AIRPLANE AND SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
GARMIN G300
U.S.
INTRODUCTION
This section provides description and operation of the airplane and its
systems. Some equipment described herein is optional and may not be
installed in the airplane. Refer to Section 10, Supplements, for details
of other optional systems and equipment.
AIRFRAME
The airplane is an all metal, two-place, high wing, single-engine
airplane equipped with tricycle landing gear and is designed for sport
flying and introductory training purposes.
The sheet metal fuselage bulkhead, stringer, and skin semi-
monocoque construction provide safe and comfortable environment for
pilot, passenger, and baggage. Forward pivoting seats allow access to
the baggage area. Wing struts and main landing gear legs attach to an
I-beam structure under the baggage area behind the seats. Nose gear
and engine mount assembly attach to the firewall separating the cabin
from engine compartment.
The aft fuselage empennage (tail assembly) consists of horizontal and
vertical stabilizers, the rudder, a left elevator, and a right elevator with
elevator trim tab. Attaching on either side the fuselage above the cabin,
the wing contains fuel tanks at the wing root between the forward and
aft spars. Aft of the rear wing spar are mounted the flaps (inboard) and
ailerons (outboard). In addition to the fuselage carry-through spars, the
wing is attached by forward-spar-to-fuselage struts. The wing,
empennage, and flight control surfaces are also made of sheet metal
spars, ribs, and skin semi-monocoque construction with balance
weights incorporated into the rudder, elevators, and ailerons.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
The airplane's flight control system consists of conventional aileron,
rudder, and elevator control surfaces manually operated through a
cable system. An elevator trim tab is located on the right elevator. Trim
tab operation is by direct linkage to a elevator mounted electric servo
motor controlled by a control stick mounted trim switch. Elevator trim
tab position is displayed on the Engine Indicating System area of the
G300 display.
