3.2.2.2 Controls at Instrument Panel
The following overview includes controls at the lower area of the instrument panel. These elements are
included in Fig. 3.2.a "Arrangement of Elements on Instrument panel" (see section 3.2.2.3):
1. Emergency Canopy Release
Red pull-handle on LH side of the switch panel. It is pulled for
emergency canopy jettisoning after opening the canopy locks on LH
and RH side of the canopy frame.
2. Cowl Flap Reduction
Black T-handle on LH side of the lower middle section of the instrument
panel to reduce engine cooling in cruise condition. The foremost
position means cowl flaps fully OPEN, 5 settings aft are available to
reduce the opening of the cowl flaps.
3. Propeller Dome Operation
Black handle in the middle foot of the instrument panel to open, close
and lock the propeller dome, linked to the engine electric master
switch. Unlock by lifting, lock by pushing down the handle. In the
forward position (Dome OPEN) the engine master switch comes ON
when the dome is LOCKED.
4. Propeller Brake
Black T-handle on RH side of the cowl flap reduction to brake the
propeller to full stop after the engine is switched off in flight. Braking is
by pulling the handle.
5. Propeller Positioning
Black T-handle on RH side of the propeller brake to position the
propeller so as it fits into the propeller dome contour. Operation is by
steady, not too fast pulling the handle to its stop.
6. Air Vents
Two adjustable air vents for cockpit ventilation, one on LH and one on
RH side of the Instrument panel, are provided.
7. Canopy Ventilation
Knob on RH side of the ignition/starter switch to ventilate the canopy.
The pulled position means canopy ventilation OPEN.
