The instrument panel (see figure 7-2) is designed around the basic "T" configuration. The gyros are located immediately in front of the pilot, and arranged vertically. The airspeed indicator and altimeter are located to the left and right of the gyros, respectively. The remaining flight instruments are located around the basic "T". The fuel pressure gage, clock, fuel quantity indicators, ammeter, oil pressure gage, oil temperature gage, cylinder head temperature gage and low-voltage warning light are located to the left of the flight instruments. Avionics equipment is stacked approximately on the centerline of the panel, with the right side of the panel containing the suction gage, economy mixture indicator (EGT), flight hour recorder, and space for additional instruments and avionics equipment. A switch and control panel, at the lower edge of the instrument panel, contains most of the controls, switches, and circuit breakers necessary to operate the airplane. The left side of the panel contains the auxiliary fuel pump switch, engine primer, master switch, ignition switch, general circuit breakers, electrical switches, landing gear indicator lights and landing gear lever. The center area contains the static pressure alternate source valve, and the carburetor heat, light intensity, throttle, propeller, and mixture controls. The right side of the switch and control panel contains the wing flap switch and position indicator, cabin heat and cabin air controls, cigar lighter, and map compartment. A pedestal extending from the switch and control panel to the floorboard, contains the elevator and rudder trim control wheels, cowl flap control lever, and microphone bracket. The fuel selector valve handle is located at the base of the pedestal. A parking brake handle is mounted below the switch and control panel in front of the pilot. The avionics power switch and avionics circuit breakers are mounted on a small circuit breaker panel located adjacent to the pilot on the left cabin sidewall.

For details concerning the instruments, switches, circuit breakers, and controls on this panel, refer in this section to the description of the systems to which these items are related.
