MODEL 182Q
The muu.mum turning radius of the airplane, using differential
braking and nose wheel steering during taxi, is approximately 27 feet. To
obtain a minimum radius turn during ground handling, the airplane may
be rotated around either main landing gear by pressing down on a tailcone
bulkhead just forward of the horizontal stabilizer to raise the nose wheel
off the ground.
WING FLAP SYSTEM
The single-slot type wing flaps (see figure 7-3), are extended or
retracted by positioning the wing flap switch lever on the right side of the
switch and control panel to the desired flap deflection position. The switch
lever is moved up or down in a slotted panel that provides mechanical
stops at the 10° and 20° positions. For flap settings greater tlian 10°, move
the switch lever to the right to clear the stop and position it as desired. A
scale and pOinter on the left side of the switch lever indicates flap travel in
degrees. The wing flap system circuit is protected by a 15-amp push-to-
reset circuit breaker, labeled FLAP, on the left side of the switch and
control panel.
