CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT AMPLIFIED NORMAL 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 rough runways, a more extensive exterior inspection is recommended.
Page 130
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT PREFLIGHT INSPECTION (Continued) Outside storage for long periods may result in dust and dirt accumulation on the induction air filter, obstructions in airspeed system lines, water contaminants in fuel tanks, and insect/bird/rodent nests in any opening.
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT STARTING ENGINE In cooler weather, the engine compartment temperature drops off rapidly following engine shutdown and the injector nozzle lines remain nearly full of fuel. In warmer weather, engine compartment temperatures may increase rapidly following engine shutdown, and fuel in the lines will vaporize and escape into the intake manifold.
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT STARTING ENGINE (Continued) RECOMMENDED STARTER DUTY CYCLE Operate the starter motor for 10 seconds followed by a 20 second cool down period. This cycle can be repeated two additional times, followed by a ten minute cool down period before resuming cranking.
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT FUEL VAPOR PROCEDURES The engine fuel system can cause fuel vapor formation on the ground during warm weather. This will generally occur when the outside ambient air temperature is above 80°F. Vapor formation may increase when the engine fuel flows are lower at idle and taxi engine speeds.
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT TAXIING When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to a minimum and that all controls be utilized, refer to Figure 4-2, Taxiing Diagram, to maintain directional control and balance.
Page 135
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT TAXIING (Continued) TAXIING DIAGRAM NOTE Strong quartering tail winds require caution. Avoid sudden bursts of the throttle and sharp braking when the airplane is in this attitude. Use the steerable nosewheel and rudder to maintain direction.
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT BEFORE TAKEOFF WARM UP If the engine idles smoothly with the throttle against the idle stop, (approximately 675 RPM) and accelerates smoothly, the engine is ready for takeoff. Since the engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight engine cooling, the airplane should be pointed into the wind to avoid overheating during prolonged engine operation on the ground.
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT BEFORE TAKEOFF (Continued) ELEVATOR TRIM The elevator trim tab is in the takeoff position when the trim pointer is aligned with the index mark on the pedestal cover. Adjust the trim wheel during flight as necessary to make control wheel forces more neutral.
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT TAKEOFF (Continued) WING FLAP SETTINGS Normal takeoffs use wing flaps UP - 10°. Using 10° wing flaps reduces the ground roll and total distance over an obstacle by approximately 10 percent.
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT ENROUTE CLIMB Normal enroute climbs are performed with flaps up, at full throttle and 75 to 85 KIAS for the best combination of performance, visibility and engine cooling. The mixture should be full rich during climb at altitudes up to 3000 feet pressure altitude.
SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III KAP 140 AUTOPILOT CRUISE Normal cruise is performed between 45% and 75% power.

CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT LANDING NORMAL LANDING Normal landing approaches can be made with power on or power off with any flap setting within the flap airspeed limits.

If flap settings greater than 20° are used in sideslips with full rudder deflection, some elevator oscillation may be felt at normal approach speeds.
CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL 172S NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES KAP 140 AUTOPILOT COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS 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.
