CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL 152 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION Section 3 provides checklist and amplified procedures for coping with emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by airplane or engine malfunctions are extremely rare if proper preflight inspections and maintenance are practiced. Enroute weather emergencies can be minimized or eliminated by careful flight planning and good judgment when unexpected weather is encountered.

Page 35: Recovery From A Spiral Dive
CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL 152 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 1. Apply full rich mixture. 2. Use full carburetor heat. 3. Reduce power to set up a 500 to 800 ft/min rate of descent. 4. Adjust the elevator trim for a stabilized descent at 70 KIAS.
Page 36: Rough Engine Operation Or Loss Of Power
CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL 152 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 6. AS ROTATION STOPS, NEUTRALIZE RUDDER, AND MAKE A SMOOTH RECOVERY FROM THE RESULTING DIVE. NOTE If disorientation precludes a visual determination of the direction of rotation, the symbolic airplane in the turn coordinator may be referred to for this information.
Page 37: Magneto Malfunction
CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL 152 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES MAGNETO MALFUNCTION A sudden engine roughness or misfiring is usually evidence of magneto problems. Switching from BOTH to either L or R ignition switch position will identify which magneto is malfunctioning. Select different power settings and enrich the mixture to determine if continued operation on BOTH magnetos is practicable.
Page 38: Insufficient Rate Of Charge
CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL 152 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Electronic components in the electrical system can be adversely affected by higher than normal voltage. The alternator control unit includes an over-voltage sensor that normally will automatically shut down the alternator if the charge voltage reaches approximately 31.5 volts.

Page 51: Before Takeoff
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 152 NORMAL PROCEDURES The carburetor heat control knob should be pushed full in during all ground operations unless heat is absolutely necessary. When the knob is pulled out to the heat position, air entering the engine is not filtered.
Page 52: Takeoff
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 152 NORMAL PROCEDURES TAKEOFF POWER CHECK It is important to check full-throttle engine operation early in the takeoff run. Any sign of rough engine operation or sluggish engine acceleration is good cause for discontinuing the takeoff. If this occurs, you are justified in making a thorough full-throttle static runup before another takeoff is attempted.
Page 53: Crosswind Takeoff
CRUISE Normal cruising is performed between 55% and 75% power. The engine RPM and corresponding fuel consumption for various altitudes can be determined by using your Cessna Power Computer or the data in Section 5. NOTE Cruising should be done at 65% to 75% power until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil consumption has stabilized.

No spins should be attempted without first having received dual instruction in both spin entries and spin recoveries from a qualified instructor who is familiar with the spin characteristics of the Cessna 152.
Page 56 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 152 NORMAL PROCEDURES It is recommended that, where feasible, 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 57: Landing
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 152 NORMAL PROCEDURES 1. VERIFY THAT AILERONS ARE NEUTRAL AND THROTTLE IS IN IDLE POSITION. 2. APPLY AND HOLD FULL RUDDER OPPOSITE TO THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION. 3. JUST AFTER THE RUDDER REACHES THE STOP, MOVE THE CONTROL WHEEL BRISKLY FORWARD FAR ENOUGH TO BREAK THE STALL.
Page 58: Crosswind Landing
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 152 NORMAL PROCEDURES effectiveness, retract the flaps, hold full nose-up elevator, and apply maximum brake pressure without sliding the tires. Slightly higher approach speeds should be used under turbulent air conditions. CROSSWIND LANDING When landing in a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting required for the field length.
Page 59: Throttle -- Open 1/2 Inch
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 152 NORMAL PROCEDURES NOTE Caution should be used to ensure the brakes are set or a qualified person is at the controls. 6. Mixture RICH. 7. Throttle OPEN 1/2 to 3/4 INCH. 8. Prime -- 2 to 4 STROKES depending on temperature.
Page 60: Noise Abatement
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 152 NORMAL PROCEDURES When operating in temperatures below -18°C, avoid using partial carburetor heat. Partial heat may increase the carburetor air temperature to the 0°C to 21°C range, where icing is critical under certain atmospheric conditions.

Page 65: Cruise
CESSNA SECTION 5 MODEL 152 PERFORMANCE CRUISE The cruising altitude should be selected based on a consideration of trip length, winds aloft, and the airplane's performance. A typical cruising altitude and the expected wind enroute have been given for this sample problem. However, the power setting selection for cruise must be determined based on several considerations.
Page 66 CESSNA SECTION 5 MODEL 152 PERFORMANCE 6000 feet requires 1 gallon of fuel. The corresponding distance during the climb is 9 nautical miles. These values are for a standard temperature (as shown on the climb chart' and are sufficiently accurate for most flight planning purposes. However, a further correction for the effect of temperature may be made as noted on the climb chart.

CESSNA SECTION 7 MODEL 152 AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS FLIGHT CONTROLS The airplane's flight control system (see figure 7-1) consists of conventional aileron, rudder, and elevator control surfaces. The control surfaces are manually operated through mechanical linkage using a control wheel for the ailerons and elevator, and rudder/brake pedals for the rudder.
Page 109: Ground Control
CESSNA SECTION 7 MODEL 152 AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS GROUND CONTROL Effective ground control while taxiing is accomplished through nose wheel steering by using the rudder pedals; left rudder pedal to steer left and right rudder pedal to steer right.
