ACCU-PRESS/BRAKE GAUGE

The ACCU PRESS gauge shows the Yellow accumulator pressure (top indication) and the Yellow hydraulic pressure

applied to the brakes (two lower indications). When brakes are applied the pressure increase will be shown here.

PARKING BRAKE

The parking brake is commanded with the PARK BRK handle. Verify the parking brake is on by checking the ACCU-

PRESS gauge. Normally the aircraft is not parked with the parking brakes applied, but with chocks to keep it in

place. However during icing conditions, refueling or with high winds parking brakes are used.

LIGHTING

COCKPIT LIGHTING

Compared to many other airliners the cockpit lighting is very simple and controlled by panels on the front console

and overhead panel.

 INSTRUMENTS and PANEL LIGHTS: ON / OFF (all instruments and panels are integrally lit)

 ANNUNCIATOR LT TEST BRT / TEST.

Switch to TEST to test the functionality of all annunciator lights. Switch back to BRT for standard

operation. DIM setting is ignored.

EXTERNAL LIGHTS

The external lights are controlled by switches on the overhead panel. Please note that some of the lights (most

noticeably landing lights) are not created using the standard FSX lights and do not react to the standard FSX light

commands.

1. BEACON: ON / OFF

2. NAVIGATION: ON / OFF

3. RWY TURN: ON / OFF

4. LANDING: ON (extended and

on)/OFF (extended and off) /

RETRACT

5. NOSE: T.O. (both lights on) /

TAXI (taxi light on) / OFF

6. STROBE: ON / AUTO (off when

gear on ground) / OFF
