VERTICAL
SPEED
INDICATOR
The
Vertical
Speed
Indicator
(VSI)
tape
is
found
on
the
right
side
of
the
altimeter
display
along
the
upper
right
side
of
the
PFD.
The
vertical
speed
pointer
moves
up
and
down
the
fixed
VSI
scale
and
shows
the
rate
of
climb
or
descent
in
digits
inside
the
pointer.
The
VSI
tape
has
a
notch
on
the
right
edge
at
the
0
feet/min
index
for
reference,
Rate
of
descent
is
shown
with
a
negative
sign
in
front
of
the
digits.
Vertical
speed
must
exceed
100
feet/min
in
climb
or
descent
before
digits
will
appear
in
the
VSI
pointer.
GROUND
CONTROL
Effective
ground
control
while
taxiing
is
accomplished
through
nosewheel
steering
by
using
the
rudder
pedals;
left
rudder
pedal
to
steer
left
and
right
rudder
pedal
to
steer
right.
When
a
rudder
pedal
is
depressed,
a
spring
loaded
steering
bungee,
which
is
connected
to
the
nose
gear
and
to
the
rudder
bars,
will
turn
the
nosewheel
through
an
arc
of
approximately
11°
each
side
of
center.
By
applying
either
left
or
right
brake,
the
degree
of
turn
may
be
increased
up
to
29°
each
side
of
center.
Moving
the
airplane
by
hand
is
most
easily
accomplished
by
attaching
a
towbar
to
the
nose
gear
strut.
If
a
towbar
is
not
available,
or
pushing
is
required, use
the
wing
struts
as
push
points.
Do
not
use
the
vertical
or
horizontal
surfaces
to
move
the
airplane.
If
the
airplane
is
to
be
towed
by
vehicle,
never
turn
the
nosewheel
more
than
29°
either
side
of
center
or
structural
damage
to
the
nose
gear
could
result.
The
minimum
turning
radius
of
the
airplane,
using
differential
braking
and
nosewheel
steering
during
taxi,
is
approximately
27
feet.
To
obtain
a
minimum
radius
turn
during
ground
handling,
the
airplane
may
be
rotated
around
either
main
landing
gear
by
pressing
down
on
a
tailcone
bulkhead
just
forward
of
the
horizontal
stabilizer
to
raise
the
nosewheel
off
the
ground.
Care
should
be
exercised
to
ensure
that
pressure
is
exerted
only
on
the
bulkhead
area
and
not
on
skin
between
the
bulkheads.
Pressing
down
on
the
horizontal
stabilizer
to
raise
the
nosewheel
off
the
ground
is
not
recommended.
