GENERAL This supplemental manual, applicable to those Cessna 180, 180A-180F Series airplanes equipped with Aerocet Model 3500 or 3500L Seaplane Floats, provides information and limitations not included in the Basic Flight Manual or approved markings and placards. SECTION 2. NORMAL PROCEDURES: (NOTE: these items supplement the basic flight manual normal procedures- be sure to follow those procedures except as noted below) BEFORE ENTERING FLOATPLANE I. Inspect the floats and attachment for dents, cracks, punctures, etc. 2. Remove rubber plugs (which serve as stoppers on the standpipe in each float compartment) and pump out any accumulation of water. Reinstall rubber stoppers with enough pressure for a snug fit. (If there is an excess of water, investigate the leakage) 3. When checking the engine oil level, use the side of the dipstick with 2 "X" marks. The lower mark indicates 9 quarts, upper mark is 12 quarts. 4. Inspect locker door latches - DETENTS ENGAGED, LATCHES TURNED CLOCKWISE TO STOPS. NOTE: An un-latched locker bay door will cause a howl and may bang against the float struts during flight. Aircraft should be returned to field in normal fashion to avoid potential damage, and to assess any possible problems. However, as with any situation, "FLY THE AIRCRAFT!" rather than make a rash decision. It is likely that little or no damage will occur to locker door. Before Starting Engine 1. Water Rudder Operation - "CHECK VISUALLY" 2. Water Rudders - "DOWN FOR TAXIING" 3. Water Rudders - "CHECK FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT & SECURITY" J- {7 Irf-.7!FAA Approved: __---,;IC--../--;1-0 _. / AER~ET PllIQO ISSUE DATE:, 5 of 10 10/21/94 INCORPORATED PILE NO.

SECTION 3. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Emergency procedures in the FAA approved airplane placards and/or Flight Manual generally apply except for airspeeds which may be different. EMERGENCY LANDINGS ON WATER should be done with water rudders up, aircraft slightly tail low on touchdown, and control wheel held full aft as the floatplane decelerates on the water. EMERGENCY LANDINGS ON LAND should be done with water rudders up, aircraft in a level attitude on touchdown, and the control wheel full aft after contact. If damage occurs to the floats causing compartments to flood, aggressively shift the weight (people & baggage) in the opposite direction of damage in order to balance the aircraft over the buoyant compartments.
