  1. Reversers activated in flight? Unlikely.

     

    More like total power loss, plane glided in missing the top of the perimeter fence, landed hard after stalling a few feet above ground, gear collapsed from the stall, slid on the engine nacellles and belly and stopped short of beginning of runway. With no undercarriage, it couldn't have slid further than that.

    I was told on my flight to LGK that the submarine came from India. Too bad I couldn't meet up with you in Langkawi. It was a rush trip for me.

     

    Nice pics, guys.

    Saw it still at Cargo Terminal last night when returning from LIMA. What a sight! My aircraft 9M-AFR passed close behind it taking Taxiway K from Rwy 14L to LCCT.

  5. Teoh,

     

    Think you're referring to the Mixture Control: this will regulate the fuel/air mixture into the engine cylinders...

    Maybe, Captain Attan can explain a bit better than me, if not yet clear ;)

     

    On the C172 you only need to ensure that

     

    1. the Master (Battery) Switch is on,

    2. the Mixture Control (red push/pull lever) is in RICH position i.e. fully forward

    3. the Carburettor Heat (a black lever next to the Mixture Control) is OFF

    4. and that the Throttle Control (black push/pull lever) is about half an inch open. (Fully forward is fully open and fully back is fully closed)

     

    and then you turn the Ignition Switch to Start position to start the engine.

     

    On the first flight of the day, you may need to prime the cylinders with fuel first so that there will be enough fuel mixture in the cylinders for the engine to fire. In all cases you must of course ensure that the Fuel Cock is open, otherwise no fuel will flow from the tanks to the carburettor. The C172 does not have a variable pitch propellor, so the Pitch Control lever (usually blue in colour) is not there.
