how to preflight a cessna 172R

[cessna lover]

Just as an aside to this I would note that I never soloed a student who wasn't capable of flying the pattern without an active ASI.
I advise all CFI's to teach this pre-solo.

well I do know from virtual experience it is hard to fly with out the airspeed indicator.

Not hard at all. It's all about pitch and power..

and sound. but also in real life you might be able to feel how fast your going? I'm not sure on that cause I'm not able to go through real training because of the costs

Well, I think A2A 172R has fairly good speed feedback via elevator, and it is rather easy to fly to landing without any reference to the airspeed, at least with my stick (TM Warthog). Cherokee is even easier. Bonanza is somewhat twitchy with my stick, but still doable.

In real life, you could, in principle, mark the yoke shaft in planes where it is visible, and the yoke position always corresponds to the same AoA, plus or minus some CoG variability. I don't, however, advise adding such 'illegal' markings.

The physical senses can be used as a reference for stall recognition. Pitch and power can be used to establish normal flight attitudes necessary for flight without a visual reference to an ASI. It's actually a combination of these things that are taught to be used together.
