# Overview - Cockpit

1. **Overhead Panel:** [Overhead Panel](/miltech-simulations-ch47d/aircraft-and-systems/overview-cockpit/overhead-panel.md)
2. **Main Instrument Panel:** [Main Instrument Panel](/miltech-simulations-ch47d/aircraft-and-systems/overview-cockpit/main-instrument-panel.md)
3. **Center Console:** [Center Console](/miltech-simulations-ch47d/aircraft-and-systems/overview-cockpit/center-console.md)
4. **Cyclic:** It allows the pilot to tilt the rotor discs. By tilting the rotor discs, the pilot directs the helicopter's thrust, enabling forward, backward, lateral, and combined movement.
5. **Collective:** It controls the overall pitch angle of all the main rotor blades simultaneously. Increasing the collective pitch increases the lift generated by the rotor system, causing the helicopter to rise.
6. **Directional Pedals:** These pedals control the yaw (rotation around the vertical axis) of the helicopter. Pressing the left pedal increases the pitch of the aft rotor blades and reduces pitch on the forward rotor blades. Conversely, pressing the right pedal increases pitch on the forward rotor blades and decreases it on the aft rotor blades. This differential adjustment of blade pitch controls the torque balance and allows the pilot to turn the helicopter left or right.&#x20;
7. **Electronic Flight Bag:** [Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)](/miltech-simulations-ch47d/aircraft-and-systems/electronic-flight-bag-efb.md)
8. **Coilot Side Emergency Cockpit Door:** These doors are emergency use only,  and therefore once jettisoned they cannot be closed unless you restart the flight.&#x20;
9. **Pilot Side Emergency Cockpit Door:**  These doors are emergency use only,  and therefore once jettisoned they cannot be closed unless you restart the flight.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.miltechsimulations.com/miltech-simulations-ch47d/aircraft-and-systems/overview-cockpit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
