** CESSNA 172 P SHORT NOTES FOR REFERENCE **

1).Oil pressure should register in cold weather in 60 seconds. 2) In the event of alternate static door open ASI will give an error of 4kts & altimeter error will be +/-30 feet in closed window condition. 3) Propeller ground clearance is 11.25 or 11 . 4) Minimum turning radius of a/c is 27' 5.5'' 5) Abrupt use of controls is prohibited beyond a speed of 99kts. 6) Yellow arc of ASI is from 129 to 163 kts. 7) Minimum oil pressure of a/c is 20 psi. 8) Annunciator does not activate on low fuel flow. 9) Alternator should be switched off in the event of voltmeter reading of 31.5V. 10) Compass up to 25deg may come in the event of alternator switched off. 11) To get maximum cabin heating =Heat knob should be fully out & cabin air fully in. 12) DGI has to be aligned regularly on long flight for precession. 13) Audible stall warning will be heard 5 to 10 kts above stalling speed. 14) Attitude indicator bank marking is at an increment of 10 deg. Till 30 deg. And 15 deg. Till 60 deg. of bank angle which is maximum.

15) Avionics cooling fan switches on automatically when avionics master switch is on. 16) Maximum window open speed is 163 kts. 17) Maximum oil pressure is 115 psi. 18) Unusable fuel quantity is 1.5 gallons in each tank. 19) Maximum ramp weight is 2457 lbs. 20) Maximum slip duration with one fuel tank dry is 30 sec. 21) Color of 100LL fuel is Blue. 22) Minimum oil quantity for extended flight is none. 23) Concentration of DIEGME 0.1.0per to 0.15 per to be added to fuel quantity. 24) MIL-L-22851 oil is to be used after 50 hours of engine running or when composition is stabilized. 25) Maximum deflection of nose wheel by the use of rudder on ground is 10 to either side of centre, which can be increased to 30 either side of centre with the application of brakes in the direction. 26) Mechanical stops on flaps are at 10 20 30. 27) Shock absorption is accomplished by Air/Oil strut on nose wheel & tubular spring steel on main wheel 28) Best rate of climb speed at sea level is 79 kts. 29) Standard temperature lapse rate is 2C /1000 feet. 30 ) Starter cycle for the engine is 10 sec on 20 sec off for three times and then 10min gap for cooling is to given .

31) Enroute climb speed is 5 to 10 kts above best rate of climb speed for best visibility. 32) Until 50 hours has been accumulated engine should run at 80% power on cruising. 33) Open alternate door will result in an approximately 10% loss of power at full throttle. 34) Carburetor icing is indicated by loss of RPM in fixed pitch propeller and loss of manifold pressure in Constant speed propeller 35) OAT / voltmeter gauge select switch may be tested by putting the select button down for 3 sec to start. 36) If the PTT of microphone is pressed for more than 33sec in continuation then the transmitter will Stop transmitting. 37) In the event of static blockage ASI reads error. 38) To permit heavy cabin loading fuel load can be reduced to 17.5 gallons usable in each tank. 39) In a voltmeter/OAT /clock, pushing upper control button will change the display on OAT /Voltmeter Window to E.F.C.E. 40) Stall warning placement Left leading edge. 41) Ignition placement R, L, BOTH. 42) At the time of startup if black smoke comes Spark plugs fowling. 43) In cold weather start the engine by manually prime.

44) If pitot & static source is blocked all instrument VSI, ASI & altimeter give error. 45) Heading select bug is on lower left side and gyro precession correction bug on right side.
