PEDESTAL CONTROLS
Aircraft not embodying the Design Change 2006/66 “New Powerplant
control setting layout” or the SB 039-CS “P2006T New powerplant con-
trols layout” feature a different pedestal levers layout: propeller and
carb. heat levers position are inverted.
It is possible to adjust the throttle, propeller and carburettor heat levers friction by
appropriately tightening the friction knob located on the central console.
A similar device is provided for engine choke controls.
Carburettor heat control knobs are located between throttle and propellers levers;
when the knobs are fully pulled backwards, carburettors receive maximum hot air.
During normal operations, the knobs are fully forward set (carburettors heating set
to OFF).
The console houses also the parking brake and windshield defrost control knobs.
