CESSNA SECTION 3
MODEL 152 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
1 July 1978 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 sideslip 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 buildup 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.
