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.
