Section VII
Systems Description
The floating instrument panel contains all flight instru-
ments except the magnetic compass. On this panel are the
airspeed indicator. gyro horizon. altimeter. turn coordina-
tor, directional gyro. and vertical speed indicator. with
provisions for an ADF indicator and a clock. Additional
navigation equipment, such as dual omni indicators. can
be mounted in the panel directly below the flight in-
strument grouping.
POWER PLANT INSTRUMENTS
The engine instruments include: cylinder head temper-
ature, oil temperature. oil pressure indicators. tachom-
eter, manifold pressure, fuel flow, and fuel quantity indi-
cators, and an ammeter.
The cylinder head temperature sensor is installed in the
engine cylinder which, because of location in the compart-
ment, has the highest temperature reading. Monitor
cylinder head temperature after power setting ad-
justments are made, to assure that the engine operating
temperature remains in the desired range.
The oil pressure normal operating range is 30 to 60 psi.
The oil pressure should be checked when starting the en-
gine and with extra attention when starting during cold
weather. The oil temperature operating range is 100°F to
240°F. Monitor the oil temperature after starting to assure
temperature is above minimum before advancing the
throttle above warm-up rpm and on descent with power
reduced to avoid overcooling.
The tachometer is driven by a flexible shaft from the
engine accessory section. Incorporated in the tachometer
is an engine hour meter which automatically records the
total engine operating time.
