you will find flying it, either for business or pleasure, a pleasant andprofitable experience.
This Pilot's Operating Handbook has been prepared as a guide to help you getthe most
pleasure and utility from your airplane. It contains information about your Cessna's
equipment, operating procedures, and performance; and suggestions for its servicing and
care. We urge you to read it from cover to cover, and to refer to it frequently.
Our interest in your flying pleasure has not ceased with your purchase of a Cessna.
World-wide, the Cessna Dealer Organization backed by the Cessna Customer Services
Department stands ready to serve you. The following services are offered by most Cessna
Dealers: .•
• THE CESSNA WARRANTY, which provides coverage for parts and labor', is available at
Cessna Dealers worldwide. Specific benefits and provisions of warranty, plus other
important benefits for you, are contained in your Customer Care Program book,
supplied with your airplane. Warranty service is available to you at authorized Cessna
Dealers throughout the world upon presentation of your Customer Care Card which
establishes your eligibility under the warranty.
• FACTORY TRAINED PERSONNEL to provide you with courteous expert service.
• FACTORY APPROVED SERVICE EQUIPMENT to provide you efficient and accurate
workmanship.
• A STOCK OF GENUINE CESSNA SERVICE PARTS on hand when you need them.
• THE LATEST AUTHORITATIVE INFORMATION FOR SERVICING CESSNA AIR-
PLANES, since Cessna Dealers have all of the Service Manuals and Parts Catalogs, kept
current by Service Letters and Service News Letters, published by Cessna Aircraft
Company.
We urge all Cessna owners to use the Cessna Dealer Organization to the fullest.
A current Cessna Dealer Directory accompanies your new airplane. The Directory is'
revised frequently, and a current copy can be obtained from your Cessna Dealer. Make your
Directory one of your cross-country flight' planning aids; a warm welcome awaits you at'
every Cessna Dealer.

SYMBOLS, ABBREVIATIONS AND
TERMINOLOGY
GENERAL AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS
KCAS Knots Calibrated Airspeed is indicated airspeed corrected
for position and instrument error and expressed in knots.
Knots calibrated airspeed is equal to KTAS in standard
atmosphere at sea level.
KIAS Knots Indicated Airspeed is the speed shown on the
airspeed indicator and expressed in knots.
KTAS Knots True Airspeed is the airspeed expressed in knots
relative to undisturbed air which is KCAS corrected for
altitude and temperature.
Manuevering Speed is the maximum speed at which you
may use abrupt control travel.
Maximum Flap Extended Speed is the highest speed
permissible with wing flaps in a prescribed extended
position.
Maximum Landing Gear Extended Speed is the maximum
speed at which an airplane can be safely flown with the
landing gear extended.
Maximum Landing Gear Operating Speed is the maximum
speed at which the landing gear can be safely extended or
retracted.
Maximum Structural Cruising Speed is the speed that
should not be exceeded except in smooth air, then only wi th
caution.
V
NE Never Exceed Speed is the speed limit that may not be
exceeded at any time.

Outside Air Temperature is the free air static temperature.
It is expressed in either degrees Celsius or degrees Fah-

Standard Temperature is 15°Cat sea level pressure alti-

Pressure Altitude is the altitude read from an altimeter
when the altimeter's barometric scale has been set to 29.92
inches of mercury (1013 mb).

Brake Horsepower is the power developed by the engine.

Demonstrated Crosswind Velocity is the velocity of the
crosswind component for which adequate control of the
airplane during takeoff and landing was actually demon-
strated during certification tests. The value shown is not
considered to be limiting.
Usable Fuel is the fuel available for flight planning.
Unusable Fuel is the quantity offuel that can not be safely
used in flight.

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 ofthe weight of an item multiplied
by its arm. (Moment divided by the constant 1000is 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 obtamed by adding the
airplane's individual moments and dividing the sum by
the total weight.
Center of Gravity Limits are the extreme center ofgravity
locations within which the airplane must be operated at a
given weight.
Standard 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.

INTRODUCTION
Section 2 includes operating limitations, instrument markings, and
basic placards necessary for the safe operation ofthe airplane, its engine,
standard systems and standard equipment. The limitations included in
this section and in Section 9have been approved by the Federal Aviation
Administration. Observance of these operating limitations is required by
Federal Aviation Regulations.
NOTE
Refer to Section 9 of this Pilot's Operating Handbook for
amended operating limitations, operating procedures,
performance data and other necessary information for
airplanes equipped with specific options.
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 ofthe 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.
