Performance; Noise Abatement - Cessna 150 COMMUTER 1976 Pilot Operating Handbook

CESSNA
MODEL 150M NORMAL PROCEDURES
During cold weather operations no indication will be a pparent on t he
oil temperature ga ge prior to takeoff if outside air temperatures are very
cold. After a suitable warm-up period (2 to 5 minutes at 1000 RPM), ac-
celerate the engine several times to higher engine RPM. If the engine ac-
celerates smoothly and the oil pressure remains normal and steady the
airplane is ready for takeoff '
When operation in sub- z ero temperature , avoid using partial carbure -
tor heat. Partial heat may increase the carburetor air temperature to the
O°C to 21°C range , where icing is critical under certain atmospheric con-
ditions.
NOISE ABATEMENT
Increased emphasis on improving the qua lity of our environment re-
quires renewed effort on the part of all pilots t o m inimize the effect of
airplane noise on the public.
We, as pilots, can demonstrate our con ce rn for environmental im-
provement, by application of the following s uggested procedures, and
thereby tend to build public support for aviation :
4-22
(1) Pilots operating aircraft under VFR over outdoor assemblies
of persons, recreational and par k a rea s , and other noise-sensitive
areas should make every effort to fly not less t han 2000 feet above
the surface, weather permitting, even though flight at a lower level
may be consistent with the provisions of government regulations.
(2) During departure from or a pproach to an a irport, climb after
takeoff and descent for landing s hould be made so as to avoid pro-
longed flight at low altitude near noise-sensitive a r eas.
NOT E
The above recommended procedu r e s do not apply where
they would conflict with Air Traffi c Cont rol clearances
or instructions, or where, in the pilot's judgment, an
altitude of les s than 2000 feet is nece s s a ry for him to
adequately exercise his duty to see and avoid other air-
craft.
