What to check on inspection
Look for airframe corrosion, dented or cracked skin and missing screws or rivets. Wrinkled skin near the tail hook or a wrinkled firewall point to hard landings. Check the propeller for nicks, cracks and leaks at the blade bases. Be concerned if the engine uses more than 1 quart of oil per hour. At runup, magneto drop should not exceed 175 RPM, with no more than 50 RPM between mags.
Loading and baggage
Baggage area A takes 120 lb, and areas B and C take 80 lb each. The combined limit is 200 lb for A, B and C and 80 lb for B and C together. The rear seat can be removed for cargo. The rear cabin floor is rated 200 pounds per square foot, and each of the ten tiedowns is rated 140 pounds. Use the airplane's own weight and balance records.
Reading the performance numbers
POH speed and range figures assume the standard wheel and brake fairings, which add about 3 knots over an airplane without them. Cruise range allows for engine start, taxi, takeoff, climb and a 45 minute reserve. Figures are calculated for standard conditions, level hard dry runways and no wind. Individual airplanes will differ.
Safety notes
- Engine failure in flight: best glide is 76 KIAS. For a forced landing use 75 KIAS flaps up, or 70 KIAS with flaps 10 degrees to full.
- Hot starts can be difficult and vapor lock can occur on hot days. Use the auxiliary fuel pump if you suspect an engine-driven pump failure or surging.
- Registry data lists 300 hp and 2,550 lb max takeoff. The POH shows 230 hp and 3,100 lb, so use the POH figures.
