Instrument Panel
The instrument panel is of all metal construction and is installed in sections
so equipment can be easily removed for maintenance. The surrounding
glareshield is made of composite material and projects over the instrument
panel to reduce reflections on the windshield from lighted equipment and
to shield the panel equipment from glare.
Pilot Panel Arrangement
Two color landscape-oriented electronic flight displays are installed to the
instrument panel: the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and the Multifunction
Display (MFD). The PFD, installed directly in front of the pilot, is intended
to be the primary display of flight parameter information (attitude,
airspeed, heading, and altitude). The MFD, installed to the right of the PFD,
provides supplemental situational and navigation information to the pilot.
The ignition switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel. The
cabin environmental control switches are located on the right side of the
instrument panel. Instrument panel air vents are located on the outboard
sections of the panel.
Center Console Arrangement
A center console contains the Flight Management System Keyboard, auto-
pilot and audio controls, flap system control and indication, fuel selector
valve, and the power and mixture levers. System circuit breakers, the alter-
nate static source valve, and the ELT panel switch are located on the left side
of the console. A friction knob for adjusting throttle and mixture control
feel and position stability is located on the right side of the console. The
accessory outlet, map compartment, audio jacks, hour meters, and emer-
gency egress hammer are installed inside the console armrest.
Bolster Panel Arrangement
A switch panel located in the “dash board” bolster below the instrument
panel contains the master, avionics power, Pitot heat, and exterior and inte-
rior lighting switches and controls. The standby airspeed, attitude, and
altimeter instruments are located below the bolster switch panel.
