Join Adam in this practical and relaxed episode of The Flying Inkpot as we dive into one of the most useful tools for any instrument pilot—PAC settings: Power, Attitude, Configuration. Whether you're a student just beginning IFR training or a seasoned pilot looking to tighten up your approach flow, this episode breaks down phase-of-flight PAC targets for the trusty Cessna 172. Learn how to stabilize your descent, nail your approach, and execute a smooth missed—all using simple, repeatable settings. We’ll cover everything from cruise to circle-to-land and include Adam’s go-to numbers like 1700 RPM and 85 knots with 10° flaps. It’s all about building discipline, reducing workload, and flying with intention. Grab your kneeboard or download the free PAC handout, and let’s fly smarter—together.
