Knots calibrated airspeed is equal to KTAS in standard atmosphere at sea level. 1-5 SECTION 1 GENERAL KIAS KTAS V VFE VNO VNE Vs ༨༠ CESSNA MODEL 152 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 speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that 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 at which the airplane is controllable. Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at 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 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. CESSNA MODEL 152 ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY BHP RPM Static RPM SECTION 1 GENERAL 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 Pressure Altitude Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimeter when the altimeter's barometric scale has been set to 29.92 inches of mercury (1013 mb). 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 1-6 1-7 CESSNA MODEL 152 SECTION 2 LIMITATIONS INTRODUCTION 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.

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: MANEUVER Chandelles Lazy Eights Steep Turns Spins Stalls (Except Whip Stalls) MAXIMUM ENTRY SPEED* .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. SECTION 2 LIMITATIONS ence to types of flight operations on the operating limitations placard reflects equipment installed at the time of Airworthiness Certificate issuance. Flight into known icing conditions is prohibited. FUEL LIMITATIONS 2 Standard Tanks: 13 U.S. gallons each. Total Fuel: 26 U.S. gallons. . Usable Fuel (all flight conditions): 24.5 U.S. gallons.

Emergencies caused by airplane or engine malfunctions are extremely rare if proper preflight inspections and maintenance are practiced. Enroute weather emergencies can be minim- ized or eliminated by careful flight planning and good judgment when unexpected weather is encountered. However, should an emergency arise, the basic guidelines described in this section should be considered and applied as necessary to correct the problem. Emergency procedures associated with ELT and other optional systems can be found in Section 9.

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: -- -- CHECK for faulty circuit, do not reset. Radio/Electrical Switches ICING INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER 1. Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed). 2. 3. 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. 4. Open the throttle to increase engine speed and minimize ice build- up on propeller blades. 5. Master Switch ON. 6. Circuit Breakers 7. -- 8. -- ON one at a time, with delay after each until short circuit is localized. Vents/Cabin Air/Heat completely extinguished. 5. OPEN when it is ascertained that fire is 6. 7. CABIN FIRE 1. Master Switch -- OFF. 2. -- CLOSED (to avoid drafts). Vents/Cabin Air/Heat 3. Fire Extinguisher -- ACTIVATE (if available). WARNING After discharging an extinguisher within a closed cabin, ventilate the cabin. 8. 9. 10. 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. 11. Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of ice accumulation. 3-6 4. Land the airplane as soon as possible to inspect for damage. 12. Perform a landing in level attitude. 3-7
