CESSNA SECTION 6
MODEL 162 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
GARMIN G300
U.S.
EMERGENCY OPERATION IN CLOUDS
The Model 162 Skycatcher is not equipped or certified for IFR flight.
The following instructions assume that the pilot is not very proficient at
instrument flying and is flying the airplane without the autopilot
engaged.
EXECUTING A 180° TURN IN CLOUDS (ADAHRS FAILED)
Upon inadvertently entering the clouds, an immediate turn to reverse
course and return to VFR conditions should be made. With ADAHRS
FAILED, magnetometer (magnetic) heading information is not
available. The G300 map display should be configured with the
COMPASS ARC from the MAP SET-UP menu. The COMPASS ARC
will provide GPS derived heading information on the moving map
display. GPS derived heading information is not as accurate as
magnetic heading; it will provide a means of situational awareness and
the moving map can provide navigation. Other GPS information such
as track (TRK), etc. are also available with a functioning G300 system.
Refer to the G300 Pilot's Guide.
If the optional magnetic compass is installed, the magnetic compass
maybe used in place of the G300 compass arc. The magnetic compass
will be subject to normal magnetic compass A.N.D.S. variations during
maneuvering.
