Caption: Eclipse 500 panel, May 2002. New industrial design and other improvements to be introduced Spring and Summer of 2002.
Autopilot controls are top and center, above the MFD, and include speed settings for auto-throttles, as well as the usual 2D and 3D modes. The guarded annunciator/switches either side of the autopilot controls are engine fire detection and fuel shut-off.
Note backup attitude indicator, engine instruments, messages and checklists on MFD. The six circuit breakers below the lighting controls are the only physical CBs in the plane. The rest are all electronic CBs, controlled by the FMS.
