This is the instructor station. The two large knobs at
the top center of the image are used
to control the interior lighting and the lighting for
the rows of switches.
The panel directly below that is used to set the Runway
Visual Range (RWR) and cloud ceilings.
A wider angle shot of the flight deck. The telephone
mounted on the left wall is a direct line to the tech office.
It's used to call a tech to fix a problem while a crew
is using the simulator. It was installed after the door to the
simulator was torn off while the crew was flying with
the motion base on. The same crew did this *twice* in
two separate incidents. I wasn't a witness to either
one - as evidenced by my lack of prison time. [I would've beat them to
death with the door for damaging the simulator. The techs are VERY
protective of these simulators as keeping them up and running is practically
a labor of love.]
While this looks the same as the above image, I've included
it because it illustrates the shape of the center
console. Very important when building one for your
own simulator!
