NOTICE
The Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) is distributed by
the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation
Administration. This Master Minimum Equipment List Operation
and Maintenance Procedures manual contains only the items
from the Master Minimum Equipment List which have
Operational (O) or Maintenance (M) procedure requirements.
Cessna does not support Minimum Equipment List items not
published in the MMEL.
Cessna’s policy is to revise this manual only to accommodate
changes to a new MMEL revision, which requires a change to, or
a new, Operational (O) or Maintenance (M) required procedure.
If a revised MMEL is released, but does not affect any required
procedure, the Operational and Maintenance (O&M) manual will
not be revised at that time. Cessna reserves the right to make
format changes without generating a new revision.
Operational (O) and Maintenance (M) procedures in this manual
are recommended by Cessna Aircraft Company. Most of the
procedures in this manual have been approved in some MEL’s.
This document is not FAA approved, but is intended to aid
operators in writing and gaining approval for their specific
Minimum Equipment List (MEL). The Operator is responsible to
make sure that all crew members are properly trained in the use
of MEL (O) and (M) procedures.
The Narrative section of each Maintenance (M) procedure is
intended to satisfy the FAR 135 MEL requirement for training
non-maintenance individuals whom are authorized, in the MEL,
to perform maintenance tasks.

(M) (O) May be inoperative provided:
a) Takeoff and landing field temperatures are not in excess of +10 degrees C, and
b) If only one system has failed, the operational system is also selected ON.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
Since the engine inlet under temperature switch is set at 60ºF (15.56ºC),
testing on days where the ambient temperature approaches this set
point may lead to the annunciator not illuminating. Annunciator will only
illuminate under normal conditions in ambient temperature settings less
than 60ºF (15.56ºC).
CAUTION:
The wing engine anti-ice switches operate both the left and right
wing leading edge and engine air inlet systems. Do not operate the
system longer than 5 minutes followed by a 30 minute cooling off
period.
WARNING:
Use extreme care when touching heated surfaces. Severe burns to
hands could result.
1. Position aircraft in a suitable run-up area and chock both main landing gear.
2. Station an additional technician outside of aircraft. Make sure appropriate
personal safety equipment is used and all personnel are briefed on hazards of
working with operating engines.
3. Using AFM Normal Procedures, start both engines.
4. Ensure LH and RH ENGINE ANTI ICE circuit breakers are engaged.
5. Select the appropriate L or R ENGINE anti-ice switch to the ENGINE ON position
and verify the affected side indication(s) illuminates/display.
6. Slowly increase the affected side throttle to 70%N2 and verify the affected side
annunciator/CAS message extinguishes within one minute.
7. Switch the affected side ENGINE anti-ice switch to the OFF position and reduce
throttle to idle.
8. Repeat steps 4 thru 6 for the unaffected side.
9. Cautiously verify the temperature of the both engine inlets. The engine inlet
should be a minimum of outside air +50ºF(10ºC), verified by lightly touching the
surfaces. Another method is to verify heated airflow from the exhaust vent on the
side of the engine nacelle.
10. Using AFM Normal Procedures, power down aircraft
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE:
1. Flight crew must make sure that ambient temperatures at takeoff/landing do not
