Overview

This document is a checklist for the Cessna 350 (LC42-550FG), detailing normal procedures for flight operations. It includes preflight inspections, engine start procedures, takeoff, landing, and emergency operations. The checklists are designed to ensure that pilots follow systematic procedures to maintain safety and efficiency during flight. The document is intended for pilots operating the Cessna 350 and provides essential information for normal flight operations, including airspeeds, weights, and operational limits.

  • Maximum gross weight: 3400 lbs (1542 kg)
  • Takeoff airspeed: 106-115 KIAS

Indicated Airspeeds for Normal Operations

This section provides a table of indicated airspeeds for various flight phases at maximum gross weight of 3400 lbs. Key speeds include: Takeoff (106-115 KIAS), Normal Climb (78 KIAS), Best Rate of Climb at Sea Level (106 KIAS), and Approach to Landing (80-85 KIAS). The maximum demonstrated crosswind velocity is 23 knots.

Normal Procedures Checklists

The checklists cover preflight inspections, engine start procedures, taxiing, takeoff, and landing. For example, during preflight, pilots must check the pitot tube cover, ignition switch, fuel quantity indicators, and ensure all required documents are available.

Starting Engine Procedures

The checklist outlines procedures for starting both cold and hot engines, including mixture settings, throttle positions, and checks for oil pressure. For cold starts, the mixture should be rich, and the throttle should be opened approximately one inch.

Normal Takeoff Procedures

Normal takeoff procedures include ensuring the mixture is set as required, advancing the throttle to full power (2700 RPM), and lifting the nose at 75 KIAS. Climb speed should be achieved at 115 KIAS.

Normal Landing Procedures

Normal landing procedures specify approach airspeeds based on flap settings, with touchdown on main wheels first and gentle lowering of the nose wheel during the landing roll.

Safety notes

  • Ensure the pitot tube is not hot before touching it during preflight checks.
  • If no oil pressure is noted within 30 seconds of starting, shut down the engine immediately.

Cessna 350 (LC42-550FG) Section 4 Normal Procedures INTRODUCTION Section 4 Normal Procedures Section 4 contains checklists for normal procedures. As mentioned in Section 3, the owner of this handbook is encouraged to copy or otherwise tabulate the following normal procedures checklists in a format that is usable under flight conditions. Plastic laminated pages printed on both sides and bound together (if more than one sheet) are preferable. The first portion of Section 4 contains various checklists appropriate for normal operations. The last portion of this section contains an amplified discussion in a narrative format. INDICATED AIRSPEEDS FOR NORMAL OPERATIONS The speeds tabulated below, Figure 4 - 1, provide a general overview for normal operations and are based on a maximum certificated gross weight of 3400 pounds. At weights less than maximum certificated gross weight, the indicated airspeeds are different. The pilot should refer to Section 5 for specific configuration data.

For this reason the operational check must be performed out of sequence. The pitot heat system includes a relay which will keep it from getting too hot on the ground. Full pitot heat is only available during flight. !WARNING! The pitot tube can get hot within one minute, and care must be used when touching the housing.

Brakes-RELEASE !WARNING! The absence of RPM drop when checking magnetos may indicate a malfunction in the ignition circuit resulting in a hot magneto, i.e., one that is not grounding properly. Should the propeller be moved by hand (as during preflight inspection) the engine might start and cause death or injury. This type of malfunction must be corrected before operating the engine. \CAUTION! Do not underestimate the importance of pre-takeoff magneto checks. When operating on single ignition, some RPM drop should always occur. Normal indications are 25 to 75 RPM and a slight engine roughness as each magneto is switched off. A drop in excess of 150 RPM may indicate a faulty magneto or fouled spark plugs. NOTE When checking the oxygen flowmeter, the reading is taken at the midpoint of the ball. Ensure the flowmeter is held vertically when adjusting flow rate or reading. MINOR SPARK PLUG FOULING (Minor plug fouling can usually be cleared as follows.) I. Brakes- HOLD BRAKES MANUALLY 2. Throttle- 2200 RPM 3. Mixture - ADJUST FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE (Move towards idle cutoff until RPM peaks, and hold for IO seconds. Return mixture to full rich.) 4. Throttle- 1700 RPM 5.

Do not operate the engine at a speed of more than 2000 RPM longer than necessary to test engine operations and observe engine instruments. Proper engine cooling depends on forward speed. Discontinue testing if temperature or pressure limits are approached.

Otherwise, position the airplane to use all of the runway available. CROSSWIND OPERATIONS Crosswind takeoffs and landings require a special technique but not specific procedures and, as such, do not require a dedicated checklist. Please see the amplified discussion on pages 4-24 and 4- 28 for applicable crosswind techniques. NOTE If the cross control method is used during a crosswind approach, the resulting slight sideslip causes the airspeed to read up to 5 kts higher or lower, depending on the direction of the sideslip.
