This airplane is certificated in both the normal and utility category. The normal category is applicable to aircraft intended for non-aerobatic operations. These include any maneuvers incidental to normal
flying, stalls (except whip stalls), lazy eights, chandelles, and turns in
which the angle of bank is not more than 60. Aerobatic maneuvers ,
including spins, are not approved.
UTILITY CATEGORY
This airplane is not designed for purely aerobatic flight. Howev er,
in the acquisition of various certificates such as commercial pilot, instrument pilot and flight instructor, certain maneuvers are required by
the FAA. All of these maneuvers are permitted in this airplane when
operated in the utility category.

ICING
INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER
(1) Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed).
(2) Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air temperature that is less conducive to icing.
(3) Pull cabin heat control full out to obtain maximum windshield
defroster airflow.
(4) Increase engine speed to minimize ice build-up on propeller
blades.
(5) Watch for signs of induction air filter ice and regain manifold
pressure by increasing the throttle setting.
(6) Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapid
ice build-up, select a suitable "off airport" landing site.
(7) With an ice accumulation of 1/ 4 inch or more on the wing leading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed.
(8) Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build-up on the
horizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow direction caused
by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevator effectiveness.
(9) Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from a portion of
the windshield for visibility in the landing approach .

ENGINE FAILURE
STATIC SOURCE BLOCKAGE

(Erroneous Instrument Reading Suspected)
If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff run, the most important thing to do is stop the airplane on the remaining runway. Those
extra items on the checklist will provide added safety during a failure
of this type.
(1) A~ternate Static Source Valve -- PULL ON
~~~ ~irs~eed -- Consult appropriate calibratio~ table in Section 5 or
im ~n approac~ 3 knots faster than normal.

(3) Altitude -- Crmse and approach 25 feet higher than normal.
'
LANDING WITH A FLAT MAIN TIRE

(1) Approach -- NORMAL.
(2) Wing Flaps -- FULL DOWN.
(3) Touchdown -- GOOD TIRE FIRST, hold airplane off flat tire as
long as possible with aileron control.
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS
._
Prompt lowering of the nose to maintain airspeed and establish a

glide attitude is the first response to an engine failure after takeoff. In
most cases, the landing should be planned straight ahead with only
small changes in direction to avoid obstructions. Altitude and airspeed
are seldom sufficient to execute a 180 gliding turn necessary to return
to the runway. The checklist procedures assume that adequate time
exists to secure the fuel and ignition systems prior to touchdown.
After an engine failure in flight, the best glide speed as shown in
figure 3-1 should be established as quickly as possible. While gliding
toward a suitable landing area, an effort should be made to identify the
cause of the failure . If time permits, an engine restart should be attempted as shown in the checklist. If the engine cannot be restarted, a
forced landing without power must be completed.

Although engine fires are extremely rare in flight, the steps of the
a ppropriate checklist should be followed if one is encountered. After
completion of this procedure, execute a forced landing as soon as possible. Do not attempt to restart the engine.
The initial indication of an electrical fire is usually the odor of
burning insulation. The checklist for this problem should result in
elimination of the fire.
EMERGENCY OPERATION IN CLOUDS

(Vacuum System Failure)
In the event of a vacuum system failure during flight in marginal
weather, the directional indicator and attitude indicator will be disabled, and the pilot will have to rely on the turn coordinator or the turn
and bank indicator if he inadvertently flies into clouds. The following
instructions assume that only the electrically-powered turn coordinator
or the turn and bank indicator is operative, and that the pilot is not
completely proficient in instrument flying.

(2) When the sweep second hand indicates the nearest half-minute,
initiate a standard rate left turn, holding the turn coordinator symbolic airplane wing opposite the lower left index mark for 60 seconds. Then roll back to level flight by leveling the miniature airplane.
(3) Check accuracy of the turn by observing the compass heading
which should be the reciprocal of the original heading .
(4) If necessary, adjust heading primarily with skidding motions
rather than rolling motions so that the compass will read more
accurately.
(5) Maintain altitude and airspeed by cautious application of elevator control. Avoid overcontrolling by keeping the hands off the
control wheel as much as possible and steering only with rudder.

In the event of an engine-driven fuel pump failure during takeoff,

immediately hold the auxiliary fuel pump switch in the HIGH position
until the airplane is well clear of obstacles. Upon reaching a safe
altitude , and reducing power to cruise settings, placing the switch in
the LOW position will then provide sufficient fuel flow to maintain
engine operation while maneuvering for a landing.
If an engine-driven fuel pump failure occurs during cruising flight,
apply full rich mixture and hold the auxiliary fuel pump switch in the
HIGH position to re-establish fuel flow. Then the LOW position of the
fuel pump switch may be used to sustain level flight. If necessary,
additional fuel flow is obtainable by holding the pump switch in the
HIGH position. If either LOW or HIGH fuel pump switch positions
results in rough engine operation, lean the mixture as required for
smooth operation.
LOW OIL PRESSURE

If low oil pressure is accompanied by normal oil temperature, there
is a possibility the oil pressure gage or relief valve is malfunctioning.
A leak in the line to the gage is not necessarily cause for an immediate
precautionary landing because an orifice in this line will prevent a
sudden loss of oil from the engine sump. However, a landing at the
nearest airport would be advisable to inspect the source of trouble.
If a total loss of oil pressure is accompanied by a rise in oil temperature, there is good reason to suspect an engine failure is imminent.
Reduce engine power immediately and select a suitable forced landing
field. Use only the minimum power required to reach the desired
touchdown spot.
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS

Malfunctions in the electrical power supply system can be detected
by periodic monitoring of the ammeter and over-voltage warning light;
however, the cause of these malfunctions is usually difficult to determine. A broken alternator drive belt or wiring is most likely the cause
of a lterna tor failures, although other factors could cause the problem.
3-14
3-15
SECTION 3
CESSNA
MODEL R172K
A damaged or improperly adjusted voltage regulator can also cause

malfunctions. Problems of this nature constitute an electrical emergency and should be dealt with immediately. Electrical power malfunctions usually fall into two categories: excessive rate of charge
and insufficient rate of charge. The following paragraphs describe the
recommended remedy for each situation.
EXCESSIVE RATE OF CHARGE

After engine starting and heavy electrical usage at low engine
speeds (such as extended taxiing) the battery condition will be low
enough to accept above normal charging during the initial part of a
flight. However, after thirty minutes of cruising flight, the ammeter
should be indicating less than two needle widths of charging current.
If the charging rate were to remain above this value on a long flight,
the battery would overheat and evaporate the electrolyte at an excessive rate. Electronic components in the electrical system could be adversely affected by higher than normal voltage if a faulty voltage regulator setting is causing the overcharging. To preclude these possibilities, an over-voltage sensor will automatically shut down the alternator
and the over-voltage warning light will illuminate if the charge voltage
reaches approximately 16 volts. Assuming that the malfunction was
only momentary, an attempt should be made to reactivate the alternator
system. To do this, turn both sides of the master switch off and then on
again. If the problem no longer exists, normal alternator charging will
resume and the warning light will go off. If the light comes on again, a
malfunction is confirmed. In this event, the flight should be terminated
and/ or the current drain on the battery minimized because the battery
can supply the electrical system for only a limited period of time. If
the emergency occurs at night, power must be conserved for later use
of landing lights and flaps during landing.
INSUFFICIENT RATE OF CHARGE

If the ammeter indicates a continuous discharge rate in flight, the
alternator is not supplying power to the system and should be shut
down since the alternator field circuit may be placing an unnecessary
load on the system. All nonessential equipment should be turned off
and the flight terminated as soon as practical.
