A320 Shell Back Wall

We asked ourselves how we could make the immersion in the simulation even better and more realistic for you. The closed rear wall is perfect for this. It closes the cockpit from behind and gives you the irrefutable feeling of sitting in a real cockpit.

The rear wall is part of our unique modular system from VIER IM POTT. It not only allows for separate installation. Existing simulators with a standard shell size can also be upgraded.

We paid attention to many details in the back wall. The fuse panels are not functional, but they look completely real. The cockpit door has a corresponding peephole. The door itself is a sliding door so that we do not exceed the existing external dimensions. For safety reasons it cannot be locked.

The upholstery is made of the same material as the cockpit seats, namely the fabric Airbus also uses for the original seats. This not only creates a harmonious overall appearance, you will also feel very comfortable in the cockpit.

The view from the captain's seat towards the first officer is impressive.

The attention to detail such as fuse panels and storage compartments make the back wall very realistic.

The closed cockpit is a real highlight of the simulator and its effect cannot be overestimated.

A special highlight is the Third Occupant Seat. Like the original, it can be folded in and out. When folded in, it interferes relatively little with freedom of movement. To use it, it is first moved to the side. Then the seat and the upper section can be unfolded. The seat is then in line with the pedestal and is surprisingly comfortable.


If desired, a third connection can be added to the cockpit intercom system so that the guest or instructor can also listen in on the radio. Active radio communication is possible via the third radio (RMP and ACP) in the overhead.

The seat is already very impressive when folded and allows maximum freedom of movement in the cockpit.

Folded out, the seat offers a quite comfortable place for a third person in the cockpit.

We are very happy to receive your feedback. Anyone who would like to can get their own impression of the Backwall in our showroom in Bottrop, NRW, Germany. Please feel free to contact us.
