Skycatcher: Cessna sings a new song

Here are videos and pictures of my 2 November flight out of the Tampa Executive Airport in the Cessna Skycatcher light sport aircraft. Teaching me about the two-seater was Cessna chief pilot for piston operations, Kirby Ortega.

Along with the YouTube videos (one for the ground portion, one in flight) is a Flickr slideshow and a presentation that Cessna provided, courtesy of Apture.

Note the interesting harmonious resonance the Skycatcher plays when you extend the flaps to 40deg, the configuration for landing (second video).

A longer story I wrote for Flight International magazine's 8 December issue is here.

Enjoy!
