Section VI
OPERATIONAL DATA
The operational data charts on the following pages are
presented for two purposes; first, so that you may know what to
expect from your airplane under various conditions, and second, to
enable you to plan your flights in detail and with reasonable
accuracy.
The data in the charts has been compiled from actual flight
tests with the airplane and engine in good condition and using
average piloting techniques. Note also that the range charts make
no allowances for wind, navigational errors, warm-up, take-off,
climb, etc. You must estimate these variables for yourself and
make allowances accordingly. Other indeterminate variables
such as mixture leaning techniques, fuel metering characteristics,
engine and propeller condition, and air turbulence may account
for variations of 10% or more in maximum range. Speeds shown
in the Cruise Performance charts reflect performance in the
standard configuration. Speeds may be 2 to 3 kts slower with
optional radio antennas installed.
Remember that the charts contained herein are based on
standard day conditions. In the case of take-off and climb
performance, correction factors are included in the footnotes in
these charts to show the effect of temperatures hotter than
standard. These factors are based on moderate humidity
conditions. Under extremely high humidity conditions, these
correction factors may be twice as great as those shown. For

information, consult the Cessna Flight Guide (power computer)
supplied with your aircraft. With the Flight Guide, you can easily
take into account temperature variations from standard at any
flight altitude.
