Cessna 182 1973 - Cruise

of 89
MPH would be
most
efficient,
These
speeds
vary
slightly
with:
altitude,
but
they
are
close
enough
for
average
field
elevations.
Flap
deflections
greater
than
20°
are
not recommended
at
any
time
for take-
off.
Take-offs
into
strong
crosswinds
normally
are
performed
with the
minimum
flap
setting
necessary
for
the
field
length,
to minimize
the
drift
angle
immediately
after
take-off.
The
airplane
is accelerated
to
a
speed
slightly higher
than
normal,
then
pulled
off
abruptly
to
prevent
possible
settling
back to
the
runway
while
drifting.
When
clear
of
the
ground,
make
a
coordinated
turn
into
the
wind
to
correct for
drift.
ENROUTE
CLIMB.
A
cruising
climb
at
23
inches
of
manifold
pressure,
2450
RPM
(ap-
proximately
75%
power)
and
100
to
120
MPH
is
recommended to
save
time
and
fuel
for
the
overall
trip.
In
addition,
this
type
of
climb
provides
bet-
ter
engine
cooling,
less
engine
wear,
and
more
passenger
comfort
due
to
lower noise
level.
:
If
it
is
necessary
to
climb
rapidly
to
clear
mountains
or
reach favor-
able
winds
at
high
altitudes,
the
best
rate-of-climb
speed
should
be
used
with
maximum power,
This
speed
is
89
MPH
at
sea
level,
decreasing
2
MPH for each
5000
feet
above
sea
level.
If
an
obstruction
ahead
requires
a
steep
climb
angle,
the
airplane
should be flown
at
an
obstacle
clearance
speed
of
approximately
70
MPH
with
flaps
up
and
maximum
power,
CRUISE.
Normal
cruising
is
done
between
65%
and
75%
power.
The
power
settings required
to
obtain
these
powers
at various altitudes
and
outside
air
temperatures
can
be
determined
by
using
your
Cessna
Power Com-
puter
or
the
OPERATIONAL
DATA,
Section
VI.
The Maximum
Cruise
Speed
Performance
table
(figure
2-5)
shows
that
cruising
can
be
done
most
efficiently
at
higher
altitudes
because
very
nearly
the
same
cruising
speed can
be
maintained
at
much
less
power.
