Eagle Pilot Section Panels

Text and console art by Marcus Lindroos

Side Panels: Port

Another Time, Another Place

From Another Time, Another Place. This configuration is in place until early Year 2 episodes, when some panels move around. The top right panel will get a "laser" button in War Games and some further detailing in Year 2 episodes.

Ring Around The Moon

A rare, good view of the top two rows of the port side panel. These switches are used less frequently than those on the main flight console. In Space Warp and probably in Guardian of Piri too, Koenig accesses these panels to plot the coordinates home.

The Testament Of Arkadia

The top central panel has three columns, numbered 1,2,3, with "ON" marked on top, and the central switches marked "ST", "GH" and "DE".

Black Sun Behind The Scenes

Breakaway Black Sun Alpha Child Guardian Of Piri

The small fire extinguisher and side panels behind the left seat are never used (and are inaccessible to the pilot), so these switches may contain pre/post-launch subsystems only.

The Mark Of Archanon The Mark Of Archanon

The panels in the fourth row close to the floor are never shown except for this closeup shot from The Mark of Archanon. Note that the topmost panels have been rearranged. The "Manual" and "Remote" flight control buttons are Year 2 additions. In War Games, Alan Carter pushes the large yellow button between the "AU" and "M" buttons to turn off the cabin lights,

Black Sun

The port side panel closest to the main console is longer than the others. In this scene from Black Sun, Mike Ryan pushes the first three button to switch on his sensors.

War Games

In War Games, the laser button is moved to this panel. Note status lights at upper left. In the reverse shot of Alan, he's reaching forward to the front console, about where the screen is, with his right hand. But this panel is actually on his left, awkwardly above the console, and his left hand comes from the right (as if he was on top of the console).

The Seance Spectre The Seance Spectre The Seance Spectre

In The Seance Spectre, a new panel appears in the top row, a plain panel labelled "Emergency Repair". This is handy, as when the Eagle crashes, Koenig can pull out a can of sealant.
