IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES: The current code of the GNS430 device is such that unfortunately it does NOT set the frequencies for the NAV1 radio so you still have do set the frequencies manually into the Bendix Radio set. Flaps are set with a lever at the bottom center in the Archer III aircraft. If you don't want to use a key or joystick button to use it, note that there is a VC camera for it. Elevator trim is available at the same VC camera Elevator trim also is available near the rudder trim located at the right side on the front panel. Fuel Tank selector is located at the left hand side of the Pilot seat. Parking Brake is located below the RPM (Tachometer) gauge. Engines can be started with the VC control on the Overhead.
