REFLECTOR: Parking Brake

[Douglas Holub]

I remember when I acquired that attitude. It was about 8 years into the project. When I would start thinking about improvements or added features I would say to myself, "What are the chances that this thing is ever going to actually fly? Why don't we see if we can get it in the air first, and then think about making it better."

  I have the Matco parking brake.

   

  I haven't installed it yet.

   

  I flipped the switch builder switch about a year ago from "That's what I want" to "Only if you need it to fly".

   

  It is sitting on the shelf.

   

  I can add it later.

   

  :)

  Andy, 

   

  Did you pick the MATCO valve, or which?

    Attached a pic of my LED's.   The switch activates all for test.  The Yellows are now the doors.

    Don,

     

    I'm working on my panel as well.  This is what I have planned for my annunciator panel:

    Pilot Door Ajar (RED)

    Co-Plot Door Ajar (RED)

    Speed Brake Down (YELLOW)

    Fuel Pump On (GREEN)

    Pitot Heat On (GREEN)

    Alternator Out (RED)

    Starter Engaged (GREEN)

    Lower Gear (RED) (i.e. warning to lower gear)

     

    In addition to the visual warning, red warning indicators will be connected to an audio alert wired into an unswitched input on the audio panel.

    So I'm thinking about building an annunicator panel (with a "Push-to-Test" and dimmer). 

    Currently the list of indicators I have come up with is:

    Pilot Door Unsafe - RED
    CoPilot Door Unsafe - RED
    Low Voltage - RED
    Low Oil Press - RED
    Nose Gear Down - GREEN
    Left Main Down - GREEN
    Right Main Down - GREEN
    Fuel Pump On - AMBER
    Hydraulic Pump On - AMBER
    Pitot Heat - AMBER

    I'm going to have a pair of GRT displays so I'm thinking the low voltage, low oil press would be provided by their engine monitoring and would be unnecessary on an annunicator.

    What else would be good to have on an annunicator panel? Landing, nav and strobe lights?
