This Supplemental Airplane Flight Manual is specifically designed for the Cessna 185 series floatplanes equipped with Aerocet Model 3400 amphibious seaplane floats. It provides essential information regarding the operation, limitations, and performance of the aircraft when modified with these floats. The manual is FAA approved and must be carried in the aircraft whenever the Aerocet floats are installed. It supersedes the basic airplane markings and placards, as well as the standard Airplane Flight Manual for the Cessna 185. Pilots and operators will find detailed procedures for normal operations, emergency situations, and performance specifications tailored to the floatplane configuration. This document is crucial for ensuring safe and effective operation of the aircraft in its modified state.
