Different instrument panel layouts are available. The basic instrumentation arrangements include:
▪ GPS Layout
▪ EFIS Layout
▪ Night VFR
The panel layout "GPS" includes all relevant instruments arranged in a way to accept most off-the-shelf
moving map navigation devices in the respective format. Alternatively, the area in the centre of the panel
may be used to install a map holder or attach checklists and/or maps.
Some handheld GPS units and antennas emit magnetic fields that vary with respect to time and/or levels
of battery charge. These may change the compass deviations, so always cross check between the
compass headings with the GPS installed and placard accordingly if required.
All EFIS layouts are tailored to the integrated flight and navigation suite of the respective manufacturer.
In addition to navigational and moving map functions, the system provides primary flight data and
engine/vehicle monitoring. It is of utmost importance to read and understand the operators' manual and
to become familiar with the system before operation. In case of a system failure, altimeter and air speed
indicator are provided as back-up.
Depending on the chosen instrumentation and optional equipment, the depicted panels on the following
pages may vary.
The cockpit panel detail layouts may vary from those shown.
Each panel has an additional 'Battery Backup' switch, covered by a red flip-up cover. This
is mounted adjacent to the lower switches of the circuit breaker panel on the right side, for
emergency use in the event of a full alternator failure.
Where fitted, a blue push-pull knob is provided for the propeller control.
