CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY FOR TRAINING USE ONLY
MODEL 152 3-7
WING FIRE
1. Navigation Light Switch – OFF.
2. Strobe Light Switch (if installed) – OFF.
3. Pitot Heat Switch (if installed) – OFF.
NOTE
Perform a side slip to keep the flames away from the fuel tank and cabin,
and land as soon as possible, with flaps retracted.
ICING
INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER
1. Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed).
2. Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conducive to icing.
3. Pull cabin heat control full out to obtain maximum defroster air temperature. For greater air
flow at reduced temperatures, adjust the cabin air control as required.
4. Open the throttle to increase engine speed and minimize ice build-up on propeller blades.
5. Watch for signs of carburetor air filter ice and apply carburetor heat as required. An unexpected
loss in engine speed could be caused by carburetor ice or air intake filter ice. Lean the mixture
for maximum RPM, if carburetor heat is used continuously.
6. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid ice build-up, select a suitable “off
airport” landing site.
7. With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for
significantly higher stall speed.
8. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build-up on the horizontal tail, the change in wing
wake airflow direction caused by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator
effectiveness.
9. Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from a portion of the windshield for visibility in the
landing approach.
10. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary, for improved visibility.
11. Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of ice accumulation.
12. Perform a landing in level attitude.
LANDING WITH A FLAT MAIN TIRE
1. Wing Flaps – AS DESIRED.
2. Approach – NORMAL.
3. Touchdown – GOOD TIRE FIRST, hold airplane off flat tire as long as possible with aileron
control.
