Pilot's Panel

Pilot's "Six- Pack"

Pilot's Six Pack

  1. Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI).
  2. Directional Gyro: Press the knob to CAGE the instrument, and then rotate the knob, to match wet compass.
  3. Artificial Horizon: Press the big knob to cage the instrument. Use the small knob to adjust miniature wings position. The aircraft on the ground sits at an 11o up attitude.
  4. Altimeter: If you get barometric pressure in hPa, there is a placarded conversion table at the bottom of pilot's side panel. You can click it to pop out.
  5. Turn and Slip Indicator.
  6. Airspeed Indicator: In MPH. Vne = 205 MPH.

Pilot's Navigation Instruments

Pilot's Nav Instruments

  1. VOR 1 DME.
  2. VOR 2 DME: Bearing indications in the copilot's RMI.
  3. Marker Beacons: From left to right, Outer, Middle, and Inner markers. By rotating them, you can adjust their brightness.
  4. RMI: The pilot's side RMI has 2 needles.
    • The #1, green, needle shows the bearing to the ADF 1 tuned station.
    • The #2, white, needle shows the bearing to the VOR 1 tuned station.
  5. Glideslope Course Indicator(GCI): Simulates the Weston Type 3Y2 CGI. Receives only ILS (LOC and GS) signals, if the VOR 1 radio is tuned into an ILS frequency.

Pilot's Side Other Instruments

Pilot's Side Other Instruments

  1. Clock: Shows local time. You can use the lower knob to change the time, and the upper knob to change it fast. A bit of... magic, right?
  2. Radar Altimeter: Shows the aircraft's altitude above the ground. Has 2 scales. The first one is from 0 to 500 ft, and the second from 0 to 5000 ft. Use the knob to toggle between the two. When the instrument is in the second scale, a set of 0 will appear to display the correct altitudes.
  3. FLAPS: Indicates the position of the wing flaps.
  4. Slaved Gyro Magnetic Compass: Indicates aircraft's magnetic heading, without compass errors.
  5. Airspeed Indicator: Backup airspeed indicator in knots.
  6. Baro Table: Conversion table between inHg and hPa. Click it to get a pop out window.
