Cessna 172S Systems Guide First Edition

Thanks for purchasing the 172S Model Systems book. This book follows the order of systems from the Cessna 172S Model Pilot Operating Handbook. I wrote this book because I’ve always found the POH to lack content. In some cases, drawings have components listed with no explanation in the description and in other cases the drawings are incomplete or confusing. For this book I redrew the fuel system and the electrical system diagrams. They use proper symbology and follow an engineering standard. They are not harder to read, just way more complete. I also took the time to teach basic electricity before discussing the electrical system. The reason people don’t understand the electrical system on airplanes is because they don’t understand basic DC electricity. It covers circuits, components and basically how things work. I hope that part of the book helps you finally understand how things work. I did include the electrical diagrams, rewritten by me, for a 172S G1000 equipped airplane but the book doesn’t address the Nav III, G1000 equipment. It is just for reference.
