PILOT’S ALTIMETER VERTICAL SPEED INDICATORS

There is an
altimeter located
in the upper right
corner of the
left and the right
instrument panels.
The altimeter
converts static
pressure into a
visual indication
of aircraft altitude
above sea level.
Pointers on the
instrument dial indicate altitude in increments of 100. The vertical speed indicators depicts airplane rate of
1000, and 10,000 feet, with a range of -1 000 to climb or descent in feet per minute. The pointers are
135,000 feet. A barometric scale is incorporated in the actuated by atmospheric pressure changes resulting

unit also provides an altitude input to the GNS 430W.
The encoding altimeter incorporates an additional
barometric scale on the left of the dial calibrated in
millibars (mb). Each altimeter includes a low altitude
warning disc.

COPILOT’S ALTIMETER

The Outside Air Temperature Gage is located in

the upper left corner of the windshield and extends
up through the fuselage. The mechanical gage is
calibrated to provide outside air temperature in both
degrees Fahrenheit and Centigrade.

The copilot’s altimeter is essentially the same as the

pilot’s; however, it is not an encoding altimeter and
does not have the additional millibar setting window.

KNI-415 RADAR ALTIMETER
The KNl-415 Radar Altimeter Indicator is located in
the lower right corner of the left instrument panel. The
Radar Altimeter Indicator displays altitude indications
from -20 to +2000 feet. From -20 to 500 feet, the scale
is marked in 10-foot increments. From 500 to 2000 feet,
each mark represents 100 feet. A triangular Decision
Height bug is located on the outer portion of the altitude
scale. The bug position, which is controlled by the
knob located in the lower right corner of the indicator,
indicates the selected Decision Height when the aural

AIRSPEED WARNING
An airspeed pressure switch in the pilot’s pitot-static
system is used to actuate an airspeed warning horn in
the event excessive airspeed is inadvertently attained.
The horn is located behind the headliner in the area
above the pilot, and will sound when airspeed exceeds
VMo (175 KIAS). A warning signal may also be heard
in the pilot’s headset.

The Oxygen Duration Chart should be used in
determining the usable duration (in hours) of the
oxygen supply in your airplane. The following

duration from the chart.
1. Note the available oxygen pressure shown on
the pressure gage.
2. Locate this pressure on the scale on the left side
of the chart, then go across the chart horizontally to
the right until you intersect the line representing the
DOWLWXGHDWZKLFKWKHÀLJKWZLOOEHFRQGXFWHG$IWHU
intersecting the line, drop down vertically to the
bottom of the chart and read the duration in hours
given on the scale.
NOTE
Reliance on oxygen available below 200 PSI is not

not predictable.
WARNING
DO NOT PERMIT SMOKING WHEN
USING OXYGEN. OIL, GREASE,
SOAP, LIPSTICK, LIP BALM, AND OTHER FATTY
MATERIALS CONSTITUTE A SERIOUS FIRE
HAZARD WHEN IN CONTACT WITH OXYGEN. BE
SURE HANDS AND CLOTHING ARE OIL-FREE
BEFORE HANDLING OXYGEN EQUIPMENT.
PERFORMANCE
There is no change to the airplane performance when
oxygen equipment is installed.
