Not a substitute for the POH
These procedures are abbreviated and derived from the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual and POH P/N 13772-006. They do not supersede the POH — in the event of conflict, the POH takes precedence. Verify against the approved manual for your specific serial number and configuration before use. Items marked FIKI apply only to serials with the Flight Into Known Ice system.
