#airplane #cessna #aviation
Giving all of you a quick tour of all of the instruments inside a Cessna 172, and briefly talking about what they are. Do you fly with a glass cockpit or with a 6 pack?

That was a Turn Coordinator by the way, it is not the same as a Slip and Skid indicator, those are two different instruments.

What he didn't mention:
Engine Instruments:
Chronometer/OAT/Voltmeter - LCD Display left of ASI,
Fuel Flow and EGT - dual analog display left of turn co-ordinator,
Fuel Quantity Indicators - Not Shown, left of previous,
Suction Pressure and Ammeter - not shown, below Fuel Flow & EGT,
Oil Temperature and Pressure - not shown, left of previous.

Below:
Mageto Selector - key switch left of Master Switch
Master Switch - red double switch. Controls entire electrical system.
Fuel Pump, Lights, and Pitot Heat - toggle switches between Master and Avionics.
Avionics Switch - White Double Switch. Controls incidental electronics.

Right of 6-pack:
ILS/LPV/VOR1 Indicator - cross-shaped indicator right of altimeter.
VOR2 Indicator - Backup VOR Indicator, or used to determine airway intersection under IFR.
PA Control and OMI beacons - top panel of radio system. Controls the volume of passenger mics and outdated marker beacon technology.
GPS - Self Explanatory, large screen.
Primary/Secondary Radios - self explatory. Below the GPS.
Transponder - below both radios, used to determine location of ATC Radar.

Centre Pedestal:
Interior Lights - the 2 twist knobs left of the Throttle. Used for night flying.
Alternate Static Source - Red know between and below throttle and mixture. Used in case of static source blockage/failure.
Fuel Shutoff Valve - Self Explanatory, just above fuel selector.
Cabin Air/Heat - pull knobs below co-pilot yoke. Environment control.

I think that pretty much covers it.

Why does it sound like you're talking through a mask?

[beck]

Way too complex. I usually just keep a guitar in mine.

[AirplaneModeIsOn]

[HoundDogMech]

It's a TURN COORDINATOR not Slip 'n' Slide it says it right on it. Now what did U call the Artificial Horizon? Not professional when U don't even know the proper names of the basic instruments, Bro.
