SECTION 1. GENERAL
This supplemental manual, applicable to those Cessna Model 206 Series
airplanes equipped with Aerocet Model 3400 Amphibious Seaplane Floats,
provides information and limitations not included in the basic FAA
approved markings and placards, and/or Airplane Flight Manual. Whenever
the words "Not Applicable" (NA) appear in this supplemental manual, they
are used to indicate that the related information may not be the same as that
shown in the Cessna markings and placards, and/or Flight Manual and are
not required by the airplane certification basis and, therefore, should not be
referenced. The aircraft is to be operated under the "NORMAL

SECTION 3. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
Emergency procedures in the FAA approved airplane placards and/or Flight
Manual generally apply except for airspeeds which may be different.
Emergency landings on water should be done with water rudders up,
aircraft slightly tail low on touchdown, and control wheel held full aft as the
floatplane decelerates on the water. Emergency landings on land should be
done with water rudders up, aircraft in a level attitude on touchdown, and
the control wheel full aft after contact. If damage occurs to the floats
causing compartments to flood, aggressively shift the weight (people &
baggage) in the opposite direction of damage in order to balance the aircraft
over the buoyant compartments.

AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES
MECHANICAL FAILURE
If it is ascertained that a mechanical failure has occurred and the gear will
not achieve either a gear up or a gear down position with visual
confirmation, the best course of action will be dependent upon the nature of
the failure and the choices of landing surfaces available. In the unlikely
event that a landing gear has failed in an intermediate position, and cannot
be moved to either a Gear Up or Gear Down position, the amphibian should
be landed on land only.
- WARNING -
DO NOT land in the water with the wheels either partially or fully
extended. If the landing MUST be accomplished on water and the gear is
partially or fully extended, it is suggested that a power-on full stall landing
with full flaps (30°) would be the best procedure. Unlatch cabin doors prior
to touchdown except for the rear cargo door on the co-pilots side. Flaps
must be deployed prior to unlatching the rear cargo door otherwise the flaps
will not move with the door unlatched. During deceleration after
touchdown, with the gear extended, the float bows will submerge and
there is a high probability of flipping the amphibian onto its back
causing either fatal or serious injury.

SECTION 4. NORMAL PROCEDURES: (NOTE: THESE ITEMS
SUPPLEMENT THE CESSNA NORMAL PROCEDURES - BE SURE TO
FOLLOW THE CESSNA PROCEDURES EXCEPT AS NOTED BELOW)
BEFORE ENTERING FLOATPLANE
1. Inspect the floats and attachment for dents, cracks, punctures, etc.
2. Remove rubber plugs (which serve as stoppers on the standpipe in each
float compartment) and pump out any accumulation of water. Reinstall
rubber stoppers with enough pressure for a snug fit. (If there is an
excess of water, investigate the leakage - if there is red hydraulic fluid
in any water, investigate fittings and lines in that bay before
proceeding).
3. Landing Gear -- INSPECT. Check the main wheel oleo struts for
proper inflation; check the tires for cuts, bruises and proper inflation.
NOTE
Refer to placards on the main wheel oleo struts for
strut inflation procedures. Proper tire inflation for
6.00-6 main wheel tires is 55 psi; tire inflation for
the 10-3.50 nose wheel tires is 70 psi.
4. Inspect locker door latches – DETENTS ENGAGED, LATCHES
TURNED CLOCKWISE TO STOPS.
NOTE:
An un-latched locker bay door will cause a howl and may
bang against the float struts during flight. Aircraft should
be returned to field in normal fashion to avoid potential
damage, and to assess any possible problems. However,
as with any situation, “FLY THE AIRCRAFT!” rather
than make a rash decision. It is likely that little or no
damage will occur to locker door.
WARNING:
It is up to the pilot to determine whether the floats have taken on
water, which could adversely affect CG. Pump both floats before
every flight.

TAKEOFF ON WATER
1. Landing Gear – UP
2. Landing Gear Blue Indicator Lights – CHECK ILLUMINATED
3. Water Rudders – UP (retraction handle aft)
4. Wing Flaps – 20 DEGREES" (second notch)
5. Control Wheel – HOLD FAR AFT INITIALLY

9. Control Wheel – APPLY LIGHT BACK PRESSURE TO LIFT OFF
10. Wing Flaps – UP AFTER OBSTACLES ARE CLEARED
Never attempt a takeoff without all blue indicator lamps illuminated –
any gear hanging down will drag the aircraft dangerously into an arc,
compromising takeoff distances, and endangering the occupants.
WARNING:
It is up to the pilot to determine whether the floats have taken on
water, which could adversely affect CG. Pump both floats before
every flight.

NOTES:
1. Obstacle takeoff technique as described in Section 4.
2. If brakes are not held, distances are from point where takeoff power is reached.
3. Decrease distances 10% for each 15 knots headwind. For operation
in tailwinds up to 10 knots, increase distances by 10% for each 3 knots.
4. For operation on dry, grass, hard runway, increase distances by 15% of
the "ground roll" figure.
5. For operation in air colder than this table provides, use the coldest (leftmost)
data for takeoff distances.
6. For operation in air warmer than this table provides, use extreme caution.
7. In grey shaded areas total takeoff distances over a 50 foot obstacle are predicted to
exceed 1 mile. Use caution!
