Landing Light Overhead Panel

2023

This overhead panel from my 737 flight simulator cockpit carries the exterior lighting and engine start controls. I laid out the panel face as a laser cut vector first, then cut and painted the grey plate with engraved labels for runway turnoff, taxi, APU, engine start, and the position, anti collision, wing, and wheel well lights. The round holes take the switches and rotary selectors that I wired up on the back side to drive Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
