• All controls on the overhead panel can be reached by
either pilot.

padding :
- Forward zone for :
- Most frequently used functions,
- System controls, arranged in three main rows :
- center row for engine-related systems, arranged in a
logical way.

maintenance panel corresponding to some maintenance
controls.
