FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel is supplied to the engine from two tanks, one in each wing.
From these tanks, fuel flows by gravity to a four-position selector valve
labeled "RIGHT", "BOTH", "LEFT" and "OFF" and through a fuel
strainer to the carburetor.
For additional information on Lubrication and Servicing, refer to the
maintenance guide of this aircraft.

Each fuel tank sump is equipped with a fuel quick-drain valve which
extends through the lower surface of the wing just outboard of the cabin
door. A sampler cup stored in the aircraft is used to examine the fuel
for the presence of water and sediment. A "STRAINER DRAIN KNOB"
is located inside the engine nose cap access door and is connected to
the strainer quick-drain valve. After the knob has been released, make
sure that strainer drain is closed.

the flashing light reflected from water droplets or particles in the
atmosphere, particularly at night, can produce vertigo and loss of
orientation. In addition, the two high intensity strobe lights should be
turned off when taxiing in the vicinity of other aircraft.

TAXIING
When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to
a minimum and that all controls be utilized (see taxiing diagram,
page 4-13) to maintain directional control and balance. Taxiing.over .
loose gravel or cinders should be done at low engine speed.
Move the ignition switch first to "R" position and note RPM, then move
switch back to" BOrn" position. Then move switch to "L It position, note
RPM and return to "BOTH". RPM drop should not exceed 125 RPM on either
magneto or show greater than 50 RPM differential between magnetos. If
there is a doubt concerning the operation of the ignition system, RPM
checks at higher engine speeds will usually confirm whether a defic ie ncy
eXists. An absence of RPM drop may be an indication of faulty gl'Ounding
of one side of the ignition system or should be cause for suspicion that the
magneto timing is set in advance of the setting specified.
r
Ai TERNATOR CHECK
"
Prior to flights where verification of proper alternator and voltage re gulator operation is essential (such as night or instrument flights), a positive
verification can be made by loading the electrical system momentarily
(2 to 5 seconds) with the optional landing light, (if so equipped), or by
operating the wing flaps during the engine runup.
--
The ammeter will remain at zero if the alternator and voltage rcgul:ltor
are operating properly.
TAKE-OFF
'"
POWER CHECKS
It is important to check full-throttle engine operation early in the t:lkeoff run. Any signs of rough engine operation or sluggish engine :.I.c c clcration is good cause for discontinuing the take-off. If this occurs, Y(> U :Ire
justified in making a thorough full-throttle, static runup befo r,~ lI"otiler
take-off is attempted. The engine should run smoothly and turn "1'I'wxJ mately 2300 to 2420 RPM with carburetor heat off and mixture filii rich.
r"
The carburetor heat control knob should be pushed full in during all
ground operations unless heat is absolutely necessary. When the knob is
pulled out to the heat position, air entering the engine is not filtered.
BEFORE TAKE-OFF
WARM-UP
"
NOTE
Carburetor heat should not be used during take-off
"
Most of the warm-up will have been conducted during taxi, and
additional warm-up before take-off should be restricted to the checks
outlined in this Section. Since the engine is closely cow led for efficient
inflight cooling, precautions should be taken to avoid overheating on
the ground.
f
[
MAGNE TO CHEC K
The magneto check should be made at 1700 RPM as follows
Full throttle runups over loose gravel are especially harmful to pl'Ol'rlkr
tips. When take-offs must be made over a gravel surface, it is v.... y
important that the throttle be advanced slowly.
...
.. /
'...
Prior to take-off from fields above 915m (3000 feet) elevation, the 11\ htll",
should be leanedto give maximum RPM in a full-throttle, static '\lilliI'.
The throttle being in the full open position, tighten the friction loci< 1"1"" Will
the throttle leverfrom movi\.g back. For the other flight configurl.lll oll~,
\
adjust the fr!ftion lock as required to maintain a constant throttle pOHIII(lI).
"

Fl ight Manual
REIMS/CESSNA FI72M
FLAP SETTINGS
Normal take-ofis are performed with flaps up. The use of 10" flaps will
shorten the ground run approximately 10 %, but this advantage is lost in
the climb to a 50.,.foot (15 m) obstacle. Therefore, the use of 100 flaps
is reserved for minimum ground runs or for take-off from soft or rough
fields. If 10" of flaps are used in ground runs, it is preferable to leave
them extended rather than retract them in the climb to the obstacle at
102 km/h - 5S kts - 63 MPH lAS. As soon as the obstacle is cleared, the
flaps may be retracted as the aircraft accelerates to the flaps-up maximum rate-of-climb indicated airspeed of 130 to 148 km/h - 70 to
80 kts - 81 to 92 MPH.
During a high altitude take-off in hot weather where climb would be
marginal with 10" flaps, it is recommended that the flaps not be used for
take-off. Flap settings greater than 10" are not recommended at any time
for take -off.
\I
[
NOTE
L
[
II
CRUISE
Norma! cruising is done between 55 % and 75 % power . The power
settings required to obtain these powers at various altitudes and outside
air temperatures can be determined by using your Cessna Power
Computer or the PERFORMANCE DATA, Section S .
\'
The higher the cruise altitude, the higher the true airspeed for the
same power.
This is illustrated in the following figure which shows performance at
7S % power at various altitudes.
II
CROSSWIND TAKE-OFFS.
Take-offs into strong crosswinds normally are performed with the
minimum flap setting necessary for the field length to minimize the
drift angle immediately after take -off. The aircraft is accelerated to a
speed slightly higher than normal, then pulled off abruptly to prevent
possible settling back to the runway while driftiDg. When clear of the
ground, make a coordinated tum into the wind to correct for drift.

r
STALLS
The stall characteristics are conventional for the flaps up and flaps down ,
condition. Slight buffeting may occur just before the stall with flaps ,
down.
With aircraft weights lower than the full gross weight, stall speeds are
reduced. The stall warning horn produces a steady signal 9 to 18 krn/h 5 to 10 kts - 6 to 12 MPH before the actual stall is reached and remains
on until the normal flight attitude is resumed.
['
LANDINGS
Normal landings are made with power-off and with flaps as required.
Steep slips with flap settings greater than 200 are prohibited in the
landing approach. Final approaches are perfCl'med at indicllJ:ed airspeeds of 113 to 129 km/h - 61 to 69 kts - 70 to 80 MPH with flaps up,
and 105 to 121 km/h - 56 to 65 kts - 65 to 75 MPH with flaps down,
. depending on the air turbulence.
CROSSWIND LANDING
When landing in a strong crosswind, use the minimum flap setting
required for the field length. Use a wing low) crab, or a combination
method of drift correction and land in a nearly level attitude, Maintain
directional control by using the nose wheel steering system and the
brakes.

NOTE
If the engine does not start, it is probable that the
spark plugs have been frosted over. Preheat must be
used before another start is attempted.
IMPORTANT
Pumping the throttle may cause raw fuel to accumulate in the intake air duct, creating a fire hazard in
the event of a backfire. If this occurs, maintain a
cranking action to suck flames into the engine. An
outside attendant with a fire extinguisher is advised
for cold starts without prehe at.

SPECIFIC OPERATION
,SPIN (Utility Category)
The spin is a prolonged stall that results in a rapid nose-down rotation,
the airplane following a helical path. The rotation is the result of a
sustained yaw that causes the slower moving wing to almost completely
stall while the outer wing retains a portion of its lift. In essence, the
rotation is a result of the relatively unstalled outer wing "chasing" the

NOTIFICATION

[
[
j[
The tables appearing on the following pages result from actual tests
with an airplane in good flying condition. They will be useful in flight
planning; nevertheless, it will be advisable to plan on an ample safety
margin concerning the fuel reserve at arrival, since the data given does
not take into account the effects of wind, navigational errors, pilot
technique, run-uP. climb, etc. All these factors should be considered
when estimating the reserve required by regulations. Don't forget that
maximum range increases by using a lower power setting. To solve
these problems, consult the Cruise Performance table.
,.,
In the Table 2, range and endurance are given for lean mixture from
1'1
2500 feet to 12,500 feet. All figures are based on zero wind, 144 lilres
of fuel for crUise, 1043 kg gross weight and standard atmospheric

After removing dirt and grease, the surface may be waxed with a good
grade of wax . . Apply a thin, even coat of wax and bring it to a high

PROPELLER CARE
Preflight inspection of propeller blades for nicks, and wiping them
occasionally with an oily cloth to clean off grass and bug stains will
assure long, trouble-free service. Small nicks on the blades, particularly
near the tips and on the leading edges, should be dressed out as soon as
possible since these nicks produce stress concentrations, and if ignored,
may result in cracks. Never use an alkaline cleaner on the blades
remove grease and dirt with carbon tetrachloride .
Oily spots may be cleaned with household spot removers, used sparingly.
Before using any solvent, test it on an obscure place on the fabric
to be cleaned. Never saturate the fabric with a volatile solvent j it m a y
damage the padding and backing materials.
The '''roy alite'' trim, instrument panel and control knobs need only be
wiped off with a damp cloth.
and grease on the control wheel and
control knobs can be removed with a cloth moistened with kerosene.

A static pressure alternate source valve may be installed in the static
system for use when the external static source is malfunctioning . This
valve may also be used to drain condensation from the system lines .
If erroneous instrument readings are suspected due to water or ice in the
static pressure lines, the static pressure alternate source valve should be
opened, thereby supplying static pressure from the cabin . Cabin pressures
will vary, however, with open cabin ventilators or windows . The most
adverse combinations will result in airspeed and altimeter variations of

TAXIING
l.
Taxi with water rudders down. It is best to limit the engine speed to
1000 RPM for normal taxi because water piles up in front of the float
bow at higher engine speeds. Taxiing with higher engine RPM may
result in engine overheating and will not appreciably increase the taxi
speed.

(
I .I .-
For minimum taxi speed in close quarters, use idle RPM with full
carburetor heat and a single magneto. This procedure is recommended
for short periods of time only.
Although taxiing is very simple with the water rudders, it is sometimes necessary to "sail" the floatplane in close quarters. In addition
to the normal flight controls, the wing flaps, cabin doors, and water
rudders will aid in "sailing".
To taxi great distances, it may be advisable to taxi on the step with
the water rudders retracted. Turns on the step may be made with safety
providing they are not too sharp and if ailerons are used to counteract
the overturning tendency.

NOTE
To reduce take-off water run, the technique of raising
one float out of the water may be used. This procedure
is described on page 6-1. 40 under "Minimum Run TakeOff".

TAKE-OFF
Normal Take-Off
The use of 10" flaps throughout the take-off run is recommended (refer
to Take-Off Data chart on page 6-1. 49 for take-off distances).
Apply full throttle smoothly and hold the control wheel full back.
Watch the point where the bow wave leaves the float, and move the
control wheel forward slowly as this point moves aft of the wing strut.
Slow control movement and light control pressures produce the best
results. Attempts to force the airplane into the planing attitude will
generally result in loss of speed and delay in getting on the step. The
airplane will assume a planing attitude which permits acceleration to
take - off indicated airspeed: 82 to 98 km/h - 44 to 53 kts - 51 to
61 MPH at which time the airplane will fly off smoothly.

Crosswind Take-Off

better directional control. Flaps are lowered to 10" and the water rudders

is normal. If the floats are lifted from the water one at a time, the

5 - PERFORMANCE
The airplane should be flown onto the water at this sink rate with no
flare since the height above smooth water is difficult to judge. Power
should be reduced and back pressure increased upon contacting the
surface.
...
Crosswind Landing
The wing-low slip method should be used with the upwind float contacting first.

NOTA
Good NAV intercept ability is limited to within 10 -15 miles of
tile station or within 3 minutes of interception of the desired course.
The best and most practical use the "NAV INTERCEPT" mode is
course changing after passing after passing a VOR station. Another
is capturing the localizer inbound. Once the new course is captured
the "NA V TRAC){" mode should be utilized sUlce it contains crosswind correction Circuitry. Localizer intercept ability outbound on
front or bacl:course' may be marginal.
