SECTION 7
AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
CLOCK I O.A.T. INDICATOR
CESSNA
MODEL 172S NAV
III
A numerical time or clock window (based
on
GPS time)
and
an
outside air temperature
(OAT.)
indicator window are provided along "
the lower edge
of
the
PFD.
The
OAT.
indicator uses
an
air
temperature sensor located
on
top of the cabin.
STALL WARNING SYSTEM
The airplane is equipped with a pneumatic type stall warning
system consisting
of
an
inlet
in
the leading edge
of
the left wing,
an
air-operated horn near the upper left corner of the windshield, and
associated plumbing.
As
the airplane approaches a stall, the low
pressure
on
the upper surface of the wings moves forward around
the leading edge
of
the wings. This low pressure creates a
differential pressure
in
the stall warning system which draws air
through the warning horn, resulting
in
an
audible warning at 5 to
10
knots above stall
in
all flight conditions.
STANDARD AVIONICS
The Garmin
GIOOO
Avionics System is
an
integrated flight control
and
navigation system. The system combines primary flight
instruments, communications, aircraft system information
and
navigational information all displayed
on
two color displays. The
GIOOO
system consists
of
the following pieces of equipment:
GDU 1040
COlOR
DISPLAY
Two identical units are mounted
on
the instrument panel. One,
located
in
front of the pilot,
is
configured
as
a Primary Flight
Display, or
PFD.
A second panel, located to the right, is configured
as a Multi-Function Display, or MFD.
The
PFD
displays
roll
and pitch information, heading
and
course
navigation information, plus altitude, airspeed and vertical speed
information
to
the pilot. The
PFD
also controls and displays all
communication and navigation frequencies
as
well as displaying
warning/status annunciations of aircraft systems.
