my cousin is real pilot{private} he owns and fly's a Cessna 172 And he lives In Pa and I live in jersey so I have taxed too get gas with him and pushed in the throttle a bit. My qeustion is what should I EXPECT when I DO GO UP IN the air.

Ps. that flight I was telling you got canceled because It was windy And my cousin only fly's in sunny weather with no rain snow or wind and hardly any clouds cause he don't have the part of his license to fly in the clouds.

Honestly, I don't get your question... or why he does not fly when there is any wind. The wind will just shorten his t/o distance (unless you have bad crosswind) and either shorten/extend your enroute time.

He is not IFR rated, so no flying in the fun stuff. Wink

I want too know what to expect when I go up there. it was really windy that day so we canceled even one of the other pilots agreed (when we radioed him)he was in it so I would think he knew what it was like

Why not crank up the wind in FS and take up a 172.....you'll probably end up with a really mediocre simulation of what it might be like in real life. Razz

the puffier the clouds, the bumpier the ride!
