CESSNA SECTION 2
MODEL 162 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
GARMIN G300
U.S.
CABIN HEATING AND VENTILATING SYSTEM
The cabin heating and ventilating system consists of a cabin heat
system and fresh air from wing leading edge openings.
Cabin heat is controlled by a push-pull cable from the CABIN HEAT
control knob located on the lower instrument panel. When the CABIN
HEAT control knob is placed in the ON or full aft position, air is heated
as it is directed around the exhaust heat shroud and ducted to a air
control valve located on the firewall. With the air control valve in the on
position, warm air is directed towards the pilot's and front passenger’s
feet through various ducting located in the cabin. With the CABIN HEAT
control knob in the off or full forward position, preheated air is
redirected into the engine compartment through the air control valve
located on the firewall.
Fresh air ducts direct ram air from the wing root openings to fresh air
valves located overhead at the outboard corners of the windshield.
These fresh air valves are equipped with directional control as well as
variable flow adjustment settings.
STALL WARNING SYSTEM
Stall warning is a pneumatically operated by localized pressure
differential created by low pressure airflow around the wing and higher
static pressure internally. The stall warning horn will sound 5-8 knots
prior to stall buffet to provide notice to the pilot of impending stall. Horn
activation will not prevent a stall from occurring. When the horn sounds,
the pilot should react by initiating stall avoidance procedures (decrease
of angle of attack, increase airspeed, etc.). The stall warning system
does not require electrical power for operation. The stall warning
system opening located in the right wing should be checked during
preflight to make sure it is free of debris that might interfere with airflow
and correct operation. To check the system, place a clean cloth over
the vent opening and apply suction; a sound from the warning horn will
confirm system operation.
