There isn't a hard and fast rule on seat adjustments. > [!tip] From Jack > I typically teach the following for a [[Cessna 172]] or [[Piper Archer II]]: > - Seat should be high enough to see a bit of the cowling > - Seat should be forward enough that when fully depressing the rudder and brake, the knee has a slight bend > > Some people like to memorize how many 'rotations' of the height adjustment of a C172 is required for them, so they can easily reset it from all the way up or down.
