Temp fitting of temp panel. As you can see the engine instruments are now back on their original 8-pack config, but some had to swap places as there's not enough room for the really deep ones at the top. It's coming together, but slower than I'd hoped for as always.
Another head scratch is the lower panel where we've moved the pressurization control. There are three warning lights there. One is obviously the the MAX AIR that has replaced the CABIN S-C OIL PRESS (whatever the hell that was). This makes sense because when the plane was upgraded to the bleed air system with the Century engines, the hydraulic system was no longer relevant. The third warning light is when the cabin gets above 10000ft. All good, standard stuff.
But the middle one is the strange one, HYD TEMP. Must have been some sort of warning for over-temping of the fluid. But now with that system, gone, this doesn't seem relevant, unless it's a general temp warning for the 5606 system. But then, why would it be grouped with the pressurization stuff, when the 5606 system has nothing to do with that? Also, it seems like the word TEMP was placarded before, as you can see a little glue residue over the text on the panel. Was it placarded INOP maybe? Who knows? But it seems like this light is redundant and should be removed. Anyone got any insight?
