>>1743121I have high regard for the Cessna 172 ever since I was playing FS2020 and flying around Alaska. Three hours in, I accidentally into a snow storm along the Denali mountains and was forced to fly purely by instrument. I managed to find a local airport somewhere in the mountains, call for an emergency landing, and landed safely, purely by instrument until the last second when the iced runway became visible. I know it's only a vidya game but man did that feel epic.
If the real C172 Skyhawk is anything like the vidya game version then its modern avionics and instrumentation makes it easy for novices like me to fly as well as its very capable and forgiving handling characteristics
