SYMBOLS, ABBREVIATIONS AND TERMINOLOGY GENERAL AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS KCAS Knots Calibrated Airspeed is indicated airspeed corrected for position and instrument error and expressed in knots. Knots calibrated airspeed is equal to KTAS in standard atmosphere at sea level. Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator and expressed in knots. Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for altitude and temperature. Manuevering Speed is the maximum speed at which you may use abrupt control travel. Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speec permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed tha should not be exceeded except in smooth air, then only with caution. Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time. Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed a which the airplane is controllable. Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed a which the airplane is controllable in the landing configu ration at the most forward center of gravity. Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain in altitude in a given time. METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY OAT Standard Tempera- ture Pressure Altitude Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature It is expressed in either degrees Celsius (formerly Centi grade) or degrees Fahrenheit. Standard Temperature is 15°C at sea level pressure alti tude and decreases by 2°C for each 1000 feet of altitude Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimete: when the altimeter's barometric scale has been set to 29.95 inches of mercury (1013 mb). 1-5 1-6 CESSNA MODEL 152 SECTION 1 GENERAL SECTION 1 GENERAL CESSNA MODEL 152 ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY BHP RPM Static RPM Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the engine. Revolutions Per Minute is engine speed. Static RPM is engine speed attained during a full-throttle engine runup when the airplane is on the ground and stationary. AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE AND FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY Demon- strated Crosswind Velocity Usable Fuel Unusable Fuel GPH NMPG g Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane during takeoff and landing was actually demon- strated during certification tests. The value shown is not considered to be limiting. Usable Fuel is the fuel available for flight planning. Unusable Fuel is the quantity of fuel that can not be safely used in flight. Gallons Per Hour is the amount of fuel (in gallons) consumed per hour. Nautical Miles Per Gallon is the distance (in nautical miles) which can be expected per gallon of fuel consumed at a specific engine power setting and/or flight configura- tion. g is acceleration due to gravity. WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY Reference Datum Station Arm Moment Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. Station is a location along the airplane fuselage given in terms of the distance from the reference datum. Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item. Moment is the product of the weight of an item multiplied Center of Gravity (C.G.) C.G. Arm C.G. Limits Standard Empty Weight Basic Empty Weight Useful Load Gross (Loaded) Weight Maximum Takeoff Weight Maximum Landing Weight Tare by its arm. (Moment divided by the constant 1000 is used in this handbook to simplify balance calculations by reduc- ing the number of digits.) Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane, or equipment, would balance if suspended. Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane. Center of Gravity Arm is the arm obtained by adding the airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum by the total weight. Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of gravity locations within which the airplane must be operated at a given weight. Standard Empty Weight is the weight of a standard air- plane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids and full engine oil. Basic Empty Weight is the standard empty weight plus the weight of optional equipment. Useful Load is the difference between takeoff weight and the basic empty weight. Gross (Loaded) Weight is the loaded weight of the airplane. Maximum Takeoff Weight is the maximum weight ap- proved for the start of the takeoff run. Maximum Landing Weight is the maximum weight ap- proved for the landing touchdown. Tare is the weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc. used when weighing an airplane, and is included in the scale read- ings. Tare is deducted from the scale reading to obtain the actual (net) airplane weight. 1-7 1-8 CESSNA MODEL 152 SECTION 2 LIMITATIONS TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 2 LIMITATIONS Page Introduction Airspeed Limitations 2-3 2-3 Airspeed Indicator Markings 2-4 Power Plant Limitations 2-4 Power Plant Instrument Markings 2-5 Weight Limits 2-5 Center Of Gravity Limits 2-5 Maneuver Limits Flight Load Factor Limits Kinds Of Operation Limits Fuel Limitations Placards 2-6 2-6 2-6 2-7 2-8 2-1/(2-2 blank) CESSNA MODEL 152 INTRODUCTION SECTION 2 LIMITATIONS Section 2 includes operating limitations, instrument markings, and basic placards necessary for the safe operation of the airplane, its engine, standard systems and standard equipment.

NOTE The maximum combined weight capacity for baggage areas 1 and 2 is 120 lbs. MANEUVER LIMITS This airplane is certificated in the utility category and is designed for limited aerobatic flight. In the acquisition of various certificates such as commercial pilot, instrument pilot and flight instructor, certain maneuv- ers are required. All of these maneuvers are permitted in this airplane. No aerobatic maneuvers are approved except those listed below: MAXIMUM ENTRY SPEED* MANEUVER Chandelles Lazy Eights Steep Turns Spins Stalls (Except Whip Stalls) 95 knots .95 knots .95 knots Use Slow Deceleration Use Slow Deceleration *Higher speeds can be used if abrupt use of the controls is avoided. Aerobatics that may impose high loads should not be attempted. The important thing to bear in mind in flight maneuvers is that the airplane is clean in aerodynamic design and will build up speed quickly with the nose down. Proper speed control is an essential requirement for execution of any maneuver, and care should always be exercised to avoid excessive speed which in turn can impose excessive loads. In the execution of all maneuvers, avoid abrupt use of controls. FLIGHT LOAD FACTOR LIMITS Flight Load Factors: *Flaps Up: +4.4g, -1.76g *Flaps Down: +3.5g *The design load factors are 150% of the above, and in all cases, the structure meets or exceeds design loads.

Fire EXTINGUISH using fire extinguisher, wool blanket, or dirt. Fire Damage INSPECT, repair damage or replace damaged components or wiring before conducting another flight. ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT 1. -- Mixture IDLE CUT-OFF. Fire Extinguisher -- ACTIVATE (if available). WARNING After discharging an extinguisher within a closed cabin, ventilate the cabin. If fire appears out and electrical power is necessary for continuance of flight: 5. 6. Master Switch Circuit Breakers _ ON. -- 7. 8. CHECK for faulty circuit, do not reset. Radio/Electrical Switches ON one at a time, with delay after each until short circuit is localized. Vents/Cabin Air/Heat -- OPEN when it is ascertained that fire is completely extinguished. CABIN FIRE -- 2. 1. Master Switch OFF. Vents/Cabin Air/Heat 3. 4. __ CLOSED (to avoid drafts). Fire Extinguisher -- ACTIVATE (if available).

Land the airplane as soon as possible to inspect for damage. 3-5 3-6 CESSNA MODEL 152 WING FIRE SECTION 3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES SECTION 3 1. Navigation Light Switch -- OFF. 2. Strobe Light Switch (if installed) -- OFF. 3. Pitot Heat Switch (if installed) -- OFF. NOTE Perform a side slip to keep the flames away from the fuel tank and cabin, and land as soon as possible, with flaps retracted. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES LANDING WITH A FLAT MAIN TIRE 1. Wing Flaps -- AS DESIRED. 2. 3. Approach - NORMAL. CESSNA MODEL 152 Touchdown -- GOOD TIRE FIRST, hold airplane off flat tire as long as possible with aileron control. ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS OVER-VOLTAGE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ICING INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER 1. Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed). 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conducive to icing. Pull cabin heat control full out to obtain maximum defroster air temperature. For greater air flow at reduced temperatures, adjust the cabin air control as required. Open the throttle to increase engine speed and minimize ice build- up on propeller blades. Watch for signs of carburetor air filter ice and apply carburetor heat as required. An unexpected loss in engine speed could be caused by carburetor ice or air intake filter ice. Lean the mixture for maximum RPM, if carburetor heat is used continuously. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build-up, select a suitable "off airport" landing site. With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a 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 effective- ness. Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from a portion of the windshield for visibility in the landing approach. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary, for improved visibility. 10. 11. 12. Perform a landing in level attitude. Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of ice accumulation. 2. 1. Master Switch Master Switch 3. -- OFF (both sides). ON. Over-Voltage Light -- OFF.
