Knots calibrated airspeed is equal to KT AS in standard atmosphere at sea level. KIAS Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator and expressed in knots. KTAS Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for altitude and temperature. VA Maneuvering Speed is the maximum speed at which full or abrupt control movements may be used. V Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed FE permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. V Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that NO should not be exceeded except in smooth air. then only with caution. V Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be NE exceeded at any time. V Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at s which the airplane is controllable. V Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at So which the airplane is controllable in the landing configu ration at the most forward center of gravity. V Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in x the greatest gain of altitude in a given horizontal distance. V y Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the speed which results in the greatest gain in altitude in a given time. METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature. 21 August 1981 1-6 CESSNA MODEL T182 Standard Temperature Pressure Altitude SECTION 1 GENERAL It is expressed in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fah renheit. 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 altimeter when the altimeter's barometric scale has been set to 29.92 inches of mercury (1013 mb). ENGINE POWER TERMINOLOGY BHP Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the engine. RPM Revolutions Per Minute is engine speed. MP Manifold Pressure is a pressure measured in the engine's induction system and is expressed in inches of mercury (Hg). 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 consumed per hour. Nautical Miles Per Gallon is the distance which can be expected per gallon of fuel consumed at a specific engine power setting and/ or flight configuration. g is acceleration due to gravity. WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY deference Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from Datum which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. 21 August 1981 1-7 SECTION 1 GENERAL Station Arm Moment Center of Gravity (C.G.) C.G. Arm C.G. Limits Standard Empty Weight Basic Empty Weight Useful Load Maximum Ramp Weight Maximum Takeoff Weight Maximum Landing Weight Tare CESSNA MODEL T182 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 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 ramp weight and the basic empty weight. Maximum Ramp Weight is the maximum weight approved for ground maneuver. (It includes the weight of start, taxi and runup fuel.) Maximum Takeoff Weight is the maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff roll. Maximum Landing Weight is the maximum weight approved for the landing tOUChdown.

Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed). 2. Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conducive to icing. 3. Pull cabin heat control full out and rotate defroster control clock wise to obtain maximum defroster airflow. 4. Increase engine speed to minimize ice build-up on propeller blades. 5. Watch for signs of carburetor air filter ice and apply carburetor heat only as required. An unexplained loss in manifold' pressure could be caused by carburetor ice or air intake filter ice. Lean the mixture if carburetor heat is used continuously. 6. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build-up, select a suitable "off airport" landing site. 7. With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed. 8. 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. 9. Open the 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 visibility. 11. Approach at 85 to 95 KIAS, depending upon the amount of ice accumulation. 12.

These procedures also include information not readily adaptable to a checklist format, and material to which a pilot could not be expected to refer in resolution of a specific emergency. ENGINE FAILURE If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll, the most important thing to do is stop the airplane on the remaining runway. Those extra items on the checklist will provide added safety after a failure of this type. Prompt lowering of the nose to maintain airspeed and establish a glide attitude is the first response to an engine failure after takeoff. In most cases, the landing should be planned straight ahead with only small changes in direction to avoid obstructions. Altitude and airspeed are seldom sufficient to execute a 180 0 gliding turn necessary to return to the 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 ( GROUND DISTANCE - NAUTICAL MILES Figure 3-1.

The checklist procedures assume that adequate time exists to secure the fuel and ignition systems prior to touchdown. After an engine failure in flight, the best glide speed as shown in figure 3-1 should be established as quickly as possible. While gliding toward a sui table landing area, an effort should be made to identify the cause of the failure. If time permits, an engine restart should be attempted as shown in the checklist. If the engine cannot be restarted, a forced landing without power must be completed. FORCED LANDINGS If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is imminent, select a suitable field and prepare for the landing as discussed in the checklist for Emergency Landing Without Engine Power. Before attempting an "off airport" landing with engine power availa ble, one should fly over the landing area at a safe but low altitude to inspect the terrain for obstructions and surface conditions, proceeding as dis cussed under the Precautionary Landing With Engine Power checklist. Prepare for ditching by securing or jettisoning heavy objects located in the baggage area and collect folded coats for protection of occupants' face at touchdown. Transmit Mayday messag'e on 121.5 MHz giving location and intentions and squawk 7700 if a transponder is installed. A void a landing flare because of difficul ty in judging height over a water surface. In a forced landing situation, do not turn off the avionics power and master switches until a landing is assured. Premature deactivation of the switches will disable the encoding altimeter and airplane electrical sys tems. LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL Trim for horizontal flight with an airspeed of approximately 80 KIAS by using throttle and elevator trim control. Then do not change the elevator trim control setting; control the glide angle by adjusting power exclu sively. At flareout, the nose-down moment resulting from power reduction i~ an adverse factor and the airplane may hit on the nose wheel. Conse quently, at flareout, the elevator trim control should be adjusted toward the full nose-up positIOn and the power adj usted so that the airplane will rotate to the horizontal attitude for tOUChdown. Close the throttle at tOUChdown. ( 'f 3-12 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL T182 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FIRES Although engine fires are extremely rare in flight, the steps of the appropriate checklist should be followed if one is encountered. After completion of this procedure, execute a forced landing. Do not attempt to restart the engine. The initial indication of an electrical fire IS usually the odor of burning insulation. The checklist for this problem should result in elimination of the fire. EMERGENCY OPERATION IN CLOUDS (Vacuum System Failure) In the event of a vacuum system failure during flight, the directional indicator and attitude indicator will be disabled, and the pilot will have to rely on the turn coordinator if he inadvertently flies into clouds. The following instructions assume that only the electrically-powered turn coordinator is operative, and that the pilot is not completely proficient in instrument flying. EXECUTING A 180 0 TURN IN CLOUDS Upon inadvertently entering the clouds, an immediate plan should be made to turn back as follows: 1. Note the compass heading. 2. Note the time of the minute hand and observe the position of the sweep second hand on the clock. 3. When the sweep second hand indicates the nearest half-minute, initiate a standard rate left turn, holding the turn coordinator symbolic airplane wing opposite the lower left index mark for 60 seconds. Then roll back to level flight by leveling the miniature airplane. 4. Check accuracy of the turn by observing the compass heading which should be the reciprocal of the original heading. 5. If necessary, adjust heading primarily with skidding motions rather than rolling motions so that the compass will read more accurately. 6. Maintain altitude and airspeed by cautious application of elevator control. A void overcontrolling by keeping the hands off the control wheel as much as possible and steering only with rudder. EMERGENCY DESCENT THROUGH CLOUDS If conditions preclude reestablishment of VFR flight by a 180 0 turn, a 21 August 1981 3-13 SECTION 3 CESSNA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES MODELT182 descent through a cloud deck to VFR conditions may be appropriate. If possible, obtain radio clearance for an emergency descent through clouds. To guard against a spiral dive, choose an easterly or westerly heading to minimize compass card swings due to changing bank angles. In addition. keep hands off the control wheel and steer a straight course with rudder control by monitoring the turn coordinator. Occasionally check the compass heading and make minor corrections to hold an approximate course. Before descending into the clouds, set up a stabilized let-down condition as follows: 1. Apply full rich mixture. 2. Apply full carburetor heat. 3. Reduce power to set up a 500 to 800 ft/min rate of descent. 4. Adjust the elevator and rudder trim control wheels for a stabilized descent at 80 KIAS. 5. Keep hands off control wheel. 6. Monitor turn coordinator and make corrections by rudder alone. 7. Adjust rudder trim to relieve unbalanced rudder force, if present. 8. Check trend of compass card movement and make cautious corrections with rudder to stop turn. 9. Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight. RECOVERY FROM A SPIRAL DIVE If a spiral is encountered, proceed as follows: 1. Close the throttle. 2. Stop the turn by using coordinated aileron and rudder control to align the symbolic airplane in the turn coordinator with the horizon reference line. 3. Cautiously apply elevator back pressure to slowly reduce the indicated airspeed to 80 KIAS. 4. Adjust the elevator trim control to maintain an 80 KIAS glide. 5. Keep hands off the control wheel, using rudder control to hold a straight heading. Use rudder trim to relieve unbalanced rudder force, if present. 6. Apply carburetor heat as necessary. 7. Clear engine occasionally, but avoid using enough power to disturb the trimmed glide. 8. Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight. INADVERTENT FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS Flight into icing conditions is prohibited. An inadvertent encounter with these conditions can best be handled using the checklist procedures. The best procedure, of course, is to turn back or change altitude to escape 3-14 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 3 MODEL T182 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES icing conditions. STATIC SOURCE BLOCKED If erroneous instrument readings are suspected due to water, ice or other foreign matter in the pressure lines going to the standard external static pressure sources, the static pressure alternate source valve should be pulled on. A chart in Section 5 provides a correction which may be applied to the indicated airspeeds listed in this handbook resulting from inaccuracies in the alternate static source pressures. To avoid the possibil ity of large errors, the windows should not be open when using the alternate static source. NOTE In an emergency on airplanes not equipped with an alternate static source, cabin pressure can be supplied to the static pressure instruments by breaking the glass in the face of the vertical speed indicator. <. SPINS Intentional spins are prohibited in this airplane. Should an inadvert ent spin occur, the following recovery procedure should be used: 1. RETARD THROTTLE TO IDLE POSITION. 2. PLACE AILERONS IN NEUTRAL POSITION. 3. APPLY AND HOLD FULL RUDDER OPPOSITE TO THE DIREC TION OF ROTATION. 4. JUST AFTER THE RUDDER REACHES THE STOP, MOVE THE WHEEL BRISKLY FORWARD FAR ENOUGH TO BREAK THE STALL. Full down elevator may be required at aft center of gravity loadings to assure optimum recoveries. 5. HOLD THESE CONTROL INPUTS UNTIL ROTATION STOPS. Premature relaxation of the control inputs may extend the recov ery. 6. AS ROTATION STOPS, NEUTRALIZE RUDDER, AND MAKE A SMOOTH RECOVERY FROM THE RESULTING DIVE. 21 August 1981 Revision 2 - 4 February 1982 3-15 SECTION 3 CESSNA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES MODEL T182 NOTE If disorientation precludes a visual determination of the direction of rotation, the symbolic airplane in the turn coordinator may be referred to for this information. ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION OR LOSS OF POWER CARBURETOR ICING An unexplained drop in manifold pressure and eventual engine roughness may result from the formation of carburetor ice. To clear the ice, apply full throttle and pull the carburetor heat knob full out until the engine runs smoothly; then remove carburetor heat and readjust the throttle. If conditions require the continued use of carburetor heat in cruise flight, use the minimum amount of heat necessary to prevent ice from forming and lean the mixture for smoothest engine operation. At high altitudes, manifold pressure drop with the application of carburetor heat may be as much as 10 inches Hg. In this case, advance the throttle as necessary to obtain the desired power or full throttle, whichever is less. 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 magneto trouble. Assuming that spark plugs are the more likely cause, lean the mixture to the recommended lean setting for cruising flight. If the problem does not clear up in several minutes, determine if a richer mixture setting will produce smoother operation. If not, proceed to the nearest airport for repairs using the BOTH position of the ignition switch unless extreme roughness dictates the use of a single ignition position. MAGNETO MALFUNCTION A sudden engine roughness or misfiring is usually evidence of magneto problems. Switching from BOTH to either L or R ignition switch position will identify which magneto is malfunctioning. Select different power settings and enrichen the mixture to determine if continued opera tion on BOTH magnetos is practicable. If not, switch to the good magneto and proceed to the nearest airport for repairs. 3-16 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 3 MODELT182 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES ENGINE - DRIVEN FUEL PUMP FAILURE In the event of an engine-driven fuel pump failure, gravity flow will provide sufficient fuel flow for level or descending flight. However, in a climbing attitude or anytime the fuel pressure drops to 3.0 PSI, the auxiliary fuel pump should be turned on. 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. A leak in the line to the gage is not necessarily cause for an immediate precau tionary landing because an orifice in this line will prevent a sudden loss of oil from the engine sump. However, a landing at the nearest airport would be advisable to inspect the source of trouble. If a total loss of oil pressure is accompanied by a rise in oil tempera ture, 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. ( ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS Malfunctions in the electrical power supply system can be detected by periodic monitoring of the ammeter and low-voltage warning light; however, the cause of these malfunctions is usually difficult to determine. A broken alternator drive belt or wiring is most likely the cause of alternator failures, although other factors could cause the problem. A defective alternator control unit can also cause malfunctions. Problems of this nature constitute an electrical emergency and should be dealt with immediately. Electrical power malfunctions usually fall into two catego ries: excessive rate of charge and insufficient rate of charge. The para graphs below describe the recommended remedy for each 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. 21 August 1981 3-17 SECTION 3 CESSNA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES MODEL T182 Electronic components in the electrical system can be adversely affected by higher than normal voltage. The alternator control unit includes an over-voltage sensor which normally will automatically shut down the alternator if the charge voltage reaches approximately 31.5 volts. H the over-voltage sensor malfunctions, as evidenced by an excessive rate of charge shown on the ammeter, the alternator should be turned off, alternator circuit breaker pulled, nonessential electrical equipment turned off and the flight terminated as soon as practical. INSUFFICIENT RATE OF CHARGE NOTE Illumination of the low-voltage light and ammeter dis charge indications may occur during low RPM conditions with an electrical load on the system, such as during a low RPM taxi. Under these conditions, the light will go out at higher RPM. The master switch need not be recycled since an over-voltage condition has not occurred to de-activate the alternator system. If the over-voltage sensor should shut down the alternator, or if the alternator output is low, a discharge rate will be shown on the ammeter followed by illumination of the low-voltage warning light. Since this may be a "nuisance" trip-out, an attempt should be made to reactivate the alternator system. To do this, turn the avionics power switch off, check that the alternator circuit breaker is in, then turn both sides of the master switch off and then on again. If the problem no longer exists, normal alternator charging will resume and the low-voltage light will go off. The avionics power switch may then be turned back on. 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. Battery power must be conserved for later operation of the wing flaps and, if the emergency occurs at night, for possible use of the landing lights during landing. 3-18 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL T182 NORMAL PROCEDURES SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction . . . . . . . . 4-3 Speeds For Nonnal Operation 4-3 CHECKLIST PROCEDURES Preflight Inspection 4-5 Cabin ..... 4-5 Empennage 4-5 Right Wing, Trailing Edge 4-5 Right Wing 4-5 Nose . 4-6 Left Wing . 4-6 Left Wing, Leading Edge 4-7 Left Wing, Trailing Edge 4-7 Before Starting Engine 4-7 Starting Engine 4-7 Before Takeoff . . . 4-8 Takeoff . 4-9 Normal Takeoff 4-9 Short Field Takeoff 4-9 Enroute Climb . . . . 4-10 Normal Climb 4-10 Maximum Performance Climb 4-10 Cruise 4-10 Descent .... 4-10 Before Landing 4-11 Landing .... 4-11 Normal Landing 4-11 Short Field Landing 4-11 Balked Landing 4-11 After Landing . . 4-12 Securing Airplane 4-12 21 August 1981 4-1 SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES TABLE OF CONTENTS (Continued) AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES PrenightInspection Starting Engine Taxiing ...

The Preflight Inspection, described in figure 4-1 and adjacent check list, is recommended for the first flight of the day. Inspection procedures for subsequent flights are normally limited to brief checks of control surface hinges, fuel and oil quantity, and security of fuel and oil filler caps and draining of the fuel strainer, fuel tank sumps and fuel selector valve. If the airplane has been in extended storage, has had recent major mainte nance, or has been operated from marginal airports, a more extensive exterior inspection is recommended. After major maintenance has been performed, the flight and trim tab controls should be double-checked for free and correct movement and security. The security of all inspection plates on the airplane should be checked following periodic inspections. If the airplane has been waxed or polished, check the external static pressure source holes for stoppage. If the airplane has been exposed to much ground handling in a crowded hangar, it should be checked for dents and scratches on wings, fuselage, and tail surfaces, as well as damage to navigation and anti-collision lights, and avionics antennas. Outside storage for long periods may result in dust and dirt accumula tion on the induction air filter, obstructions in airspeed system lines, and condensation in fuel tanks. If any water is detected in the fuel system, the fuel tank sump quick-drain valves, fuel selector quick-drain valve, and fuel strainer drain should all be thoroughly drained until there is no evidence of water or sediment contamination. Outside storage in windy or gusty areas, or tie-down adjacent to taxiing airplanes, calls for special attention to control surface stops, hinges, and brackets to detect the presence of wind damage. If the airplane has been operated from muddy fields or in snow or slush, check the main and nose gear wheel fairings for obstructions and cleanliness. Operation from a gravel or cinder field will require extra attention to propeller tips and abrasion on leading edges of the horizontal tail. Stone damage to the propeller can seriously reduce the fatigue life of the blades. Airplanes that are operated from rough fields, especially at high altitudes, are subjected to abnormal landing gear abuse. Frequently check all components of the landing gear, shock strut, tires, and brakes. If the shock strut is insufficiently extended, undue landing and taxi loads will be subjected on the airplane structure. 21 August 1981 4-13 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL T182 To prevent loss of fuel in flight, make sure the fuel tank filler caps are tightly sealed after any fuel system check or servicing. Fuel system vents ( should also be inspected for obstructions, ice or water, especially after exposure to cold, wet weather. STARTING ENGINE Proper fuel management and throttle adjustments are the determining factors in securing an easy start from your turbocharged, carbureted engine. The procedure outlined in this section should be followed closely as it is effective under nearly all operating conditions. Conventional full rich mixture and high RPM propeller settings are used for starting; however, the throttle should be fully closed. When ready to start, place the ignition switch in the start position. Inwarm weather, if the engine does not start after 5 seconds of cranking, crack the throttle 1/8 inch open and crank again. When the engine starts, slowly adjust the throttle to the desired idle speed. NOTE The carburetor used on this airplane does not have an accelerator pump; therefore, pumping of the throttle must be avoided during starting because doing so will only cause excessive leaning. In cold weather, 2 strokes of the primer may be necessary prior to starting. During extremely cold temperatures, up to 4 strokes of the primer may be necessary. NOTE Additional details concerning cold weather starting and operation may be found under COLD WEATHER OPERA TION paragraphs in this section. TAXIING When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to a minimum and that all controls be utilized (see Taxiing Diagram, figure 4 2) to maintain directional control and balance. The carburetor heat control knob should be pushed full in during all ground operations unless heat is absolutely necessary for smooth engine operation. When the knob is pulled out to the heat position, air entering the engine is not filtered. 4-14 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL T182 NORMAL PROCEDURES •......;.;;;;;;;; ......... oO! .....•. ::.::::: . •.;.:-;.; .... NOTE CODE Strong quartering tail winds require caution. WIND DIRECTION • Avoid sudden bursts of the throttle and sharp braking when the airplane is in this attitude. Use the steerable nose wheel and rudder to ma:ntain direction. \ Fig'ure 4-2. Taxiing Diagram 21 August 1981 4-15 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL T182 Taxiing over loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine speed to avoid abrasion and stone damage to the propeller tips. BEFORE TAKEOFF WARM-UP Since the engine is closely cowled for efficient in-flight cooling, precautions should be taken to avoid overheating on the ground. Full power checks on the ground are not recommended unless the pilot has good reason to suspect that the engine is not turning up properly. MAGNETO CHECK The mag'neto check should be made at 1700 RPM as follows. Move ignition switch first to R position and note RPM. Next move switch back to BOTH to clear the other set of plugs. Then move switch to the L position. note RPM and return the switch to the BOTH position. RPM drop should not exceed 175 RPM on either magneto or show greater than 50 RPM differen tial between magnetos. 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 faul ty grounding of one side of the ignition system or should be cause for suspicion that the magneto timing is set in advance of the setting specified. ALTERNATOR CHECK Prior to flights where verificati.on of proper alternator and alternator control unit operation is essential (such as night or instrument flights), a positive verification can be made by loading the electrical system momentarily (3 to 5 seconds) with the landing lights during' the engine runup (1700 RPM). The ammeter will remain within a needle width of the initial reading if the alternator and alternator control unit are operating properly. TAKEOFF POWER CHECK It is important to check takeoff power early in the takeoff roll. Full throttle will not be necessary to maintain the maximum rated manifold pressure. Any sign of rough engine operation or sluggish engine accelera tion is good cause for discontinuing the takeoff. 4-16 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODELT182 NORMAL PROCEDURES Full power runups over loose gravel are especially harmful to pro peller tips. When takeoffs 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 into it. When unavoidable small dents appear in the propeller blades they should be corrected immediately as described in Section 8 under Propeller Care. After a manifold pressure of 31 inches Hg is obtained, adjust the throttle friction lock clockwise to prevent the throttle from creeping from a maximum power position. Similar friction lock adjustment should be made as required in other flight conditions to maintain a fixed throttle setting. WING FLAP SETTINGS Normal takeoffs are accomplished with wing flaps 0° to 20°. Using 20° wing flaps reduces the ground roll and total distance over an obstacle by approximately 20 per cent. Flap deflections greater than 20° are not approved for takeoff. If 20° wing flaps are used for takeoff, they should be left down until all obstacles are cleared and a safe flap retraction speed of 70 KIAS is reached. To clear an obstacle with wing flaps 20°, an obstacle clearance speed of 58 KIAS should be used. Soft field takeoffs are performed with 20° flaps by lifting the airplane off the ground as soon as practical in a slightly tail-low attitude. If no obstacles are ahead, the airplane should be leveled off immediately to accelerate to a safer climb speed. With wing flaps retracted and no obstructions ahead, a climb-out speed of 87 KIAS would be most efficient. CROSSWIND TAKEOFF Takeoffs into strong crosswinds normally are performed with the minimum flap setting necessary for the field length, to minimize the drift angle immediately after takeoff. With the ailerons partially deflected into \ the wind, the airplane is accelerated to a speed slightly higher than normal, and 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. 21 August 1981 4-17 :ECTION 4 CESSNA WRMAL PROCEDURES MODEL T182 :NROUTE CLIMB Normal climbs are performed at 90-100 KIAS with flaps up, 25 inches of nanifold pressure, 2400 RPM, and full rich mixture for the best combina- ( ;ion of engine cooling, rate of climb and forward visibility. If it is 1ecessary to climb rapidly to clear mountains or reach favorable winds at 1igh altitudes, the best rate-of-climb speed should be used with maximum power of 31 inches Hg, 2400 RPM and full rich mixture. This speed is 87 KIAS at sea level, decreasing to 84 KIAS at 20,000 feet. If an obstruction ahead requires a steep climb angle, a best angle-of climb speed should be used with flaps up and maximum power. This speed is 73 KIAS at sea level, increasing to 75 KIAS at 10,000 feet. CRUISE Normal cruising is performed between 55% and 75% power. The corresponding power settings and fuel consumption for various altitudes can be determined by using your Cessna Power Computer or the data in Section 5. NOTE \' Cruising should be done at 75% power as much as practical until a total of 25 hours has accumulated or oil consump tion has stabilized. Operation at this higher power will ensure proper seating of the rings and is applicable to new engines. and engines in service following cylinder replacement or top overhaul of one or more cylinders. The Cruise Performance Table, figure 4-3, illustrates the true airspeed and nautical miles per gallon during cruise for various altitudes and percent powers. This table should be used as a guide, along with the available winds aloft information, to determine the most favorable alti tudes and power setting for a given trip. The selection of cruise altitude on the basis of the most favorable wind conditions and the use of low power settings are significant factors that should be considered on every trip to reduce fuel consumption. For reduced noise levels. it is desirable to select the lowest RPM in th, green arc range for a given percent power that will provide smooth engil ( operation. The cowl flaps should be opened, if necessary, to maintain ti cylinder head temperature at approximately two-thirds of the norma operating range (green arc). 4·18 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL T182 NORMAL PROCEDURES 75% POWER 65% POWER 55% POWER ALTITUDE KTAS NMPG KTAS NMPG KTAS NMPG 5000 10,000 15,000 20,000 139 145 151 158 9.8 10.2 10.6 11.1 130 135 141 147 10.5 10.9 11.4 11.9 120 124 129 133 11.3 11.7 12.1 12.5 Standard Condi tions Zero Wind Figure 4-3. Cruise Performance Table Cruise performance data in this handbook and on the power computer is based on a recommended lean mixture setting which is established by reference to exhaust gas temperature (EGT) as shown on the Cessna Economy Mixture Indicator. To adjust the mixture, lean to establish the peak EGT as a reference point and then enrichen the mixture by 50°F. For best fuel economy the engine may be operated at peak EGT. This results in approximately 7% greater range than shown in this handbook accompanied by approximately 4 knots decrease in speed. When leaning the mixture under some conditions, engine roughness may occur before peak EGT is reached. In this case, continue to lean until peak EGT is established, then enrichen to any desired mixture setting that allows smooth engine operation. The mixture may be leaned during descent to provide smooth engine operation and improved fuel economy. Any change in altitude, power or carburetor heat will require a change in the mixture setting and a recheck of the EGT. Carburetor ice. as evidenced by an unexplained drop in manifold pressure, can be removed by application of full carburetor heat. Upon ~egainingthe original manifold pressure indication (with heat off), use the .ninimum amount of heat (by trial and error) to prevent ice from forming. When operating above approximately 5000 feet at maximum recommended cruise power, the heat available from turbocharging increases with altitude and carburetor icing becomes less likely. 21 August 1981 4-19 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODELT182 MIXTURE DESCRIPTION EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE RECOMMENDED LEAN (Pilot's Operating Handbook and Power Computer) 500 F Rich of Peak EGT BEST ECONOMY Peak EGT ( Figure 4-4. EGT Table Carburetor heat may be used as an alternate air source in the event the induction air filter becomes blocked. However, since application of full carburetor heat at high altitudes may result in the loss of as much as 10 inches of manifold pressure, carburetor heat should be used only as necessary. With carburetor heat on, throttle and mixture should be readjusted as necessary. STALLS The stall characteristics are conventional and aural warning is provided by a stall warning horn which sounds between 5 and 10 knots above the stall in all configurations. Altitude loss during stall recovery may be as much as 300 feet. Power-off stall speeds at maximum weight for both forward and aft C.G. positions are presented in Section 5, LANDING NORMAL LANDING Landings should be made on the main wheels first to reduce the landing speed and the subsequent need for braking in the landing roll. The nose wheel is lowered gently to the runway after the speed has diminished to avoid unnecessary nose gear load. This procedure is especially impor tant in rough field landings. 4-20 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL T182 NORMAL PROCEDURES SHORT FIELD LANDING For a short field landing, make a power-off approach at 61 KIAS with full flaps and land on the main wheels first. Immediately after touchdown, I lower the nose gear to the ground and apply heavy braking as required. For maximum brake effectiveness after all three wheels are on the ground, retract the flaps, hold full nose up elevator and apply maximum possible brake pressure without sliding the tires. CROSSWIND LANDING When landing in a strong crosswind. use the minimum flap setting required for the field length. Although the crab or combination method of drift correction may be used. the wing-low method gives the best control. After touchdown, hold a straight course with the steerable nose wheel and occasional braking if necessary. BALKED LANDING In a balked landing (go-around) climb. the wing flap setting should be reduced to 20° immediately after full power is applied. After all obstacles are cleared and a safe altitude and airspeed are obtained. the wing flaps should be retracted. To prevent overboosting the engine, power should then be reduced to approximately 25 inches of manifold pressure before the carburetor heat control is placed in the cold position. COLD WEATHER OPERATION STARTING Prior to starting on cold mornings, it is advisable to pull the propeller through several times by hand to "break loose" or "limber" the oil, thus conserving battery energy. 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 magneto could cause the engine to fire. In extremely cold (-18°C and lower) weather, the use of an external pre heater and an external power source are recommended whenever possible to obtain positive starting and to reduce wear and abuse to the engine and the electrical system. Pre-heat will thaw the oil trapped in the oil cooler, which probably will be congealed prior to starting in extremely cold 21 August 1981 Revision 1 - 4 December 1981 4-21 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL T182 temperatures. When using an external power source, the position of the master switch is important. Refer to Section 9, Supplements. for Ground Service Plug Receptacle operating details. Cold weather starting procedures are as follows: With Preheat: 1. Prime -- 1 to 2 STROKES. (Use heavy strokes of primer for best atomization of fuel.) 2. Primer -- LOCK. 3. Carburetor Heat -- COLD. 4. Throttle -- CLOSED until engine starts. NOTE Pumping of the throttle will make starting more difficult due to a rapidly varying mixture. The carburetor is not equipped with an accelerator pump. 5. Propeller -- HIGH RPM. 6. Mixture -- FULL RICH. 7. Propeller Area -- CLEAR. 8. Master Switch -- ON. / '\ 9. Auxiliary Fuel Pump -- ON (check for rise in fuel pressure), then OFF. 10. Ignition Switch -- START (release to BOTH when engine starts). 11. Oil Pressure -- CHECK. Without Preheat: 1. Prime -- 2 to 4 STROKES. 2. Primer -- LOCKED. 3. Carburetor Heat -- COLD. 4. Throttle -- CLOSED until engine starts. NOTE Pumping of the throttle will make starting more difficult due to a rapidly varying mixture. The carburetor is not equipped with an accelerator pump. 5. Propeller -- HIGH RPM. 6. Mixture -- FULL RICH. 7. Propeller Area -- CLEAR. 8. Master Switch -- ON. 9. Auxiliary Fuel Pump -- ON (check for rise in fuel pressure). then OFF. 10. Ignition Switch -- START (release to BOTH when engine starts). 4-22 21 August 1981 CESSNA SECTION 4 MODEL T182 NORMAL PROCEDURES NOTE ( If the engine does not start during the first few attempts. or if engine firing diminishes in strength. it is probable that the spark plugs have been frosted over. Preheat must be used before another start is attempted. 11. Oil Pressure -- CHECK. OPERATION During cold weather operations. no indication will be apparent on the oil temperature gage prior to takeoff if outside air temperatures are very cold. After a suitable warm-up period (2 to 5 minutes at 1000 RPM). smoothly accelerate the engine several times to higher engine RPM. If the engine accelerates smoothly and the oil pressure remains normal and steady, the airplane is ready for takeoff. Rough engine operation in cold weather can be caused by a combina tion of an inherently leaner mixture due to the dense air and poor vaporization and distribution of the fuel-air mixture to the cylinders. The effects of these conditions are especially noticeable during operation on one magneto in ground checks where only one spark plug fires in each cylinder. For optimum operation of the engine in cold weather, the appropriate use of carburetor heat may be necessary. The following procedures are indicated as a guideline: 1. Use the minimum carburetor heat required for smooth operation in takeoff, climb. and cruise. NOTE Care should be exercised when using partial carburetor heat to avoid icing. Partial heat may raise the carburetor air temperature to 0° to 21°C range where icing is critical under certain atmospheric conditions. 2. The carburetor air temperature gage can be used as a reference in maintaining carburetor air temperature at or slightly above the top of the yellow arc by application of carburetor heat. HOT WEATHER OPERATION The general warm temperature starting information in this section is appropriate. Avoid prolonged engine operation on the ground. 21 August 1981 4-23 SECTION 4 CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL T182 NOISE CHARACTERISTICS Increased emphasis on improving the quality of our environment requires renewed effort on the part of all pilots to minimize the effect of airplane noise on the public. We, as pilots, can demonstrate our concern for environmental improvement, by application of the following suggested procedures, and thereby tend to build pUblic support for aviation: 1. Pilots operating aircraft under VFR over outdoor assemblies of persons, recreational and park areas, and other noise-sensitive areas should make every effort to fly not less than 2000 feet above the surface, weather permitting, even though flight at a lower level may be consistent with the provisions of government regulations. 2. During departure from or approach to an airport, climb after takeoff and descent for landing should be made so as to avoid prolonged flight at low altitude near noise-sensitive areas. NOTE The above recommended procedures do not apply where they would conflict with Air Traffic Control clearances or instructions, or where, in the pilot's judgment, an altitude of less than 2000 feet is necessary for him to adequately exercise his duty to see and avoid other aircraft. The certificated noise level for the Model T182 at 3100 pounds maxi mum weight is 72.5 dB(A) with a two-bladed propeller and 68.8 dB(A) with a three-bladed propeller. No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise levels of this airplane are or should be acceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into, or out of. any airport. 4-24 21 August 1981 SAFETY 6 WARNINGoCD c z ~ Vacuum I Pressure Gyroscopic ~ Flight Instrument Power System ~ a:: w a. o (.

Box 4032 Elyria, Ohio 44036 USA (440) 284-6300 51 300-7 12/8/86 (Reprint 6100) Subject: SAFETY WARNING - Vacuum/Pressure Gyroscopic Flight Instrument Power System. Applicability: This document communicates safety warning information concerning aircraft using air pumps to power gyro flight instruments while flying Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ~ MAY RESULT IN DEATH, BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: o o 1. A BACK-UP PNEUMATIC POWER SOURCE FOR THE CO C AIR DRIVEN GYROS, OR A BACK-UP ELECTRIC z ATTITUDE GYRO INSTRUMENT, MUST BE INSTALLED IN « ALL AIRCRAFT WHICH FLY IFA. :I: .C!' 2. ANY INOPERATIVE AIR PUMP OR OTHER COMPONENT OF THE GYRO SYSTEM, AND ANY INOPERATIVE z BACK-UP SYSTEM OR COMPONENT, MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE NEXT FLIGHT. !«a:: w3 THIS PILOT SAFETY WARNING MUST BE PERMANENTLY a. RETAINED IN THE PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK oFOR THE AIRCRAFT INTO WHICH THIS AIR PUMP IS INSTALLED. Explanation: Failure of the air pump or any other component of the pneumatic system during IFR flight in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) can lead to spatial disorientation of the pilot and subsequent loss of aircraft control. This could result in an accident causing death, bodily injury, or property damage. C/) ~ Use of single-engine aircraft in IMC is increasing. Many single-engine o...J aircraft do not have a back-up pneumatic power source or back-up electric attitude gyro instruments. In aircraft without such back-up a. devices, the pilot due to added workload may not be able to fly the Z aircraft with only "partial panel" instruments (that is, turn and slip indicator, altimeter, and airspeed indicator) in the event of primary air w pump or pneumatic system failure during IMC. 5Air pump or pneumatic system failures can and do occur without warn a.ing. This can be a result of various factors, including but not limited to normal wear-out of components, improper installation or maintenance, premature failure, or the use of substandard overhauled components. It is recommended that an annunciator light or other device be installed to warn the pilot of loss af gyro power so that the pilot can take cor rective action prior to the loss of correct gyro information. Since air pump life cannot be accurately predicted and air pumps can fail without warning, the instructions set forth in this document must be followed.
