From these tanks, the fuel flows by gravity through the fuel shut off valve and from there through a fuel strainer via an electric booster pump and a mechanical main pump to the carburetors Fuel system venting is essential to system operation. Blockage of the venting system will result in a decreasing fuel flow and eventual engine stoppage. Venting is accomplished by an interconnecting line from the right fuel tank to the left tank. The left tank is vented overboard through a vent line which is equipped with a check valve, and protrudes from the bottom surface of the left wing near the wing strut attach point. The right fuel tank filler cap is also vented. Information about the fuel system can be found in Fig. 1 - 3. Fuel system maintenance information is included in "Maintenance Instructions" in Section VI. DRAIN VALVES IN WING TANK SUMPS Every tanks is equipped with drain valve.to provide a means for the examination of fuel in the system for contamination and grade. The valve protrudes on the underside of the wing just outside the cabin door. When testing the fuel, a sampling cup stored in the aircraft is used. taking a fuel sample, insert the probe of the cup into the center of the quick-release valve and push it upwards. Fuel now flows from the tank sump into the cup as long as the pressure on the valve is maintained. LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS For longer flight times and distances wings with long-distance tanks are available, where the standard wings and fuel tanks can be exchanged FUEL TANKS Tanks Usable All flight conditions Not usable Total Two Standard (each 13 US-Gal. = 49 ltr.) 22,5 US-Gal. = 85 ltr. 3,5 US-Gal = 13 ltr. 26 US-Gal. = 98 ltr.

Fig. 1 - 3 Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 1-9 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 Electrical system Abb. 1 - 4 Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 1-10 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The airplane is equipped with a 14-volt, direct current electrical system with one internal generator (Generator 1) and one externally mounted generator (Generator 2) (see Abb. 1 - 4). A 12V battery is located right in front of the firewall immediately under the engine cowling. The power is supplied to a bus bar. A master switch controls this power to all circuits, except the engine ignition system and the optional built-in clock and hour meter (which only operates when the engine is running). MASTER SWITCH The master switch is a split-rocker type switch labelled MASTER and is ON in the up position and OFF in the down position. The right half of the switch, labelled BAT, controls all electrical power to the airplane. The left half, labelled ALT, controls the alternators., Alternators are provided with separate indicator lights and circuit breakers. The generators are separated individually from the electrical system by their own circuit breakers During normal operations both halves of the switch should be switched simultaneously on. However, if devices are to be tested on the ground, the side of the switch labeled "BAT" can be set to "ON." If the side of the switch labeled "GEN" is set to "OFF," both generators are disconnected from the electrical system. In this case, all the electrical load will be on the battery. If the alternator switch in "OFF" position for extended periods, the battery current will be reduced to the point where the battery contactor will disconnect the current from the generator field winding and prevent the generator to be reconnected AMMETER The ammeter indicates the current flow, in amperes, from the generators to the battery or to the electrical system. When the engine is running, and the main switch is turned on, the ammeters indicate the amount of the current drawn from each generator. The maximum charging currents are 28A for generator 1 and 44A for generator 2. OVERVOLTAGE WARNING AND WARNING LIGHT The aircraft is equipped with an overvoltage protection system consisting of a warning device behind the instrument panel and a red "OVER VOLTAGE" warning lamp below the ampere meter If an overvoltage occurs, the overvoltage alarm automatically shuts off the alternators by removing the power to the generator winding. As a result, the red warning lights illuminate, indicating to the pilot that the generators are no longer providing power and all the electrical power is being supplied by the on-board battery. The overvoltage warning can be reseted, by. setting the main switch off and then turned on again. If the warning light does not come on again, the generator has resumed normal power generation. However, if the lamp lights up again, there is a fault and the flight should not be continued and landing performed as soon as possible. The overvoltage warning light can be checked by briefly switching off the half of the main switch labeled "GEN", while leaving the "BAT" switch half switched on. Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 1-11 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 GENERATOR – CONTROLIGHT The red generator indicator lights are indicators of too low a charging current. These warning lights indicate to the pilot an error in the power supply by the respective generator. When one of these lamps lights up, a reduced charge of the on-board battery can be expected. CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES Most of the electrical circuits in the airplane are protected by "push-to reset" circuit breakers mounted under the engine controls on the instrument panel. The cigar lighter is equipped with a manually-reset type circuit breaker located on the back of the lighter and a fuse behind the instrument panel. The control wheel map light (if installed) is protected by the NAV/DOME circuit breaker, and a fuse behind the instrument panel. Electrical circuits which are not protected by circuit breakers are the battery contactor closing (external power) circuit, clock circuit, and flight hour recorder circuit. These circuits are protected by fuses mounted adjacent to the battery LIGHTING SYSTEM EXTERIOR LIGHTS Conventional navigation lights are located on the wing tips and top of the rudder. Additional lighting is available and includes a single or dual landing/taxi light mounted in the cowling nose cap, a flashing beacon located on top of the vertical fin, and a strobe light installed on each wing tip. All exterior lights are controlled by rocker switches on the left switch and control panel. The switches are ON in the up position and OFF in the down position The flashing beacon should not be used when flying through clouds or overcast; the flashing light reflected from water droplets or particles in the atmosphere, particularly at night, can produce vertigo and loss of orientation Two high-intensity warning lights on the wing tips (optional) increase protection against the collision. However, the lights should be turned off when taxiing in the vicinity of other aircraft or while flying through clouds, fog or mist. Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 1-12 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 INTERIOR LIGHTNING The instrument panel and the operator panel are illuminated by floodlights and optionally by built-in lights. Two concentrically arranged control knobs labeled "FLIGHT LIGHT" and "INSTRUM. /RADIO" regulate the light intensity of the flood light and the built-in lights. The floodlight of instrument panel and control panel consists of a single red floodlight in the front part of the overhead console. To use the floodlight, turn the "FLOODLIGHT" control knob clockwise to the desired light intensity. The engine monitoring instruments, fuel gauge, radios, wing position indicator and magnetic compass are illuminated by built-in lights. The light intensity of all built-in lights is adjusted with the control knob "INSTRUM. /RADIO". A cabin ceiling dome light is mounted in the overhead console. It is operated by a switch on the left switch and control panel. To turn the light on. move the switch to the ON position. A control wheel map light is available and is mounted on the bottom of the pilot's control wheel. The light illuminates the lower portion of the cabin just forward of the pilot and is helpful when checking maps and other flight data during night operations. To operate the light, first turn on the NAV LT switch; then adjust the map light's intensity with the rheostat control knob located at the bottom of the control wheel The most probable cause of a light failure is a burned-out bulb; however, in the event any of the lighting systems fail to illuminate when turned on, check the appropriate circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker has opened (white button popped out), and there is no obvious indication of a short circuit (smoke or odor), turn off the light switch of the affected lights, reset the breaker, and turn the switch on again. If the breaker opens again, do not reset it WING FLAP SYSTEM The wing flaps are of the single-slot type and are extended or retracted by positioning the wing flap switch lever on the instrument panel to the desired flap deflection position. The switch lever is moved up or down in a slot in the instrument panel that provides mechanical stops at the 10º and 20º positions. For flap settings greater than 10º, move the switch lever to the right to clear the stop and position it as desired. A scale and pointer on the left side of the switch lever indicates flap travel in degrees. The wing flap system circuit is protected by a 15-ampere circuit breaker, labelled FLAP, on the right side of the instrument panel CABIN HEATING AND VENTILATING SYSTEM The temperature and volume of airflow into the cabin can be regulated by manipulation of the push-pull CABIN HT and CABIN AIR control knobs Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 1-13 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 Heated fresh air and outside air are blended in a cabin manifold just aft of the firewall by adjustment of the heat and air controls; this air is then vented into the cabin from outlets in the cabin manifold near the pilot's and passenger's feet. Windshield defrost air is also supplied by a duct leading from the manifold. Additional ventilation air may be obtained by opening the adjustable ventilators near the upper left and right corners of the windshield PARKING BRAKE To apply the parking brake, pull the parking brake knob, press the brake pedals, release, and then release the parking brake knob. To release the parking brake, depress the brake pedals, release and check that the parking brake knob. is fully back. SEATS The seating arrangement consists of two separate adjustable seats for the pilot and passenger and, if installed, a child's seat in the rear cabin area. The pilot's and passenger's seats are available in two designs: four way and six-way adjustable Four-way seats may be moved forward or aft, and the seat back angle changed. To position either seat, lift the lever under the inboard comer of the seat, slide the seat into position, release the lever, and check that the seat is locked in place. To adjust the seat back, pull forward on the knob under the center of the seat and apply pressure to the back. To return the seat back to the upright position, pull forward on the exposed portion of the seat back frame. Both seat backs will also fold full forward The seats with six adjustment options can be adjusted lengthwise and in height and have adjustable backrests. To adjust a seat, pull the tubular handle on the inside forward under the seat and slide the seat to the desired position. Then release the lever and check that the seat is engaged. The seats can be adjusted in height in increments of 1 inch by a total of 2 inches (5 cm), which must be done before the flight. To adjust the height of a seat, pull a T-shaped handle on the inside under the seat and push the seat down against the spring tension or push it up to the desired position by the spring tension. Then release the T-shaped lever and snap the seat into place. The angle of the backrest is adjustable by turning a lever on the inside back of each seat. To adjust the backrest, turn the lever backwards and lean against the backrest until it cannot be adjusted further; then release the lever. The backrest can be returned to its vertical position by pulling forward on the free part of its lower frame. Check that the operating lever has returned to its vertical position. Both backrests can be folded all the way forward. Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 1-14 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 A child's seat is available for installation in the rear of the cabin. The seat back is secured to the cabin sidewalls, and the seat bottom is attached to brackets on the floor. This seat is non- adjustable SEAT BELT AND SHOULDER HARNESS Each shoulder harness is attached to a rear doorpost above the window line and is stowed behind a stowage sheath above the cabin door. To stow the harness, fold it and place it behind the sheath. No harness is available for the child's seat. The shoulder harnesses are used by fastening and adjusting the seat belt first. Then, lengthen the harness as required by pulling on the connecting link on the end of the harness and the narrow release strap. Snap the connecting link firmly onto the retaining stud on the seat belt link half. Then adjust to length. Adjustment of the shoulder harness is important. A properly adjusted harness will permit the occupant to lean forward enough to sit completely erect but prevent excessive forward movement and contact with objects during sudden deceleration. Also, the pilot will want the freedom to reach all controls easily Removing the harness is accomplished by pulling upward on the narrow release strap and removing the harness connecting link from the stud on the seat belt link. In an emergency, the shoulder harness may be removed by releasing the seat belt first and allowing the harness, still attached to the link half of the seat belt, to drop to the side of the seat INTEGRATED SEAT BELT AND SHOULDER HARNESSES WITH INERTIA REELS Integrated seat belt/ shoulder harnesses with inertia reels are available for the pilot and front seat passenger. The seat belt/ shoulder harnesses extend from inertia reels located in the upper cabin sidewall just aft of each cabin door to attach points outboard of the front seats. A separate seat belt half and buckle is located inboard of the seats. Inertia reels allow complete freedom of body movement. However, in the event of a sudden deceleration, they will lock automatically to protect the occupants. TRUE AIRSPEED INDICATOR If a true airspeed indicator is installed, it is equipped with a rotatable ring which works in conjunction with the airspeed indicator dial in a manner similar to the operation of a flight computer To obtain true airspeed, first rotate the ring until pressure altitude is aligned with outside air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Having set the ring to correct for altitude and temperature, read the true airspeed shown on the rotatable ring by the indicator pointer.

Hold airplane off flat tire as long as possible with aileron control. When the flat tire touches the ground the directional control is maintained with rudder control in conjunction with brake. LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL Trim for horizontal flight with trim wheel and throttle control(approximately 65mph/56kts IAS and flight flaps 20°). Then do not change the elevator trim control setting. Control the glide angle by adjusting power exclusively. At flare out, the nose-down moment resulting from power reduction is any adverse factor and the airplane may hit on the nose wheel. Consequently, at flare out, the trim control should be set at the full nose-up position and the power adjusted so that the airplane will rotate the horizontal attitude for touchdown. Close the throttle at touchdown Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 3-7 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Edition 1 FORCED LANDINGS PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WITH ENGINE POWER Before commencing a landing off airport you should overfly the desired landing area at low but safe altitude to check the terrain for obstacles and conditions.

To protect the faces of the occupants, obtain folded coats or cushion ready at hand. Send "Mayday" and state the position and intentions on the frequency 121.5 MHz . 1) Plan the approach into the wind when there is strong wind and rough seas. In case of strong swells and light wind, fly parallel to the swells. 2) Airspeed 65mph (56 Kts).with 40° flaps and engine power adjusted for descent of 300 ft/min 3) Doors unlatch 4) Touchdown at level attitude with adjusted rate of descent. Do not try to flare off as it is difficult to estimate altitude above the water 5) At touch down protect the face with cushion or folded coat. 6) Evacuate the aircraft thought the cabin doors. If necessary open the windows and flood the cabin for pressure equalization so that the door can be opened 7) Inflate lifejackets or dinghies (if available) only after leaving the cabin. You cannot count on the plane to be floating for more than a few minutes. INADVERT ICING ENCOUNTER A flight into know icing conditions is forbidden. However, if unexpected icing occurs; 1) Pitot heat ”ON” (if installed). 2) Turn back of change flight altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conductive to icing 3) Pull the cabin heat control full out to obtain maximum defroster air temperature. For greater airflow at reduced temperatures, adjust the cabin heat as required 4) Increase engine speed to minimize icing in propeller 5) Watch out for the signs of induction air filter icing and use carburetor heater if needed. An unexpected loss of engine power could be a sign of carburetor or air filter icing 6) Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice buildup, select suitable off airport landing site 7) Witch ice built-up of more than 0,5 cm in the wing leading edges be prepared for significantly higher stall speed 8) Leave the wing flaps retracted. With severe ice build-up on the horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction caused by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator effectiveness. 9) Open the left window and if practical scrape ice from a portion of the windshield for visibility in the landing approach 10) Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary, for improved safety Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 3-9 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Edition 1 11) Approach at 75-85 mph (65 bis 75 Kts) depending upon the amount of ice accumulation 12) Perform a landing in level attitude. SPIRAL DIVE Should the aircraft enter to a spiral dive: 1) Throttle idle 2) With simultaneous use of aileron and rudder make a coordinated turn to align the miniature aircraft symbol in the turn coordinator to horizon line to stop rotation 3) Pull the control column gently to decelerate the airspeed to 80-90mph (70-80 kts) 4) Trim the aircraft so it maintains airspeed 80 mph (70 kts) 5) Keep your hands off the control wheel and steer a straight course with rudder only 6) Pull on the carburetor heat (if needed) 7) After you have exited the spiral, resume normal operations, set power as needed and continue flight SPINS Intentional spins are NOT APPROVED for this aircraft (see Section 2). The following procedure should be used to exit unintentional spin 1) Throttle ........................................ IDLE 2) Rudder ......................................... Apply and hold full rudder opposite to the direction of rotation 3) Elevator ....................................... immediately after the rudder reaches the stop move the control wheel briskly forward far enough to brake the stall 4) Hold these control inputs until rotation stops. Premature relaxation of the control inputs may extend the recovery. 5) As rotation stops, neutralize rudder, and make a smooth recovery from the resulting dive. NOTE: If the center of gravity is aft, the elevator input may need to be all the way to the front in order to terminate the spin efficiently NOTE If disorientation precludes a visual determination of the direction of rotation, the symbolic airplane of the turn coordinator may be referred to for this information Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 3-10 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Edition 1 Changes in the equipment of the aircraft or the aircraft weight and center of gravity due to subsequently installed equipment or cabin occupancy may lead to a change in the behavior of the aircraft, especially during prolonged spins. This is normal, but results a change in the spin characteristics and delays the termination of the spin. in maneuvers with more than three turns. However, the above-mentioned method of terminating the spin should always be used as it is the fastest way to terminate a spin. ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY MALFUNCTIONS Malfunctions in the electrical power system can be detected by periodically monitoring the amperemeter, but the cause is usually difficult to determine. Breakage in the generator winding or a or loose wire is the most likely cause of charging problem, although not always.. A damaged or improperly adjusted voltage regulator can also cause interference. All these kinds of malfunctions create an "electrical emergency" that requires immediate action. Power supply malfunctions usually fall into two categories: too high charging current or insufficient charging current. The following paragraphs describe the recommended countermeasures for the given situation. EXCESSIVE RATE OF CHARGE After engine starting and heavy electrical usage at low engine speeds (such as extended taxiing) the battery condition will be low enough to accept above normal charging during the initial part of a flight. However, after thirty minutes of cruising flight, the ammeter should be indicating less than two needle widths of charging current. If the charging rate were to remain above this value on a long flight, the battery would overheat and evaporate the electrolyte at an excessive rate. Electronic components in the electrical system could be adversely affected by higher than normal voltage if a faulty voltage regulator setting is causing the overcharging To preclude these possibilities, an over-voltage sensor will automatically shut down the alternator and the over-voltage warning light will illuminate if the charge voltage reaches approximately 16 volts. and the malfunction was only momentary; an attempt should be made to reactivate the alternator system. To do this, 1) Circuit breaker „Gen. Feld 1“................................. pull 2) 30A-Circuit breaker „Generator 1“ ......................... pull 3) Main switch „BAT“ und „GEN“ ...............................

Circuit breaker „Generator 2“ ............. PULL iv. Emergency procedures...................... Complete(Problem not solved If the problem no longer exists, normal alternator charging will resume, and the warning light will go off. If the light illuminates again, a malfunction is confirmed. In this event, the flight should be terminated and/or the current drain on the battery minimized because the battery can supply the electrical system for only a limited period of time. If the emergency occurs at night, power must be conserved for later use of the landing light and flaps during landing. INSUFFICIENT CHARGE If the ammeters indicate a steady discharge in flight, the alternators will not provide enough power to the system. The faulty generator should then be determined and switched off as described above, since supplying the generator field winding could be an unnecessary load on the system. All equipment not essential for the flight should be switched off and the flight terminated as soon as possible. ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION OR LOSS OF POWER CARBURETOR ICING Gradual airspeed drop and rough engine running can be due to ice formation in the carburetor. To remove the ice, apply full throttle and pull the carburetor heat control knob until the engine runs smoothly again. Then switch off the carburetor heating and reset the throttle control. If the conditions require constant use of carburetor heating in cruising flight, use only the pre-heat required to prevent icing (indicated by the smoothest engine run). SPARK PLUG FOULING A slight engine roughness in flight may be caused by one or more spark plugs becoming fouled by carbon or lead deposits. This may be verified by turning the ignition switch momentarily from BOTH to either L or R position. An obvious power loss in single ignition operation is evidence of spark plug or ignition system trouble. Assuming that spark plugs are the more likely cause, determine if a change in cruise power setting would fix the problem. If not, proceed to the nearest airport for repairs using power setting resulting smoothest engine run.

Switching from BOTH to either L or R ignition switch position will identify which system is malfunctioning. Select different power set tings to determine if continued operation on BOTH systems is practical. If not, switch to the better side and proceed to the nearest airport for repairs LOW OIL PRESSURE If low oil pressure is accompanied by normal oil temperature, there is a possibility the oil pressure gage or relief valve is malfunctioning. Reduce the engine power to minimum needed and land to a nearest suitable airport to determine the source of the problem. If a total loss of oil pressure is accompanied by a rise in oil temperature, there is good reason to suspect an engine failure is imminent. Reduce engine power immediately and select a suitable forced landing field. Use only the minimum power required to reach the desired touchdown spot .

(See also ROTAX 912() user’s manual). When checking the coolant, the expansion tank must be full. The level in the overflow tank should be between the min. and max. markings. Warning: check or refill only when the engine is cold. 2) Check the engine oil level with dipstick (see. also, ROTAX 912 () user’s manu- al). Before checking the oil level, run the engine for 1 min. At idle speed or turn the propeller by hand a few turns to pump the engine oil completely out of the crank- case. Stop the engine and check the oil level with the dipstick in the oil tank the oil level in the oil tank should be at least between the two markings (max / min.) Of the dipstick and must never fall below the min. Quantity difference between max and min mark = 0.45 ltr. Warning: Check only when the engine is hand warm! 3) Pay attention to any kinds of leaks or abnormal noises 4) Before the first flight of the day and after each refueling, pull the drain plug of the fuel strainer for about 4 seconds to remove any water and debris from the strainer. Check that the strainer outlet is properly closed again. If water is detected, there is a possibility that the fuel system contains even more water and further fuel sam- ples are to be taken from the fuel strainer, at the wing tank sumps and at the drain plug of the fuel line. 5) Check the propeller and spinner for notches, dents and security. 6) Check the carburetor air filter for clogging by dust or other foreign material. 7) Check nose wheel strut and tire for proper pressure. 8) Release nose wheel tie down. 9) Check the static pressure port on the left side of the fuselage for obstruction.

A cold engine is usually started with choke slightly on and throttle on idle position Weak intermittent firing followed by puffs of black smoke from the exhaust stack indicates over priming or flooding. Excess fuel can be cleared from the combustion chambers by the following procedure: close choke, the throttle full open, and crank the engine through several revolutions with the starter. After starting, if the oil gage does not begin to show pressure within 10 seconds in the summertime and about twice that long in very cold weather, stop the engine and investigate. Lack of oil pressure can cause serious engine damage. After starting, avoid using carburetor heating unless icing conditions prevail. TAXING 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 (see taxing diagram) Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller tips The nose wheel is designed to automatically center straight ahead when the nose strut is fully extended. In the event the nose strut is overinflated, and the airplane is loaded to a rearward center of gravity position, it may be necessary to partially compress the strut to permit steering. This can be accomplished prior to taxiing by depressing the airplane nose (by hand) or during taxi by sharply applying brakes BEFORE TAKE OFF WARMING THE ENGINE Most of the engine warn up will have been conducted during taxi, and additional warm-up before takeoff should be restricted to the checklists procedures. Since the engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight cooling. Precautions should be taken to avoid overheating on the ground Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 4-8 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 Taxing diagram 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 nose wheel and rudder to maintain direction. Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 4-9 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 CHECKING THE IGNITION MODULES Checking the ignition modules should be done at an engine speed of 1700 rpm, prop control on high setting (forward). Set the ignition switch first to “R" position and notice the rpm droppage. then return the switch to “BOTH“ position to clear the set of spark plugs. Then move switch to „L“ position note the rpm and return the switch to „BOTH“ position. Rpm drop should not exceed 135 rpm on either module or show greater than 50 rpm difference between modules.. If there is a doubt concerning operation of the ignition system, rpm checks at higher engine speeds will usually confirm whether a deficiency exists An absence of rpm drop may be an indication of faulty grounding of the one side of the ignition system or should be cause for suspicion that the ignition module timing is too early. CHEKING THE GENERATORS For flights where electrical power is essential (night or IFR flights) A generator and voltage regulator check can be done by turning on the landing light for short period (3 to 5 seconds) (if installed) or by lowering the landing flaps when engine on idle. The ammeter should remain within needle width of the zero when voltage regulators and generators are working properly TAKE OFF ENGINE POWER CHECK It is important to check full-throttle engine operation early in the take-off run. Any sign of rough engine operation or sluggish engine acceleration is good cause for discontinue the take-off. If this occurs, you are justified in making a thorough full throttle static runup before another take- off attempted the engine should run smoothly and turn 2280 - 2320 rpm with carburetor heat off Full throttle runups over loose gravel are especially harmful to propeller tips. When take-offs must be made over a gravel surface, it is very important that the throttle be advanced slowly. This allows the airplane to start rolling before high rpm is developed, and the gravel will be blown back of the propeller rather than pulled int.it. If unavoidable small bumps on the propeller blades are detected, they should be removed immediately, as described in Section VI. After full throttle is applied, adjust the throttle friction lock clockwise to prevent the throttle from creeping back from a maximum power position. Similar friction lock adjustment should be made as required in other flight conditions to maintain a fixed throttle setting Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 4-10 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 WING FLAP SETTINGS Normal take-offs are accomplished with wing flaps retracted. Using 10° wing flaps reduces the total distance over an obstacle by approximately 10%. This advantage is however lost in total climb gradient after 15 m obstacle has been cleared. For this reason 10°-flap setting is to be used only for minimum takeoff runs, soft- or uneven fields without obstacles ahead If 10° wing flaps are used for take-off from uneven or soft fields wing flaps should be left down until all obstacles are cleared. Exception for this rule would be a take-off with hot weather and high pressure altitude where use of 10° wing flap setting would be critical where 10° wing flap setting is not recommended for take-offs CRUISE PERFORMANCE Takeoff distances for different weights, headwinds and pressure altitudes are found in Table Takeoff distances Section V TAKE OFF WITH SIDEWIND Take-offs into strong crosswinds normally are performed with the minimum flap setting necessary for the field length, to minimize the drift angle immediately after takeoff. The airplane is accelerated to a speed slightly higher than normal, then pulled off abruptly to prevent possible settling back to the runway while drifting. When clear of the ground, make a coordinated turn into the wind to correct for drift. CRUISE CLIMB CLIMB PERFORMANCE For detailed data, see the table "Maximum climb rate" in Section V. CLIMB SPEEDS Normal climbs are performed for best engine cooling with 75-80mph (65-70kts) with retracted flaps and full throttle. Airspeeds for achieving the best climb rate are in the range of 67mph (58kts) at sea level and 63mph (55kts) at altitudes above 7500ft. If an obstacle requires a steeper climb angle, it is recommended to climb with 63mph (55kts) and retracted flaps. Note Due to engine cooling steep climbs with low airspeeds should be kept in short term only Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 4-11 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 CRUISE FLIGHT Normal cruise is performed with an engine power between 55 and 75%. The required settings to achieve these performance figures at different altitudes and temperatures can be found or from the performance data in Section V. The cruise tables in Section V show that greater range and fuel economy can be achieved by flying at lower power settings and at lower altitudes. Using lower power settings and choosing the most favorable wind conditions are important factors that should be considered to reduce fuel consumption on each flight. The cruise performance table provides the true airspeeds and fuel consumption achievable when cruising at various altitudes and power settings. This table should be used together with valid wind information as a guide to determine the most favorable altitude and engine settings for a given flight Carburetor icing indicated by unexplained airspeed drop can be eliminated by using full carburetor pre-heating. After regaining the original speed (pre-heating off), it must be determined by appropriate trial and error how much the carburetor pre-heating must be used to prevent ice build-up. The preheated air gives a richer mixture when carburetor heating is used continuously during cruise flight FLIGHT IN HEAVY RAIN STALLS The stall characteristics are conventional in both retracted and extended flaps. When the flaps are extended, a slight shake of the elevator may occur shortly before stall. The stall warning horn produces a steady signal 5 to 10 mph before actual stall is reached and remains until the attitude is changed. Stall speeds for various combinations of flap setting and bank angle are summarized in Section 5.. Important note During heavy rain rain, the use of full carburetor heating is recommended. This eliminates the possibility of an engine stoppage caused by excessive water intake Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 4-12 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 SPINS Spins not approved for this airplane (see section 2). To stop an unintentional spin, see. Emergency section LANDING Normal landing approaches can be made with power-on or power-off at speeds of 70 - 80 mph (60-70 kts) with flaps up, and 60-70 mph (52-60 kts) with flaps down. Surface winds and air turbulence are usually the primary factors in determining the most comfortable approach speeds. Actual touchdown should be made with power-off and on the main wheels first. The nose wheel should be lowered smoothly to the runway as speed is diminished. SHORT FIELD LANDING For a short field landing in smooth air conditions, make an approach at 60 mph (52kts) with 40° flaps using enough power to control the glide path. After all approach obstacles are cleared, progressively reduce power and maintain 60 mph by lowering the nose of the airplane. Touchdown should be made with power-off and on the main wheels first. Immediately after touchdown, lower the nose wheel and apply heavy braking as required. For maximum brake effectiveness, retract the flaps, hold full nose-up elevator, and apply maximum brake pressure without sliding the tires. Slightly higher approach speeds should be used under turbulent air conditions LANDING IN SIDE WIND CONDITIONS When landing in a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting required for the field length. Use a wing low, crab, or a combination Excessive inflation pressure in the nose landing gear strut can prevent the nose wheel from turning and impair the controllability during taxi and side wind landings. This can be counteracted by firmly placing the nose wheel on ground after touch down. This way, the strut is slightly compressed and thereby allows the pivoting of the nose wheel and thus a safe steering on the ground.. BALKED LANDING In a balked landing (go-around) climb, the wing flap setting should be reduced to 20° immediately after full power is applied. Upon reaching a safe airspeed, the flaps should be slowly retracted to the full up position Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 4-13 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS Prior to starting with temperatures below freezing, it is advisable to pull the propeller through several times by hand to "break loose" or "limber" the oil, thus conserving battery energy. In particularly cold weather (-18 ° C and below) it is recommended to use an external preheater if possible to reduce engine wear and avoid overloading the electrical system. Cold weather starting procedures are as follows. 1) Electrical fuel pump...................... On (Pump audible) 2) Throttle control ............................. Drawn 3) Choke .......................................... Drawn 4) Propeller are ................................ Clear 5) Main switch .................................. On 6) El. fuel pump................................ Off 7) Ignition switch .............................. Start 8) Oil pressure ................................. Check Even at very low outdoor temperatures, there must be an indication on the oil temperature gauge before Takeoff. After a reasonable warm-up period (2 to 5 min at 1000 rpm), the engine must be accelerated several times to higher speeds. If the engine accelerates evenly and the oil pressure remains normal and constant, the aircraft is ready to take off. When operating in temperatures below -18 ° C partial use of carburetor heating must be avoided. Partial preheating could increase the carburetor air temperature to a range between 0 ° C and 21 ° C, where there is a high risk of icing under certain atmospheric conditions. Note When pulling the propeller through by hand, treat it as if the ignition switch is turned on. A loose or broken ground wire on either ignition could cause the engine to fire Note If the engine does not start during the first few start attempts please consult the instructions in the engine operating manual. Important note Fuel accumulations in the intake manifold can cause a fire hazard in the event of a misfire. If this happens, continue cranking with the starter to draw the flames into the engine. When starting in cold weather without preheating, it is always advisable to have a helper standing by with a fire extinguisher outside the aircraft Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 5-1 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 5 PERFORMANCE INTRODUCTION Performance data charts on the following pages are presented so that you may know what to expect from the airplane under various conditions, and, to facilitate the planning of flights in detail and with reasonable accuracy. The data in the charts has been computed from actual flight tests with the airplane and engine in good condition and using average piloting techniques. It should be noted that the performance information in the range and endurance charts do not include fuel reserves. Cruise fuel flow values are based on normal engine settings. Some indeterminable variables such as engine mixture, fuel metering characteristics, engine and propeller condition, and air turbulence may account for variations of 10% or more. Therefore, it is important to utilize all available information to estimate the fuel required for the particular flight. USE OF PERFORMANCE CHARTS Performance data is presented in tabular or graphical form to illustrate the effect of different variables. Sufficiently detailed information is provided in the tables so that conservative values can be selected and used to determine the performance figure with reasonable accuracy. SAMPLE PROBLEM The following example uses values from various tables and charts in this section to define the performance values for a typical flight.

For example, in this sample problem, the take-off distance information presented for a pressure altitude of 4000 feet and a temperature of ISA + 22°C should be used and results in the following: Ground roll: 387m Takeoff distance 770m Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 5-2 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 These distances are well within the available take-off field length. However, a correction for the effect of wind may be made based on Note 3 of the takeoff chart. The correction for a 12-knot headwind is: % 13 % 10 9 12 =  kts kts to reduce Ground run: 387m –0.13*387 = 337m Takeoff distance: 770m –0.13*770 = 670m If the available runway is not clearly longer than this, interpolation of values is needed. In this case you must use distances of 0 ft and 4000 ft, and at temperatures of ISA and ISA +22°C. Then: ISA At 0ft Ground roll= 216m Takeoff distance = 426m At 4000ft Ground roll = 308m Takeoff distance = 609m Interpolating for 1500ft at ISA conditions ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) m m m m ft ft ft x x x x H H H x m m m m ft ft ft x x x x H H H x D D D D D roll roll roll roll roll 495 426 426 609 0 4000 1500 1 2 251 216 216 308 0 4000 1500 1 2 15 1 15 1 15 2 15 15 1 1 2 = + −  − = + −  − = = + −  − = + −  − = − − − − − − ISA+22°C At 0ft Ground roll= 263m Takeoff distance = 516m At 4000ft Ground roll= 387m Takeoff distance = 770m Interpolating for 1500ft and ISA+22°C condition ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) m m m m ft ft ft x x x x H H H x m m m m ft ft ft x x x x H H H x D D D D D roll roll roll roll roll 611 516 516 770 0 4000 1500 1 2 310 263 263 387 0 4000 1500 1 2 15 1 15 1 15 2 15 15 1 1 2 = + −  − = + −  − = = + −  − = + −  − = − − − − − − Airplane Flight Manual Cessna F150L Nr. 160 Converted with kit NS402S with ROTAX 912 S3 and Page: 5-3 HOFFMANN HO-V352F/170FQ+10 Revision 1 FOR ISA+16 THE RESULT IS THEREFORE ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) m m m m C C x x x x T T T x m m m m C C C x x x x T T T x D D D D D roll roll roll roll roll 579 495 495 611 0 22 16 1 2 294 251 251 310 0 22 16 1 2 15 1 15 1 15 2 15 15 1 1 2 = + −   −  = + −   −   = = + −   −   = + −   −   = − − − − − − These are for calm wind conditions.

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. These include the cruise performance characteristics presented in figure 5-9 with corresponding consumptions and ranges, as well as the charts for climb, fuel and distance in climb to cruise altitude. Pressure altitude of 5500 ft at 20 °C (16°C over ISA) gives density of 7000 ft, for this determination, see Fig. 5 - 1 . From cruise performance charts the following values can be determined for density altitude if 7000ft.

For this sample problem it can be seen from Fig. 5 - 8 that a climb from 1500ft to 5500ft requires 4.1ltr. of fuel. Normal taxi and warm up will need approximately 4 liters of fuel. The distance travelled is approximately 9.5 NM as seen from Fig. 5 - 7 . With these values the fuel required for cruise and for whole flight can be determined Distance in cruise phase........ 260NM – 9.5NM = 250NM Time req. for cruise................ 250NM / 74kts = 3.4Std. Fuel required ......................... 3.4 hours. * 17.4ltr/h = 59ltr. The total calculated, expected fuel consumption is calculated as follows: Start warn up and taxi ...................4.0ltr. Climb ............................................4.1ltr. Enroute...................................... 59.0 ltr. Total .......................................... 67.1 ltr. Therefore, an extra fuel of 85ltr. – 67.1ltr. = 17.9ltr. is available Once the flight is underway, ground speed checks will provide a more accurate basis for estimating the time enroute and the corresponding fuel required to complete the trip with ample reserve. LANDING • Pressure altitude ............................................ 2000ft • Temperature................................................... 25°C • Field length..................................................... 914m A procedure similar to take-off should be used for estimating the landing distance at the destination airport. Fig. 5 - 10 presents landing distances for various airport altitude and temperature combinations Field pressure altitude 2500ft and temperature of 25°C correspond to following values. Deviation from.
