CESSNA SECTION 3 -EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MODEL 182T FAA APPROVED
RECOVERY FROM SPIRAL DIVE IN THE CLOUDS
If a spiral is encountered in the clouds, proceed as follows:
1. Retard throttle to idle position.
2. Stop the turn by using coordinated aileron and rudder control
to align the symbolic airplane in the turn coordinator with the
horizon reference line.
3. Cautiously apply elevator back pressure to slowly reduce the
airspeed to 80 KIAS.
4. Adjust the elevator trim control to maintain an 80 KIAS glide.
5. Keep hands off the control wheel, using rudder control to hold
a straight heading.
6. Clear engine occasionally, but avoid using enough power to
disturb the trimmed glide.
7. Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight.
INADVERTENT FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS
Flight into icing conditions is prohibited and extremely
dangerous. An inadvertent encounter with these conditions can best
be handled using the checklist procedures. The best procedure, of
course, is to turn back or change altitude to escape icing conditions.
STATIC SOURCE BLOCKED
If erroneous readings of the static source instruments (airspeed,
altimeter and vertical speed) are suspected, the static pressure
alternate source valve should be pulled on, thereby supplying static
pressure to these instruments from the cabin.
With the alternate static source on, refer to the Alternate Static
Source Airspeed Calibration table in Section 5 for additional details.
Maximum airspeed and altimeter variation from normal is 5 knots
and 80 feet over the normal operating range with the window(s)
closed. See Section 5 tables for airspeed calibration data.
