SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES PREFLIGHT INSPECTION The Preflight Inspection, described in Figure 4-1 and adjacent checklist, is required prior to each flight. If the airplane has been in extended storage, has had recent major maintenance, or has been operated from rough runways, a more extensive exterior inspection is recommended.
Page 121: Starting Engine
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES PREFLIGHT INSPECTION (Continued) If the airplane has been stored outside in windy or gusty areas, or tied down adjacent to taxiing airplanes, special attention should be paid to control surface stops, hinges, and brackets to detect the presence of potential wind damage.

Page 123: Leaning For Ground Operations
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES LEANING FOR GROUND OPERATIONS For all ground operations, after starting the engine and when the engine is running smoothly: 1. Set the Throttle Control to 1200 RPM. 2. Lean the mixture for maximum RPM.
Page 124 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III TAXIING (Continued) TAXIING DIAGRAM NOTE Strong quartering tail winds require caution. Avoid sudden bursts of the throttle and sharp braking when the airplane is in this attitude. Use the steerable nosewheel and rudder to maintain direction.
Page 125: Before Takeoff
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES BEFORE TAKEOFF WARM UP If the engine idles (approximately 600 RPM) and accelerates smoothly, the airplane is ready for takeoff. Since the engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight engine cooling, be careful to avoid overheating during prolonged engine operation on the ground.
Page 126: Elevator Trim
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III BEFORE TAKEOFF (Continued) ELEVATOR TRIM The elevator trim tab is in the takeoff position when the trim pointer is aligned with the index mark on the pedestal cover. Adjust the trim wheel during flight as necessary to make control wheel forces more neutral.
Page 127: Wing Flap Settings
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES TAKEOFF (Continued) WING FLAP SETTINGS Normal takeoffs use wing flaps UP - 10°. Using 10° wing flaps reduces the ground roll and total distance over an obstacle by approximately 10 percent. Flap deflections greater than 10° are not approved for takeoff.
Page 128: Enroute Climb
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III ENROUTE CLIMB Normal enroute climbs are performed with flaps up, at 75 - 85 KIAS and full throttle for the best combination of performance, visibility and engine cooling. The mixture should be full rich during climb at altitudes up to 3000 feet pressure altitude.
Page 129 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES CRUISE (Continued) The Cruise Performance Table, Figure 4-3, shows the true airspeed and nautical miles per gallon during cruise for various altitudes and percent powers, and is based on standard conditions and zero wind.

Page 134: Fuel Vapor Procedures
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III CRUISE (Continued) FUEL VAPOR PROCEDURES The engine fuel system can cause fuel vapor formation on the ground during warm weather. This will generally occur when the outside ambient air temperature is above 80°F.

Cessna 172S NAV III airplane. The cabin should be clean and all loose equipment (including the microphone and rear seat belts) should be stowed or secured.
Page 136 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III SPINS (Continued) It is recommended that entries be accomplished at high enough altitude that recoveries are completed 4000 feet or more above ground level. At least 1000 feet of altitude loss should be allowed for a 1-turn spin and recovery, while a 6-turn spin and recovery may require somewhat more than twice that amount.
Page 137 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES SPINS (Continued) Regardless of how many turns the spin is held or how it is entered, the following recovery technique should be used: 1. VERIFY THAT THROTTLE IS IN IDLE POSITION AND AILERONS ARE NEUTRAL.

Page 144: Cold Weather Operation
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III COLD WEATHER OPERATION Special consideration should be given to the operation of the airplane fuel system during the winter season or prior to any flight in cold temperatures. Proper preflight draining of the fuel system is especially important and will eliminate any free water accumulation.
Page 145: Winterization Kit
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS (Continued) Prior to starting on cold mornings, it is advisable to turn the propeller manually through several engine compression cycles by hand to loosen the oil, so the engine cranks (motors) more easily and uses less battery power.

Roll (ROL) mode - keeps the wings level, 2. Vertical Speed (VS) mode - holds the climb or descent rate at the moment the autopilot is engaged or a manually-set climb or descent rate.
Page 317 CESSNA SECTION 9 - SUPPLEMENTS MODEL 172S NAV III SUPPLEMENT 3 GENERAL (Continued) 6. Approach (APR) mode - locks on-course with greater sensitivity than NAV mode. APR mode is used to lock on the final approach course (to the Final Approach Fix) to start the final approach segment of the procedure.
Page 318 SECTION 9 - SUPPLEMENTS CESSNA SUPPLEMENT 3 MODEL 172S NAV III GENERAL (Continued) A locking device prevents the autopilot or MET from engaging until the autopilot computer has completed the preflight self-test sequence and finds that the system is not defective. The preflight self-test starts when the AVIONICS BUS 2 Switch is set to the ON position.
