General
The navigation system includes those items that provide position and direction data to the flight crew.
The system includes both ground dependent and independent position indicating systems.

i WAYPOINT/DME Selector
Used in conjunction with WAY PT on the data selector. Selecting 1 through 9 determines the
waypoints and DME stations for which data is to be inserted or displayed. Selecting 0 displays
either the coordinates of the original departure point inserted during alignment, or the coordinates
of the last manually inserted position update or course change data.
j FROM-TO Indicator
Indicates the flight leg for which navigation data is being computed. Automatically goes to “12”
when system is turned on and waypoint data has been inserted. When keys 7 and 9, or 3 and 9 are
pressed simultaneously (right mouse-click on each key to simulate simultaneous action), FROM
indicator goes blank and TO indicator flashes number of DME station currently loaded.
l DIM Control
Used to vary the intensity of the following
data displays: le� and right data indicators,
FROM/TO indicator. ALERT light, HOLD,
REMOTE. INSERT and WY PT CHG switches
p CLEAR Switch
Used to clear data indicators when erroneous

Position latitude displayed in le� data indicator; longitude in right data indicator.
WAY PT • Waypoint
Used with waypoint/DME selector and keyboard to insert and display waypoint and DME station
data. Latitude or altitude in le� data indicator; longitude or frequency in right data indicator. Also
used to display inertial present position (see HOLD switch).

c BAT Light
On - only if while operating on ba�ery power
the INS automatically shuts down due to
low ba�ery unit voltage. The INS operates Control Module 1 & MSU 1 Control Module 2 & MSU 2
on ba�ery for one 12 seconds period during
coarse levelling. If the ba�ery unit charge is
below the required minimum level during this
period, the INS shuts down and the BAT and SHIFT+8 SHIFT+9
WARN lights (red) are on.
WHERE IS WHAT? CDU 1 & 2 are located on the Forward Pedestal (SHIFT+6), CDU 3 on the
Lower Pedestal (SHIFT+7) and the MSUs are located on the Forward Leg of the Engineer’s station
(CTRL+SHIFT+1). For Concorde-X, we’ve merged CDU 1 with MSU 1, and CDU 2 with MSU 2 to
reduce workload for the one pilot flight deck. These merged popups are a Concorde-X simulation
feature. Rotating a MSU selector that is “attached” to CDU 1 or 2 will rotate the corresponding MSU
selector on the Forward Leg (and vice versa). That clear things up?

We have provided saved situation files to load directly from the FSX Flights > “Load..” menu. In addition,
we have created panel states that you can load from the Add-ons> FSLabs> Panel State menu. Consult
