Touchdown! Greaser!
In all my extensive experience (a bit over 100hrs), I've only flown a Warrior.
I'm going to be making the transition to a 172 (specifically a 172S). I'll be getting with my CFI in a few weeks, but I'm doing my homework ahead of time.
I got a 172S information manual and have been looking through the w&b and performance charts to get a feel for the differences between the information in the PA28 book and the 172 book.
I noticed the only takeoff performance tables are for a short-field (10 deg flap) takeoffs. Did I just miss a footnote or something? Is there some information somewhere that shows distance requirements for no-flap takeoffs? Or is the implication that all takeoffs should use 10deg flaps?
Thanks,
Matt
