FOREWORD

I would like to extend my compliments and thanks to Alex

Franzen, who expended a great deal of time and talent to

produce this manual, based on the actual C-172P POH, for

the DF2000 / FSD Cessna 172P.

It is an outstanding effort! This manual is intended for use

along with the detailed documentation originally provided

with our C-172P panel, and also makes reference to certain

features of our panel.

It is people such as Alex who make this hobby the great one

that it is, and we all hope you enjoy many happy hours

flying the 172, with this manual as your guide.

                                             

Happy Flying!

*Abrupt use of the controls is prohibited above 99 knots

Aerobatics that may impose highloads should not be attempted.The important thing to bear inmind in flight maneuveres is thatthe airplane is c lean inaerodynamic design and will builsup speed quickly with the nosedown. Proper speed control is anessential requirement forexecution of any maneuver, andcare should always be exercised

to avoid excessive speed whichin turn can impose excessiveloads. In the execution of allmaneuvers, avoid abrupt use ofthe controls. Intentional spinswith f laps extended areprohibited.

ICING

INADVERTED ICING ENCOUNTER

[1] Turn pitot heat switch ON (if installed)[2] Turn back or change altitude to obtain an outside air tempera-

ture that is less conductive to icing.[3] Pull cabin heat control full out and open defroster outlets to

obtain maximum windshield defroster airflow. Adjust cabin aircontrol to get maximum defroster heat and airflow.

[4] Open the throttle to increase engine speed and minimize icebuild up on propeller blades.

[5] Watch for signs of carburetor air filter ice and apply carburetorheat as required. An unexplained loss in engine speed could becaused by carburetor ice or air intake filter ice. Lean the mix-ture for maximum RPM, if carburetor heat is used continously.

[6] Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an extremely rapidice build-up, select a suitable „off airport“ landing site.

[7] With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on the wingleading edges, be prepared for significantly higher stall speed.

[8] Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build-up on thehorizontal tail, the change in wing wake airflow directioncaused by wing flap extension could result in a loss of elevatoreffectiveness.

[9] Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from a portion ofthe windshield for visibility in the landing approach.

[10] Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if necessary,for improved visibility.

[11] Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the amount of theaccumulation.

[12] Perform a landing in level attitude.

TAKEOFFThe takeoff distance chart, figure5-4 should be consultet, keepingin mind that that the distancesshown are based on the shortfield technique. Conservative

distances can be established byreading the chart at the nexthigher value of weight, altitudeand temperature. For example, aweight of 2400 pounds, pressure

altitude of 2000 feet and atemperature of 30°C should resultin the following: •

A correction for the effect of windmay be based on Note 3 of the

CRUISEThe cruising altitude should beselected based on a considerationof trip length, winds aloft, andthe airplane‘s performance. Atypical cruising altitude and theexpected wind enroute have beengiven for the sample problem.However, the power settingselection for cruise must be deter-mined based on severa lconsiderations. These include thec r u i s e p e r f o r m a n c e

characteristics presented in figure5-7, the range profile chartpresented in figure 5-8, and theendurance profile chart presentedin figure 5-9.The relationship between powerand range is illustrated by therange profile chart. Considerablefuel savings and longer rangeresult when lower power settingsare used. For thze sampleproblem, a cruise power of

approximately 65% will be used.The cruise performance chart,figure 5-7, is centered at 6000feet altitude and 20°C abovestandard temperature. Thesevalues most nearly correspondto the planned altitude andexpected temperature conditions.The engine speed chosen is 2500RPM, which results in thefollowing: •

PowerTrue airspeedCruise fuel flow

FUEL REQUIRED

The total fuel requirement forthe flight may be estimated usingthe performance information infigzres 5-6 and 5-7. For thesample problem, figure 5-6 showsthat a climb from 2000 feet to6000 feet requires 1.6 gallons offuel. The corresponding distanceduring the climb is 10 nautical

miles. These values are for astandard temperature and aresufficiently accurate for mostfl ight planning purposes.However, a further correction forthe effect of temperature may bemade as noted on the climb chart.The approximate effect of a non-standard temperature is to

increase the time, fuel, anddistance by 10% for each 10°Cabove standard temperature, dueto the lower rate of climb. In thiscase, assuming a temperature16°C above standard, thecorrection would be:

With this factor included, the fuel estimate would be calculated as follows:

16°C10°C

10% = 16% Increase

Using a similar procedure forthe distance to climb results in12 nautical miles. The resultantcruise distance is:

With an expected 10 knotheadwind, the ground speed forcruise is predicted to be:

Therefor, the time required forthe cruise portion of the trip is:

LANDINGA procedure similar to takeoffshould be used for estimating thelanding d i s tance a t the

destination airport. Figure 5-10presents landing distanceinformation for the short field

technique . The d i s tancecorresponding to 2000 feet and30°C are as follows:

Oil for the engine lubrication issupplied from a sump at thebottom of the engine. Thecapacity of the enfine sump isseven quarts (one additionalquart is contained in the full flowoil filter. Oil is drawn from thesump through an oil suctionstrainer screen into the engine-driven oil pump. From the pumpoil is routed to a bypass valve. Ifthe oil is cold, the bypass valveallows the oil to bypass the oilcooler and go directly from thepump to the full flow oil filter. If

the oil is hot, the bypass valveroutes the oil out of the accessoryhousing and into a flexible hoseleading to the oil cooler on theright rear engine baffle. Pressureoil from the cooler returns to theaccessory housing where it passesthrough the full flow oil filter.The filter oil then enters apressure relief valve whichregulates engine oil pressure byallowing excessive oil to returnto the sump while the balance ofthe oil is circulated to variousengine parts for lubrication.

Residual oil is returned to sumpby gravity flow.

An oil filter cap/oil dipstick islocated at the right rear of theengine. The filler cap/dipstick isaccesible through an access dooron the top right side of the enginecownling. The engine should notbe operated on less that fivequarts of oil. For extended flightfill to seven quarts (dipstickindication only). •

ENGINE OIL SYSTEM

IGNITION-STARTER SYSTEMEngine ignition is provided bytwo engine-driven magnetos, andtwo spark plugs in each cylinder.The right magneto fires the lowerright and upper right spark-plugs.Normal operation is conductedwith both magnetos due to themore complete burning of thefuel-air mixture with dualignition.

Ignition and starter operation iscontrolled by a rotary type switchlocated on the left switch andcontrol panel. The switch islabelled clockwise: OFF, R, L,BOTH and START. The engineshould be operated on BOTHm a g n e t o s e x c e p t f o rmagnetochecks. The R and Lposition are for checking

purposes and emergency useonly. When the switch is rotatedto the spring-loaded START-position, the starter contactor isenergized and the starter willcrank the engine. When theswitch is released, it willautomatically return to the BOTH-position. •

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMThe engine air induction systemreceives ram air through anintake in the lower front portionof the engine cowling. The intakeis covered by an air-filter whichremoves dust and other foreignmatter from the induction air.Airflow passing through the filterenters an airbox. After passingthrough the airbox, induction air

enters the inlet in the carburetorwhich is under the engine, andis then ducted to the enginecylinders through intake manifoldtubes. In the event carburetor iceis encountered or the intake filterbecomes blocked, alternateheated air can beobtained froma shroud around an exhaust riserthrough a duct to a valve in the

airbox operated by the carburetorheat control on the instrumentpanel. Heated air from the shroudis obtained from an unfilteredoutside source. Use of fullcarburetor heat at full throttlewi l l resul t in a loss ofapproximately 75 to 150 RPM. •

CARBURETOR AND PRIMING SYSTEMThe engine is equipped with anup-draft, float-type, jetcarburetormounted on the bottom of theengine. The carburetor isequipped with an enclosedaccelerator pump, an idle cut-offmechanism and a manual mixturecontrol. Fuel is delivered to thecarburetor by gravity flow from

the fuel system. In the carburetor,fuel is atomized, properly mixedwith intake air and delivered tothe cylinders through intakemanifold tubes. The proportionof atomized fuel to air may becontrolled, within limits, by themixture control on the instrumentpanel.

For easy starting in cool weather,the engine is equipped with amanual primer. The primer isactually a small pump whichdraws fuel from the fuel strainerwhen the plunger is pulled out,and injects it into the cylinderintake ports when the plunger ispushed back in. •

The airplane may be equippedwith a standard fuel system oreither of two long range systems.Each system consists of twovented fuel tanks (one tank eachwing), a four-position selectorvalve, fuel strainer, manualprimer, and carburetor. The 68-gallon long-range system utilizes

Ram air for engine cooling entersthrough two intake openings inthe front of the engine cowling.The cooling air is directed around

the cylinders and other areas ofthe engine by baffling, and is thenexhausted through an opening atthe bottom aft edge of the

cowling. No manual coolingsystem control is provided. •

COOLING SYSTEM

The airplane is equipped with atwo-bladed, fixed-pitch, one-piece

forged aluminium alloy propellerwich is anodized to retard

corrosion. The propeller is 75inches in diameter. •

indicators on the left side of theinstrument panel. An empty tankis indicated by a red line and theletter E. When an indicator showsan empty tank, approximately1.5 gallons remain in a standardtank, and 2 gallons remain in along range tank (3 gallons whenlong range integral tanks areinstalles) as unusable fuel. Theindicators cannot be relied uponfor accurate readings duringskids, slips, or unusual attitudes.The fuel selector valve should bein BOTH position for takeoff,climb, landing and maneuversthat involve prolonged slips orskids. Operation from either LEFTor RIGHT tank is reserved forcruising flight.

NOTE1:When the fuel selector valvehandle is in the BOTH position incruising flight, unequal fuel flowfrom each tank may occur if the

wings are not maintained exactlylevel. Resulting wing heavinesscan be alleviated gradually byturning the selector valve handleto the tank in the heavy wing.

NOTE2:When the fuel tanks are 1/4 fullor less, prolonged uncoordinatedflight such as slips or skids cancover the fuel tank outlets.Therefor, if operating with onefuel tank dry or if operating onLEFT or RIGHT tank when 1/4 fullor less, do not allow the airplaneto remain in uncoordinated flightfor periods in excess of 30seconds.

NOTE3:It is not practical to measure thetime required to consume all ofthe fuel in one tank, and, afterswitching to the opposite tank,expect an equal duration fromthe remaining fuel. The airspace

i n b o t h f u e l t a n k s i sinterconnected by a vent line and,therefor, some sloshing of fuelbetween tanks can be expectedwhen the tanks are nearly fulland the wings are not level.

The fuel system is equipped withdrain valves to provide a meansfor the examination of fuel in thesystem foe contamination andgrade. The system should beexamined before the first flightof every day and after eachrefueling, by using the samplercup provided to drain fuel fromthe wing tank sumps, and byutilizing the fuel strainer drainunder an access door on the aftright side of the top enginecowling. If takeoff weightlimitations for the next flightpermit, the fuel tanks shoul befilled after each flight to preventcondensation. •

BRAKE SYSTEMThe airplane has a singe -disc,hydraulically-actuated brake onech main landing gear wheel.Each brake is connected, by ahydraulic line, to a mastercylinder attached to each of thepilot‘s rudder pedals. The brakesare operated by applyingpressure to the top of either theleft (pilot‘s) or right (copilot‘s)set of rudder pedals, which areinterconnected. When theairplane is parked, both mainwheel brakes may be set byutilizing the parking brake whichis operated by a handle under

the left side of the instrumentpanel. To apply the parkingbrake, set the brakes with therudder pedals, pull the handleaft, and rotate it 90° down.For maximum brake life, keep theb r a k e s y s t e m p r o p e r l ymaintained, and minimize brakeusage during taxi operations andlandings.Some of the symtoms ofimpending brake failure are:gradual decrease in brakingaction after brake application,noisy or dragging brakes, soft orspongy pedals, and excessive

travel and weak braking action.If any of these symptoms appear,the brake system is in need ofimmediate attention. If, duringtaxi or landing roll, braking actiondecreases, let up on the pedalsand then re-apply the brakes withheavy pressure. If the brakesbecome spongy or pedal travelincreases, pumping the pedalsshould build braking pressure. Ifone brake becomes weak or fails,use the other brake sparinglywhile using opposite rudder, asrequired, to offset the good brake. •

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMThe airplane is equipped with a28-volt, direct-current, electricalsystem. The system is poweredby a belt-driven, 60-ampalternator and a 24-volt battery,located on the left forward sideof the firewall. Power is suppliedto most general electrical and all

avionics circuits through theprimary bus bar and the avionicsbus bar, which is interconnectedby an avionics power switch. Theprimary bus is on anytime themaster switch is turned on, andis not affected by starter orexternal power usage. Both bus

bars are on anytime the masterand avionics power switches areturned on.

CAUTION:Prior to turning the master switchon or off, starting the engine orapplying an external power

source, the avionics power switch,labeled AVIONICS POWER, shouldbe turned off to prevent anyharmful transient voltage fromd a m a g i n g t h e a v i o n i c sequipment.

MASTER SWITCHThe master switch is a splitrocker-type switch labeledMASTER, and is ON in the upposition. The right half of theswitch labeled BAT controls allthe electrical power to theairplane. The left half, labeledALT controls the alternator.Normally, both sides of the mastersw i t ch shou ld be u s edsimultaneously; however, the BATside of the switch could be turnedon seperately to check equipmentwhile on the ground. To check oruse avionics equipment or radioswhile on the ground, the avionicspower switch must also be turnedon. The ALT side of the switch,when placed in the OFF position,removes the alternator from theelectrical system. While thisswitch in the OFF position, theentire electrical load is placed onthe battery. Continued operationwith the alternator switch in theOFF position will reduce batterypower low enough to open thebattery contactor, remove powerfrom the alternator field, andprevent alternator restart.

AVIONICS POWER SWITCHElectrical power from the airplaneprimary bus to the avionics busis controlled by a toggleswitch/circuit braker labeledAVIONICS POWER. The switch islocated on the left side of theswitch and control panel and isON in the up position. With theswitch in the OFF position, noelectrical power will be appliedto the avionics equipment,regardless of the position of themaster switch or the individualequipment switches. The avionicspower switch also functions as acircuit breaker. If an electricalmalfunction should occur andcause the circuit braker to open,electrical power to the avionicsequipment will be interruptedand the switch will automatically

move to OFF position. If thisoccurs, allow the circuit breakerto cool for about two minutesbefore placing the switch in theON position again. If the circuitbreaker opens again, do not resetit. The avionics power switchshould be placed in the OFFposition prior to turning themaster switch ON or OFF, startingthe engine, or applying anexternal power sourve, and maybe utilized in place of theindividual avionics equipmentswitches.

AMMETERThe ammeter, located on thelower left side of the instrumentpanel, indicates the amount ofcurrent in amperes, from thealternator to the battery or fromthe battery to the airplaneelectrical system. When theengine is operating and themaster switch is turned on, theammeter indicates the chargingrate applied to the battery. In theevent the alternator is notfunctioning or the elctrical loadexceeds the output of thealternator, the ammeter indicatesthe battery discharge rate.

ALTERNATOR CONTROL UNITA N D L O W - V O L T A G EWARNING LIGHTThe airplane is equipped with acombination alternator regularhigh-low voltage control unitmounted on the engine side ofthe firewall and a red warninglight , labeled LOW VOLTAGE, onthe left side of the instrumentpanel below the ammeter.In the event an over-voltagecondition occurs, the alternatorcontrol unit automaticallyremoves alternator field currentwhich shuts down the alternator.The battery will then supplysystem current as shown by adischarge rate on the ammeter.Under these condi t ions ,depending on electrical systemload, the low-voltage warninglight will illuminate when systemvoltage drops below normal. Thealternator control unit may bereset by turning the master switch

off and back on again. If thewarning light does not illuminateagain, a malfunction has occured,and the fl ight should beterminated as soon as practical.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS ANDFUSESMost of the elecrical circuits inthe airplane are protected by„push-to-reset“ type circuitbreakers mounted on the left sideof the switch and control panel.However, circuit breakersprotecting the alternator outputand the strobe light/avionicscooling fan circuits are the „pull-off“ type. In addition to theindividual circuit breakers, atoggle switch/circuit breaker,labeled AVIONICS POWER, on theleft side of the switch and controlpanel, also protects the avionicssystem. The control wheel maplight (if installed) is protected bythe NAV LT circuit breaker anda fuse behind the instrumentpanel. Electrical circuits whichare not protected by circuitbreakers are the battery contactorclosing (external power) circuit,clock circuit, and flight hourrecorder circuit. These circuitsare protected by fuses mountedadjacent to the battery. •

Conventional navigation lightsare located on the wing tips andtop of the rudder. A singlelanding light is located in thecowl nose cap. Dual landing/taxilights are available and alsolocated in the cowl nose cap.Additional lighting is available

and includes a flashing beaconmounted on top of the verticalfin, a strobe light on each wingtip, and a courtesy light recessedinto the lower surface of eachwing slightly outboard of thecabin doors.The flashing beacon should not

be used when flying throughclouds or overcast; the flashinglight reflected from the waterdroplets or particles in theatmosphere, particularly at nightcan produce vertigo and loss oforientation. •

LIGHTING

STALL WARNING SYSTEMThe airplane is equipped with apneumatic-type stall warningsystem consisting of an inlet inthe leading edge of the left wingand an air-operated horn nearthe upper left corner of the

windshield. As the airplaneapproaches a stall, the lowpressure on the upper surface ofthe wings moves forward aroundthe leading edge of the wings.This low pressure creates a

differential pressure in the stallwarning system which draws airthrough the warning horn,resultig in an audible warning at5 to 10 knots above stall. •

AVIONICS SUPPORT EQUIPMENTIf the airplane is equipped withavionics, various avionics supportequipment may also be installed.

Equipment available includes anavionics cooling fan, microphone-headset installations and control

surface dischargers. •

STATIC DISCHARGERSIf frequent IFR flights are planned,installation of wick-type staticdischargers is recommended toimprove radio communicationsduring flight through dust orvarious forms of precepitation.Under these conditions, the build-

up and discharge of staticelectricity from the trailing edgesof the wings, rudder, elevator,propeller tips and radio antennascan result in loss of usable radiosignals on all communicationsand navigation equipment.

Usually the ADF is first to beaffected and VHF communicationequipment is the last to beaffected. •FL

PITOT STATIC SYSTEM AND INSTRUMENTSThe pitot-static system suppliesram air pressure to the airspeedindicator and static pressure tothe air speed indicator, verticalspeed indicator and altimeter.The system is composed of eitheran unheated or heated pitot tubemounted on the lower surface ofthe left wing, an external staticport on the lower left side of theforward fuselage, and theassociated plumbing necessaryto connect the instruments to thesources. The heated pitot system(if installed) consists of a heatingelement in the pitot tube, a rockerswitch labeld PITOT HT, a 5-ampcircuit breaker, and associatedwiring.A static pressure alternate source

valve may be installed on theswitch and control panel belowthe throttle, and can be used ifthe external static pressure sourceis malfunctioning.

AIRSPEED INDICATORThe airspeed indicator iscalibrated in knots. Limitationand range markings include thewhite arc, green arc, yellow arcand a red line.

VERTICAL SPEED INDICATORThe vertical speed indicatordepicts airplane rate of climb anddescent in feet per minute. Thepo in t e r i s a c tua t ed byatmospheric pressure changesresulting from changes of altitude

as supplied by static source.

ALTIMETERAirplane altitude is depicted bya barometric type altimeter. Aknob near the lower left portionof the indicator providesadjustment of the instrument‘sbarometric scale to the currentaltimeter setting. •

VACUUM SYSTEM AND INSTRUMENTSAn engine-driven vacuum systemprovides the suction necessaryto operate the attitude indicatorand directional indicator. Thesystem consistes of a vacuumpump mounted on the engine, a

vacuum relief valve and vacuumsystem airfilter on the left sideof the firewall below thei n s t r u m e n t p a n e l , a n dinstruments on the left side ofthe instrument panel.

ATTITUDE INDICATORThe attitude indicator gives avisual indication of flight attitude.Bank attitude is presented by apointer at the top of the indicatorrelative to the bank scale whichhas index marks at 10°, 20°, 30°,60° and 90° either side of thecenter mark. Pitch and rollattitudes are presented by aminiature airplane superimposedover a symbolic horizon areadivided into two sections by awhite horizon bar.

DIRECTIONAL INDICATORA directional indicator displaysairplane heading on a compasscard in relation to a fixedsimulated airplane image andindex. The indicator will precessslightly over a period of time.Therefor the compass card shouldbe set in accordance with themagnetic compass just prior totakeoff, and occasionally re-adjusted on extended flights.
