DESCR. & OPERATION
Flight instruments are standard and arranged around the basic “T”
configuration. Those are the airspeed indicator (top left), the attitude
indicator (top), the altimeter (top right), the turn coordinator (lower
left), the directional gyro (center below) and the vertical speed
indicator (lower right).
Theinstrument panel of the SA 160 is shown in Fig.7-4.
For an easy and quick reference, the instruments and controls are clearly
dividedinthreesections:leftcentreandrightsections
Theleftsectioniscomprised of a group of six flight instruments located in
