Flight Characteristics
The Cessna 150 is simple, robust, and easy to fly. For these reasons it has become one of the world's most popular basic trainers.
Cockpit visibility is generally good other than directly above the aircraft, where the view is blocked by the wing. This obstruction is of particular concern when, as is the case with most high-wing aircraft, the inside-turn wing blocks vision in the direction of a turn. As a partial remedy to this some 150s, including all Aerobats, feature a pair of overhead skylights.
Due to its light weight and light wing loading (10 lb/sq ft), the aircraft is sensitive to turbulence.
Power-on and power-off stalls are easily controlled. Normal spin recovery techniques are highly effective.

Famous quotes containing the word flight:
“The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out.... Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
