CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 162 NORMAL PROCEDURES
GARMIN G300
U.S.
STALLS
The stall characteristics are conventional for the flaps up and flaps
down conditions and aural warning is provided by a stall warning horn
which sounds between 5 and 10 knots above the stall in all
configurations. Power-on stall recovery should be initiated by
simultaneously lowering the nose while reducing power after which
normal power-off stall recovery techniques should be applied.
INTENTIONAL POWER-ON STALLS SHOULD BE
LIMITED TO 30 DEGREES NOSE UP PITCH ANGLE.
EXCEEDING 30 DEGREES REQUIRES HIGH POWER
AND ACCELERATED STALL ENTRY WHICH MAY
RESULT IN DISORIENTATION
INTENTIONAL SPINS ARE PROHIBITED. REFER TO
SECTION 6, EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, SPINS. IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THESE EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES BE MEMORIZED TO ENSURE PROMPT
AND PROPER RECOVERY TECHNIQUES ARE USED IN
THE EVENT AN INADVERTENT SPIN IS
ENCOUNTERED.
Refer to Section 5, Figure 5-2, for power-off stall speeds at 1320
pounds.
DESCENT
Normal descent from altitude may be made with flaps retracted or with
flaps extended to increase drag for a steepened descent angle.
Caution should be used to observe flap limit speeds. Slips may be
made in all flap configurations and are useful to increase descent rates
while allowing power to be kept above idle. Carburetor heat should be
used as needed for engine roughness and applied before reducing
power to prevent carburetor ice from forming during low power descent.
Since heated air causes a richer fuel mixture, readjust the mixture
setting when carburetor heat is to be used for extended descent. If a
low power descent is made, it is recommended that the throttle be
cycled occasionally to check for engine roughness at higher power.
Extended low power descents should be avoided during the
first 25 hours of operation of a new engine.
