NOTE
*Speed performance is shown for an airplane equipped with
speed fairings which increase the speeds by
approximately 2 knots. There is a corresponding difference
in range, while all other performance figures are
unchanged when speed fairings are installed.
The above performance figures are based on airplane weights at 2550
pounds, standard atmospheric conditions, level, hard-surfaced dry
runways and no wind. They are calculated values derived from flight
tests conducted by Cessna Aircraft Company under carefully
documented conditions and will vary with individual airplanes and
numerous factors affecting flight performance.
