Where are the TAIL SERVO and BACKUP HYD PUMP switches located?

• A. MISC SWITCH panel
• B. COCKPIT PANEL
• C. MAIN ELECTRICAL PANEL
• D. FUSE PANEL

Answer: (A)

The switches for the tail servo and the backup hydraulic pump are grouped on the MISC SWITCH panel because they are considered non-primary hydraulic/auxiliary functions. The tail servo relies on hydraulic power to assist yaw control, and the backup hydraulic pump provides pressure if the main pump fails. These systems aren’t part of the primary flight controls or the main electrical/fuse distribution, so their control switches are placed on the miscellaneous panel to keep essential flight controls and power systems uncluttered and to make access for abnormal or maintenance situations straightforward.
