Which is why Bristow moved the panel with the GOV switches to the other side of the centre console from the hydraulics panel. They also moved the TQ and Triple tacho gauges to the bottom right of the instrument panel - something weird to do with them being in the field of view during critical phases of flight, or something. Was entirely logical and based on experience, but made dealing with governor malfunctions in the (FSI) simulator interesting - couldn't find the damn gauges!
