Cessna 172S Nav III User Manual

SECTION 8 CESSNA
HANDLING, SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE MODEL 172S NAV III
ALTERATIONS OR REPAIRS
It is essential that the FAA be contacted prior to any alterations on
the airplane to ensure that airworthiness of the airplane is not
violated. Alterations or repairs to the airplane must be accomplished
by licensed personnel, utilizing only FAA Approved components and
FAA Approved data, such as Cessna Service Bulletins.
GROUND HANDLING
TOWING
The airplane is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand with the
tow bar attached to the nose wheel (the tow bar
is stowed on the
side of the baggage area). When towing with a vehicle, do not
exceed the nose gear turning angle of
30° either side of center, or
damage to the nose landing gear will result.
CAUTION
REMOVE ANY INSTALLED RUDDER LOCK
BEFORE TOWING.
If the airplane is towed or pushed over a rough surface during
hangaring, watch that the normal cushioning action of the nose strut
does not cause excessive vertical movement of the tail
and the
resulting contact with low hangar doors or structure. A flat nose tire
or deflated strut will also increase tail height.
