3. ENGINE CONTROLS
Engine power is controlled by a push pull throttle control lever, operating both carburettors
simultaneously. A choke is provided for starting a cold engine. The twin-magneto ignition
system is controlled by the key operated switch.
The electrical bus system is activated by the Master switch and needs to be
ON
for the
magneto key switch to be operable.
An Electric fuel pump supplies fuel pressure prior to the engine starting and running and is
used as back up for the engine driven fuel pump in case of failure.
3.1 ENGINE INDICATIONS
The rpm indicator indicates engine speed (RPM). This is an electronic unit.
The cylinder head temperature (CHT) indicator shows engine temperature.
The oil pressure indicator indicates oil pressure.
A separate indicator indicates the oil temperature. An Exhaust Gas Temperature system
(EGT) is also installed.
The fuel pressure indicator indicates fuel pressure with the engine pump and/or aux electric
fuel pump in use. This fuel pressure indicator is a mechanical unit.
A standard sealed accumulating hours-meter (Hobbs meter), counts the total time the
ignition key is switched on. An optional air switch may be fitted that accumulates time on an
air switch clock when the aircraft attains a speed greater than 30 knots. The air switch time
can be used for purposes of airframe and engine maintenance.
4. SEAT BELTS AND SEAT ADJUSTMENTS
Pilot and passenger seats are made from a chromemoly steel frame with padded sponge
seat cushions. The seats can be easily removed to enable inspection of the controls below
the seat. Each seat can be adjusted fwd and aft as well as the recline position to suit pilot
and passenger’s size.
WARNING: Never try to change seat adjustment in flight!
Each seat is equipped with safety belts, which are locked together with a bayonet quick
release latching system. The safety belts are attached to the main structure and each can be
adjusted for occupant comfort. Belts should be replaced if frayed, cut, stitching is broken or
latching defective.
5. COCKPIT ENTRY AND PILOT ETIQUETE
Entry into cockpit is achieved by entering rear end first. By placing your bottom on the lower
door sill you are now able to hoist yourself into the cabin seat. Once seated swing one leg at
a time over the control stick so that both feet now reach the pedals.
DO NOT
Step onto the
wheel fairing in an attempt to hoist your body into the cabin as doing so may damage the
wheel fairing. See pic 1and 2 below.
