This overall view of the left side of cockpit allow to distinguish:
|
|
The metallic pipes and cylinder could be part of the pneumatic system. Probably the cylinder is a pressure reductor/filter/dehumidifier for compressed air. A black compressed air bottle should be on the left side, behind the seat.
|
|
The indicators could be two manometers, one for bottle pressure, the other one for pipes pressure. | |
The throttle panel. The silver lever on the right control the magnet for engine ignition : it is on 0 to stop the engine, and 1+2 on normal flight. |
|
upper lever with black handle: throttle back position: closed gas; forward position: full gas lower lever with white handle: altimetric corrector high altitude- ground altitude- max speed |
|
The light grey crank is for water cooler outlet flap command. The position of the flap can be controlled on the indicator close to the red handles. The trim wheel on the left could control the trim fence on the left wing aileron. The footstep door is visible on the wall; it should be closed by a tissue bag to prevent mud access to the fuselage. |
