Features
737 Nose Sectional
Our Proprietary Modular Nose Section design has been a core part of our full FTDs for over a decade. Our nose sections are modular, allowing them to be set up in an average room, and be brought in through a normal sized door.
The PRO-M series Modular Nose section resolves all of the previous issues faced by “old technology” level of simulation and realism.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- All Metal Design (Aluminum)
- Developed from the Actual Aircraft modelled
- Easily shipped in a small and affordable carton
- Super accurate window shapes to create the perfect B737NG Setup
- Assembles in a few hours with basic tools
Proprietary B737 Throttle Quadrant
In keeping with the 100% tactile approach FDS takes with all of our devices, the 737 Throttle Quadrant becomes a critical element. Pilots are very “Hands On” with certain elements in the flightdeck and the TQ is certainly one of them.
The FDS-B737NG/MAX TQ was designed to deliver near perfect to the real aircraft and features fully motorized levers with ultra-smooth movement across the levers full range, motorized trim wheels with variable speeds and retractable handle, full scale IBL panel set and accurate flap detents and tactile feel in the flap lever.
An Ethernet Interface system allows for high speed communication to and from the various devices. This, coupled with our proprietary “Closed Loop” design, means we can deliver high levels of accuracy on the functionality side. As real as it gets and 100% tactile.
Our TQs are available in the MAX or NG configuration.
Pro-MX Level MCP and EFIS
FDS PRO-MX Series MCP/EFIS units are used solely in our high-level projects.

Real Aircraft Yokes and Columns
Tactile training means “hands on” for the pilots. While system training is critical, some hands on control flying helps push the curriculum well past standard IPT/Touch screen devices.
Flightdeck Solutions uses real aircraft yokes and columns coupled to proprietary static loading devices. Developing finely tuned muscle memory means having everything in its place. Precisely.
Higher level requirements can include optional control loading elements to even further enhance the variable forces experienced in the real aircraft.

- Real Aircraft Yokes (B737)
- Real Aircraft Columns
- Real Aircraft Stick Shakers
- Proprietary Mechanical Devices
- Adjustable Rudder Pedals
- Accurate Steering Tiller
