Tips

• Use the Refresh button at the top of each column to reload the latest saved presets from the system.

• Panel State presets (left) and Lighting presets (right) are saved and loaded independently - you can mix and match flight deck and cabin lighting setups as needed. Just load the Panel State first, then the Lighting Preset.

• You can save up to 10 presets per category, giving you plenty of room to create setups for different times of day, flight phases, or personal preference.

• Consider creating dedicated presets for Day, Dusk, and Night operations to quickly adapt your cockpit lighting to changing conditions without manually adjusting each light source every flight.
