 Construction continues on our upgrade to the 767-400 flight deck.

 

These pictures show the FMC/CDU that I designed and am building. In the first picture you can see how I cut the bread board and added the micro switches. In order to get the switches to align perfectly I printed a copy of the CDU onto a overhead transparency. I then placed the transparency image over the board and marked where the switches needed to be placed. Once the switches were in place, 69 pair of wire were soldered to the switches enabling it to be connected to the encoder. Eventually, this will drive Enrico's PFD CDU software within FS2000.
