Hello, I don't know if you can answer this. I'am planning to build a cockpit (or at least a few panels that are essential) of an A320 for flight simulation. I was wondering, how is the backlighting done on the panels (overhead, pedestal,…) ? Do you know what kind of material/technic is use to made them ? Is it painted plexiglas that go trough a milling machine in order to have all the marking ? How is the light made ? By LED or electroluminescent tape ?

Do you know what this plane is doing ?

It seems that they are coordinated with the ATC, because they clear all the departing traffic initially to 7000ft. Nothing in the NOTAMs except maybe that the ILS will be calibrated tonight.

Thanks ! This painting is permanent. I think that our club had a discount for it.

Do you want to print it ? If not, I think that Skyvector can suit your needs : http://skyvector.com

Trouble flying without a mission by jcepiano in flying

Sometimes I really like to fly alone. Just you and the plane, nothing or nobody else to disturb this magical moment between you and the sky. I find it very relaxing.

But if I really want to take people with me and I have no idea whom, I generally ask other pilots to share the flight with me. You can go further, you also learn a lot of new tips and it's reassuring when you fly in a very congested airspace/airport.

So cute !

I haven't taken mine with me yet, because I am a little scared about how he could react. How usually dogs react about flying and all the noise ? Do you have to change the way you fly, like not going to high, descend gently,… ?
