PART I-DESCRIPTIVE
A voltmeter (21) is also mounted on the main instrument
panel to indicate the supply voltage.
(iii) A ground/flight switch (24) is mounted on the right of the
main instrument panel. When the switch is set to FLIGHT
the aircraft batteries supply all servuices; when it is
set to GROUND the aircraft batteries are disconnected,
and an external battery may be used to supply all services.
(iv) An external supply socket is mounted on the starboard
side of the fuselage at the rear of the canopy.
8. Pneumatic system
An engine driven compressor charges an air bottle for the
operation of the brakes and the flaps. The bottle pres-
sure is shown by the upper needle in the pneumatic sup-
ply and brake gauge (20), and normally this
should indicate 456 lb./sq. in. (maximum). If the bottle
pressure for any reason falls below 230 lb./sq. in. a valve
in the supply line cuts off the air supply to the flaps so as
to maintain the remaining pressure in the bottle for the
operation of the brakes.
9. Vacuum system
An engine-driven vacuum pump is provided for working
the gyro-operated instruments on the instrument flying
panel.
AIRCRAFT CONTROLS
10. Flying controls
The flying controls are conventional in operation, and
each pair of rudder pedals may be adjusted for reach by
rotating the appropriate starwheel (4). With the excep-
tion of the flaps control, all the controls are duplicated.
11. Flying controls locking gear
A locking gear linkage is provided for locking the flying
controls and when not in use it is stowed on the sloping
bulkhead behind the rear seat.
The control surface can also be locked externally by
clamps.
