For any weight greater than the previously certificated gross weight, use the performance tables in this supplement. However, interpolation of performance data may be used between that appropriate to the highest previous Cessna weights and the 3600 pound maximum gross weight of these performance tables. For weights equal to or less than tb.e previously certificated gross weight, use the standard pecformance tables applicable to the basic unmodified airplane. The Fl Tip Fuel Tanks may be used in con-junction with other approved modifications provided it is determined that no interference exists. In this instance, the performance procedure in the paragraph above applies and in addition performance decrements must be applied as previously defined for that other installation.

Fuses or circuit breakers are connected to the aircraft electrical system main buss bar and are accessible with visible placarding. FUEL QUANTITY DATE (U.S. GALLONS) Add 27.6 U.S. gallons ( 29.6 U.S. gallons for A185F) additional usable fuel to the total fuel available in the Cessna tanks. In addition to the Cessna main fuel tanks, two wing tip fuel transfer tanks are installed as wing tip extensions. The capacity is 14.0 U.S. gallons each tank (13.8 usable U.S. gallons)[15.0 U.S. gallons (14.8 usable) for Al85F]. These tanks transfer to their respective main wing tank by transfer pumps controlled by switches in the cockpit. Each wing tip tank has a water drain and is vented through an overboard vent line. Each tank has an individual quantity gauge. NO'I'ES The wing tip fuel (transfer) tank quantity gauges are similar in operation to the main fuel tank gauges and visual inspection of the tanks during preflight is the best assurance of fuel quantities. No provision is provided to visually determine reduced tank quantity. FAA APPROVED DATE: Report Numoo, 185.14 Origination Dala Originaioo By FLINT AERO, INC. SUPPLEMENTAL AFM 11 P.O.H.

The main fuel tank gauges are the sole reference gauges for immediately available engine fuel. Should a wing tip fuel (transfer) tank pump fail, it is not possible to transfer fuel from the affected tank during the flight in progress and the pilot must immediately adjust his range and endurance calculations on the basis of the available fuel through the standard fuel system.
