1. Landing light on/off switches.
2. Taxilight on/off switch.
3. Wing inspect light switch (visible light not yet modeled).
4. Anticollision lights on/off switch.
5. Navlights on/off switch.
6. Landing light extension motor switches. These switches have three positions: extend, off and retract. The switch will automatically return to the "off" position once either extension or retraction has been completed.
7. Landing light extension indicator lights. These lights will illuminate whenever the landing lights are not in the retracted position. These lights only indicate the extension/retraction status, not whether the landing lights are turned on or off.
8. Starter push button. This button is used to start the starter motor. Once pressed, it will stay pressed until the engine has spooled up to 4500 RPM or 30 seconds have passed whichever comes first.
9. Starter Master switch. A three-position switch: start, safe and blowout. This switch should normally be in "safe" position. When starting engines, it's placed in the "start" position. "Blowout" is used to clear the engine from any unburned fuel. To perform a blowout, turn this switch into "blowout" position and press Starter Push Button. This will start the starter motor, but there will be no ignition.
10. Engine Select Switch. This switch is also normally in the "off" position. During engine start, it's used to select which engine is being started. Normally, No. 2 engine is started first.
11. Relight switches, one for each engine. If turned on, these switches will provide continuous ignition. This is indicated by the illumination of the two ignition lights above the switches.
12. Starter motor indicator lights. When lit, the starter motor is in operation.
13. Ignition indicator lights. When lit, ignition is in process.
