    What type of Cessna ? 152, 172 ? Various small engine have different flight speeds.

    Will there be a head wind or a tail wind, or even a cross wind, is so, how many knot wind is there.

    Is is the weight load of the plane ?

    I can't tell you what the load would be, because I don't know

    All of these things are used to calculate plane speed

    They will fly at about 100 to 124 miles per hour at top speeds, it is common to fly at about 80 percent of that. So figure about 90 to 100 mph. If there is a lot of wind in the other direction, it can slow the plane down greatly.
