Below that the circular gages indicate engine manifold pressure and engine revolutions per minute (RPM) gage respectively . Note the Garmin Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) 300 receiver directly below the radio switch panel. Its moving map display allows for much better display of map and other routing information for a single pilot than previously.<br \/>\nThe main flight instruments are not shown in this picture.<br \/>\nTo the left of the altimeter there is the attitude indicator that the pilot uses to control aircraft pitch. Below the attitude indicator there is a turn and bank indicator used to control bank. Below the transponder there is the throttle, propeller pitch, and mixture controls that are used to control power.
