CONTROLS
4. The control of a gas turbine engine generally requires the use of only one control lever and the monitoring of certain indicators located on the pilot's instrument panel (fig. 12-1). Operation of the control (throttle/power) lever selects a thrust level which is then maintained automatically by the fuel system (Part 10).
5. On engines fitted with afterburning, single lever control is maintained, although a further fuel system is required to supply and control the fuel to the after burner (Part 16).
