A 1963 Cessna 172D. Today, spin training is not required for a private pilot licence in the United States; added to this, most training-type aircraft are placarded "intentional spins prohibited". Some models of Cessna 172 are certified for spinning although they can be difficult to actually get into a spin. Generally, though, spin training is ...
The aircraft experienced a mid-air collision with a Cessna 172, killing both occupants of the Cessna, while there were no injuries aboard the commercial flight and it made a successful landing in spite of loss of its right horizontal stabilizer.

This model had a longer wing, giving it a lower landing speed. The name was a play on the name of a popular model of Cessna, the Cessna 172, the idea being it is one better. Some flying Velocity planes experienced "deep stall" incidents, where the main wing stalled before the canard, causing an unrecoverable stall.
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. [2] First flown in 1955, [2] more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. [3] It was developed from the 1948 Cessna 170 but with tricycle landing gear rather than conventional landing gear.
Additional speed ranges are specified for other segments of the approach. [1]: Table II-5-1-2 Table II-5-1-2 Approach plates generally include visibility requirements up to category D. [ 1 ] : II-5-1-3 While ICAO specify a top speed of 391 km/h for Category E, there exist no aircraft with an approach speed above this.
Fuel capacity was increased to 213 US gallons (810 L). Even with the weight increase, single-engine performance improved and the stall speed decreased by a couple of knots. After this change, the plane was named the Cessna 402C. [4] [3] Production stopped after the 1985 model year.
The 175 was designed to fill a niche between the Cessna 172 and the slightly heavier, larger and faster Cessna 182.The engine of the 175, a reduction drive or geared version of the O-300 (Continental GO-300) used in the 172, is rated at 175 hp (130 kW), or 30 hp (22 kW) more than the engine offered in the contemporary 172.
