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
function and
operation are
not
obvious
are
covered in Section
IL
Section
I
lists,
in
Pilot's
Check
List
form, the
steps necessary to
operate
your
airplane
efficiently and safely.
It is
not a check
list
in
its
true
form as
it
is considerably longer, but
it
does cover
briefly all
of
the
points that
you
should
know
for a
typical flight.
An
abbreviated check
list
covering the "Before Take~Off" and "Before Landing"
phases
of
aircraft
operation is
provided
on
a plastic card
and
normally
stowed in the map
compartment. This abbreviated
check
list
is
a convenient
reference
of
key
items
to be
rechecked immediately prior
to taxiing into
position for
take-off
and before entering the final approach
for
landing.
The flight
operational characteristics
of
your
airplane are normal
in all
respects.
There
are
no
"unconventional'
characteristics or oper-
ations that
need
to
be
mastered.
All
controls
respond in the
normal
way
within the
entiré
range
of
operation. All
airspeeds
mentioned in Sections
I,
II,
and
IIT
are
indicated
airspeeds.
Corresponding
calibrated airspeeds
may
be
obtained
from
the
Airspeed Correction
Table in Section
VI.
BEFORE
ENTERING
THE
AIRPLANE.
