SECTION 7
AIRPLANE
&
SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
Windshield defrost air is supplied by a duct from the
ca
bin manifold to
an outlet on top of the antiglare
shield; t
herefore,
the temperature of
t
he
defrosting air is the same as heated cabin
air. A
push-pull type control
knob, labeled
DEFROST,
regulates the volume of air to the windshield.
Pulling out on the knob increases defroster air flow
.
Additional cabin air is supplied by two fully adjustable ventilators
mounted in the forward and aft overhead
consol
es,
a
nd one ventilator in
each console located above the rear side
windows.
Each ventilator outlet
can be adjusted in any desired direction by moving the entire outlet to
direct the airflow up or down, and by moving a tab, protruding from the
center of the outlet,
l
eft or right
t
o obtain left or r ight airflow. The outlets
may be closed off
completely,
o
r partially closed according to the amount
of airflow
desired,
by rotating an
adjustment
wheel adjacent to the outlet.
OXYGEN SYSTEM
The
a
irplane is equipped with a partial oxygen system which consists
of the outlets, pressure
gage,
a filler valve
,
associated
plumbing,
and an
,
~
on-off control. If the airplane is equipped with
a compl
ete oxygen system,
refer to Section 9, Supplements, for complete details and operating
instructions.

PITOT-STATIC SYSTEM AND INSTRUMENTS
The pitot-static system supplies ram air pressure to the airspeed
indicator and static pressure to the airspeed indicator, rate-of-climb
indicator and altimeter. The system is composed of a pi tot tube
mount
ed on
the lower surface of the left
wing,
two external static
ports,
one on each side
of the fuselage below the rear corners of the aft side windows, and the
associated plumbing necessary to connect the instruments to the sources.
The airplane may also be equipped with a pitot heat system. The
system consists of a heating element in the pitot
tube,
a rocker-type switch
labeled PITOT HEAT on the lower left side of the instrument panel, a 10-
amp circuit breaker on the left sidewall circuit breaker
panel,
and
associated wiring. When the pitot heat switch is turned on, the element in
the pitot tube is heated electrically to maintain proper operation in
possible icing
conditions.
Pitot heat should be used only as required.
A static pressure alternate source valve i
s
installed on the left side of
the lower instrument panel and can be used if the external static source is
malfunctioning. This valve supplies static pressure from inside the cabin
instead of the external static
ports.
