SECTION 4 CESSNA
NORMAL PROCEDURES MODEL 172S NAV III
GFC 700 AFCS
U.S.
STALLS
The stall characteristics are conventional and aural warning is provided
by a stall warning horn which sounds between 5 and 10 knots above
the stall in all configurations.
Power off stall speeds at maximum weight for both forward and aft C.G.
positions are presented in Section 5.
SPINS
Intentional spins are approved when the airplane is operated in the
utility category. Spins with baggage loadings or occupied rear seat(s)
are not approved.
However, before attempting to perform spins several items should be
carefully considered to assure a safe flight. No spins should be
attempted without first having received dual instruction both in spin
entries and spin recoveries from a qualified instructor who is familiar
with the spin characteristics of the Cessna 172S NAV III airplane.
The cabin should be clean and all loose equipment (including the
microphone and rear seat belts) should be stowed or secured. For a
solo flight in which spins will be conducted, the front passenger's seat
belt and shoulder harness should also be secured. Care should be
taken to ensure that the pilot can easily reach the flight controls and
produce maximum control travels.
