tion location without obstructing the operation of any controls. CFR 23.1321(a) states,
“Each flight, navigation, and powerplant instrument for use by any required pilot during takeoff,
initial climb, final approach, and landing must be located so that any pilot seated at the controls can
monitor the airplane’s flight path and these instruments with minimum head and eye movement.”
AC 23.1311 provides one method (but not the only method) of complying with this CFR. AC
23.1311 recommends a powerplant instrument be installed within a distance of 21" from the pilot’s
visual centerline to the middle of the instrument. The pilot’s visual centerline is a perpendicular line
from the pilot’s eye to the instrument panel. In most aircraft, installing the CGR-30P to the right of
the Radio Stack would be acceptable. In some aircraft, the visual centerline falls to the right of the
Attitude Indicator.

If the powerplant instrument cannot be installed within 8" of the pilot’s visual centerline, AC 23.1311
recommends Master Caution and Warning Lights be installed. Installation of Master Caution and
Warning Lights is covered in this manual.

H. If this instrument is to replace an existing gauge in the aircraft, it is the installer’s responsibility to

move or replace any existing instruments or components in accordance with FAA approved methods
and procedures (see AC 43.13).

I. An Installation Checklist is provided to assist the installation of the CGR system. It does not replace

the instructions located in this manual.
