It is controlled automatically by the FADEC, which makes a proper performance of the FADEC test important for safe flight operation.
  • Page 250 Supplement POH Reims/Cessna (F) 172 N&P with TAE 125-02-114 TAXIING When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to a minimum and that all controls be utilized to maintain directional control and balance. The alternate air door should always be pushed for ground operation to ensure that no unfiltered air is sucked in.

  • Page 252 Supplement POH Reims/Cessna (F) 172 N&P with TAE 125-02-114 CLIMB Normal climbs are performed with flaps up and full load and at speeds 5 to 10 knots/7 to 12 mph higher than best rate-of-climb speeds for the best combination of engine cooling, climb speed and visibility.
  • Page 253 Supplement POH Reims/Cessna (F) 172 N&P with TAE 125-02-114 COLD WEATHER OPERATION Special attention should be paid to operation of the aircraft and the fuel system in winter or before any flight at low tempera- tures. Correct preflight draining of the fuel system is particularly important and will prevent the accumulation of water.
  • Page 254 Supplement POH Reims/Cessna (F) 172 N&P with TAE 125-02-114 If snow or slush covers the take-off surface, allowance must be made for take-off distances which will be increasingly extended as snow or slush depth increases. The depth and consistency of this cover can, in fact, prevent take-off in many instances.

  • Page 257 Supplement POH Reims/Cessna (F) 172 N&P with TAE 125-02-114 CRUISE The cruising altitude should be selected based on a consideration of trip length, winds aloft and the airplanes 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.
