PAP 3 (Boeing 737 MCP)
Boeing 737 home-cockpit builders who want a realistic MCP glareshield panel.
The PAP 3 is WinWing's Boeing-style autopilot panel, a 1:1 replica of the 737 Mode Control Panel that sits in the glareshield. It carries the airspeed, heading and altitude rotaries (the heading knob has an outer bank-limit ring from 10 to 30 degrees), the full bank of mode buttons, dual-color backlighting, a light sensor and an authentic disconnect bar. It connects over a single USB cable and matches the real unit's dimensions. Reviewers call it virtually indistinguishable from the aircraft part and a fraction of the $900-plus legacy MCPs. A magnetic-switch add-on and bundle are sold separately.
This is one of the cleaner buys in its lane if the price and platform fit your setup.
