Resolve documentation conflicts before engraving legends or selecting rotary switches. Test Aerobask and FSReborn live behavior/readback for BUS TIE outer positions, XBLEED OFF/AUTO/manual-open support, and Fuel XFEED LO1/OFF/LO2 versus simplified OFF/ON event mappings.
Phenom Systems Panel
Phenom-specific switch panel for electrical, fuel, bleed/ECS, hydraulics, ice protection, fire protection, pressurization/cabin and related systems.
Create an exact evidence-based inventory for Electrical, Fuel, Hydraulics, Bleed/ECS, Pressurization, Ice Protection, Fire/Test, and useful Cabin/Signs/Misc controls. For every function, record the Phenom 300 implementation, Phenom 300E implementation, equal/different/absent status, and a physical implementation that can support both through broker profiles. Distinguish real-aircraft differences from Aerobask and FSReborn simulation limitations. Determine only after this comparison whether one or two removable physical panels are justified. Do not select dimensions, switches, I/O expanders or BOM yet.

2 itemsScope: controls relevant to a compact removable Phenom systems-panel assembly for Aerobask Phenom 300/X-Plane 12 and FSReborn Phenom 300E/MSFS 2024. Controls can be regrouped for a convincing multi-aircraft cockpit; their real-aircraft panel placement does not force the home-cockpit layout. ## Electrical and pneumatic | Control | Aerobask Phenom 300 | FSReborn Phenom 300E | Comparison | Universal physical implementation | |---|---|---|---|---| | BATT 1 / BATT 2 | Individual OFF / ON switches | Individual OFF / ON switches | Equal | Two maintained two-position switches | | GEN 1 / GEN 2 | Individual OFF / AUTO switches | Individual OFF / AUTO switches | Equal | Two maintained two-position switches | | GPU | Pushbutton | Externally bindable GPU control with available/connected state | Equal core function | Illuminated momentary/latching pushbutton; feedback mapping later | | BUS TIE | Three-position rotary: 1 OPEN / AUTO / 2 OPEN | Cockpit graphic appears equivalent, but Annex A describes OFF / AUTO / OVRD | Documentation/mapping conflict | Three-position rotary with center AUTO; do not freeze outer legends until current FSReborn behavior is tested | | ELEC EMER | Guarded emergency button | Guarded emergency power cover + switch | Equal | Guarded pushbutton | | BLEED 1 / BLEED 2 | Individual OFF / AUTO switches | Individual OFF / AUTO switches | Equal | Two maintained two-position switches | | XBLEED | Rotary with OFF / AUTO / manual-open (+) shown | Manual/prose and Annex A document OFF / AUTO only | Different implementation depth | Three-position rotary OFF / AUTO / OPEN;

FSReborn reference conflict | Three-position rotary LO1 / OFF / LO2; verify live variable behavior | | HYD PUMP SOV 1 / 2 | CLOSED / OPEN | CLOSED / OPEN | Equal | Two maintained two-position switches | ## Pressurization and air conditioning | Control | Aerobask Phenom 300 | FSReborn Phenom 300E | Comparison | Universal physical implementation | |---|---|---|---|---| | PRESN MODE | AUTO / MAN | AUTO / MAN | Equal | Two-position switch | | ECS source | OFF VENT / ECS 1 / BOTH / ECS 2 | Same four positions | Equal | Four-position rotary | | CABIN ALT | Momentary UP / DN | Momentary UP / DN | Equal | Spring-centered two-direction switch | | DUMP | Guarded momentary control | Guarded cover + momentary dump | Equal | Guarded momentary pushbutton | | CKPT FAN / CABIN FAN | LO / MED / HI | LO / MED / HI | Equal | Two three-position selectors | | A/C MODE | OFF / AUTO / MAN | OFF / AUTO / MAN | Equal | Three-position selector | | CKPT TEMP / CABIN TEMP | Rotary cold-hot controls | Rotary cold-hot controls | Equal | Two analog/encoder rotary controls | | Manual TEMP H/C | Momentary hot/cold control | Momentary manual temperature control | Equal | Spring-centered two-direction control | ## Ice, test and fire | Control | Aerobask Phenom 300 | FSReborn Phenom 300E | Comparison | Universal physical implementation | |---|---|---|---|---| | ENG 1 / ENG 2 anti-ice | Individual OFF / ON | Individual OFF / ON | Equal | Two maintained switches | | WINGSTAB | OFF / ON with ICE SPEED RESET momentary position | Same function documented | Equal | Three-position control with momentary RESET extreme | | ADS PROBES | OFF / AUTO / ON | OFF / AUTO / ON | Equal | Three-position rotary | | WSHLD 1 / WSHLD 2 | Individual OFF / ON | Individual OFF / ON | Equal | Two maintained switches | | INSP LIGHT | OFF / ON | Wing inspection light available | Equal | One maintained switch | | TEST selector | OFF plus ANN, SMK DET, FIRE, ICE PROT and STALL PROT positions | Six-position test selector documented | Equal | Six-position rotary | | START TEST | Momentary hold button | Momentary test-start event | Equal | One momentary pushbutton | | FIRE SHUTOFF 1 / 2 | Guarded/push-in shutoff buttons | Matching covered shutoff controls | Equal | Two guarded illuminated pushbuttons | | FIRE BOTTLE | OFF / DISCH | OFF / DISCH | Equal | Guarded or protected two-position/momentary discharge control | ## Useful misc controls | Control | Comparison | Initial decision | |---|---|---| | PUSHER CUTOUT | Present in both | Include on systems/misc panel if space permits; guarded emergency control | | SIGNS/OUTLET | Same three-position concept: OFF/ON, BELTS/ON, PED-BELTS/OFF | Useful but lower priority than core systems | | ELT | Present in both | Omit from first physical build unless spare panel space remains | | TAWS G/S INHB, FLAP OVRD, TERR INHB | Shown on Aerobask and FSReborn cockpit panels | Optional; omit from initial compact panel unless later operational use justifies them | | IFE/Refreshments | Explicit FSReborn simulation function; not a core Aerobask systems requirement | 300E-specific convenience control; software/touch only initially | | External/cabin lighting | Both aircraft provide controls, but not part of the two requested core units | Defer; reuse existing hardware or add later | | FCE reset | Explicit in FSReborn; not identified as required by Aerobask documentation | Optional 300E/profile-specific block only after live validation | | Oxygen/mask MIC | Present but outside requested physical scope | Defer | Design conclusion: A single compact physical systems assembly can support both add-ons with one ESP32 and local I/O expansion. The core control set is overwhelmingly common. There is no control-inventory reason yet to split it into two ESP32 modules; split only if the final mechanics deliberately creates two removable panels. Open evidence checks before legends/mechanics are frozen: 1. FSReborn BUS TIE outer-position behavior. 2. FSReborn XFEED live positions versus its simplified Annex A entry. 3. Whether FSReborn supports a manual-open XBLEED position or only OFF/AUTO. 4. Which optional misc controls are genuinely useful in normal home-cockpit operation.

Add one Phenom-specific systems-panel assembly, optionally divided into two physically separate removable panels. It does not need to reproduce the real aircraft panel layout 1:1; the objective is a clean, convincing multi-aircraft cockpit rather than a museum replica. The comparative audit must cover: - Electrical: BATT 1, BATT 2, generators where required, GPU, bus/emergency electrical where relevant - Fuel: pumps and crossfeed - Hydraulics - Bleed / ECS - Pressurization - Ice protection: ENG 1, ENG 2, WING/STAB, windshield and probes - Fire / test - Cabin, signs and miscellaneous controls only when useful Use two ESP32 modules only if the system is mechanically split into two loose/removable panels. One compact physical assembly may use one ESP32 with local I/O expanders. The hardware must remain simulator-independent and expose functional cockpit keys; the broker maps these to the Aerobask Phenom 300/X-Plane or FSReborn Phenom 300E/MSFS implementation. Do not freeze layout, dimensions, switch types, feedback devices or BOM until an exact Phenom 300 versus 300E control inventory establishes which functions are shared, different, absent or software-only.
