Descending is generally the reverse of ascending.

We do a similar thing, only in this case lose altitude.

However, it is a bit difficult because subtracting engine power alone will not give us much.

The higher you fly, the earlier you have to start the descent phase.

After each gain of speed, the flight must be adjusted slightly to slow it down.

Remember that a civil aircraft cannot simply be directed vertically downwards and smoothed out spectacularly before landing.

PC

1 -Reduce engine power to about 1,800 rpm.

In a Cessna 152, your target is about 70 knots on a speedometer.

You should be descending at a vertical speed of about 200-300 feet per minute.

PC

Consider that further reduction or increase in engine power may be necessary.

Be sure to keep the aircraft in a stable position as it descends.

2 -Press the B key to calibrate the altimeter to the local pressure.Remember the flight plan notes.

In this case, we land at St. Johann, which is located 2200 meters above sea level.

Vertical speed is OK, but the main speed is a bit too high.
