There is a corresponding differencein range, while all other performance figures areunchanged when speed fairings are above performance figures are based on airplane weights at 2550pounds, standard atmospheric conditions, level, hard-surfaced dryrunways and no wind. They are calculated values derived from flighttests conducted by Cessna Aircraft Company under carefullydocumented conditions and will vary with individual airplanes andnumerous factors affecting flight performance. iii/ivRevision 3 CESSNAINTRODUCTIONMODEL 172S NAV 3 Cessna Aircraft CompanyModel 172 SNAV III AVIONICS OPTIONS erials 172S9810 and OnTHIS MANUAL INCORPORATES INFORMATION ISSUED IN THEPILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK AND FAA APPROVEDAIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL AT REVISION 4 DATED 12 OCTOBER2006 (PART NUMBER 172 SPHAUS-04).
