arranged vertically. The airspeed indicator and altimeter are located to the
left and right of the gyros, respectively. The remainder of the flight
instruments are located around the basic "Too. Avionics equipment is
stacked approximately on the centerline of the panel, with the right side of
the panel containing the manifold pressure gage, low-voltage warning
light, tachometer, map compartment, and space for additional instruments
and avionics equipment. The engine instrument cluster and fuel quantity
indicators are on the right side of the avionics stack near the top of the
panel. A switch and control panel, at the lower edge of the instrument
panel, contains most of the switches, controls, and circuit breakers
necessary to operate the airplane. The left side of the panel contains the
master switch, engine primer, ignition switch, avionics power switch,
light intensity controls, electrical switches, and circuit breakers. The
center area contains the carburetor heat control, throttle, propeller con-
trol, and mixture control. The right side of the panel contains the wing flap
switch and position indicator, cabin heat, cabin air, and defroster control
knobs and the cigar lighter. A pedestal, extending from the switch and
control panel to the floorboard, contains the elevator and rudder trim
control wheels, cowl flap control lever, and microphone bracket. The fuel
selector valve handle is located at the base of the pedestal. A parking brake
handle is mounted below the switch and control panel, in front of the pilot.
A static pressure alternate source valve control knob may also be installed
below the switch and control panel adjacer.i.t to the parking brake handle.
For details concerning the instruments, switches, circuit breakers, and
controls on this panel, refer in this section to the description of the systems
to which these items are related.
GROUND CONTROL
Effective ground control while taxiing is accomplished through nose
wheel steering by using the rudder pedals; left rudder pedal to steer left and
right rudder pedal to steer right.

Moving the airplane by hand is most easily accomplished by attaching
a tow bar to the nose gear strut.
If
a tow bar 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 nose wheel more than 29° either side of center or
structural damage to the nose gear could result.
