1. **Overhead Console**: refer to [Overhead Panel](/stratoware-miltech-simulations-bo105/aircraft-and-systems/cockpit-layout/overhead-panel.md).
2. **OAT Indicator**: Features one pointer, which indicates
   &#x20;on two scales with centigrade (°C) and Fahrenheit graduations (°F).&#x20;
3. **Power Control Levers**: Responsible for independent engine power control. 3 state levers: OFF, IDLE, and FLY. Refer to [Overhead Panel](/stratoware-miltech-simulations-bo105/aircraft-and-systems/cockpit-layout/overhead-panel.md) for more information.
4. **Standby Magnetic Compass**: Displays heading in degrees.
5. **Instrument Panel**: refer to [Instrument Panel](/stratoware-miltech-simulations-bo105/aircraft-and-systems/cockpit-layout/instrument-panel.md).
6. **Switch Panel**: refer to [Switch Panel](/stratoware-miltech-simulations-bo105/aircraft-and-systems/cockpit-layout/switch-panel.md).
7. **Center Console**: refer to [Center Console](/stratoware-miltech-simulations-bo105/aircraft-and-systems/cockpit-layout/center-console.md).
8. **Pilot Collective Lever**: Shared control used to adjust the pitch of all main rotor blades simultaneously, controlling vertical lift.
9. **Pilot Seat**
10. **Copilot Seat**

11. **Pilot's Cyclic Stick**: Primary flight control used to command pitch and roll by tilting the rotor disc. Controls forward, aft, and lateral movement of the aircraft.
12. **Pilot's Tail Rotor/Directional Pedals**: Control the pitch of the tail rotor blades to manage yaw (nose direction) and counteract main rotor torque.
13. **Direct Vision Window**
14. **Map Pocket**

15. **Rotorbrake**: Used to decelerate and stop the main rotor following engine shutdown, reducing blade rotation time.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.miltechsimulations.com/stratoware-miltech-simulations-bo105/aircraft-and-systems/cockpit-layout.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
