DESCRIPTIONS
CESSNA
MODEL
152
Moving
the
airplane
by
hand
is
most
easily
accomplished
by
attaching
a
tow
bar
to
the
nose
gear
strut.
If
a
tow
bar
is
not
available,
or
pushing
is
required,
use
the
wing
struts
as
push
points.
Do
not
use
the
vertical
or
horizontal
surfaces
to
move
the
airplane.
If
the
airplane
is
to
be
towed
by
vehicle,
never
turn
the
nose
wheel
more
than
30°
either
side
of
center
or
structural
damage
to
the
nose
gear
could
result.
The
minimum
turning
radius
of
the
airplane,
using
differential
braking
and
nose
wheel
steering
during
taxi,
is
approximately
24
feet
8
inches.
To
obtain
a
minimum
radius
turn
during
ground
handling,
the
airplane
may
be
rotated
around
either
main
landing
gear
by
pressing
down
on
the
tail
cone
just
forward
of
the
vertical
stabilizer
to
raise
the
nose
wheel
off
the
ground.
WING
FLAP SYSTEM
The
wing
flaps
are
of
the
single-slot
type
(see
figure
7-3),
and
are
extended
or
retracted
by
positioning
the
wing
flap
switch
lever
on
the
instrument
panel
to
the
desired
flap
deflection
position.
The
switch
lever
is
moved
up
or
down
in
a
slot
in
the
instrument
panel
that
provides
mechanical
stops
at
the
10°
and
20°
positions.
For
flap
settings
greater
than
10°,
move
the
switch
lever
to
the
right
to
clear
the
stop
and
position
it
as
desired.
A
scale
and
pointer
on
the
left
side
of
the
switch
lever
indicates
flap
travel
in
degrees.
The
wing
flap
system
circuit
is
protected
by
a 15-
ampere
circuit
breaker,
labeled
FLAP,
on
the
right
side
of
the
instrument
panel.
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
gearwheel
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
