SECTION III
CHEROKEE 140 "D"
In
order
to
keep
the airplane
in best lateral
trim
during
cruising
flight,
the
fuel
should
be
used
alternately
from
each
main
tank.
It
is
recommended
that one main tank
be
used
for
one
hour
after take-off,
the other main tank used until nearly exhausted,
then return
to the
first
main tank.
MANEUVERS
The airplane
is
approved
for
certain
aerobatic
maneuvers,
provided
it is loaded
within
the approved
weight
and center
of
gravity limits.
(See Airplane
Flight Manual.) The maneuvers
are spins, steep turns,
lazy
eights and chandelles.
APPROACH
AND
LANDING
Landing
check
list:
1.
Fuel on
proper
tank
2.
Electric
fuel pump
on
3.
Mixture
set
4.
Flaps set (115 MPH MAX)
5.

belts/harness
The airplane
should
be
trimmed
to an approach
speed of about 85
miles
per hour
with
flaps
up. The
flaps
can
be lowered
at speeds
up
to
115 miles
per hour,
approach
speed
is
reduced
3
miles
per hour for
each
notch
of
flaps
used. Carburetor
heat
should not
be
applied unless there
is
an
indication
of carburetor
icing,
since the use of carburetor
heat
causes
a reduction
in power
which
may
be
critical
in
case of a
go-around.
Full throttle
operation
with
carburetor
heat
on
is likely
to
cause
detonation.
The
amount
of
flap
used
during landings
and the speed of the
aircraft
at contact
with
the runway
should
be
varied according
to the
landing surface and
existing
conditions,
both
windwise
and
loadwise. It
is generally good practice
to
contact
the
ground
at the minimum
possible
safe speed consistent
with existing conditions.
Normally,
the
best
technique
for
short and slow
landings is
to
use
full flap
and
enough
power
to maintain
the
desired
airspeed
