  • Page 66 SECTION 3 CESSNA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES MODEL 172R After an engine failure in flight, the most important course of action is to continue flying the airplane. Best glide speed as shown in Figure 3-1 should be established as quickly as possible. While gliding toward a suitable landing area, an effort should be made to identify the cause of the failure.

    SECTION 3 CESSNA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES MODEL 172R At the landing flare (round-out), the nose down moment resulting from power reduction is an adverse factor and the airplane may land on the nose wheel. Consequently, at flare, the elevator trim control should be adjusted toward the full nose up position and the power adjusted so that the airplane will rotate to the horizontal attitude for touchdown.

  • Page 73: Excessive Fuel Vapor Indications

    CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL 172R EMERGENCY PROCEDURES EXCESSIVE FUEL VAPOR INDICATIONS Excessive fuel vapor is most likely to be generated during ground operations when operating at higher altitudes, in unusually warm temperatures or with more volatile fuel blends. Operation at or near idle RPM (low fuel flow) for extended periods will increase the chances of fuel vapor generation.

  • Page 74: Electrical Power Supply System Malfunctions

    SECTION 3 CESSNA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES MODEL 172R ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS Malfunctions in the electrical power supply system can be detected by periodic monitoring of the ammeter and low voltage annunciator (VOLTS); however, the cause of these malfunctions is usually difficult to determine.

  • Page 94: Amplified Procedures

    SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES PREFLIGHT INSPECTION The Preflight Inspection, described in Figure 4-1 and adjacent checklist, is required prior to each flight. If the airplane has been in extended storage, has had recent major maintenance, or has been operated from marginal airports, a more extensive exterior inspection is recommended.

  • Page 95: Starting Engine

    CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES If the airplane has been operated from muddy fields or in snow or slush, check the main and nose gear wheel fairings for obstructions and cleanliness. Operation from a gravel or cinder field will require extra attention to propeller tips and abrasion on leading edges of the horizontal tail.

  • Page 96: Recommended Starter Duty Cycle

    SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R Should the engine tend to die after starting, turn on the auxiliary fuel pump temporarily and adjust the throttle and/or mixture as necessary to keep the engine running. In the event of over priming or flooding, turn off the auxiliary fuel pump, open the throttle from 1/2 to full open, and continue cranking with the mixture full lean.

  • Page 97: Leaning For Ground Operations

    CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES LEANING FOR GROUND OPERATIONS 1. For all ground operations, after starting the engine and when the engine is running smoothly: a. set the throttle to 1200 RPM. b. lean the mixture for maximum RPM. c.
  • Page 98 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R NOTE Strong quartering tail winds require caution. Avoid sudden bursts of the throttle and sharp braking when the airplane is in this situation. Use the steerable nose wheel and rudder to maintain direction. 0585X1020 Figure 4-2.

  • Page 99: Before Takeoff

    CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES BEFORE TAKEOFF WARM UP If the engine idles (approximately 600 RPM) and accelerates smoothly, the airplane is ready for takeoff. Since the engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight engine cooling, precautions should be taken to avoid overheating during prolonged engine operation on the ground.

  • Page 100: Landing Lights

    SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R LANDING LIGHTS If landing lights are to be used to enhance the visibility of the airplane in the traffic pattern or enroute, it is recommended that only the taxi light be used. This will extend the service life of the landing light appreciably.

  • Page 101: Wing Flap Settings

    CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES WING FLAP SETTINGS Normal takeoffs are accomplished with wing flaps 0°-10°. Using 10° wing flaps reduces the ground roll and total distance over an obstacle by approximately 10 percent. Flap deflections greater than 10° are not approved for takeoff. If 10° wing flaps are used for takeoff, they should be left down until all obstacles are cleared and a safe flap retraction speed of 60 KIAS is reached.

  • Page 102: Cruise

    SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R CRUISE Normal cruise is performed between 60% and 80% power. The engine RPM and corresponding fuel consumption for various altitudes can be determined by using the data in Section 5. NOTE Cruising should be done at 80% power as much as practicable until a total of 50 hours has accumulated or oil consumption has stabilized.

  • Page 104 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R NOTE The EGT indicator requires several seconds to respond to mixture adjustments and changes in exhaust gas temperature. More rapid changes in EGT indication are neither necessary nor desirable. Determining peak EGT and setting the desired mixture should take approximately one minute when the adjustments are made sufficiently slowly and accurately.

  • Page 105: Fuel Savings Procedures For Flight Training Operations

    CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES FUEL VAPOR PROCEDURES The engine fuel system can become susceptible to fuel vapor formation on the ground during warm weather. This will generally occur when the outside ambient air temperature is above 80°F. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that the engine fuel flows are lower at idle and taxi engine speeds.

  • Page 106: Stalls

    Cessna 172R. The cabin should be clean and all loose equipment (including the microphone and rear seat belts) should be stowed or secured.
  • Page 107 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES The normal entry is made from a power off stall. As the stall is approached, the elevator control should be smoothly pulled to the full aft position. Just prior to reaching the stall "break", rudder control in the desired direction of the spin rotation should be applied so that full rudder deflection is reached almost simultaneously with reaching full aft elevator.

  • Page 108: Landing

    SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R 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. Variations in basic airplane rigging or in weight and balance due to installed equipment or right seat occupancy can cause differences in behavior, particularly in extended spins.

  • Page 109: Short Field Landing

    CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES SHORT FIELD LANDING For a short field landing in smooth air conditions, make an approach at 62 KIAS with 30° flaps using enough power to control the glide path. (Slightly higher approach speeds should be used under turbulent air conditions.) After all approach obstacles are cleared, progressively reduce power and maintain the approach speed by lowering the nose of the airplane.

  • Page 110: Cold Weather Operation

    SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172R COLD WEATHER OPERATION Special consideration should be given to the operation of the airplane fuel system during the winter season or prior to any flight in cold temperatures. Proper preflight draining of the fuel system is especially important and will eliminate any free water accumulation.

  • Page 111: Winterization Kit

    CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172R NORMAL PROCEDURES When using an external power source, the master switch must be in the OFF position before connecting the external power source to the airplane receptacle. See Section 7, Ground Service Plug Receptacle for external power source operations. Cold weather starting procedures are the same as the normal starting procedures.
