CESSNA MODEL I72Iv.[ C. SECTION 8 HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE To be made available upon request: (1) Airplane Log Book. (2) Engine Log Book. IUR Most of the items listed are required by the United States Federal Aviation Regulations. Since the Regulations of other nations may require rther documents and data. owners of airplanes not registered in the United States should check with their own aviation officials to determine their individual requlrements. Cessna recommends that tlese items, plus the Pilotrs Operating Handbook, Power Computer, Customer Care Program book and Customer Care Card, be carried in the airplane at all times. 1 AIR,PLANE INSPECTION PERIODS tAA REOUIRED INSPEcTIONS :o As required by Federal Aviation Regulations, aII civil aircraft of -. S. registry must undergo a complete inspection (annuat) each twelve :alendar months. In addition to the required ANNUAL inspection, air:raft operated commercialiy (for hire) must have a complete inspection :','ery 100 hours of operation. t The FAA may require other inspections by the issuance of airworthi:ess directives applicable to the airplane, engine, propeller and compo:ents. It is the responsibility of the owner,/operator to ensure compliance ;:th aII applicable airworthiness directives and, when the inspections are :epetitive, to tal<e appropriate steps to prevent inadvertent noncompliance. In lieu of the 100 HOUR and ANNUAL inspection requirements, an .:.:rplane may be inspected in accordance with a progressive inspection ;:hedule, which allows the work load to be divided into smaller operations '*:at can be accomplished in shorter time periods. The CESSNA PROGRESSIVE CARE PROGRAM has been developed to ::ovide a modern progressive inspection schedule that satisfies the com:-ete airplane inspection requirements of both the 100 HOUR and ANNUAL -.spections as applicable to Cessna airplanes. The program assists the 'å-ner in his responsibility to comply with all FAA inspection requirements, r.lile ensuring timely replacement of life-Iimited parts and adherence to i ctory- r e commended inspe ction i ntervals and maintenanc e procedures. 8-5 SECTION CESSNA 8 MODEL 1?2M HANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE CESSNA PROGR,ESSIVE CARE you The Cessna Frogressive Care Frogram has been designed to help downand cost minimum a at your aiiplane realize maximum utilization of in time. under this prograrn, your airplane is i_nspected and.maintained The operperiod' 200-hour a åuring four operations at-SO-trour intervals pro- ations are recycled each 200 hours and are recorded in a specially vided Aircraft Inspection Log as each operation is conducted. for airThe cessna Ærcraft company recommends Progressive.care 100-hour the and year, per more or hours 200 flown planes that are ULi"S inspection for aII otf,er airplanes.

Refer to FAR Part 43 for a list of the specific maintenance rperations which are allowed. NOTE rr ]t :y- - Pilots operating airplanes of other than U.S. registry should refer to the regulations of the country of certification for information on preventive maintenance that may be performed by pilots. A Service Manual should be obtained prior to performing any preven:ive maintenance to ensure that proper procedures are followed. Your Cessna Dealer should i-r= :ontacted for further information or for required :raintenance which mus: be accomplished by appropriately licensed personnel. d ed ATTERATIONS OR REPAIRS It is essential that the FA.A be contacted prior to any alterations on åe airplane to ensure that airworthiness of the airplane is not violated. -\iterations or repairs t: the airplane must be accomplished by licensed rer . .rersonnel. GROUND HANDLING TOWING c| ' : le ilT hrr .'å The airplane is most easily and safely maneuvered by hand with the :rw-bar attached to the nose rvheel. When towing with a vehicle, do not :xceed the nose gear turning angle of 30o either side of center, or damage: :r the gear will result. If the airplane is towed or pushed over a rough =urface during hangaring, watch that the normal cushioning action of the :rse strut does not cause excessive vertical movement of the tait and the :esulting contact with low hangar doors or structure. A flat nose tire or :eflated strut will also increase tail height. PAR KrNG When parking the airplane, head into the wind and set the parking rakes. Do not set the parking brakes during cold weather when accumu:ted moisture may freeze the brakes, or when the brakes are overheatedl. 8-? CESSNA SECTION 8 MODEL I72M. HANDLING, SER1TCE & IVIAINTENANCE Install the control wheel lock and chock the wheels. In severe weather and high wind conditions, tie the airptane down as outlined in the following paragraph. TIE.DOWN proper tie-down procedtrre is the best precaution against damage to the parkåd airplane by gusty or strong winds. To tie-down the airplane securely, proceed as follows: (1) Set the parking brake and install the control wheel lock. (2) Install i surface control lock over the fin and rudder. (gi Tie sufficiently strong ropes or chains (?00 pounds tensile strength) to the wingr tail, and nose tie-down fittings and secure each rope to a ramp tie-down. (4) Install a pitot tube cover. JACKING When a requirement exists to jack the entire airplane off the ground, or when wing jack points are used in the jacking operation, refer to the Service Manual fof specific procedures and equipment required. Individual main gear may be jacked by using the jack pad which is incorporated in the main landing gear strut step bracket. when using ttre individual gear strut jack pad, flexibility of the gear strut will cause the main wheel to slide inboard as the wheel is raised, tilting the jack. The jack must then be lowered for a second jacking operationt D-o not jack both main wheels simultaneously using the individual main gear jack pads. If nose gear maintenance is required, the nose wheel may be raised off the gfo.tria by pressing down on a tailcone bulkhead, just_forward of the horizonlal stabiiizer, and allowing the tail to rest on the tail tie-down ring NOTE Do not apply pressure on the elevator or outboard stabilizer suifaces. When pushing on the tailcone, always appty pressure at a br,rlkhead to avoid buckling the skin. To assist in raising and holding the nose wheel off the ground, weight down the tail by placing sand-bags, or suitable weights, on each side of the horizontal ståbilizer, next to the fuselage. If ground anchors are 8-8 SECTION CESSNA 3.vailable, the 8 HANDLING, SERVICE MODEL L72I|/'I & MAINTEI.IANCE tail should be securely tied down. NOTE will be held off the ground under all conditions by means of suitable stands or supports under weight supporting bulkheads near the nose of the airplane. Ensure that the nose tEVEtIN'G Longifudinal leveling of the airplane is accomplished by placing a -evel on leveling screws located on the left side of the tailcone. Deflate :he nose tire and/or lower or raise the nose strut to properly center the :ubble in the level. Corresponding points on both upper door sills may be .:sed to level the airplane laterally. FLYABTE SIORAG l, E Airplanes placed in ncn-operational storage for a maximum of 30 days operational use for the first 25 :l;able storage status. Every seventh day durirg i:ese periods, the propeller should be rotated by hand through five revolu::lns. This action "Iintbers" the oil and prevents any accumulation of cor- r thosd which receive rnl',' intermittent -..lurs are considered in : tsion on engine cyiinder walls. WARNING :k rd the ring, For maximum safety, check that the ignition switch is OFF, the throttle is closed, the mixture control is in the idle cut-off position, and the airplane is secured before rotating the propeller by hand. Do not stand within the arc of the propeller blades while turning the propeller. After 30 days, the airplane should be flown for 30 minutes or a ground :jnup should be made just long enough to produce an oil temperature with.:. thå lower green arc range. Excessive ground runup should be avoided. rght lf Engine runup also helps to eliminate excessive accumulations of water ..-. the fuet system and other air spaces in the engine. Keep fueI tanks fuIl . minimize condensation in the tanks. Keep the battery fully charged to ::event the electrolyte from freezing in cold weather. If the airplane is be stored temporarily, or indefinitely, refer to the Service Manual for : :?per storage procedures. B-9 SECTION CESSNA 8 MODEL IIANDLING, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE T?ZI|J'I: SER,VICING In addition to the PREFLIGHT INSPECTION covered in section 4, COMPLETE servicing, inspection, and test requirements for your airp ane are detailed in ihe Service Manual. The Service Manual outlines all items which require attention at 50, 100, and 200 hour intervals plus those items which require servicing, inspection, and/or testing at special intervals. Since Cessna Dealers conduct all service, inspection, and test procedures in accordance with applicable Service Manuals, it is recommended that you contact your Cessnå neater concerning these requirements and begin scheduling your airplane for service at the recommended intervals. Cessna progressive Care ensures that these requirements are accom- plished at the re"quirea intervals to comply with the 100-hour or ANNUAL inspection as previously covered. Depending on various flight operations, your local Government Avia- tion Agåncy may require additional service, inspections, or te-sts' For these i"gniato"y requirements, owners should check with local aviation officials where the airplane is being operated' For quick and ready reference, quantities, materials, and specifications for irequently used service items are as follows. ENGINE OIt GRADE Grade sAE 50 Above 16"C (60'F). Aviation Grade sAE 10W30 or sAE 30 Between -18'C (0'F) -- Aviation and 21"C (20"P). AviationiraAe SAE 10W30 or SAE 20 Below -12"C (10'I). Multi-vis.oÅily oit *ittt a range of SAE 10W30 is recommended for improved starling in cold weather. Ashless dispersant oil, conforming to specification No. MIL-L-22851, must be used. NOTE Your cessna was delivered from the factory with a corrosion preventive aircraft engine oil. If oil must be added during the first 25 hours, use only aviation grade straight mineral oil conforming to specification No. MILL-6082. CAPACITY OF ENGINE SUMP -- B Quarts.

If an oil fitter is installed, change filter element at this time. Refill sump *irh straight mineral oil and use until a total of 50 hours has accun:ul.aled or oil consumption has stabilized; then change to dispersant oil. On airplanes not equipped with an oil filter, drain the engine oil sump and oil cooler and clean both the oil suction strainer and the oil pressure screen each 50 hours thereafter. On airplanes which have an oii filter, the oil change interrral may be exten-ded to l60-trour rntervals, providing the oil filter element is changed at 50-hour interrals. Change engine oil at least every 6 months even though iess than the recommended hours have accumuIated. Reduce inier'.ais for prolonged operation in dusty areas, cold climates, or when short flights and long idle periods result in sludging conditions. FUEL ,RADE (AND COLORT -- 80/8?
