Getting Back in the Air

Plane and Pilot

The first flight got weathered out, with broken clouds at 1,500 feet. Repairs included replacing the pitot tube/angle-of-attack sensor and the outside air temperature probe. This 172 had a flap extension speed of 85 knots, and my old Cessna 172’s limit was 100 mph, or 87 knots.
