CONTROL LOCKS
SECTION 7
AIRPLANE
&
SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
A control lock is provided to lock the ailerons and elevator control
surfaces in a neutral position and prevent damage to these systems by
wind buffeting while the airplane is parked. The lock consists of a shaped
steel rod with a red metal flag attached to it. The flag is labeled CONTROL
LOCK, REMOVE BEFORE STARTING ENGINE. To install the control
lock,
align the hole on the right side of the pilot's control wheel shaft with
the hole in the right side of the shaft collar on the instrument panel and
insert the rod into the aligned holes. Proper installation of the lock will
place the red flag over the ignition switch. In areas where high or gusty
winds occur, a control surface lock should be installed over the vertical
stabilizer and rudder. The control lock and any other type of locking device
should be removed prior to starting the engine.
ENGINE
The airplane is powered by a horizontally-opposed, six-cylinder,
overhead-valve,
turbocharged,
air-cooled, fuel injection engine with a wet
sump oil system. The engine is a Continental Model TSIO-520-R and is
rated at 310 horsepower at 2700 RPM and 36.5 inches of manifold pressure
for five minutes, and at 285 horsepower at 2600 RPM and 35 inches of
manifold pressure continuous. Major accessories include a propeller
governor on the front of the engine and dual magnetos, starter, belt-driven
alternator, and full flow oil filter on the rear of the engine. Other major
accessories include a turbocharger, connected to the induction air and
exhaust systems, and associated components. Provisions are also made
for a vacuum pump.
ENGINE CONTROLS
Engine manifold pressure is controlled by a throttle located on the
lower center portion of the instrument panel. The throttle operates in a
conventional manner; in the full forward position, the throttle is open, and
in the full aft position, it is closed. A friction lock, which is around knurled
disk, is located at the base of the throttle and is operated by rotating the
lock clockwise to increase friction or counterclockwise to decrease it. The
throttle linkage is designed to mechanically actuate a microswitch electri-
cally connected to the landing gear warning system. The switch will cause
,,-,
a warning tone to sound anytime the throttle is retarded with the landing
gear retracted, with less than approximately 15 inches of manifold pres-
sure.
The mixture control, mounted above the right corner of the control
pedestal, is a red knob with raised points around the circumference and is
7-19
