7.6.3 ANNUNCIATOR PANEL
An Annunciator Panel (10) displaying Warning and Caution
indications is located near the center of the instrument console
between the primary and secondary instrument clusters. It is
designed to provide simple visual indications of aircraft conditions
that require corrective pilot action.
The upper row indications are Warning Lights, which illuminate in
red to draw pilot attention to take action on critical safety of flight
issues. The bottom row indications are Caution Lights, which
illuminate in amber to draw pilot attention to aircraft system status
or failures that may warrant action.
At the right side of the panel is a ‘TEST’ button. To verify that all
LEDs are functional while the button is pressed, all annunciators
should illuminate until the button is released.
For detailed meaning of, and response to, the annunciator lights, see
Emergency Procedures.
7.6.4 FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge is accurate to within one gallon in coordinated,
straight and level, unaccelerated flight. The low fuel indicator,
operated by a separate sensor, illuminates when there are
approximately two gallons remaining.
7.7 AVIONICS
The A5 aircraft is equipped with a Trig TY91 VHF communication
radio, a Trig TT21 Mode S transponder, and an ACK E-04 406 MHz
emergency locator transmitter (ELT).
The VHF radio, supplied by Trig Avionics, allows two-way
communication and the monitoring of two frequencies at the same
time. The TY91 VHF remote transceiver is installed remotely inside
the left-hand side of the nose of the aircraft and is controlled
through a TC90 controller unit, located in the center stack console,
