Cessna v Piper

Hi Toujours..I hope this helps. Well, all the usual rules of airmanship still apply of course but I don't think you'll have any problems. If you are current I think a couple of hours instuction/supervision should be more than enough.

As usual, get to know the systems and numbers intimately. Also note that the Piper's flaps are mechanical and that fuel in the tanks can never reach the carb by gravity alone! Be careful with weight/balance calcs especially on Cadet/140 series and (at this stage) avoid those Piper singles with VP prop and retractable gear. (Nothing wrong with them but 1 step at a time!)

Enjoy!
