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 23.1311-1B provides one method (but not the only method) of complying with this
CFR. AC 23.1311-1B 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 MVP-
50T 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-
1B 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).
J. An Installation Checklist is provided to assist the installation of the MVP system. It does not replace
the instructions located in this manual.
