In warm weather, one stroke of the primer should be sufficient. In temperatures near freezing, up to 3 strokes of the primer may be necessary.

  • Page 50: Taxiing

    CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY MODEL 152 4-12 TAXIING When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to a minimum and that all controls be utilized (see Taxiing Diagram, figure 4.2) to maintain directional control and balance.

  • Page 51: Before Takeoff

    CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY MODEL 152 4-13 Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller tips. The nose wheel is designed to automatically center straight ahead when the nose strut is fully extended.

  • Page 52: Takeoff

    CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY MODEL 152 4-14 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 run-up before another takeoff is attempted.

  • Page 53: Enroute Climb

    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.

  • Page 57: Cold Weather Operation

    CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY MODEL 152 4-19 COLD WEATHER OPERATION Prior to starting with temperatures below freezing, it is advisable to pull the propeller through several times by hand to “break loose” or “limber” the oil, thus conserving battery energy.

  • Page 58: Noise Abatement

    CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY MODEL 152 4-20 Without Preheat: The procedure for starting without preheat is the same as with preheat except the engine should be primed an additional three strokes just prior to pulling the propeller through by hand.

    Your Cessna Dealer has an Owner Follow-Up System to notify you when he receives information that applies to your Cessna. In addition, if you wish, you may choose to receive similar notification, in the form of Service Letters, directly from the Cessna Customer Services Department. A subscription form is supplied in your Customer Care Program book for your use, should you choose to request this service.

  • Page 130: Airplane File

    ENGINE AND ACCESSORIES o AVIONICS Your Cessna Dealer has a Customer Care Supplies Catalog covering all available items, many of which he keeps on hand. He will be happy to place an order for any item which is not in stock.

  • Page 131: Airplane Inspection Periods

    CESSNA PROGRESSIVE CARE The Cessna Progressive Care Program has been designed to help you realize maximum utilization of your airplane at a minimum cost and downtime. Under this program, the inspection and maintenance work load is divided into smaller operations that can be accomplished in shorter time periods.

  • Page 132: Cessna Customer Care Program

    100-hour inspection depending on which program you choose to establish for your airplane. While these important inspections will be performed for you by any Cessna Dealer, in most cases you will prefer to have the Dealer from whom you purchased the airplane accomplish this work.

  • Page 133: Ground Handling

    CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY MODEL 152 GROUND HANDLING TOWING The airplane is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand with the tow-bar attached to the nose wheel. When towing with a vehicle, do not exceed the nose gear turning angle of 30° either side of center, or damage to the gear will result.

  • Page 134: Leveling

    CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY MODEL 152 If nose gear maintenance is required, the nose wheel may be raised off the ground by pressing down on a tailcone bulkhead, just forward of the horizontal stabilizer, and allowing the tail to rest on the tail tie- down ring.

  • Page 135: Servicing

    Since Cessna Dealers conduct all service, inspection, and test procedures in accordance with applicable Service Manuals, it is recommended that you contact your Cessna Dealer concerning these requirements and begin scheduling your airplane for service at the recommended intervals.
