atmosphere at sea level.
Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the
airspeed indicator and expressed in knots.
Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots
relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for
altitude and temperature.

Reference Datum is an imaginary vertical plane from
which all horizontal distances are measured for balance
purposes.
Station is a location along the airplane fuselage given in
terms of the distance from the reference datum.
Arm is the horizontal distance from the reference datum to
the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item.
Moment is the product of the weight of an item multiplied
by its arm. (Moment divided by the constant 1000 is used in
this handbook to simplify balance calculations by reduc-
ing the number of digits.)
Center of Gravity is the point at which an airplane, or
equipment, would balance if suspended. Its distance from
the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment
by the total weight of the airplane.
Center of Gravity Arm is the arm obtained by adding the
airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum by
the total weight.
Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center of gravity
locations within which the airplane must be operated at a
given weight.
Standar1 Empty Weight is the weight of a standard air-
plane, including unusable fuel, full operating fluids and
full engine oil.
Basic Empty Weight is the standard empty weight plus the
weight of optional equipment.
Useful Load is the difference between ramp weight and the
basic empty weight.

Gross (Loaded) Weight is the loaded weight of the airplane.
Maximum Takeoff Weight is the maximum weight
approved for the start of the takeoff run.
Maximum Landing Weight is the maximum weight
approved for the landing touchdown.
Tare is the weight of chocks, blocks, stands, etc. used when
weighing an airplane, and is included in the scale read-
ings. Tare is deducted from the scale reading to obtain the
actual (net) airplane weight.

SECTION 2
LIMITATIONS
Section 2 includes operating limitations, instrument markings, and
basic placards necessary for the safe operation of the airplane, its engine,
standard systems and standard equipment. The limitations included in
this section have been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
When applicable, limitations associated with optional systems or equip-
ment are included in Section 9.
NOTE
The airspeeds listed in the Airspeed Limitations chart
(figure 2-1) and the Airspeed Indicator Markings chart
(figure 2-2) are based on Airspeed Calibration data shown
in Section 5 with the normal static source. with the
exception of the bottom of the green and white arcs on the
airspeed indicator. These are based on a power-off air-
speed calibration. If the alternate static source is being
used. ample margins should be observed to allow for the
airspeed calibration variations between the normal and
alternate static sources as shown in Section 5.
Your Cessna is certificated under FAA Type Certificate No. 3A13 as
Cessna Model No. R182.
