		<description><![CDATA[One of the first things you learn as a pilot is that a good landing stems from a good approach. In the jet world, pilots aim for a stabilized approach whereby the pilot configures the aircraft to travel at a certain airspeed and rate of descent straight down to the threshold. I recently read an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve written about before, I started my training in Diamond DA20s and later transitioned to the Cessna 172 after I switched flight schools. At the time, I had no other experience in any other aircraft so I couldn&#8217;t write a valid comparison between the two. Now however, I have about 60 hours in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The flaps on the C172 are single-slot type flaps powered by the aircraft&#8217;s electrical system. The amount of flap lowered is measured in degrees, and in the C172, the different amounts include 10º, 20º, 30º, and in some earlier models 40º. From first hand experience, putting down 40º of flap is almost always unnecessary due [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To follow up with my last post on the carburetor, I&#8217;ll be talking a bit about the carb heat lever and what is happening inside the engine when you engage it. Icing is a problem that can affect an aircraft in many ways: added weight, change in airfoil shape, increased drag, and reduction of airflow [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this post, I&#8217;ll be detailing the carburetor in the Cessna 172 and talking about what it does and how it works. To start, one should know that an engine works by burning a mixture of fuel and air in a specific proportion. This miniature explosion drives a cylinder down, and then back up again, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m currently coming close to my private license flight test, and in an attempt to learn all of the systems for the oral portion of my test, I plan to teach them to you. In my mind, if I explain it to someone else, even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t take credit for the idea for this post. I started reading a fellow aviator&#8217;s blog and found an article she linked to on airspeed. I remember when I first had to swallow the idea of true airspeed, calibrated airspeed, indicated airspeed, etc. and I remember it being a little confusing. Anyways, check out [...]]]></description>
