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
airplane's
equipment,
systems,
and
controls.
This
can
best
be done
by
reviewing
this
equipment
while
sitting
in
the
airplane.
Those
items
whose
function
and
operation
are
not
obvious
are
covered
in Section
IL
Section
I
lists,
in
Pilot's
Check
List
form,
the
steps
necessary
to
operate
your
airplane
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
operational
characteristics
of
your
airplane are
normal
in
all
respects.
There
are
no
"unconventional'
characteristics
or
oper-
ations
that
need
to
be
mastered.
All
controls
respond
in
the
normal
way
within the
entiré
range
of
operation.
All
airspeeds
mentioned in Sections
I,
II,
and
IIT
are
indicated
airspeeds.
Corresponding
calibrated
airspeeds
may
be
obtained
from

Correction
Table in
Section
VI.
BEFORE
ENTERING
THE
