ALPHABETICAL INDEX 7-1 Index-1 This manual describes the operation and performance of the Standard Model 150, the Trainer and the Commuter. Equip- ment described as "Optional" denotes that the subject equipment is optional on the Standard airplane. Much of this equipment is standard on the Trainer and Commuter. iii Section I OPERATING CHECK LIST One of the first steps in obtaining the utmost performance, service, and flying enjoyment from your Cessna is to familiarize yourself with your airplane's equipment, systems, and controls. This can best be done by reviewing this equipment while sitting in the airplane. Those items whose function and operation are not obvious are covered in Section II. Section I lists, in Pilot's Check List form, the steps necessary to operate your airplane efficiently and safely. It is not a check list in its true form as it is considerably longer, but it does cover briefly all of the points that you should know for a typical flight. The flight and operational characteristics of your airplane are normal in all respects. There are no unconventional characteristics or oper- ations that need to be mastered. All controls respond in the normal way within the entire range of operation. All airspeeds mentioned in Sections I, II and III are indicated airspeeds. Corresponding calibrated airspeeds may be obtained from the Airspeed Correction Table in Section VI. BEFORE ENTERING THE AIRPLANE. (1) Make an exterior inspection in accordance with figure 1-1.

Section II DESCRIPTION AND OPERATING DETAILS The following paragraphs describe the systems and equipment whose function and operation is not obvious when sitting in the airplane. This section also covers in somewhat greater detail some of the items listed in Check List form in Section I that require further explanation. FUEL SYSTEM. Fuel is supplied to the engine from two tanks, one in each wing. From these tanks, fuel flows by gravity through a fuel shutoff valve and fuel strainer to the carburetor. Refer to figure 2-2 for fuel quantity data. For fuel system service information, refer to Lubrication and Servicing Procedures in Section V. FUEL STRAINER DRAIN KNOB. Refer to fuel strainer servicing procedure, Section V. FUEL QUANTITY DATA (U.S. GALLONS) TANKS USABLE FUEL ALL FLIGHT TOTAL UNUSABLE FUEL FUEL CONDITIONS VOLUME TWO, STANDARD WING (13 GAL.

FUEL STRAINER RIGHT FUEL TANK CODE FUEL SUPPLY VENT MECHANICAL LINKAGE CARBURETOR TO ENGINE CYLINDERS THROTTLE #00 B MIXTURE CONTROL KNOB Figure 2-3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Electrical energy is supplied by a 14-volt, direct-current system powered by an engine-driven alternator (see figure 2-4). A 12-volt battery is located on the right, forward side of the firewall just inside the cowl access door. Power is supplied through a single bus bar; a master switch controls this power to all circuits, except the engine ignition sys- tem, optional clock and optional flight hour recorder (operative only when the engine is operating). MASTER SWITCH. " The master switch is a split-rocker type switch labeled "MASTER, and is "ON" in the up position and "OFF" in the down position. The right half of the switch, labeled "BAT," controls all electrical power to the airplane. The left half, labeled "ALT," controls the alternator. Normally, both sides of the master switch should be used simulta- neously, however, the "BAT" side of the switch could be turned "ON separately to check equipment while on the ground. The "ALT" side of the switch, when placed in the "OFF" position, removes the alternator from the electrical system. With this switch in the "OFF" position, the entire electrical load is placed on the battery, and all non-essential elec- trical equipment should be turned off for the remainder of the flight. AMMETER. ་་ The ammeter indicates the flow of current, in amperes, from the alternator to the battery or from the battery to the aircraft electrical system. When the engine is operating and the master switch is "ON, the ammeter indicates the charging rate applied to the battery. In the event the alternator is not functioning or the electrical load exceeds the output of the alternator, the ammeter indicates the discharge rate of the battery. FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS. Fuses on the left lower portion of the instrument panel protect the majority of electrical circuits in the airplane. Labeling below each fuse retainer indicates the circuits protected by the fuses. Fuse capacity is shown on each fuse retainer cap. Fuses are removed by pressing the fuse retainers inward and rotating them counterclockwise until they dis- engage. The faulty fuse may then be lifted out and replaced. Spare fuses are held in a clip on the inside of the map compartment door. 2-3
