is no longer immersed in fuel. This is around 5ltrs remaining.
Plan an expedited landing if lit

Low Volt
(red)
When lit indicates that the battery voltage has dropped below
11.8v, and that the load shedding relay has disconnected the
12v socket, strobes, and landing lamps. Placard on panel
advises operator to reduce electrical load, or make a
precautionary landing

when the engine bay fire warning cable melts. Solid red
indicates system fault. When flashing red make immediate
precautionary landing
37
Canopy

Lights when the canopy lever is unlocked. Goes out when
locked. Function is from a reed switch mounted under the
locked canopy latch, operated by a magnet bonded into the

Fan
(amber)
When lit warns the pilot that the electrical engine cooling fan is
running. Normally it runs for an occasional short time only, or
when the engine is not getting enough cooling air. This uses up
to 8Amps, so constant running indicates poor cooling and
excess electrical energy usage.
WARNING! GPS options.
The GPS units supplied with the aircraft require regular updating of the map displays and
potentially, the software included. It is the operators responsibility to ensure the equipment
is correctly updated prior to flight, and to understand that the GPS system is NOT a
primary navigational aid. The GPS system has not been approved to any airworthiness
standard!
