Panel lighting

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I've just completed my first flight at night and can work out the lighting for the overhead panel, the MCP panel, the centre pedestal, the Captain and FO panel - but not the centre forward panel where the engine displays, backup instruments etc are.

 

Where are the switches for this panel? Everything else is lit except for this dark patch in the middle.

 

Thanks

Brett Williamson

Sure. In the pedestal just above the auto brakes there's a dual switch named "Panel". What you're interested in is the inner one, the black one.

Yeah I was looking for this last night.  I finally just put the flood up higher.  I even checked real docs on the plane but nothing differentiated between "flood" and "center instrutment panel".  Cool, thanks!

Ah thank you! In the dark cockpit last night I didn't realise that it was a dual switch.

 

You are a champion and I thank you!
