Systems Description
speed, altimeter, vertical speed, turn coordinator, and a
clock. A
magnetic compass is mounted above the instru-
ment panel and an outside air temperature indicator is
located on the
left side panel. Located on the right side of
the
instrument panel is the standard pressure gage for the
instrument air system.
POWER PLANT INSTRUMENTS
Most of the engine instruments are located in the upper
center of the instrument panel. The standard indicators for
each engine are as follows: tachometers, manifold pres-
sure, fuel flow, fuel quantity, and loadmeters. Other in-
dicators such as the exhaust. gas temperature system, the
propeller deice ammeter (or propeller alcohol quantity and
deice
pressure) are usually installed on the right side of the
instrument panel. Two multi-purpose instruments, one for
each engine, indicate cylinder head temperature, oil pres-
sure, and oil temperature.
GROUND CONTROL
Spring-loaded linkage from the nose gear to the adjustable
rudder pedals allows for nose wheel steering. Smooth
turning is accomplished by allowing the airplane to roll
while depressing the appropriate rudder pedal. The mini-
mum wing tip turni ng radius, using partial braking action
and differential power, is 31 feet 6 inches.
WING FLAPS
The wing flaps have three positions; UP, 15° (approach),
and
DOWN (30°), with no intermediate positions. A flap
position indicator and a control switch are located on the
left side of the control console. The switch must be pulled
out of a detent to change the flap position. The flaps will
move to either position selected from any previously
selected position.
