Does anyone know where placards for the six cluster instrument ( left fuel, right fuel, amps, oil press, oil temp and cyl temp) can be acquired?


Thanks

You can get the exact verbiage and limiting numbers from the Maintenance Manual, and make them yourself/have them made to fit your panel.

I'm a bit confused here: My cluster does not have any placards. Each instrument has its function labeled as well as the scale and any limits (i.e. green arc, red line) inside the instrument itself.

This will work for all placards in the cockpit. I do have a placard saying something to the effect of at or below 15" MP, no prolonged running between 1950 and 2350 rpm. There's a lengthy one about operating as a normal category airplane complete with references to POH and G-load limits, one about not running strobes near other planes, and one up top by the panel rheostat that I can't find a legible photo of.


Got to have them all! Plus, of course, the one about the GPS being approved for non-precision approaches. [Never mind that they are much more accurate than the "precision" ILS approach . . . ]

Non-precision/precision approaches refer to vertical guidance not the accuracy of the lateral guidance. If your gps has WAAS you're shooting precision approaches when you do an LPV approach, otherwise it's a non-precision approach since it doesn't provide vertical guidance.

Thanks guys for the info. I was hoping someone already had done it and had a source. I have a good one for a template and will proceed with having them made. I'm going to have multiple sets made so if anyone else needs them, they'll be available in the near future.


 Thanks again,

     Before I bought the plane, my current partner just typed it all into Word, and set it for reverse printing [white text on black background], printed it off and glued it to the panel. Even managed to get "Mooney Ranger" looking good in fancy script, similar to the original placard. I think this was done when the 430 and intercom were installed, a while back now.


     Just make sure to get the correct verbiage and numbers, some of which may change from updated equipment installation.
