2.15 NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS
2.15.1 COMPASS
(Item 1)
A standard magnetic compass is installed on the upper right hand section of the instrument panel.
2.16 CONTROL INSTRUMENTS
2.16.1 ROTOR REVOLUTION COUNTER rpm.
(Item 2)
The rotor revolution counter is placed above the FLYDAT instrument, on the left side of the instrument panel.
The rotor's r.p.m. is read through a LCD display. This value is monitored by a magnetic sensor positioned
close to the notched gear of the rotor head.
If the rotor brake is engaged (red light ON) the rotor revolution counter will turn off. This rotor tachometer
setting is meant to help pilot avoiding taking off with the rotor brake engaged.
2 . 16.2 FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR
(Item 3)
A fuel level indicator is positioned in the lower part of the instrument panel.
NOTE:
The fuel gauge fitted to the M16C reads
‘FULL’ when the content of the tank is over 55 litres.
For fuel levels above 55 litres the pilot should verify the tank contents by use of the markings
on the rear of the tank. Due to the tank's shape, the reading of the instrument is not linear.
