    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 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.

  • 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.
