*Speed performance

shown for

airplane equipped with

speed

fairings

which

increase

the

speeds

approximately 2 knots. There is a corresponding difference

range,

while

all

other

performance

figures

are

unchanged when speed fairings are installed.

The above performance figures are based

airplane weights at 2550

pounds, standard atmospheric conditions, level, hard-surfaced dry

runways and

wind. They are calculated values derived from flight

tests conducted

Cessna Aircraft Company under carefully

documented conditions and will vary with individual airplanes and

numerous factors affecting flight performance.
