Electrically driven


Motor on the right wing


Detents at 0, 10, 20, & 30 degrees

How our flaps work

They increase the lift and induced drag for any given AOA


-high energy air from the lower surface is ducted to the flaps upper surface


-this then delays the separation of air flow

Pitot static system

Pitot tube (left) provides RAM air to the airspeed indicator


Static port on the left of the fuselage provides static pressure to the airspeed indicator, vertical speed indicator, and altimeter


-electrically heated pitot tube


-alternate static source located under the instrument panel

Fuel system

56 total, 53 usable


Fuel flows by gravity to the fuel selector valve, into the fuel revisor tank, to the auxiliary fuel pump, past the fuel shutoff valve, through the fuel strainer, into the engine driven fuel pump, to the fuel/air control unit, into the fuel manifold distribution, and then is evenly distributed into the cylinders



13 total sumps


5 under each wing at the lowest points


1 on the fuel selector valve


1 on the fuel revisor tank


1 on the fuel strainer

Fuel ventilatikn

3 total vents



1 on each fuel filler cap



Check valve located under the left wing (connecting line from the right wing)

What happens if the air induction filter become blocked?

Suction created by the engine opens a door on the bottom of the engine cowling, and draws unfiltered air from inside the lower cowl area


**10% loss in power at full throttle

Environmental

Cabin heat:


Air is ducted through the exhaust shroud into the cabin controlled by the cabin heat knob



Cabin air:


By ventilators near the top corners of both the left and right corners of the windshield controlled by the cabin air knob

Stall warning system

Pneumatic type stall warning system



Inlet on the left leading edge:


-ducted to a horn near the top left of the windshield



As the aircraft approaches a stall...


-the lower pressure from the top of the wing shifts forward drawing air through the horn


-audible warning 5-10 knots above the stall speed

Required discrepancy of records or placecards

(FAA-H-8083-25)


FAA considers an approved MEL to be a STC issued by serial or registration number


--once issued the MEL becomes mandatory



Procedures (91.213d)


Pilot determines if inoperable equipment is required by type design, regulations, or ADs


--if still safe: inoperable equipment is removed or deactivated and places an INOPERATIVE place card near appropriate item
