FLIGHT FACTOR B767

HONEYCOMB ALPHA & BRAVO PROFILES

(Optimized for the Advanced Avionics / Flat Panel Display)
By 767Driver V1.0
INTRO

While this is my first time programming a set of flight controls, I have tried to do so with as much relatable experience as
a 767 and 757 pilot.
My purpose for this set of configurations, was to enable the user to have a more practical experience of utilizing
switches / controls that are commonly and most frequently used when operating the 767 (and 757).
I have listed the assignments, including their DATAREF references. The values are not included – but you can dig deeper
using the honeycomb configurator software to see how I’ve set it up.

Credits go to: Heinz Flichtbeil and HighFlyer525 for laying out some great ground work and tutorials for getting this thing
started.

HIGHLIGHTS

Magneto Switch
I have elected to utilize the “magneto/start selector” as an EFIS Range selector dial. While the autobrake selector is also
a fine choice (and may be the way to go if you do not have the flat panel installation) – I personally find that the
autobrake selector is a one-time use kind of thing. There-fore I wanted to use it for alternating selected map range, as
we constantly do while flying.

Avionics Bus Switches

I have utilized these for the startup and shutdown of the APU. This allows for an instant startup if required in-flight, as-
per an engine out scenario, when your focus is likely more on maintaining control of the aircraft vs trying to find the APU
rotary switch (of course – this is single pilot flying in a multi-crew airplane 😊)

Flight Director Switches

The toggle switches on the Bravo Quadrant will operate these FLT DIR switches on BOTH the captain and FO side as-per
the assignments. It is important to have access to BOTH of these switches, as the resetting of both may be required if
needing to disconnect autopilot and reset Flight Director mode / indications.

AutoThrottle ARM Switch

Also assigned to Bravo toggle switch.
Necessary to have access to this if needing to manually over-ride the thrust levers as-per engine out scenario.

2. Seat Position (X-Plane config)

3. AP Disconnect (X-plane config)

4. Default View (X-Plane config)

6+8. Pitch Trim UP (X-Plane config)

5+7. Pitch Trim DOWN (X-Plane config)

1. AutoThrottle Disconnect SWITCH

(1-sim/AP/atDisconButton)

2. Circle View (X-plane config)

3+5. Rudder Trim Left (X-plane config)

4+6. Rudder Trim Right (X-plane config)

LEFT EFIS Panel RANGE selector
(1-sim/ng/rangeL/anim)

1. 5 nm
2. 10nm
3. 20nm
4. 40nm
5. 80nm

*NOTE: Depicted ranges work when sim loads by default. IF EFIS range selector has been manually changed with mouse
/ etc- then the accuracy of these default ranges will deteriorate.

I chose these defaults as we typically only zoom in / out to focus as getting closer to a particular FIX or for monitoring
approach accuracy.

Momentary range disagree message will show up on NAV screen as this conflicts with F/O panel selection. It will
disappear eventually.
FUEL CONTROL SWITCHES
(1-sim/fuel/fuelCutOff) left / right)
as applicable

1. L Fuel Control Switch – ON

2. L Fuel Control Switch – OFF

3. R Fuel Control Switch – ON

4. R Fuel Control Switch – OFF

APU
(1-sim/engine/APU/StartSelector)

5. APU Start Selector – ON

6. APU Start Selector – OFF
7. APU Start Selector – START

8. Unassigned

*APU Startup functions as the starter rotary switch normally would. Therefore, turn ON (button 5) and then START
(button 7) For 3 seconds. Then START switch OFF (position 8).
While Position 8 has no official assignment – the release of position 7 will revert to the APU to maintaining it’s ON status
until selected OFF.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Exterior light switches were programmed in reverse order from what would typically be the standard on most setups.
This is to simulate the actual switching motion experienced on the airplane itself, where “ON” position requires
PUSHING the lights on and OFF requires PULLING the light switches back.

9. L Rwy Turnoff Light – OFF

10. L Rwy Turnoff Light – ON
11. R Rwy Turnoff Light – OFF
12. R Rwy Turnoff Light – ON

15. R Landing Light – OFF

BRAVO

All Axis are the standard / default programmed, or as carried forward from Highflyer525’s 757 profile.

REVERSE LEVERS operate Engine Reversers in the IDLE detent.

Once the REV has fully deployed (indicated green REV on EICAS) – then FORWARD thrust lever movement will modulate
reverse power accordingly while reverse levers remain deployed.

*NOTE SPEEDBRAKE auto-deploys with reverse operation and will require recycling of Speed Brake Lever in order to
stow once on the ground (if not already manually activated)

TRIM WHEEL has been DEACTIVATED.

Inadvertent movement of this wheel can de-activate autopilot and therefore has been disabled.
Pitch trim can be accomplished with the yoke trim buttons, as is the case on the airplane itself. There is afterall, no trim
wheel on the 757/767.

BUTTONS 1-6. Have no effect

BUTTON 16. TOGA mode activation.

(1-sim/AP/togaButton)
MCP Buttons / Rotaries are
programmed as-per this AMAZING
Tutorial – with some variation in the
arrangement of the modes.

The mode arrangement was to keep nomenclature closer to button names themselves. While this arrangement isn’t
perfect (order of LEDs when mode activated) – they function accordingly on the FMA (which is really where pilots are
supposed to look to verify selected modes anyway. ;o)

MCP
1. HDG Select Switch
2. LNAV mode
3. APPROACH mode (automatically arms & activates 3 autopilots)
4. VNAV

7. SPEED switch (not speed
Intervene mode as used optionally in VNAV)
