INSTRUMENT PANEL
The instrument panel (refer to Figure 7-2) is of all metal construction
and is installed in sections so equipment can be easily removed for
maintenance. The glareshield, above and projecting aft from the
instrument panel, limits undesirable reflections on the windshield
from lighted equipment and displays mounted in the instrument
panel.
The Nav
Ill instrument panel contains the Garmin GDU 1040
Primary Flight (PFD) and Multifunction (MFD) Displays and the
Garmin GMA 1347 Audio Panel. For specific details regarding the
instruments, switches, circuit breakers and controls on the
instrument panel, refer to the related topics in this section.
PILOT PANEL LAYOUT
The GDU 1040 Primary Flight Display (PFD), centered on the
instrument panel in front of the pilot, shows the primary flight
instruments during normal operation. During engine start,
reversionary operation (MFD failure) or when the DISPLAY BACKUP
switch is selected, the Engine Indication System (EIS) is shown on
the PFD. Refer to the Garmin
G1OOOTM Cockpit Reference Guide for
specific operating information.
The Standby Battery
(STBY BAT) switch is found at the upper left
corner of the pilot instrument panel on an internally lighted
sub-
panel. The switch positions (ARMJOFFfiEST) select the standby
battery operating modes. The rocker-type MASTER and AVIONICS
switches are found immediately below the standby battery switch.
The controls for adjusting instrument panel, equipment, and
pedestal lighting are found together on the sub-panel below the
MASTER and
AVlOhllCS switches. See the INTERNAL LIGHTING
