| L-1011 Trainer - Glare Shield - Autopilot |
The L-1011 trainer that we got from Delta did not come with any real instrumentation. All of the instruments you have been seeing as part of the blog postings are instruments we replaced with real flight hardware used on actual L-1011s. Today, we replaced the last photo mock up on the simulator ... the glare shield autopilot and radio components. In the image below you can see the image that was pasted onto a plate and mounted in place of the autopilot under the glare shield. This has now been replaced with a custom made plate and with the actual control components:

After
The glare shield is not only home to the autopilot components, but also holds the VHF NAV 1 and VHF NAV 2 radio as well as the RADIO/NAV selector for the HSIs, a ENGINE 2 warning light and a FIRE warning light.

Looks good ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It really does add quite a lot to the final system. The plate was laser cut and that makes it very precise.
