L-1011 General Aircraft Characteristics: Center Instrument Panel and Console (25-23)

The center instrument panel contains engine performance instruments, the landing gear control, a flap position indicator, the Pilot's Caution and Warning Panel, as well as standby flight instruments.

The extensive use of remote sensors and air data computers on the L-1011 permit use of servoed instruments. Servoed instruments exhibit considerable improvement in accuracy and legibility due in part to the use of digital readouts.

The center console is designed to provide all three crew members with access to any of the controls.
