CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY
MODEL 152 7-10
LANDING GEAR SYSTEM
The landing gear is of the tricycle type with a steerable nose wheel and two main wheels. The landing
gear may be equipped with wheel fairings. Shock absorption is provided by the tubular spring-steel
main landing gear struts and the air/oil nose gear shock strut. Each main gear wheel is equipped with a
hydraulically actuated disc-type brake on the inboard side of each wheel. When wheel fairings are
installed an aerodynamic fairing covers each brake.
BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT
The baggage compartment consists of the area from the back of the pilot and passenger’s seats to the
aft cabin bulkhead. Access to the baggage compartment is gained from within the airplane cabin. A
baggage net with six tie-down straps is provided for securing baggage and is attached by tying the straps
to tie-down rings provided in the airplane. When loading the airplane, children should not be placed or
permitted in the baggage compartment, unless a child’s seat is installed, and any material that might be
hazardous to the airplane or occupants should not be placed anywhere in the airplane. For baggage
area dimensions, refer to Section 6.
SEATS
The seats arrangement consists of two separate adjustable seats for the pilot and passenger and, if
installed, a child’s seat in the rear cabin area. The pilot’s and passenger’s seats are available in two
designs: four-way and six-way adjustable.
Four-way seats may be moved forward or aft, and the seat back angle changed. To position either seat,
lift the lever under the inboard corner of the seat, slide the seat into position, release the lever, and
check that the seat is locked in place. To adjust the seat back, pull forward on the knob under the
center of the seat and apply pressure to the back. To return the seat back to the upright position, pull
forward on the exposed portion of the seat back frame. Both seat backs will also fold full forward.
The six-way seats may be moved forward or aft, adjusted for height, and the seat back angle changed.
Position either seat by lifting the tubular handle under the inboard front corner of the seat bottom and
slide the seat to the desired position. Release the lever and check that the seat is locked in place. The
seats may be raised or lowered two inches, in one inch steps, and should be adjusted prior to flight. To
raise or lower either seat, pull forward on a “T” handle under the seat near the inboard corner, force the
seat down against spring tension or allow spring tension to raise it to the desired position, release the
“T” handle, and then allow the seat to move until it locks in place. Seat back angle is adjustable by
rotating a lever on the ear inboard corner of each seat. To adjust either seat back, rotate the lever aft
and apply pressure against the back until it stops moving; then release the lever. The seat back may be
returned to the upright position by pulling forward on the exposed portion of the lower seat back frame.
Check that the release lever has returned to its vertical position. Both seat backs will fold full forward.
A child’s seat is available for installation in the rear of the cabin. The seat back is secured to the cabin
sidewalls, and the seat bottom is attached to brackets on the floor. This seat is non-adjustable.
