Getting your wings with a Cessna 172 – Why is this aircraft better?
Around the world the most popular flight training aircraft is a Cessna plane. Beating the other aircrafts hands down, a Cessna plane has stood testament to time and held its ground as one of the most dependable and user friendly airplane in the industry. This is probably why numerous flight training schools around the world have taken it up for imparting pilot training to students. As an aspiring pilot I have been trained on the Cessna 172 and have found it to be extremely accommodating and user-friendly. The most interesting aspect of the Cessna 172 is its incredible civil utility.
Soaring to the skies for the first time in the year 1955, the Cessna has been in production from then on till now. Over the years the Cessna planes have earned their place as the most successful mass produced light aircraft in history of aviation. By 2008, a total of 43,000 Cessna planes had been sold to people around the world. This single engine, high wing, four-seater, fixed wing aircraft has been known to be one of the most efficient options for learning how to fly. Created by the Cessna Aircraft Company, the Cessna 172 has many variants that come with different features, however the most common elements that runs through all the Cessna planes is the ability of the plane to offer absolute ease and convenience to fliers. The ingenuity of the Cessna 172 and its solid design has allowed fliers to soar with greater confidence in the skies.
- The Cessna 172 has many features that give it an edge over the other planes. The primary elements that give it an advantage are –
Great Visibility
Two Door entry for easy access
Flower Flaps that allow short landings
Conventional Airfoil that does not stall abruptly
No Fuel Management required
Great Control
Incredible Stability
Sturdy attachment of the nose wheel to the rudder

A Cessna 172 plane is your best bet for pilot training and is your set of wings that will let you fly in ways you never thought possible. This is based on my experiences as a pilot training student at Chimes Aviation Academy (CAA – www.caaindia.com)

What are the advantages of becoming a pilot for the USAF, USMC, or USN?
I am going to be a pilot (preferably fixed wing) for one of them, but i would like to know which one is the best one to join? The best, meaning which branch is the easiest to become a fighter pilot, who has the most fighters, easiest flight school to get into, and which one has a better life (for officers)?
I know none of this is easy to accomplish, and i will do whatever it takes to make this dream possible. I do not mind staying on an aircraft carrier, though i prefer land.
thanks for the help!
Easy is not a part of any branch of service's pilot training. Each service has a different mission and with that a different style of flight training. The air force has I believed the most diverse types of missions, but you would be assigned with the needs of the service, and that seems to go hand in hand. Not everyone can be a fighter pilot. The marines are trained for carrier operations, but they to have a lot of different missions to do, they are also trained infantry. Yes they do it all. They will get down low and tangle with an opponent to protect the solders and marines who called them in for support. The navy does have the carriers and the carrier based aircraft. It is the most challenging type of flying known to exist, but again they have many types of aircraft and many different missions. If this is your goal, get to the first step, education. Then decide what you would like to do, all these services are proud and have tough standards, forget Top gun and the other movies it ain't like that... Good luck
