07 FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS
The flight instruments are duplicated for Captain and First Officer. The vacuum source is
derived from both engines into a common manifold, with non-return valves incorporated to
safeguard loss of suction should one pump fail. The instruments for each Pilot are listed as
follows:
CAPTAIN: FIRST OFFICER:
Altimeter
Air Speed Indicator*
Direction Indicator*
Artificial Horizon*
Turn and Slip indicator
Rate of Climb indicator
VOR indicator
ADF indicator
ILS indicator
Suction Gauge

08 VACUUM SYSTEM
Each engine has a rear-mounted vacuum pump.
Both suction lines feed into a common manifold so that under normal operation it is not
possible to determine if both pumps are operating.
To check the pumps individually it is necessary to start the engines in a different order
from time to time.
Operating pressure is 4.0 -5.0 inches vacuum

In general the aircraft is set up for IFR flight from the left hand seat. However not all the
controls can be easily operated by one pilot so that the minimum flight station crew is two
pilots. The weight of the aircraft also dictates two Pilots, as per JAA Rules.
