The airplane uses standard flight instruments arranged in the “basic-six” pattern. The airspeed indicator,
attitude gyro, altimeter, turn coordinator, horizontal situation indicator (HSI), and vertical speed indicator
are mounted in the instrument panel. A switch panel located in the bolster panel below the flight instru-

alternator switches.
A center console contains the avionics, flap control and position lights, power lever and mixture controls,
fuel system indicator and controls, and audio controls. System circuit breakers, the alternate static source
valve, alternate induction air control, and ELT panel switch are located on the left side of the console for
easy access by the pilot. The parking brake actuation knob is mounted below the flight instruments on the
