The center console is in a certain senses the main console of the F-16. It integrates the following
components:
- the center block with an own small glare-shield,
- the integrated control block (ICB) which holds the ICP and the HUD,
- the right and left front panels which hold the corresponding MFD,
- a glare-shield, which holds the eyebrow lights.
As far as everything is working fine in the cockpit, the pilot will concentrate on the
HUD,
MFDs and
ICP with
DED,
which are all located at the center console right in front of the pilot's head.

desired part. They are listed in alphabetical order.
Note:
All the dimensions marked with an "~" are either calculated with a grid of 9,54mm or estimated values due to
other parameters. Please contact me if you have exact values. All dimensions without the "~" are correct; the
measurements were taken from the original panel.
