Where is the flaps control switch located?

• A. On the PCL quadrant in front or rear cockpit
• B. Only in the front cockpit PCL quadrant
• C. On the left instrument panel
• D. In the overhead panel

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that flap control is integrated into the Power Control Lever (PCL) quadrant, and in two-seat configurations that quadrant is accessible from both the front and rear cockpits. This arrangement lets either pilot adjust flaps without reaching to another panel, which is why the flaps switch is located on the PCL quadrant in both cockpits.

Choosing a location on the left instrument panel or the overhead panel would separate flap control from the throttle and make access awkward, while restricting it to just the front cockpit would deny the rear-seat pilot the ability to set flaps when needed.
