TM 55-1510-221-10
altimeter, and supplies altitude information to the
transponder.
2-84. VERTICAL VELOCITY INDICATORS.
Vertical velocity indicators are installed sepa-
rately on the pilot and copilot sides of the instru-
ment panel (fig. 2-29). They indicate the speed at
which the aircraft ascends or descends based on
changes in atmospheric pressure. The indicator is a
direct reading pressure instrument requiring no elec-
trical power for operation.
2-85. ACCELEROMETER.
The accelerometer, located on the instrument
panel registers and records positive and negative G
loads imposed on the aircraft. One hand moves in
the direction of the G load being applied while the
other two, one for positive G loads and one for neg-
ative G loads, follow the indicating pointer to its
maximum travel. The recording pointers remain at
the respective maximum travel positions of the Gs
being applied, providing a record of maximum G
loads encountered. Depressing the push-to-reset
knob at the lower left comer of the instrument
allows the recording pointers to return to the normal
position.
2-86. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE (OAT)
GAGE.
The outside air temperature gage, mounted out-
board of the pilots seat, (fig. 2-8), indicates the out-
side air temperature in degrees Celsius.
2-87. STANDBY MAGNETIC COMPASS.
W A R N I N G
Inaccurate indications on the standby
magnetic compass will occur while wind-
shield heat and/or air conditioning is
being used.
The standby magnetic compass is located below
the overhead fuel management panel and to the
right of the windshield divider. It may be used in
the event of failure of the compass system, or for
instrument cross check. Readings should be taken
only during level flight since errors may be intro-
duced by turning or acceleration. A compass correc-
tion chart indicating deviation is located on the
magnetic compass.
2-88. MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUMENTS.
a. Annunciator Panels. Three annunciator
panels are installed. One is a warning panel with red
fault identification lights, and the others are caution/
advisory panels with yellow and green identification
lights. The warning panel is mounted near the center
of the instrument panel below the glareshield (fig.
2-29) and one caution/advisory panel is located on
the center subpanel (fig. 2-6). The mission annuncia-
tor panel is located on the copilots sidewall. Some
normal flight operations involve indications from
the mission control panel (fig. 4-l). Illumination of
a red warning light signifies the existence of a haz-
ardous condition requiring immediate corrective
