AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
the panel containing the manifold pressure/fuel flow indicator, tachome-
ter, map compartment, and space for additional instruments and avionics
equipment. The engine instrument cluster, and suction gage 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 and controls necessary to operate the airplane. The left side of
the panel contains the master switch, auxiliary fuel pump switch, ignition
switch, light intensity controls, electrical switches, landing gear lever and
indicator lights, and static pressure alternate source valve control knob.
The center area contains the throttle, propeller control, and mixture
control. The right side of the panel contains the wing flap switch lever and
indicator, cabin heat control knob, cabin air control knob, defroster control
knob, auxiliary cabin air control knob and the cigar lighter. A pedestal,
extending from the edge of the switch and control panel to the floorboard,
contains the elevator and rudder trim control wheels, cowl flap control
lever, engine primer and microphone bracket. The fuel selector valve
handle is located at the base of the pedestal with the fuel quantity
indicators immediately forward of the handle. A parking brake handle is
mounted under the switch and control panel in front of the pilot. All circuit
breakers for general electrical equipment and avionics are mounted in a
circuit breaker panel located on the left cabin sidewall adjacent to the
pilot's seat.
For details concerning the instruments, switches, circuit breakers, and
controls on this panel, and the circuit breaker 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. When a rudder pedal is depressed, a
spring-loaded steering bungee (which is connected to the nose gear and to
the rudder bars) will turn the nose wheel through an arc of approximately
14.5° each side of center. By applying either left or right brake, the degree of
turn may be increased up to 35° each side of center.
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 main landing gear struts as push points. Do not use the
vertical or horizontal tail surfaces to move the airplane. If the airplane is
to be towed by vehicle, never turn the nose wheel more than 35° either side
of center or structural damage to the nose gear could result.
