Flight
Controls
The
flight controls have been designed to fit into
the simulator base with a 7inch drop below the
cockpit floor. The controls are made with a push
rod dual linked system. Static control loading
has been set exactly to what is specified by
Boeing for the 737 control loading. The controls
look and feel like the real aircraft with a
positive centre detent and static force through
the control range for both the rudders and
control wheels.
The
system has been designed so that the base has
service hatches to enable access to the flight
controls during routine maintenance.

The
trim system drives the throttle quadrant trim

The control system has also been fitted with AP
lock-out to meet AP engagement criteria when in
flight for the 737.
