Building a highly accurate custom flight simulator panel often necessitates touchscreen solutions like Air Manager for instrument replication, as pre-built hardware options may not achieve identical configurations.
Runway numbering conventions vary; while U.S. ATC and runway markings omit leading zeros (e.g., RWY 2), they are commonly used in NOTAMs and U.S. Terminal Procedures, and are standard in many ICAO countries.
The FAA continues to rely on ILS for Category II/III approaches as it is the only currently approved system, despite GPS augmentation systems showing potential, as they have not yet met full approval or accuracy requirements for these advanced operations.
Your article on simulators probably saved me $20k for a BATD that is nothing like the panel on my aircraft. I’m looking into building my own with an identical panel. But I barely know anything. Was hoping you might kindly point a noob in the right direction. Many thanks,
