INTRODUCTION
This POH/AFM contains 9 sections, and includes the material required
to be furnished to the pilot by Federal Aviation Regulations and
additional information provided by Cessna Aircraft Company. This
handbook constitutes the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual.
WARNING
•This POH/AFM is not intended to be a guide for
basic flight instruction or a training manual and
should not be used as one. It is not a substitute
for adequate and competent flight instruction,
pilot skill, and pilot knowledge of current
Airworthiness Directives, applicable federal
aviation regulations and/or advisory circulars.
•Assuring the airworthiness of the airplane is the
responsibility of the airplane owner or operator.
Determining if the airplane is safe for flight is the
responsibility of the pilot in command. The pilot
is also responsible for adhering to the operating
limitations set forth by instrument markings,
placards, and this POH/AFM.
Generally, information in this POH/AFM is applicable to both the cargo
version and the passenger version of the Model 208B. Some
equipment differences exist between these versions. Specific versions
are identified through use of the terms “Cargo Version” and “Passenger
Version”. When one of these terms appears in text or on an illustration,
the information applies only to that group of airplanes. If no term
appears, the information applies to all airplanes.
Section 1 provides basic data and information of general interest. It
also contains definitions or explanations of symbols, abbreviations, and
terminology commonly used.

One of the following additives is required for anti-icing protection:
Ethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether
CAUTION
JP-4 and JP-5 fuel per MIL-T-5624 and JP-8 fuel per
MIL-T-83133A contain the correct premixed quantity of
an approved type of anti-icing fuel additive and no
additional anti-ice compounds should be added.
If additional anti-static protection is desired, the following additive is
approved for use:
Dupont Stadis 450
If additional biocidal protection is desired, the following additives are
permitted for use in certain conditions:

Oil Quantity Operating Range:
Fill to within 1 1/2 quarts of MAX HOT or MAX COLD (as
appropriate) on dipstick. Quart marking indicate U.S. quarts low if oil
is hot. For example, a dipstick reading of 3 indicates the system is
within 2 quarts of MAX if the oil is cold and within 3 quarts of MAX if
the oil is hot.
