CROSS REFERENCE LISTING OF POPULAR
NAME VS. MODEL NUMBERS AND SERIALS
All aircraft, regardless of manufacturer, are certificated under model number designations. However,
popular names are often used for marketing purposes. To provide a consistent method of referring to the
various aircraft, model numbers will be used in this publication unless names are required to differentiate
between versions of the same basic model. The following table provides a cross reference listing of popular
name vs. model numbers.

FOREWORD
This manual contains factory-recommended procedures and in-
structions for ground handling, servicing, and maintaining Cessna
Model 150-Series aircraft. This includes the Models 150, Reims
150, Reims/Cessna F150, 150 Aerobat, and Reims/Cessna F150
Aerobat. The Reims versions of the Model 150 is identical to the
Model 150 except that it is powered by a 0- 200-A Rolls Royce en-
gine. Besides serving as a reference for the experienced mechanic,
this book also covers step- by- step procedures for the less experi-
enced man. This manual should be kept in a handy place for ready
reference. If properly used, it will better enable the mechanic to
maintain Cessna 150-Series aircraft and thereby establish a repu-
tation for reliable service.
The information in this manual is based on data available at the
time of publication, and is supplemented and kept current by service
letters and service news letters published by Cessna Aircraft Com-
pany. These are sent to all Cessna Dealers so that they have the
latest authoritative recommendations for servicing Cessna aircraft.
Therefore, it is recommended that Cessna owners utilize the know-
ledge and experience of the factory-trained Dealer Service Organi-
zation.
In addition to the information in this Service Manual, a group
of vendor publications is available from the Cessna Service Parts
Center, which describe complete disassembly, overhaUl, and parts
breakdown of some of the various vendor equipment items. A list-
ing of the available publications is issued periodically in service
letters.
Information for Nav-O-Matic Autopilots, Electronic Communi-
cations, and Navigation Equipment are not included in this manual.
These manuals are available from the Cessna Service Parts Center.
