Cockpit Annunciators and LED Indicators are a great addition to any Flight Simulator. Not only do they make the experience more realistic, but they can also be used as a training tool. Annunciators are used mostly for warnings, emergencies, but to also show the status of a certain system on the Aircraft. Custom LEDs, such […]

Having Flight Simulators and Home Cockpits with Back Lighting is definitely a game changer. Back Lighting adds another level of comfort, and it makes it easier to locate specific labels or instruments.

One of the most unique arrangements where Aviation inter-weaved (literally) with Golf, was at the old Punta Aguila Airport in La Romana, Dominican Republic. If you were lucky to have experienced this in the mid to late 90s, after teeing off, a guard opened a small gate, which allowed you to cross the main runway, […]

Every flight to me is a humbling experience. It makes me wonder. It helps me be creative. When you see so much, it helps you appreciate everything you have, and the Planet you have it on. It also inspires me to continue creating things to help others. During a training session in an Embraer Phenom […]

When working on your Flight Simulator, if building something similar to a real airplane, you will notice that not all of the instruments are side by side or even close by. If using one large monitor to load your instrument or gauge cluster this is perfect, but sometimes we have to split the instruments between […]
