3. Landing Gear - UP.
b. Approach at 105 KIAS with IS" wing flaps.
c.
All
Switches Except
M~gneto
Switches - OFF.
d. Land in a slightly nose-high attitude.
e. Mixtures - 10LE CUT-OFF.
f. Magneto Switches - OFF.
g. Fuel Selectors - OFF (Feel For Detent).
h. Emergency Crossfeed Shutoff - OFF (Pull Up).
LANDING WITHOUT FLAPS (0"
Extension)
1. Mixtures - FULL RICH or lean as requ; red for smooth operation.
2. Propellers - FULL FORWARD.
3. Fuel Selectors - MAIN TANKS (Feel For Detent).
4. Minimum Approach Speed - 108 KIAS (See Figure 5-25).
5. Landing Gear - DOWN.
DITCHING
1. Landing Gear - UP.
2. Plan approach into wind
if
winds are high and seas are heavy. With
heavy swells and light wind, land parallel to swells, being careful
not to allow wing tips to hit first.
3. Wing Flaps - DOWN 45".
4. Carry sufficient power to maintain approximately 300 feet per
minute rate-of-descent.
5. Airspeed - 95 KIAS at 6850 pounds weight. Reduce airplane weight
by fuel burn-off as much as practical.
6. Maintain a continuous descent until touchdown to avoid flaring and
touching down tail-first, pitching forward sharply, and deceler-
ating rapidly. Strive for initial contact at fuselage area below
rear cabin section (point of maximum longitudinal curvature of
fuselage) .

The airplane has not been fl ight tested in actual
ditchings, thus the above recommended procedure is
based entirely on the best judgment of Cessna Air-
craft Company.
