In The Beginning

• We have different models of C172:

C172-M (N210AN, N73454)

C172-N (N737TX)

C172-N with P-model engine (N213AN, N23AT, N739HE, N9568G)

C172-P (N212AN)

• C172-N with P-model engine is still N-model. Since it has modied according to STC, the P.O.H. has

supplemental Aircraft Flight Manual. Maximum weight, performance speed and operational procedure may

be different from original N-model.

• Check how many hours remains for next 100h inspection and check squawk before take airplane.

• Perform pre-ight inspection using check list. Report to the front desk if you need fuel, oil or found some-

thing need to be checked by mechanic.

• If the hobbs meter doesn’t much with the one in the tach sheet, report to front desk or instructor before start

the engine.

• Pull out the airplane with tow bar before start the engine. Use tow bar by one hand and pull the airplane by

other hand. After pull out, make sure tow bar is stored in the baggage compartment.

• Do not grab the dash board or post to adjust the seat position. Grab the bottom of instrument panel or win-

dow frame.

• Grab the window frame to close the door. Do not use the black strap to close the door.

• Use both hand to open the door. Sometimes the wind blow out the door.

• Do not put anything on the dash board. It will make scratch on the window shield and affect magnetic com-

pass deviation.

• After secure the seat belt and shoulder harness, put the remaining belt in between the legs.

• The toes must be kept at the bottom of the rudder pedal unless it is necessary to use the brake. Try to mini-

mize the use of the brake during taxi.
