Saitek Pro Flight Multi Panel for PC

Take control of your cockpit with the Saitek Pro Flight Multi Panel for PC — a compact, authentic autopilot LED display designed to enhance every flight simulation experience. This dedicated panel plugs into your PC and provides tactile, real-world controls for core autopilot and flight management functions, letting you manage altitude, heading, speed, and vertical speed without losing sight of your screen. Ideal for pilots who want a more immersive, hands-on approach to flying in software like FSX, Prepar3D, and X-Plane, the Pro Flight Multi Panel streamlines routine tasks and reduces reliance on onscreen menus. Its integrated altitude dial enables rapid, precise altitude selection, while clearly labeled buttons mirror real cockpit workflows, helping you stay focused on the flight rather than chasing the cursor.

• Autopilot LED display with vivid, easy-to-read digits provides at-a-glance flight data for quick situational awareness during climbs, descents, and approaches.
• Integrated altitude selection dial allows fast, precise altitude entry so you can set cruise levels or transition altitudes without fumbling through onscreen menus.
• Dedicated controls for AP, HDG, NAV, ALT/VS and other common autopilot modes give you an authentic flight deck experience that mirrors real-world cockpit procedures.
• USB-powered, plug-and-play compatibility with the Saitek Yoke System and other flight controls offers a seamless upgrade path for existing sim rigs.
• Rugged construction with tactile switches and a compact footprint ensures durability and comfort during long simulation sessions, while preserving valuable desk space.
