2. Instrument Panel Description
Several pieces of aluminum alloy make the instrument panel. The panel has a vertical face with
instruments and a horizontal 'shelf' with electrical components. The shelf goes between the forward
bulkhead of the cockpit and the vertical face of the panel.
The DA 42 NG has an integrated cockpit system (ICS). The ICS has two large LCD display screens
which are located in the instrument panel. These two display screens can digitally display all of the
flight, navigation and airplane system data. An audio control panel is located between the display
screens. The audio control panel integrates with the ICS and is used to control all of the airplane radio
and navigation audio systems. Refer to Section 31-40 for more data about the ICS.
An airspeed indicator, artificial horizon, altimeter and magnetic compass are located along the top of
the instrument panel. Optional, if OÄM 42-270 is installed, the airspeed indicator, artifical horizon and
altimeter are combined in one unit named Standby Altitude Module. These instruments provides the
basic data required to fly the airplane in the event of a power failure and the loss of the ICS. The
artificial horizon or the standby attitude module can be powered from an emergency power pack. An
emergency switch is located near the artificial horizon or standby attitude module and has a guard
installed to prevent accidental selection.
Most circuit breakers for the electrical systems are located on the right side of the instrument panel.
The electrical system bus-bars are directly connected to the rear of the circuit-breakers.
Along the bottom of the instrument panel are the electrical, avionic and engine master switches. The
landing gear and flap control switches and fuel pump switches are also located along the bottom of
the instrument panel. The instrument panel and airplane light switches are located at the top-left of the
instrument panel.
The shelf part of the instrument panel holds relays, junction blocks, connectors and ground studs.
The instrument panel has a cover attached by screws.
Refer to Chapter 24 for more data about the electrical system and Chapter 22 for more data about the
autopilot system.
