optional speed fairings will notice a increase in 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 1320
pounds (598.7 kg), 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.
