above the throttle quadrant. (figure 7-15). The circuit breaker panel is located
on the lower right side of the instrument panel (figure 7-19). Each breaker is
clearly marked to show which circuit it protects. Also, circuit provisions are
made to handle the addition of communications and navigational equipment.

Circuit provisions are made to handle the addition of communications and
navigational equipment.
