6. Turn the ignition and let the motor run for a few minutes to warm up. Start to slowly increase speed on the throttles, the Cessna's version of pedals. Push the wheel back using the hand grips on the wheel. The plane has to be at 120 knots, or 80 miles per hour, for it to take off

Tips & Warnings


  •  
    Monitor all parts near the landing gear, including the wheels and the propeller. Any of those parts can be damaged and cause an improper landing.


  •  
    Check the position of the engine. If it's sagging too low, it must be repaired before more serious damage occurs.


  •  
    Don't overload cargo on the plane. A Cessna 182 carries four passengers and up to 3,100 pounds at take off.


  •  
    Avoid bright light at least 30 minutes before night flying, or close one eye to preserve night vision in that eye.
