In reference to Kagami's last, utterly informative post........
From the Cessna 172 Type data certificate 3A12
Skyhawk, 4 PCL-SM (Normal Category), 2 PCLM (Utility Category)
"This airplane must be operated in compliance with the operating limitations stated
in the form of placards, markings, and manuals.
NORMAL CATEGORY
Maximum design weight 2300 lbs.
Refer to weight and balance data for loading instructions.
Flight maneuvering load factors Flaps up +3.8 -1.52
Flaps down +3.5
No acrobatic maneuvers including spins approved.
UTILITY CATEGORY
Maximum design weight 2000 lbs.
Baggage compartment and rear seat must not be occupied.
Flight maneuvering load factors Flaps up +4.4 -1.76
Flaps down +3.5
No acrobatic maneuvers except those listed below.
Maneuver Max. Entry speed
Chandelles 122 mph (106 knots)
Lazy eights 122 mph (106 knots)
Steep turns 122 mph (106 knots)
Spins Slow deceleration
Stalls (except whip stalls) Slow deceleration"
.....
For the purposes of this section, aerobatic flight means an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude,
an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight.
Four people in the airplane put it in NORMAL Category...
The maneuver preformed to gain the reaction in the back seat was a stall which is not approved in that present configuration
Not only was the pilot unconcerned with his own safety but those in the aircraft that trusted him to give them a safe and pleasurable flight.
Stunts like this leave a black mark on the rest of us pilots who take our flying seriously.
The Cessna 172 is a workhorse and has been known to exceed those limits placed upon it by it makers,
but that kind of thoughtless maneuver to gain a few seconds of YouTube fame...
What had it been a bit turbulent or he hit an unexpected up / down draft?
He could have lost control of the A/C and probably killed all aboard...
Thoughtless completely thoughtless...
