Cockpit Side
OXYGEN MASK
FLOW INDICATOR
A bright yellow star when visible indicates that oxygen is flowing.
TEST/RESET BUTTON (SPRING LOADED)
Pressing this button with the mask stowed tests the oxygen mask and activates the microphone. The flow indicator star momentarily blinks and oxygen flow will be audible through audio system.
Pressing this button with the mask not stowed and the mask box door closed shuts off the oxygen flow, turns off mask’s microphone and returns the communication from the cockpit speakers to the headsets.
OXY ON FLAG
This flag appears whenever oxygen is supplied to the mask.
STEERING HANDWHEEL
Nosewheel steering is a custom physics model (hydraulic torque, scrub, speed fade). Authority depends on the EFB setting Nosewheel Steering via Tiller Axis (EFB Settings).
STEERING HANDLE
Rotating the handwheel commands tiller steering when Nosewheel Steering via Tiller Axis is on. Bind a tiller / tiller axis to the aircraft steering handle.
Push-down to engage / release for pedal-only mode is not simulated as a discrete lock. The tiller-in-use indication follows tiller axis movement.
NOSEWHEEL STEERING
NWS is active with nose weight-on-wheels and hydraulic pressure on system 1 (backup system 3).
EFB Nosewheel Steering via Tiller Axis
Behaviour
Off (default)
Rudder pedals steer through a reduced “taxi tiller” path (~35° E170/E175, ~32° E190/E195), with stronger centering near idle stick.
On
Pedals command about ±7°. The tiller has full authority (~75° E170/E175, ~64° E190/E195) at 0 kt and fades to zero by about 60 kt.
Rate also reduces with groundspeed. Pedal input is compensated so MSFS rudder coupling does not double-steer.
STEERING DISCONNECT SWITCH ON GROUND SERVICE PANEL
STEER OFF EICAS will be present during the after start checklist (CA pushed down tiller) if the steering disconnect switch on the ground service panel is not in the down and guarded position.
