Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level. KCAS Calibrated Airspeed expressed in knots. GS Ground Speed is the speed of an airplane relative to the ground. IAS Indicated Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft as shown on the airspeed indicator when corrected for instrument error. IAS values published in this Handbook assume zero instrument error. KIAS Indicated Airspeed expressed in knots. TAS True Airspeed is the airspeed of an airplane relative to undisturbed air, which is the CAS, corrected for altitude, temperature and compressibility. V H This term refers to the maximum speed in level flight with maximum continuous power. VO The maximum operating maneuvering speed of the airplane. Do not apply full or abrupt control movements above this speed. If a maneuver is entered gradually at VO with maximum weight and full forward CG, the airplane will stall at limit load. However, limit load can be exceeded at VO if abrupt control movements are used or the CG is farther aft. VFE Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended position. VNE Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be exceeded at any time. VNO Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that must not be exceeded except in smooth air and then only with caution. VS Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable. VSO Stalling Speed or the minimum steady flight speed at which the airplane is controllable in the landing configuration. VX Best Angle-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed that delivers the greatest gain of altitude in the shortest possible horizontal distance. VY Best Rate-of-Climb Speed is the airspeed that delivers the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible time. Section 1 General Cessna 350 (LC42-550FG) RB050005 Initial Issue of Manual: December 9, 2005 1-8 Latest Revision Level/Date: H/03-20-2008 METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY ISA International Standard Atmosphere in which: 1. The air is a dry perfect gas; 2. The temperature at sea level (SL) is 15 C (59 F); 3. The pressure at SL is 29.92 inches of Hg (1013.2 mb); 4. The temperature gradient from SL to an altitude where the temperature is -56.5C (-69.7F) is -0.00198C (-.003564F) per foot, and zero above that altitude. Standard Temperature Standard Temperature is 15C (59ºF) at sea level pressure altitude and decreases 2C (3.F) for each 1000 feet of altitude. OAT Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature obtained either from in-flight temperature indications or ground meteorological sources, adjusted for instrument error and compressibility effects. Indicated Pressure Altitude The number actually read from an altimeter when the barometric subscale has been set to 29.92 inches of Hg (1013.2 mb). Pressure Altitude (PA) Altitude measured from standard sea level pressure (29.92 inches of Hg) by a pressure or barometric altimeter. It is the indicated pressure altitude corrected for position and instrument error. In this Handbook, altimeter instrument errors are assumed to be zero. Station Pressure Actual atmospheric pressure at field elevation. Wind The wind velocities recorded as variables on the charts of this handbook are to be understood as the headwind or tailwind components of the reported winds. ENGINE POWER & CONTROLS TERMINOLOGY BHP Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the engine. EGT Gauge The Exhaust Gas Temperature indicator is the instrument used to identify the lean fuel flow mixtures for various power settings. MP Manifold Pressure is the pressure measured in the intake system of the engine and is depicted as inches of Hg. MCP Maximum Continuous Power is the maximum power for abnormal or emergency operations. Maximum Cruise Power The maximum power recommended for cruise. MNOP Maximum Normal Operating Power is the maximum power for all normal operations (except takeoff). This power, in most situations, is the same as Maximum Continuous Power. Mixture Control The Mixture Control provides a mechanical linkage with the fuel control unit of fuel injection engines, to control the size of the fuel feed aperture, and thus, the air/fuel mixture. It is also a primary means to shut down the engine. Propeller Control The lever used to select a propeller speed. Section 1 Cessna 350 (LC42-550FG) General Initial Issue of Manual: December 9, 2005 RB050005 Latest Revision Level/Date: H/03-20-2008 1-9 Propeller Governor The device that regulates the RPM of the engine and propeller by increasing or decreasing the propeller pitch, through a pitch change mechanism in the propeller hub. RPM Revolutions Per Minute is a measure of engine and/or propeller speed. Stall Strip A small triangular strip installed along the leading edge of an airplane wing near the root. The stall strips force the roots of the wing to stall before the tips. The strips allow complete control throughout the stall. Tachometer An instrument that indicates propeller rotation and is expressed as revolutions per minute (RPM). Throttle The lever used to control engine power, from the lowest through the highest power, by controlling propeller pitch, fuel flow, engine speed, or any combination of these. Wing Cuff Specially shaped composite construction on the outboard leading edge of the wing. The cuff increases the camber of the airfoil and improves the slow- flight and stall characteristics of the wing. AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE & FLIGHT PLANNING TERMINOLOGY Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of the crosswind component for which adequate control of the airplane can be maintained during takeoff and landing. The value shown is not considered limiting. G A unit of acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the earth. The term is frequently used to quantify additional forces exerted on the airplane and is expressed as multiples of the basic gravitational force, e.g., a 1.7-g force. GPH Gallons Per Hour is the quantity of fuel consumed in an hour expressed in gallons. Limit Load Factor The limit load factor is expressed in multiples of gravity (g) which the airplane can safely withstand. If the limit load factor is exceeded, the airplane may be damaged. NMPG Nautical Miles per Gallon is the distance (in nautical miles) which can be expected per gallon of fuel consumed at a specific power setting and/or flight configuration. PPH Pounds Per Hour is the quantity of fuel consumed in an hour expressed in pounds. Unusable Fuel Unusable Fuel is the amount of fuel expressed in gallons that cannot safely be used in flight. Unusable Fuel is the fuel remaining after a runout test has been completed in accordance with governmental regulations. Ultimate Load Factor The ultimate load factor is 1.5 times the limit load factor. If the ultimate load factor is exceeded, the airplane can fail catastrophically. Section 1 General Cessna 350 (LC42-550FG) RB050005 Initial Issue of Manual: December 9, 2005 1-10 Latest Revision Level/Date: H/03-20-2008 Usable Fuel Usable Fuel is the quantity available that can safely be used for flight planning purposes. WEIGHT AND BALANCE Arm The Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item. Basic Empty Weight The Basic Empty Weight is the Standard Empty Weight plus optional equipment. CG The Center of Gravity is the point at which the airplane will balance if suspended. Its distance from the datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane. CG Arm The arm obtained by adding the individual moments of the airplane and dividing the sum by the total weight. CG Limits The extreme center of gravity locations within which the airplane must be operated at a given weight. Maximum Empty Weight This is the maximum allowable weight of the airplane when empty, before fuel, passengers, and baggage are added. Subtracting the minimum useful load from the maximum gross weight produces the maximum empty weight. The amount of additional equipment that can be added to the airplane is determined by subtracting the standard empty weight from the maximum empty weight. See page 6-16 for an example. Maximum Gross Weight The maximum loaded weight of an aircraft. Gross weight includes the total weight of the aircraft, the weight of the fuel and oil, and the weight of all the load it is carrying. Maximum Landing Weight The maximum weight approved for landing touchdown. Maximum Ramp Weight The maximum weight approved for ground maneuver. (It includes the weight of the fuel used for startup, taxi, and runup.) Maximum Takeoff Weight The maximum weight approved for the start of the takeoff run. Maximum Zero- Fuel Weight The maximum weight authorized for an aircraft that does not include the weight of the fuel. This weight includes the basic empty weight plus the weight of the passengers and baggage. The maximum zero-fuel weight can change depending on the center of gravity location. See Figure 2 - 4 for an example. Minimum Flight Weight This is the minimum weight permitted for flight operations and includes the basic empty weight plus fuel, pilot, passengers, and baggage. The minimum flight weight can change depending on the center of gravity location. See Figure 2 - 4 for an example. Minimum Useful Load For utility category airplanes, certified for night or IFR operations, a weight of 190 pounds for each installed seat plus the fuel weight for 45 minutes at maximum continuous power. Section 1 Cessna 350 (LC42-550FG) General Initial Issue of Manual: December 9, 2005 RB050005 Latest Revision Level/Date: H/03-20-2008 1-11 Moment The moment of a lever is the distance, in inches, between the point at which a force is applied and the fulcrum, or the point about which a lever rotates, multiplied by the force, in pounds. Moment is expressed in inch-pounds. Reference Datum This is an imaginary vertical plane from which all horizontal distances are measured for balance purposes. Standard Empty Weight This is the weight of a standard airplane including unusable fuel, full operating fluids, and full oil. Station The Station is a location along the airplane's fuselage usually given in terms of distance from the reference datum, i.e., Station 40 would be 40 inches from the reference datum. Useful Load The Useful Load is the difference between Takeoff Weight or Ramp Weight, if applicable, and Basic Empty Weight. MISCELLANEOUS Flight Time- Airplanes Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing. Time in Service Time in service, with respect to maintenance time records, means the time from the moment an aircraft leaves the surface of the earth until it touches it at the next point of landing.

The main area is centered at station 166.6 with maximum weight allowance of 120 pounds (54.4 kg). The hat rack area, which is centered at station 199.8, has a maximum weight allowance of 20 pounds (9.1 kg). When loading baggage in the main baggage compartment, Zone A (the forward portion of the main baggage area) must always be loaded first. See page 6-13 for a table of loading stations and baggage zones. OTHER WEIGHT LIMITATIONS TYPE OF WEIGHT LIMITATION FORWARD DATUM POINT AND WEIGHT AFT DATUM POINT AND WEIGHT VARIATION Minimum Flying Weight Maximum Zero Fuel Weight 103 inches and 2240 lbs. 103 inches and 2725 lbs. 110 inches and 2500 lbs. 110 inches and 3228 lbs. Straight Line Straight Line Reference Datum: The reference datum is located near the tip of the propeller spinner. As distance from the datum increases, there is an increase in weight for each of the two limitation categories. The variation is linear or straight line from the fore to the aft positions. Figure 2 - 4 CENTER OF GRAVITY LIMITS Figure 2 - 5 specifies the center of gravity limits for utility category operations. The variation along the arm between the forward and aft datum points is linear or straight line. The straight-line variation means that at any given point along the arm, an increase in moments changes directly according to the variations in weight and distance from the datum. Section 2 Limitations Cessna 350 (LC42-550FG) RB050005 Initial Issue of Manual: December 9, 2005 2-8 Latest Revision Level/Date: I/10-22-2008 CENTER OF GRAVITY TABLE CATEGORY FORWARD DATUM POINT AND WEIGHT AFT DATUM POINT AND WEIGHT VARIATION Utility Category 103 inches – 2240 to 2500 lbs. 107 inches – 3400 lbs. 110 inches 2500 to 3400 lbs.
