Fuel System
The fuel system consists of two fuel tanks inbuilt in wings with a total fuel capacity of up to 26,4 US
gal (2 x max.13,2 US gal). The piping connection is equipped with sediment bowl and a drain plug.
The fuel supply is assured by two independent circuits with back-up electrical pump. The fuel
pressure is monitored by fuel-pressure gauge. When the fuel indicator light is turned-on, the fuel
reserve is 2,6 US gal.

Instruments
The instrumental equipment consists of basic instruments for flight and engine control and
navigation. The static and dynamic pressure is taken from the Pitot tube installed at the bottom of
the left wing. Instruments layout on the dashboard is described on the picture in Art. 7.11.
If the aircraft is equipped with SSR transponder, this must be active during the flight. The installation
of SSR transponder must be provided by competent authorized person.
Basic transponder squawks: 2000 - controlled flight
7000 - uncontrolled flight
7500 - unlawful interference (hijack)
7600 - communication failure / radio contact loss
7700 - emergency
The transponder must be in “STAND-BY” mode when setting up the new squawk.

Controlling Elements
Foot-operated control
Pushing the left pedal when adequate speed, the aircraft turns left when moving on the ground or in
the air, and vice versa. Pedals can be adjustable in three positions (optional equipment).
Hand-operated control
By pulling the control stick towards the pilot, the nose lifts up (the angle of attack increases) and the
aircraft climbs. By pushing the control stick, the aircraft descends. By deflecting the control stick to
the left, the aircraft banks to the left, and vice versa.
Wing flaps – mechanical option
By pressing the securing pin on the flaps control lever, wing flaps are released and ready to actuate.
Pulling the lever upward, flaps are extending step by step to positions I, II, III, and vice versa.
Wing flaps – electric option
The flaps are actuated by linear potentiometer adjusting positions OFF, I, II, III. All flap positions are
indicated by indicator light.
Engine throttle
By moving the throttle lever forward, the engine power increases, and vice versa.
