Cessna 172 Cockpit Poster Labels: A Guide for Student Pilots

As a student pilot, it's essential to understand the technical aspects of flying a Cessna 172, one of the most widely used training aircraft in flight schools. In this article, we'll delve into the cockpit poster labels and provide an overview of what you can expect when flying this iconic plane.

The Cessna 172 is known for its stability and ability to withstand rough handling, making it an ideal choice for flight training. But did you know that a stall occurs when the yoke is pulled back, causing the plane to lose thrust and drop from the sky? This maneuver may seem daunting at first, but with proper training, it's a skill that can be mastered.

ERAU operates 51 Cessna 172s across its state-of-the-art aviation programs, providing students with a high level of professionalism in their flight training. These planes are equipped with advanced technology, including G1000 Glass Cockpit and ADS-B, making them some of the most modern aircraft in flight training.

As you take to the skies in one of these Cessnas, you may hear ATC communications over your headsets, such as 'Skyhawk 405 Echo-Romeo, wind 050 at 7, clear to land runway 7L, caution wake turbulence, departing runway a Boeing 737.' This is just one example of the many scenarios you'll encounter during flight training.

Some students working towards their Commercial Pilot License and Certified Flight Instructor training will also be flying the Diamond DA42-VI, but those working on their Private Pilot License and Instrument Rating will likely spend most of their time in the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. This plane is a popular choice for instrument-rated pilots due to its reliability and ease of handling.
