Hello Valin,

 

The panel looks good, real star trek. A few things caught my eye that you might want to consider.

 

Consider moving the AOA indicators. In a standard panel layout the airspeed indicator is upper left in the layout. The reason for this is that you refer constantly between the AS and the outside during approach and landing. If you're like me, you'll soon replace the airspeed in your landing scan with the AOA, therefore consider moving it to the upper left (pilot side) and upper right (copilot side). It creates a more efficient scan during approach and landing.

 

Although the annunciator panel looks good, it takes up a lot of room. Individual annunciator lights such as you've planned are rarely used in today's high performance jets.  Consider a small screen with that can display anything you want. That way you can get all annunciations in much less space, as well as using the screen for checklists, etc. Vision Micro makes exactly such a screen. I have it in my 320. Works great and takes up very little room. In addition, when any critical parameter is reached you get a warning tone in your headset that immediately brings your attention to the annunciator.
