supplied to the engine ignition system.

generating electrical power.

pressed on Autopilot Mode Control panel.

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 15° each side of center. By applying either left or
right brake, the degree of turn may be increased up to 51.5°.
Moving the airplane by hand is most easily accomplished by attaching
a tow bar (stowed in aft cargo compartment) to the nose gear fork axle
holes. If a tow bar is not available, or pushing is required, use the wing
struts as push points. Do not use the propeller blades or spinner to
push or pull the airplane. If the airplane is to be towed by vehicle, never
turn the nose wheel beyond the steering limit marks either side of
center. If excess force is exerted beyond the turning limit, a red over-
travel indicator block (frangible stop) will fracture and the block,
attached to a cable, will fall into view alongside the nose strut. This
should be checked routinely during preflight inspection to prevent
operation with a damaged nose gear.
The minimum turning radius of the airplane, using differential braking
and nose wheel steering during taxi, is as shown in the Minimum
Turning Radius figure.
