  1. Cessna Aircraft Differences Training

  2. Objectives / Content • Summarize key differences among models in CAP’s Cessna aircraft fleet in terms of: • General Description • Aerodynamics (speeds) • Weight Limitations • Training Requirements • General Differences • Techniques

  3. The information in this briefing is intended to serve as a departure point for discussion during CAP flight evaluations and transition training. It should not be interpreted or used as a substitute for the detailed information provided in the Airplane Flying Manual or Pilot’s Operating Handbook for each aircraft model.

  4. General Description *Standard Tanks-40 Gal / Long Range-50 Gal / Integral-62 Gal

  5. Aerodynamics

  6. Weight Limitations * Useful load varies, check the aircraft’s weight and balance for specific data

  7. Training Requirements *CAPR 70-1 7.1.4. requires an initial CAPF 5 in each aircraft type (e.g., make/model, endorsement). Thereafter, a pilot my renew qualifications as follows:7.1.4.1. High-Performance: Pass the CAPF 5 in a high performance airplane 7.1.4.2. Complex: Pass the CAPF 5 in a complex airplane or show evidence of equivalent check ride in military or under Part 61.58, 121.439/441, or 135.293/297 in the past 12 calendar months 7.1.4.3. G1000: Pass the CAPF 5 in a G1000-equipped airplane Equivalent Aircraft: • C182QSP counts for C182 • C206SP counts for C206. C205, and C207

  8. General Differences – C182 • Heavier on the controls then the C-172 • Normally configured with flaps at 10 degrees for takeoff – – allows for easier rotation and less “pull” on the yoke • Considerably more “nose heavy,” thus requiring more back pressure on landing. • Takeoff weight can be higher than maximum landing weight • Slips are to be avoided in varied C-172/185 models in certain flap settings – check the specific POH.

  9. General Differences – C206 • Heavier controls: • Similar in feel to the 182, but larger, heavier • Longer nose: • Limited visibility over the nose in the landing flare • Landing attitude: • Far more tail low than 172 or 182 - tendency is to land nose wheel first or three point

  10. General Differences – C206 • Engine: • Discuss engine operation for turbocharger • Fuel injection vs carbureted engines • Flaps: • Flap interrupt switch • How to open cargo door if flaps are extended • Gear: • Spring steel gear tends to vibrate in flight

  11. Technique – C206 • Taxi: • Keep taxi speeds low in gusty/crosswinds • Minimize use of flaps while taxiing • Landing: • Proper technique for recovery from a bounce is imperative • Use caution on landing rollout to maintain directional control and avoid over braking • Avoid configuration changes during the landing rollout: wait until clear of the runway before retracting wing flaps and opening cowl flaps to reduce distractions during a critical phase
