Instrument panel orientation
Instrument panel orientation
(OP)
Can somebody steer me to the FAR (Part 23) that calls out instrument panel orientation to the aircraft major axes? Attitude/gyro instruments want to be oriented perpendicular to longitudinal axis but what about the basic panel??
Comments appreciated, Thanks JQCF1

I've seen designs showing the basic panel tilted back 5 degrees but I'd like the FAR ref if there is one.
Thanks again.
RE: Instrument panel orientation
as for tilting the panel , this is a human factor problem. plenty planes have vertical panels ... inclining sligtly, giving the pilot a truer view of the panel, sounds like a good idea.

RE: Instrument panel orientation
Thanks for the lead to MIL-STD-1333: It provided some help and leaves it open to the designer. I'll keep that doc.
And to Fieldteam.. The Mil Spec you mentioned (MIL-I-5997B)is now history and replaced by FED-STD 595 that I cannot access since I do not have a DOD account. Can you help with that doc?
Thanks, JQC
