[quote=Özcan;3070279]Hello!
What do you think about it? what do you think is the biggest traps and dangers when doing this? and what are your own experiences in this matter?
hi oz,
i would'nt worry about it.
they handle much the same but you are about to find out if you are a piper or cessna person.
some people like to sit on top of the wing...others to hang below it. of course there are little differences in handling and comfort ( overwing tend to slip as if in a saucer ) in bumpy/gusty conditions more so than planes where you sit underwing but then the view is better.
as far as the fuel is concerned you are right to be cautious especially in the pa28 but then you learned in that so less likely to forget the fuel selector ..than if you went from cessna to pa 28 ( as the cessna has a ''BOTH'' position for the selector) . however, even in the cessna you will be checking which thank is selected during your cruise checks ( even though you may be flying on ''both''... because some versions have a placard advising you to select right of left when above 5000...so you may not always be in the '' both '' position...and checking after that the fuel contents for the tank selected so i see no problem.
as 2112 said...after 10 hours in the 172 you'll wonder why you asked the question.
i would say 5 hours.
seems to me you are a responsible and diligent person about your flying...so get on with it and do'nt worry too much about the change.it will do you good. some people have to use different planes in their initial training and thats not always a bad thing.
if you are going to be a cessna person you wont want to go back....but thats a personal choice.
both are good aircraft....i happen to find cessnas a nicer kinda good...!!!!
. good luck and enjoy..
the dean.
