If the electrical engine control system for an engine fails, youĬan click the button again to switch to an ALTN (alternate) electrical system. The 747's enginesĪre primarily controlled by electronic systems rather than hydraulic or pneumatic To open them and be sure to close the guard when you're done. These buttons also have guard covers, so right click if you need The ELEC ENG CONTROL switches allow the electrical system to operate theĮngines. Turn the ENGINE hydraulic pump selectors ON. Switch on AUTO and the electrical system will handle the distribution ofĮnsure that the Hydraulic DEMAND pump switches are set Onboard batteries, giving you about 30 minutes of power. Power from the best available power source. AUTO allows the electrical system to draw the When set to OFF, only a few systems willīe powered by the battery. The standby power switch tells the electronics system of the aircraft where it shouldĭraw it's electrical power from. The switch is rotated to the right by right clicking on it. It will give us basic power for over 30 minutes. The battery alone does not provide all the power you need to operate the aircraft. Times as it provides a backup power source to critical flight instruments. Let's leave the cover closed so weĭon't accidentally turn it off. If it is closed, you can right click to open it, then left click on the button

If the panel switcher is not visible, click on the centerĬonsole pillar below the compass to display it. We first want to get some power flowing to the basic cockpit systems. Usually while parkedĪt the gate, there would be some power already flowing and if the pilot thatįlew the plane before you is nice, he'd have left a light on for you.īut your plane's been parked for awhile and is totally powered down. You'll notice that the cockpit is totally powered down. This short flight from KLAX to KEDW and will direct all flight operations. Most magnificent passenger aircraft on the planet.
