B737 IRS Switches

[sluyt050]

+1 for me. We are coming closer. Thanks for the instructive video's!

[archen]

Me too. The last one is my favorite. Maybe it's because it has so many detents :-)

I'm just waiting for the last report now.

Really like to two detent version (Norwegian) and I guess the detents don't really concern prosim as I know the irs switch already functions in all positions.


My personal preference would be the two detent switch ( more work for you!)


Nice videos.


Cheers

Sorry, just saw this thread, our fleet of over 100 Ng's use the same config as the Norwegian video shown on the previous page.

I heard back from my mate who flies Thomson (UK) NG's. The IRS switch on the a/c he flew yesterday works exactly like the Norwegian one.

I heard from my friend who is flying very new NG's that they also work like the last one.

Ok, so guys, here is what I'm going todo.

I've gathered information from real-world pilots, full flight simulators, users that have the real switches available and youtube realworld videos.
This research got me three different types of switches. And of course most of this information come directly from you guys so thanks for improving this switches.

1.   The first one from a -300 is option 1. Detented positions: NAV->ATT, ALIGN->OFF
B737 IRS MODE SELECTOR (OPTION 1)

2.   The second one is from an unknown airline, probably from an United -600. Detented positions: NAV->ATT, NAV->ALIGN
B737 IRS MODE SELECTOR (OPTION 2)

3.   The third version is confirmed on Norwegian B738, Thompson B738, TUIfly B738 (2010+). Detented positions: NAV->ATT, ATT->NAV, ALIGN->OFF.
B737 IRS MODE SELECTOR (OPTION 3)

A fourth version was also in discussion and is found in RYR FCOM but I have no proof that this version exists IRL and I have never seen a video with this type. This version is therefor disused for me.

I will initially offer all three versions at the same cost, these will be priced at SEK1490 for a pair of IRS switches.

I'm missing hardware to start assemly switches. The hardware is on backorder and is estimated 10th of february. I hope to get it sooner. As you guys know I'm beginning to study for my PPL very soon so if you wanna get a switch from the first batch I'll need your pre-order during January at latest to have a chance to make all parts in advance and then just assembly when I get the hardware. I'll ship pre-orders within 24hours after I receive the hardware.

If you prefer to pay prior to shipping select "invoice" as payment type. You will then receive an invoice when your order is ready to be shipped.

I would like to thank everyone participated in this thread. Without your feedback these would not be this good for sure so THANKS guys. Good discussions.

Just an headsup. Next week (1th of February) is the deadline of preorders. All preorders up until this date will be delivered in the middle of Feb (as soon as I receive the hardware which is on backorder).

I've now started my PPL study and it's great fun but also time consuming like I thought. When study allows I will make more switches but that could be a few weeks away from first delivery.

Other products that is out of stock is of course also 2-4 weeks lead time depending on workload on the studies.

Hello guys,
Some updates for all of you that are waiting for your orders to be shipped.

My supplier received the rotaryswitches yesterday and was sent to me this morning. They will arrive in the middle of next week so very soon (probably on Thursday) I'll be able to send all pre-orders.

Regards,
Anders

[andthiel]

That's good news, Anders!

I am looking forward to receiving mine...

Cheers,

Andreas

[archen]

All orders is now packed and labeled. Will be handed over to postal service tomorrow.

Thanks to anyone! Hope you will enjoy the switches.

One note to all which is not in the manual. When attaching the shaft. Adjust the shaft with the two grab screws. When installed correctly the switch shall operate very smooth.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best regards,
Anders

Cheers Anders.

I received the switches today and mounted them in my FDS panel. They are operating very smooth. Thanks Anders for this great product! 

[Sean]

Received mine yesterday, thanks Anders.

[Hippiepilot]

OFF-ALIGN-NAV-ATT is the correct order. The ALIGN mode in never used anymore due to higher precision demands today than when the IRS system was developed which has made a full alignment before every flight mandatory and that is only achieved by switching the knobs to OFF and then NAV again. The ATT position is only used in case of a malfunction, so disregard that one.
