Where are the EFIS Control Panels?

• A. Overhead panel
• B. Glareshield
• C. Pedestal
• D. Center Console

Answer: (B)

EFIS Control Panels are the quick-access controls for the Electronic Flight Instrument System displays, letting you set the display mode, range, weather radar, terrain options, and brightness. They’re placed on the glareshield—the panel right above the main instrument panel—so you can reach them and glance at the displays without looking down or shifting your attention away from flight path and hands-on controls. The overhead panel is for systems like electrical and hydraulics, the pedestal and center console house throttle, flight controls, and radios, not the EFIS displays. So, the EFIS controls belong on the glareshield.
