MASTER SWITCH AND KEY PANEL
The master switch and key panel is located to the lower left of the
flight instrument cluster. It contains the key switch for selecting
between ‘A’ and ‘B’ and ‘BOTH’ on the engine electrical and control
systems as well as engaging the starter. The master switch is the
main electrical switch for the entire aircraft electrical system.

the master switch in flight, the engine will
continue to run.
