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.

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

FUEL SYSTEM

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 1-5

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 batter y
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 panel. The cigar lighter is protected by a manually reset
type circuit breaker mounted directly on the back of the lighter behind
the instrument panel The remaining circuits are protected by push-to­reset circuit breakers on the instrument panel.

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

page 2-3

CABIN HEATING VENTILATING SYSTEM AND
DEFROSTING SYSTEM

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 passengers.

page 2-4

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 2-5

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 b y 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.

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

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.

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.

page 2-6

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

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

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 win g 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.

CLIMB

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 ALTITUDE TRUE A/S (mph

75 6,500 162
70 8,000 160
65 10,000 158

figure 2-3

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.

The cowl flaps should be adjusted to maintain the cylinder head
temperature near the middle of the normal operating (green arc) ran ge
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 passenger
comfort due to lower noise level.

page 2-8

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. An y
change in altitude, power or carburetor heat will require a change in
the lean mixture setting.

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.

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.

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.

Spins

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

LANDING

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.

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

CROSSWIND LANDINGS

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 br aking if
necessary.

COLD WEATHER OPEATION

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:

With preheat

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

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 210

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.

Section III

OPERATING LIMITATIONS

OPEATIONS AUTHORIZED

Your Cessna 182, with standard equipment as certified under FAA
Type Certificate 3A13 is approved for day and ni ght operation under
VFR.

Additional optional equipment is available to increase its utility and
to make it authorized under IFR day and night. An owner of a
properly equipped Cessna is eligible to obtain approval for its
operation on single-engine scheduled airline service under VFR.
Your Cessna Dealer will be happy to assist you in selecting
equipment best suited to your needs.

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 r emains normal
and steady, the airplane is ready for take-off

When operating sub-zero temperature, avoid using partial carbureto r
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.

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.

page 3-6

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 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 clean er. 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.

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 onl y a minimum
of care to keep them bright and cle an. 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 ma y be cleaned effecti vel y with an aircr aft
aluminum polish.

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

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 4-2

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.

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 manu facturer'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 panel 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.

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 factor y, 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.

Federal Air Regulations required that all airplanes have a periodic
(annual) inspection as prescribed by the administrator, and performed
a person designated by the administrator. 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.

AIRPLANE FILE

There are miscellaneous data, info rmation 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.

LUBRICATION AND SERVICING PROCEDURES

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

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 p apers (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.

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 re fueling, 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 4-6

page 4-7

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.

OPERATIONAL DATA

The operational data shown on the following pages are pr esented for
two purposes: first, so that you may know what to expect f rom your
airplane under various conditions, and second, to enable you to plan
your flights in detail and with reasonable accuracy.

AIRSPEED CORRECTION TABLE

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 fo r
wind, navigational error, warm-up, take-off, climb, etc. You must
estimate these variables for yourself and make allowances
accordingly.

Remember that the charts contained herein are based on standard da y
conditions. Form more precise power, fuel consumption, and
endurance information, consult the Cessna Flight Guide (Power
Computer) supplied with your aircraft. With the flight Guide, you
can easily take into account temperature variations from standard at
any flight altitude..

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. Contact your
Cessna Dealer for a complete list of available optional equipment.

LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS

Special wings with long-range fuel tanks are avail able to replace the
standard wings and fuel tanks for greater endurance and r ange. Wh en
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)

Page 5-9

GROUND SERVICE PLUG RECEPTACLE

A ground service plug receptacle may be installed to permit the use of
an external power source for cold w eather start ing and durin g len gthy
maintenance work on the electrical system.

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 du e 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.

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.

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

SPEAKER-PHONE SWITCHES

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

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 t he
autopilot. The up position selects the upper receiver in the radio
panel stack, and the down position selects the lower omni receiver.

page 6-3

OXYGEN SYSTEM – not installed

CESSNA ECONOMY MIXTUERE INDICATOR

NOTES
Changes in altitude or power setting require the EGT to be rechecked
and the mixture re-set

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

operation, except to establish peak EGT for reference. Op eration 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.
