HOME COCKPIT from DIY to OEM
My pedestal came without throttle transducers and it’s usually like that. Therefore I was thinking what could be the easiest way to interface throttle and finally found a solution. I noticed that the TCU has an accessible mechanical-detent axis which I could use. I
Some time I get lucky and find these rare parts like this old type ECAM panel. It looks terribly worn out but that brings the price down which is good. First I started with refurbishment by removing what was left of
I wanted Transponder/TCAS panel interfaced but again it was one of the ARINC bus panels that I can’t interface as they come! I guess you know what method followed… Got this panel in AR condition so it felt bad gutting

For some time now I have been wondering if I am skilled enough to start building some sort of a motion platform for a flight simulator. Since I’ve experienced full motion 6DOF simulator I have developed sort of subconscious desire to
Radio management panel or shorter RMP is one of those panels with their own electronics meaning it uses ARINC bus to communicate. Making it work directly is basically beyond my current knowledge. I was thinking if maybe Arduino controller board
I wanted to see how the front windscreen columns fits the glare and for that I also wanted to position and test fit the overhead rack frame. I made provisional wooden beam support and used middle and back frame hanging points
With original parts and panels you will come to a question of power as these parts also need “original” power. With A320 there are mainly three power figures 5VAC, 28VDC and 115VAC 400Hz going in and out of transformers. Korry
Pedestals and throttles are rarely available as they are usually sold together with shell. I was lucky to have the pedestal but unfortunately it was without throttles. I was after original throttle for quite some time knowing they would be
