INSTRUMENT PANEL

The instrument panel for the Sirius is arranged to suit the pilot‟s needs. The
specific instruments and/or the configuration in which they are arranged may vary
slightly from aircraft to aircraft. The magnetic compass is centered on top of the
glare shield forward of the utility tray.
Ten electrical system switches are located on the overhead panel above the
windshield. From left to right the first two are marked (IGN1, IGN2), the ignition
switches. Next is the (MAIN) main electrical system circuit breaker switch or
CBS, then the (INST) avionics/instrument CBS, then the (STRB) strobe light
CBS, then the (LAND) landing light CBS, then the (PTOT) pitot heat CBS, an
(XTRA) „extra or spare‟ CBS if unused, then the (CKLT) cockpit light CBS and
the unguarded (AUXP) auxiliary engine fuel pump CBS. The aux fuel pump will
always be located on the last right position and will be unguarded for immediate
access. All Sirius aircraft will have this aux pump switch arrangement.
Pilot side panel: Sirius flight instruments are arranged in the basic "T"
configuration on the pilot (left) side of the aircraft. Exceptions can include the
absence of a particular instrument or a variation in the order of the instruments at
customer request. Installed "round dial" flight instruments will be arranged in the
following configuration (starting from the pilot-side top left): airspeed indicator
(ASI), attitude indicator (ADI), altimeter (ALT). The second row from the left
contains, turn coordinator (TC), tachometer (TACH), and vertical speed indicator
(VSI). This panel will also have various placards and may also include a slip-skid
indicator and autopilot servo switch. The forward windshield defog lever is
located to the left of the pilot side panel
Multiple glass cockpit (EFIS and EMS) installations are common in lieu of the
above „round dial‟ setup. EFIS or EMS manuals will be provided as a part of the
aircraft documents. Please see the manufacturer‟s manuals for setup and
operation when they are installed.
