Cessna 210B - Care of the Airplane

Operating Limitations
weight on the scale on the left hand side of the graph and, from
this paint, follow a line horizontally to the right. Locate the total
moment/lOOO on the scale running across the bottom of the graph
and, from this paint, follow a line vertically up until you intersect
the line running horizontally from your total weight. If the point
where the two lines intersect is within the envelope, your airplane
is loaded within approved limits. If the point of intersection falls
outside the envelope, your load must be adjusted before flight.

Eare af the air
If your airplane is to retain that new-plane performance and dependa-
bility , certain inspection and maintenance requirements must be followed.
It is wise to follow a planned schedule of lubrication and preventati ve main-
tenance based on climatic and flying conditions encountered in your locality .
Keep
in touch with your Cessna Dealer, and take advantage of I his know-
ledge and experience. He knows your airplane and how to maintain it. He
will remind you when lubrications and oil changes are necessary, and about
other seasonal and periodic services.
GROUND H AN DLING.
The airplane is most easHy and
safely maneuvered during ground
handling by a tow-bar attached to the
nosewheel. Always use a tow-bar
when one is available .
NOTE
When using tow-tar , do not exceed
nosewheel turning radius of 30
0
either side of center.
When moving the airplane by hand
and no tow-bar is available, push
down at the front spar of the stabi-
lizer beside the fuselage to raise the
nosewheel off the ground. With the
nosewheel clear of the ground the
airplane can be turned readily in any
direction by pivoting it around the
main gear. Do not push down on the
empelUlage by the tip of the elevator;
nor shove sidewise on the upper por-
tion of the fin. When moving the air-
plane forward, push at the wing strut
root fitting or at the main gear strut.
MOORING YOUR AI R PLA N E.
Proper tie-down procedure is your
best precaution against damage to
your parked airplane by gusty or
strong winds. To tie-down your air-
plane securely, proceed as follows:
(1)
Tie suffiCiently strong ropes or
chains (700 pounds tensile strength)
to the wing tie-down fittings at the
upper end of each wing strut. Se-
cure the opposite ends of these
ropes or chains to tie-down rings.
(2) Tie a rope through the nose
gear torque link and secure the
opposite end to a tie-down ring.
(3) Securely tie the middle of a
length of rope to the ring at the
tail. Pull each end of the rope
away at a angle and secure 45
0
it to tie-down rings positioned on
each side of the tail.
(4) Install a surface control lock
over the fin and rudder. Do not
use external lOCks between the
