NOTE
Speed performance is shown for an airplane equipped with
speed fairings which increase the speeds by approximately
2 knots. There is a corresponding difference in range, while
all other performance figures are unchanged when speed
fairings are installed.
The above performance figures are based on airplane weights at
2550 pounds, standard atmospheric conditions, level, hard-surfaced
dry runways and no wind. They are calculated values derived from
flight tests conducted by The Cessna Aircraft Company under
carefully documented conditions and will vary with individual
airplanes and numerous factors affecting flight performance.
