C172 Wing tip Strike – Bank Angle?
Asked by: Garrett McCormack 3080 views Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Private Pilot
In applying for a CFI position at my collegiate flight program we were issued a comprehensive Written Exam to complete (think pre-solo written on a years supply of steroids). Out of 79 questions I could not find the answer to this one:
#3 At approximately what angle of bank would a wing tip strike occur with the main wheels on the ground? (Assuming a C172 fleet)
The exam is over (and was a ton of fun!) but I was wondering what you guys think the answer is and how you would go about finding it!
