NORMAL PROCEDURES
CESSNA
MODEL
182S
lf
an
obstruction
ahead requires
a
steep climb angle,
a
best
angle of climb
air
speed
should be used with flaps
up
and
maximum
power.
This
speed
is 63 KIAS at sea level,
increasing
to
66 KIAS at
10,000
feet.
This type of climb should be of minimum duration
and
engine temperatures should
be
carefully monitored due
to the
low
climb
speed.
For maximum power,
the
mixture should
be set in
accordance
with the Maximum Power Fuel Flow placard.
CRUISE
Normal cruising
is
performed between
55% and 80%
rated
power with the mixture set
to
peak
EGT.
Manifold pressures
and
engine speed should normally be kept within the green arc
ranges
on
the
manifold pressure gauge and
tachometer.
However,
at
lower
altitudes and
at
high allowable cruise powers,
it
is
permissible to
use any
manifold
pressure note in the cruise
performance
chafts
in
Section
5.
NOTE
Cruising should
be
done
al
75"/" power
as
much
as
practicable
until
a total of 50
hours has accumulated
or
oil
consumption has stabilized. Operation
at this
higher
power
will ensure proper seating of the rings and is applicable
to
new
engines,
and
engines
in
service following
cylinder
replacement
or
top
overhaul of one or more cylinders.
The Cruise
Performance
charts in
Section
5
provide
the pilot
with
detailed information concerning
the cruise
performance
of the
Model
182S in still
air.
Power and altitude, as well as winds aloft, have
a
strong
influence
on the time and fuel
needed
to
complete
any
flight.
The
Cruise Performance table
of
Figure
4-3
illustrates some
of
these etfects and may
be
used
as a
guide along with winds aloft
information
in
selecting
an
altitude and power setting
for
a
given
trip.
The
selection
of cruise altitude on the
basis
of
most
favorable
wind conditions and
the
use of
the
lower power settings
consistent
with trip needs are significant factors which should be
considered
on every
trip
to
reduce
fuel
consumption.
