Section I Operating Check List One of the first steps in obtaining the utmost performance, service, and flying enjoyment from your Cessna is to familiarize yourself with your airplane’s equipment, systems, and controls. This can best be done by reviewing this equipment while sitting in the airplane. Those items whose functions and operation are not obvious are covered in Section II Section I lists, in the Pilot’s Check List form, the steps necessary to operate your airplane efficiently and safely. It is not a checklist in its true form as it is considerably longer, but it does cover briefly all of the points that you would want to or should know concerning the information you need for a typical flight. The flight and operation characteristics of your airplane are normal in all respects. There are no unconventional characteristics or operations that need to be mastered. All controls respond in the normal way within the entire range of operation. All airspeeds mentioned in Sections I and II are indicated airspeeds. Corresponding calibrated airspeeds may be obtained from the Airspeed Correction Table in Section V.

Section II Description and Operating Details The following paragraphs describe the systems and equipment whose function and operation is not obvious when sitting in the airplane. This section also covers in somewhat greater detail some of the items listed in checklist form in Section I

Mixture – Idle Cut-off NOTE Do not open throttle as engine stops since this actuates the accelerator pump. 2. All Switches – Off 3. Parking Brake – Set 4. Control Lock – Installed

page 1-5

Fuel is supplied to the engine from two tanks, one in each wing. The total usable fuel, for all flight conditions, is 79 gallons for optional long-range tanks. NOTE Unusable fuel is at a minimum due to the design of the fuel system. However, with ¼ tank or less, prolonged uncoordinated flight, such as slips or skids can uncover the fuel tank outlets, causing fuel starvation and engine stoppage when operating on a single tank. Therefore, to avoid this problem with low fuel reserves, the fuel selector should be set at BOTH position. Fuel from each wing taken flows by gravity to a selector valve. Depending upon the setting of the selector valve, fuel from the left, right, or both tanks flows through a fuel strainer and carburetor to the engine induction system.

page 2-1

NOTE Take off with the fuel selector valve handle in the BOTH position to prevent inadvertent take-off on an empty tank. However, when the selector is in the BOTH position, unequal fuel flow from each tank may occur after extended flight if the wings are not maintained exactly level. Resulting wing heaviness can be alleviated gradually by turning the selector valve handle to the tank in the heavy wing. The recommended cruise fuel management for extended flight is to use the left and right tank alternately. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Electrical energy is supplied by a 14-volt, direct-current system, powered by an engine-driven alternator. The 12-volt storage battery is located aft of the rear baggage compartment wall. CIRCUIT BREAKERS

All electrical circuits in the airplane, except the clock circuit, are protected by circuit breakers. The clock has a separate fuse mounted adjacent to the battery. The stall warning transmitter and horn circuit and the optional turn-and-bank indicator circuits are protected by a single automatically resetting circuit breaker mounted behind the instrument . The cigar lighter is protected by a manually reset type circuit breaker mounted directly on the back of the lighter behind the instrument The remaining circuits are protected by push-toreset circuit breakers on the instrument . ROTATING BEACON

The rotating beacon should not be used when flying through clouds or overcast; the moving beams reflected from water droplets or particles in the atmosphere, particularly at night, can produce vertigo and loss of orientation. page 2-2

CABIN HEATING VENTILATING DEFROSTING SYSTEM

SYSTEM

AND

The temperature and volume of airflow into the cabin can be regulated to any degree desired by manipulation of the push-pull CABIN HEAT and CABIN AIR knobs. Both control knobs are the double-button type with friction locks to permit intermediate settings. NOTE Always pull out the CABIN AIR knob slightly when the CABIN HEAT knob is out. This action increases airflow through the system, increasing efficiency, and blends cool outside air with the exhaust manifold heated air, thus eliminating the possibility of overheating the system ducting. The rotary type DEFROST know regulates the airflow for windshield defrosting Front cabin head and ventilating air is supplied by outlet holes spaced across a cabin manifold just forward of the pilot’s and copilot’s feet. Rear cabin heat and air is supplied by two ducts from the manifold, one extending down each side of the cabin. Windshield defrost air is also supplied by a duct leading from the cabin manifold. Separate adjustable ventilators supply additional air;; one near each upper corner of the windshield supplies air for the pilot and copilot, and two in the rear cabin ceiling supply air to the rear seat engers.

figure 2-2 NOTE: Strong quartering tailwinds require caution. Avoid sudden bursts of the throttle and sharp braking when the airplane is in this attitude. Use the steerable nose-wheel and rudder to maintain direction

page 2-4

page 2-5

STARTING ENGINE Ordinarily the engine starts easily with one or two strokes of primer in warm temperatures to six strokes in cold weather, with the throttle open approximately 1/2 inch. In extremely cold temperatures, it may be necessary to continue to priming while cranking. Weak intermittent explosions followed by puffs of black smoke from the exhaust stack indicates overpriming or flooding. Excess fuel can be cleaned from the combustion chambers by the following procedure: Set the mixture control in full lean position, throttle full open, and crank the engine trough several revolutions with the starter. Repeat the starting procedure without any additional priming. If the engine is underprimed (most likely in cold weather with a cold engine) it will not fire at all, and additional priming will be necessary. As soon as the cylinders begin to fire, open the throttle slightly to keep it running.

Full throttle checks on the ground are not recommended unless the pilot has good reason to suspect that the engine is not turning up properly. The magneto check should be make at 1700 RPM as follows: Move the ignition switch first to "R" position and note RPM. Then move switch back to "BOTH" to clear the other set of plugs. Then move switch to "L" position and note RPM. The difference between the two magnetos operated individually should not be more than 50 RPM. If there is a doubt concerning the operation of the ignition system, RPM checks at higher engine speeds will usually confirm whether a deficiency exists An absence of RPM drop may be an indication of faulty grounding of one side of the ignition system or should be cause for suspicion that the magneto timing is set in advance of the setting specified. TAKE-OFF

If prolonged cranking is necessary, allow the starter motor to cool at frequent intervals, since excessive heat may damage the armature TAXIING The carburetor air heat know should be pushed full in during all ground operations unless is absolutely necessary for smooth engine operations. When the know is pulled out to the heat position, air entering the engine is not filtered Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller tips BEFORE TAKEOFF Since the engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight-cooling, precautions should be taken to avoid overheating on the ground.

It is important to check full-throttle engine operation early in the takeoff run. Any signs of rough engine operation or sluggish engine acceleration is good cause for discontinuing the take-off. Full throttle runups over loose gravel are especially harmful to propeller tips. When take-offs must be made over a gravel surface, it is very important that the throttle be advanced slowly. This allows the airplane to start rolling before high RPM is developed, and the gravel will be blow back of the propeller rather than pulled into it. Most engine wear occurs from improper operations before the engine is up to normal operating temperatures, and operating at high power and RPMs. For this reason the use of maximum power for take-off should be limited to that absolutely necessary for safety. Whenever possible, reduce take-off power to normal climb power. page 2-7

page 2-6

Normal take-offs are accomplished with wing flaps up, cowl flaps open, full throttle, and 2600 RPM. Reduce power to 23" of manifold pressure and 2450 RPM as soon as practical to minimize engine wear. Using 20º wing flaps reduces the ground run and total distance over the obstacle by approximately 20 per cent. soft field take-offs are performed with 20º flaps by lifting the airplane off the ground as soon as practical in a slightly tail-low attitude. However the airplane should be leveled off immediately to accelerate to a safe climb speed. If 20º wing flaps are used for take-off, they should be left down until all obstacles are cleared. To clear an obstacle with wing flaps 20º , the best angle-of-climb speed (60 MPH IAS) should be used. If no obstructions are ahead, a best "flaps up" rate-of-climb sped (90MPH IAS) would be most efficient. These speeds vary slightly with altitude, but they are close enough for average field conditions Flap deflections of 30º to 40º are not recommended at any time for takeoff. Take-offs into strong crosswinds normal are performed with the minimum flap setting necessary for the field length, to minimize the drift angle immediately after take-off. The airplane is accelerated to a speed slightly higher than normal, then pull off abruptly to prevent possible settling back to the runway while drifting. When clear of the ground, make a coordinated turn into the wind to correct for drift.

If it is necessary to climb rapidly to clear mountains or reach favorable winds at high altitudes, the best rate-of-climb speed should be used with maximum power. This speed is 88 MPH at sea level, decreasing 2 MPH for each 5000 feet above sea level. CRUISE Normal cruising is done at 65% to 75% power. The settings required to obtain these powers at various altitudes and outside temperatures can be determined by using your Cessna Power Computer. OPTIMUM CRUISE PERFORMANCE % BHP

162 160 158

The Optimum Cruise Performance table (figure 2-3), shows that cruising cane done most efficiently at higher altitudes because very nearly the same cruising speed can be maintained at much less power. For a given throttle setting, select the lowest engine RPM in the green arc range that will give smooth engine operation.

CLIMB

The cowl flaps should be adjusted to maintain the cylinder head temperature near the middle of the normal operating (green arc) range to assure prolonged engine life.

A cruising climb at 23" of manifold pressure, 2450 RPM (approximately 75% power) and 100 to 120 MPH is recommended to save time and fuel for the overall trip. In addition, this type of climb provides better engine cooling, less engine wear, and more enger comfort due to lower noise level.

to achieve the range figures shown in Section V, the mixture should be leaned as follows: pull the mixture control out until engine becomes rough; then enrich mixture slightly beyond this point. Any change in altitude, power or carburetor heat will require a change in the lean mixture setting.

page 2-8

page 2-9

Application of full carburetor heat may enrich the mixture to the point of engine roughness. To avoid this, lean the mixture as instructed in the preceding paragraph. CROSSWIND LANDINGS

STALLS The stall characteristics are conventional and aural warning is provided by a stall warning horn which sounds between 5 and 10 PMH above the stall in all configurations.

When landing is a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting required for the field length. Use a wing low, crab, or combination method of drift correction and land in a nearly level attitude. Hold a straight course with the steerable nosewheel and occasional braking if necessary.

Power-off stall speeds at maximum gross weight and aft c.g. position are presented in figure 5-2 as calibrated airspeeds since indicated airspeeds are unreliable near the stall.

COLD WEATHER OPEATION

Spins Intentional spins are prohibited in this airplane. Should an inadvertent spin occur, standard light plane recovery techniques should be used.

Prior to starting on clod mornings, it is advisable to pull the propeller through several times by hand to "break loose" or "limber" the oil, thus conserving battery energy. In extremely cold (-20ºF) weather the use of an external preheater is recommended whenever possible to reduce wear and abuse to the engine and electrical system. Cold weather starting procedures are as follows:

LANDING With preheat Landings are usually made on the main wheels first to reduce the landing speed and the subsequent need for braking in the landing roll. The nosewheel is lowered gently to the runway after the speed has diminished to avoid unnecessary nose gear load. This procedure is especially important in rough field landings.

1. Clear propeller 2. Master Switch -- On 3. With magneto switch "OFF" and throttle closed, prime the engine four to ten strokes as the engine is being turned over NOTE

For short field landings, make a power off approach at 69 MPH, IAS with 40º flaps and land on the main wheels first. Immediately after touchdown, lower the nose gear to the ground and apply heavy braking as required. For maximum brake effectiveness, after all three wheels are on the ground, retract the flaps, hold nose-up elevator and apply maximum brake pressure without sliding the tires

page 210

Use heavy strokes of primer for best atomization of fuel. After priming, push primer all the way in and turn to locked position to avoid possibility of engine drawing fuel through the primer. 4. Turn magneto switch to "Both" 5. Open throttle to 1/4" and engage starter

page 2-11

Without preheat 1. Prime the engine 8 to 10 heavy strokes while the propeller is being turn by hand. 2. Clear propeller 3. Pull the master switch "On" 4. Turn magneto switch to "Both" 5. Open throttle 1/4" 6. Pull carburetor air heat knob to full on 7. Engage the starter and continue to prime engine until it is running smoothly 8. Keep carburetor heat on until engine has warmed up. NOTE

If the engine does not start the first time it is probable that the spar plugs have been frosted over. Preheat must be used before another start is attempted. During cold weather operation, no indication will be apparent on the oil temperature gauge prior to take of if outside air temperatures are very cold. After a suitable warm-up period (2 to 5 minutes at 1000 RPM) accelerate the engine several times to higher engine RPM. If the engine accelerates smoothly and the oil pressure remains normal and steady, the airplane is ready for take-off When operating sub-zero temperature, avoid using partial carburetor heat. Partial heat may increase the carburetor air temperature to the 32º to 80ºF range, where icing is critical under certain atmospheric conditions. An optional winterization kit is available for use when operating to temperatures below 20º F.

Section III OPERATING LIMITATIONS OPEATIONS AUTHORIZED Your Cessna 182, with standard equipment as certified under FAA Type Certificate 3A13 is approved for day and night operation under VFR.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE The following information will enable you to operate your Cessna within the prescribed weight and center of gravity limitations. To figure the weight and balance for your particular airplane, use the Sample Problem, Loading Graph, and Center of Gravity Moment Envelope as follows: Take the licensed Empty Weight and Moment/1000 from the Weight and Balance Data Sheet, plus any changes noted on forms FAA-337 carried in your airplane, and write them down in the proper columns. Using the Loading Graph, determine the moment/1000 of each item to be carried. Total the weights and moments/1000 and use the Center of Gravity Moment Envelope to determine whether the point falls within the envelope and if the loading is acceptable.

Section IV CARE OF THE AIRPLANE If your airplane is to retain that new plane performance, stamina, and dependability, certain inspection and maintenance requirements must be followed. It is always wise to follow a planned schedule of lubrication and maintenance based on the climatic and flying conditions encountered in your locality. Keep in touch with your Cessna dealer, and take advantage of his knowledge and experience. He knows your airplane and how to maintain it. He will remind you when lubrications and oil changes are necessary and about outer seasonal and periodic services. GROUND HANDLING The airplane is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand with a tow-bar attached to the nose wheel NOTE

When using the tow-bar, never exceed the turning angle of 29º either side of center, or damage to the gear will result. MOORING YOUR AIRPLANE Proper tie-down is the best precaution against damage to your parked airplane by gusty or strong winds. To tied down your airplane securely, proceed as follows: 1. Set parking brake and install control wheel lock 2. Install a surface control lock between each aileron and flap 3. Tie sufficiently strong ropes or chains (700 pounds tensile strength) to wing, and tail tail-down fittings and secure each rope to ramp tie-down 4. Install a pitot tube cover page 3-6

page 4-1

WINDSHIELD - - WINDOWS The plastic windshield and windows should be kept clean and waxed at all times. To prevent scratches and crazing, wash them carefully with plenty of soap and water, using the palm of the hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft cloth, chamois or sponge may be used, but only to carry water to the surface. Rinse thoroughly, then dry with a clean moist chamois. Rubbing the surface of the plastic with a dry cloth builds up an electrostatic charge so that it attracts dust particles in the air. Wiping with a moist chamois will remove both the dust and this charge Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with kerosene. Never use gasoline, benzine, alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher or anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner or glass cleaner. These materials will soften the plastic and may cause it to craze. After removing dirt and grease, if the surface is not badly scratched, it should be waxed with a good grade of commercial wax. The wax will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further scratching. Apply a thin even coat of was and bring it to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry, soft flannel cloth. Do not use a power buffer; the heat generated by the buffing pad may soften the plastic.

After cleaning and periodically thereafter, waxing with a good automotive was will preserve the bright appearance and retard corrosion. Regular waxing is especially recommended for airplanes operated in salt-water areas as a protection against corrosion. PAINTED SURFACES The painted surfaces of your new Cessna require an initial curing period which may be as long as 90 days after the finish is applied. During this curing period some precautions should be taken to avoid damaging the finish or interfering with the curing process. The finish should be cleaned only by washing with clean water and mild soap, followed by a rinse with water and drying with cloths or a chamois. Do not use polish or wax, which would exclude air from the surface, during this 90-day curing period. Do not rub or buff the finish and avoid flying through rain, sleet or hail. Once the finish has cured completely, it may be waxed with a good automotive wax. A heavier coating of was on the leading edges of the wings and tail and on the engine nose cap and propeller spinner will help reduce the abrasion encountered in these areas. PROPELLER CARE

Do not use a canvas cover on the windshield unless freezing rain or sleet is anticipated. Canvas covers may scratch the plastic surface. ALUMINUM SURFACES The clad aluminum surfaces of your Cessna require only a minimum of care to keep them bright and clean. The airplane may be washed with clear water to remove dirt; oil and grease may be removed with gasoline, naphtha, carbon tetrachloride or other non-alkaline solvents. Dulled aluminum surfaces may be cleaned effectively with an aircraft aluminum polish. page 4-2

Preflight inspection of propeller blades for nicks, and wiping them occasionally with an oily cloth to clean off grass and bug stains will assure long, trouble-free service. It is vital that small nicks on the propellers, particularly near the tips and on the leading edges, are dressed out as soon as possible since these nicks produce stress concentrations, and if ignored, may result in cracks. Never use an alkaline cleaner on the blades. Remove grass and dirt with carbon tetrachloride or Stoddard solvent.

page 4-3

INTERIOR CARE

INSPECTION SERVICE AND INSPECTION PERIODS

To remove dust and loose dirt from the upholstery, headliner, and carpet, clean the interior regularly with a vacuum cleaner.

With your airplane you will receive an Owner's Service Policy. Coupons attached to the policy entitle you to an initial inspection and the first 100-hour inspection at no charge. If you take delivery from your Dealer, he will perform the initial inspection before delivery of the airplane to you. If you pick up the airplane at the factory, plan to take it to your Dealer reasonably soon after you take deliver on it. This will permit him to check it over and to make any minor adjustments that may appear necessary. Also, plan an inspection by your Dealer at 100 hours or 90 days, which ever comes first. This inspection also is performed by your Dealer for you at no charge. While these important inspections will be performed for you by any Cessna Dealer, in most cases you will prefer to have the Dealer from whom you purchased the airplane accomplish this work.

Blot up any spilled liquid promptly, with cleansing tissue or rags. Don’t pat the spot; press the blotting material firmly and hold it for several seconds. Continue blotting until no more liquid is taken up. Scrape off sticky materials with a dull knife, then spot-clean the area. Oily spots may be cleaned with household spot removers used sparingly. Before using any solvent, read the instructions on the container and test it on an obscure place on the fabric to be cleaned. Never saturate the fabric with a volatile solvent; it may damage the padding and backing materials. Soiled upholstery and carpet may be cleaned with foam-type detergent, and used according to the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize wetting the fabric, keep the foam as dry as possible and remove it with a vacuum cleaner, The plastic trim, instrument and control knobs need only be wiped off with a damp cloth. Oil and grease on the control wheel and control knobs can be removed with a cloth moistened with kerosene. Volatile solvents, such as mentioned in paragraphs on care of the windshield, must never be used since they soften the craze the plastic.

page 4-4

Federal Air Regulations required that all airplanes have a periodic (annual) inspection as prescribed by the , and performed a person designated by the . In addition, 100-hour periodic inspections made by an "appropriately-rated mechanic" are required if the airplane is flown for hire. The Cessna Aircraft Company recommends the 100-hour periodic inspection for your airplane. The procedure for this 100-hour inspection has been carefully worked out by the factory and is followed by the Cessna Dealer Organization. The complete familiarity of the Cessna Dealer Organization with Cessna equipment and factory-approved procedures provides the highest type of service possible at lower cost.

page 4-5

AIRPLANE FILE LUBRICATION AND SERVICING PROCEDURES There are miscellaneous data, information and licenses that are a part of the airplane file. The following is a checklist for that file. In addition, a periodic check should be made of the latest Civil Air Regulations in insure that all data requirements are met. 1) To be displayed in the airplane at all times: a) Aircraft Airworthiness Certificate (Form FAA-1362) b) Aircraft Registration Certificate (Form FAA -500A) c) Airplane Radio Station License (Form FCC-404, if transmitter installed) 2) To be carried in the airplane at all times a) Weight and Balance, and associated papers (latest copy of the Repair and Alteration Form, FAA-337 if applicable) b) Airplane Equipment List 3) To be made available upon request: a) Airplane Log Book b) Engine Log Book NOTE Cessna recommends that these items, plus the Owner's Manual and the 'Cessna Flight Guide" (Flight Computer) be carried in the airplane at all times. Most of the items listed are required by the United States Federal Aviation regulations. Since the regulations of other nations may require other documents and data, owners of exported airplanes should check with their own aviation officials to determine their individual requirements.

Specific servicing information is provided here for items requiring daily attention. A Service Frequency checklist is included to inform the pilot when to have other items checked and serviced DAILY Fuel Tank Filler Service after each flight with 80/87 minimum grade fuel. The capacity of each wing tank is 42.0 gallons with optional long-range tanks Fuel Strainer On the first flight of the day and after each refueling, drain for about four seconds, to clear fuel strainer of possible water and sediment. Turn the drain knob, then check that strainer drain is close after draining. Oil Dipstick Check oil level before each flight. Do not operate on less than 9 quarts. To minimize loss of oil through breather, fill to 10-quart level for normal flights of less than 3 hours. For extended flight, fill to 12 quarts. If optional oil filter is installed, one additional quart is required when the filter element is changed.

page 4-7 page 4-6

Oil Filler When preflight check shows low oil level, service with aviation grade engine oil: SAE 20 below 40ºF and SAE 40 above 40ºF. Your Cessna was delivered from the factory with straight mineral oil (nondetergent) and should be operated with straight mineral oil for the first 25 hours. The use of mineral oil during the 25-hour break-in period will help seat the piston rings and will result in less oil consumption. After the first 25 hours, either mineral oil or detergent oil may be used. If a detergent oil is used, it must conform to Continental Motors Corporation Specification MHS-24. Your Cessna Dealer can supply an approved brand.

Section V OPERATIONAL DATA The operational data shown on the following pages are presented for two purposes: first, so that you may know what to expect from your airplane under various conditions, and second, to enable you to plan your flights in detail and with reasonable accuracy. The data in the charts has been compiled from actual flight tests with the airplane and engine in good condition and using average piloting techniques. Note also that the range charts make on allowances for wind, navigational error, warm-up, take-off, climb, etc. You must estimate these variables for yourself and make allowances accordingly.

Section VI OPTIONAL SYSTEMS This section contains a description, operating procedures, and performance data (when applicable) for some of the optional equipment which may be installed in your Cessna. Owner’s Manual Supplements are provided to cover operation of other optional equipment systems when installed in your airplane. your Cessna Dealer for a complete list of available optional equipment. LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS Special wings with long-range fuel tanks are available to replace the standard wings and fuel tanks for greater endurance and range. When these tanks are installed, the total usable fuel, for all flight conditions is 79 gallons. COLD WEATHER EQUIPMENT WINTERIZATION KIT AND NON-CONGELALING OIL COOLER (not installed) GROUND SERVICE PLUG RECEPTACLE A ground service plug receptacle may be installed to permit the use of an external power source for cold weather starting and during lengthy maintenance work on the electrical system.

Page 5-9

Before connecting a generator type external power source, it is important that the master switch be turned on. This will enable the battery to absorb transient voltages which otherwise might damage the semiconductors in the electronic equipment. When using a battery type external power source, the master switch should be turned off to prevent an unnecessary power drain form the power source batteries to the airplane’s battery. page 6-1

IMPORTANT Be certain that the polarity of any external power source or batteries is correct (positive to positive and negative to negative). A polarity reversal will result in immediate damage to semiconductors in the airplane’s electronic equipment. OIL DILUTION SYSTEM (not installed) STATIC PRESSURE ALTERNATE SOURCE A static pressure alternate source valve may be installed in the static system for use when the external static sources are malfunctioning. This valve also permits draining condensate from the static lines. If erroneous instrument reading are suspected due to water or ice in the static pressure lines, the static pressure alternate source valve should be opened, thereby supplying static pressure from the cabin. Cabin pressures will vary, however, with open cabin ventilators or windows. The most adverse combinations will result in airspeed and altimeter variations of no more than 2 mph and 20 feet respectively. SPEAKER-PHONE SWITCHES RADIO SELECTOR SWITCHES RADIO SELECTOR SWITCH OPERATION Operation of the radio equipment is normal as covered in the respective radio manuals. When more than one radio is installed, an audio switching is necessary. The operation of this switching system is described below.

The speaker-phone switches determine whether the output of the receiver is use is fed to the headphones or through the audio amplifier to the speaker. Place the switch for the desired receiving system either in the up position for speaker operation or in the down position for headphones AUTOPILOT –OMNI SWITCH

TRANSMITTER SELECTOR SWITCH The transmitter selector switch has two positions. When two transmitters are installed, it is necessary to switch the microphone to the radio unit the pilot desires to use for transmission. This is accomplished by placing the transmitter selector switch in the position corresponding to the radio unit which is to be used. page 6-2

When a Nav-O-Matic autopilot is installed with two compatible omni receivers, an autopilot-omni switch is utilized. This switch select the omni receiver to be used for the omni course sensing function of the autopilot. The up position selects the upper receiver in the radio stack, and the down position selects the lower omni receiver. page 6-3

OXYGEN SYSTEM – not installed CESSNA ECONOMY MIXTUERE INDICATOR The Cessna Economy Mixture Indicator is an exhaust gas temperature sensing device which is used to aid the pilot in selecting the most desirable fuel-air mixture for cruising flight at less than 75% power. Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) varies with the ratio of fuel-to-air mixture entering the engine cylinders. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. In take-off and full power climb, use full rich mixture 2. In level flight (or cruising climb at less than 75% power), lean the mixture to peak EGT; then enrichen as desire using the following table as a guide MIXTURE DESCRIPTION

NOTES Changes in altitude or power setting require the EGT to be rechecked and the mixture re-set Operation at peak EGT is not authorized for normal continuous operation, except to establish peak EGT for reference. Operation on the lean side of peak EGT or within 25° of peak EGT is not approved. 3. Use rich mixture (or mixture appropriate for field elevation) in idle descents or landing approaches. Leaning techniques for cruise descents may be with EGT reference method (at least every 5000 feet) or by simply enriching to avoid engine roughness if numerous power reductions are made.

TRUE AIRSPEED INDICATOR A true airspeed indicator is available to replace the standard airspeed indicator in your airplane. The true airspeed indicator ha a calibrated rotatable ring which works in conjunction with the airspeed indicator dial in a manner similar to the operation of a flight computer. To obtain True airspeed, rotate ring until pressure altitude is aligned altitude is aligned with outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Then read true airspeed on rotatable ring opposite airspeed needle. NOTE Pressure altitude should not be confused with indicated altitude. To obtain pressure altitude, set barometric scale on altimeter to 29.92” and read pressure altitude on altimeter. Be sure to return altimeter barometric scale to original barometric setting after pressure altitude has been obtained. page 6-5
