34-10-02 Altimeter
The altimeter measures the pressure changes of the atmosphere to calculate the altitude.
The scale of the altimeter has marks in feet (ft) or in (m).
The knob on the bottom left side sets the barometric pressure value. The scale has marks in
millibars (mbar) or in inches mercury (in Hg)
Barometric adjustment: 946 thru 1050(mbar) or 28.1 thru 31.0(in Hg)
Calibrated range: -1,000 thru +20,000(ft)
To remove the altimeter:
1
Remove the front seat, refer to chapter 25-10-01.
2 Cut the cable strap and remove the hose.
3 Remove the attachment bolts and nuts.
4 Assemble the altimeter in the opposite sequence. Use a new cable strap to safety
the connection of the hose to the instrument adapter.
5 Do a check, refer to 14CFR Part 43 Appendix E or an equivalent.
34-10-03 Airspeed Indicator
The airspeed indicator measures the speed of the aircraft in relation to the atmosphere. The
instrument uses the pitot and static pressure to calculate the airspeed.
Maximum operating altitude: 12,000 m or 39,370 ft
Calibrated range: 3 0 thru 240 kts
34-20-00 DIRECTION
34-20-01 Magnetic Compass
The magnetic compass shows the direction of the aircraft in relation to the magnetic north.
Always do a calibration of the magnetic compass in these conditions:
 When you replaced the engine.
 When you replaced, changed or added parts of the electrical system.
 When you replaced, changed or added magnetic metals or parts.
For other maintenance procedures, refer to chapter 05.
You can do the magnetic compass compensation with the aircraft in a three-point attitude
(the tail is not lifted).
