Thank you for the support!
