The 737 cockpit is very well known and is not too complex.
Let's start with the throttle, on the right you can see the flap control. Flaps help increase lift and drag. The flaps have many different modes; UP, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45 and DOWN On the left, you can see the airbrake (Spoiler) the airbrake reduces speed and has 3 modes: UP, Armed, DOWN. In the centre, we have the thrust levers, the thrust levers control the amount of thrust forward and back.
Beneath the trust levers, there are 2 more levers, these are for fuel in the engine. On the bottom left theirs a small lever with a red light, this is the parking brake. Beneath the fuel control, there are 3 red levers these are fire extinguish controllers. If you confirm a fire you will pull one of these levers to extinguish the fire.
This is the yoke. On the left, you can see two buttons the one on the lower part is to disengage the autopilot on the right we have the hydraulic pressure control for the yoke.
That about it for the basic stuff, now I'm going to show the overhead panel.
