DESCRIPTION
The instructor's flap switch is a 3 position switch, and has priority over the pupil's 2 position flap switch. When in the centre position the pupil's two position switch is allowed command of the flap control, but when selected to either up or down positions the pupil's switch position is ignored.
The switch is fitted with a large flap switch knob painted black.
Luckily I acquired a new-old-stock switch of the correct type, in original packaging.

SIMULATION
The logic between the flap switches and simulator flap control is already written, so this swithc is jsut awaiting an I/O input to be wired to.
