*NOTE
Speed performance is shown for an airplane equipped with
speed fairings which increase the speeds by approximately
2 knots. There is a corresponding difference in range , while
all other performance figures are unchanged when speed
fairings are installed.
The above performance figures are based on airplane weights at
2550 pounds, standard atmospheric conditions , level, hard-surfaced
dry runways and no wind . They are calculated values derived from
flight tests conducted by The Cessna Aircraft Company under
carefully documented conditions and will vary with individual
airplanes and numerous factors affecting flight performance.
