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 aircraft's equipment, systems,
and controls.
This can best be
done
by reviewing
this equipment while
sitting
in the
aircraft.
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
aircraft
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.
An abbreviated check list
covering
the "Before
Take-Off"
and
"Before Landing"
phases of aircraft
operation is
provided
on a plastic card
and
normally
stowed in the map
compartment. This abbreviated check list
is
a convenient reference of
key
items to be rechecked
immediately
prior to taxiing into
position
for
take-off
and before
entering
the final approach for landing.
The
flight
and
operational characteristics of your
aircraft are
normal
in
all
respects. There
are
no
"unconventional" characteristics
or
opera-
tions 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
airspeed
may
be obtained from the
Airspeed
Correction Table in Section
VI.

ENTERING
