8-5-4

ALTIMETER

There are two altimeters installed: one on the pilot’s panel, the other on the central panel.

The altimeter’s scale is graduated from 0 to 1000 feet with increments of 20 feet. Altitude is
displayed by means of three pointers. A long pointer (hundreds of feet), a short pointer (thousands
of feet) and a triangle-tipped thin pointer (ten thousands of feet).

The left-hand window in the altimeter’s dial shows the air pressure in mbar, the right-hand window
shows the air pressure in in.Hg. The values in the windows can be adjusted by means of the rotary
switch in the instrument’s corner.

Figure 8.18: Altimeter

Three bugs can be set on the pilot’s altimeter. In order to activate the first one, put the “bug
selector switch” (see below) on “ALTI BUG 1”. Then turn the rotary switch marked “ROTATE”
until the bug is in the desired position. To activate the second bug, put the selector on “ALTI
BUG 2”, and so on.
