L-1011 - CPT Installation at the Museum - Pre-Installation

L-1011 Cockpit Layout

The L-1011 has a very spacious and open cockpit. As a matter of fact, the cockpit dimensions and the large windows are what many L-1011 pilots to the day remember about it the best. Here are the elements of the cockpit as they are labeled in the image above:

1. Captain's Seat
2. First Officer's Seat
3. Flight Engineer's Seat
4. First Observer's Seat
5. Second Observer's Seat
6. Pilots' Center Console
7. Flight Engineer's Console
8. Ruder Pedal Assembly
9. Forward Electronics Compartment Access
10. Flight Crew Oxygen Supply
11. Stowage for Jackets
12. Stowage for Hats and Coats

Yes, the L-1011 cockpit is massive. The trainer that we are installing at the museum however, does not implement the entire cockpit but only the elements that we need to make it a full simulation experience. In the image below you can see the outline of the simulator room (red) and the simulator platform  (yellow).

Here are the elements that the trainer at the museum will implement. You see that some of the observer stations are gone because they are not really relevant to what we are trying to do, and secondly because we would simply not have the space to do so:

1. Captain's Seat
2. First Officer's Seat
3. Flight Engineer's Seat

The forward section of the simulator room will receive a curved projection wall that will allow outside scenery to be projected at a 110º viewing angle.
