7.19 STALL WARNING SYSTEM
The stall warning system causes a loud buzzing sound at least 5 kts before the stall is
reached in all flap settings.
As the aircraft approaches a stalled condition, a switch on the wing leading edge is
activated due to a change in airflow as the angle-of-attack increases. The switch
generates a loud buzzing sound as long as this condition is maintained.
NOTE
The stall warning system (a small metal plate on the leading edge) is delicate and must
be handled with care.
7.20 AVIONICS
Depending on the installed optional avionic equipment, a NAV/COM transceiver, a
transponder or a multi-functional display may be located in the centre section of the
instrument panel. Detailed information on the operation of this equipment and
descriptions of their systems are provided in the POH Supplements in Section 9.
The COM transmitter is activated by a push-to-talk button, integrated into each control
column. The microphone and headphone jacks are located in the rear section of the
centre pedestal between the seats.
Operating instructions for COM/NAV equipment are supplied in Section 9.
