LOWER PANEL

The Lower Panel is just an extension of the main panel. It allows for a full view of the Lower EICAS Display. The features of the lower EICAS display are described in the Main Panel section. You will also find the Landing Gear Lights and Autobrake control here. The landing gear lights are blank when the gear is up and locked. During gear extendtion and retraction an unlocked symbol will be displayed. When the gear are down and locked, there will be a green down arrow displayed. The Autobrake can be adjusted with the Dec (decrease) and Inc (increase) buttons. The setting of the autobrake is displayed at the bottom of the Lower Eicas display.

You will also find here the the two radio panels. These have been placed here to aid in ease of flight. The radios are actually on the pedestal, however with the pedestal displayed, the Autopilot is covered. The functions of the radios will be explained in the Pedestal Section.

Note: The pics used here are from the A330, however the functions are the same.
