MOZA MA3F Flight Computer Display
The MOZA MA3F is a physical A320-style MCDU panel built for Airbus flight simulation enthusiasts flying study-level aircraft like the Fenix A320, FlyByWire A32X, and Toliss A320 family.
It puts a dedicated 5.1-inch IPS display and full A320 MCDU key layout on your desk as physical hardware, replacing mouse-based on-screen interaction with the tactile button and display experience that defines how the real flight management computer is operated from the Airbus cockpit.
The front housing is die-cast aluminium alloy with a refined surface finish, and the keys use high-force dome switches with rigid silicone keycaps that deliver firm, stable actuation with every input. Screen brightness, character illumination, and status lighting are all independently adjustable, with real-time synchronisation through MOZA Cockpit that keeps the panel's lighting matched to the in-sim cockpit environment. Built-in checklist and whiteboard pages extend the MA3F beyond a simulator peripheral into a practical cockpit workflow tool, and mounting options cover the included desktop stand and standard 75×75mm VESA for desk and cockpit rig integration.

How the MA3F compares to operating the MCDU on-screen
Flying a study-level Airbus in MSFS or X-Plane with a mouse-operated on-screen MCDU works functionally — the aircraft behaves correctly — but it requires clicking at a rendered panel inside the cockpit viewport. Entering a route, loading a performance page, or tuning a navigation radio means zooming into the on-screen MCDU, clicking small buttons with the mouse cursor, and then returning focus to the outside view. Every MCDU input pulls your attention away from the cockpit picture and into the screen UI. For pilots building procedural familiarity with the Airbus FMS, or simply seeking the most immersive possible simulation experience, that disconnect is the central limitation of not having physical hardware.
The MA3F places a dedicated physical MCDU in front of you that operates independently of the simulator view. Route entry, departure and approach procedure loading, performance data input, and radio navigation tuning all happen through real keystrokes on a real panel while the simulator view stays on screen. The physical key feel of the high-force switches, the separate display showing MCDU pages in real time, and the tactile confirmation of every button press replicate the actual interaction of operating Airbus flight management computers in a way that a mouse on screen cannot. For Fenix A320, FlyByWire A32X, and Toliss A320 pilots, the MA3F closes that gap directly.
Die-cast aluminium housing and professional key switches
The MA3F's front housing is die-cast aluminium alloy with a refined surface finish, giving the panel a substantial, premium feel that matches its position as dedicated cockpit hardware rather than a generic peripheral. At 588g and 277.9 × 145.5 × 29.6mm, the panel is compact enough to sit alongside a keyboard and yoke on a standard desk without dominating the space, while the die-cast construction keeps it rigid and stable during use.
The key switches use a high-force dome design paired with rigid high-hardness silicone keycaps. The actuation force is intentionally firm, which minimises accidental keypresses during data entry and matches the positive, deliberate key feel of real Airbus MCDU hardware. Keycap wobble is minimised by the rigid silicone construction, keeping each input precise and stable across extended data entry sessions. The keys are backlit with independently adjustable illumination, and backlighting synchronises with in-sim cockpit lighting via MOZA Cockpit telemetry.
Real-time telemetry sync and adjustable lighting
The MA3F connects to the PC via USB Type-C and synchronises with the simulator through MOZA Cockpit. The 5.1-inch IPS display updates in real time from the simulator's MCDU data output, meaning the pages shown on the physical panel mirror exactly what appears on the on-screen MCDU at all times. Entering data through the physical keys is reflected immediately on both the MA3F display and the in-sim panel without lag or manual sync steps.
Backlighting across the display, key characters, and status indicators is managed independently through MOZA Cockpit. Each layer adjusts separately, allowing the panel to be configured for a dark night cockpit atmosphere with dim character lighting, a bright daytime setup, or any combination that matches personal preference and in-sim environment. MOZA Cockpit telemetry sync can also tie all three lighting layers to real-time cockpit lighting data from the simulator, so the MA3F automatically adjusts as the sim moves from daytime to night operations.
Built-in checklist and whiteboard pages
The MA3F includes a built-in checklist function accessible directly from the panel without switching to a secondary application or browser tab. For pilots following procedural checklists during startup, taxi, departure, approach, and shutdown, having the checklist on the physical hardware panel rather than on a phone or paper keeps the workflow within the cockpit environment.
Three dedicated whiteboard pages provide a scratch space directly on the MA3F display for notes, fuel calculations, approach briefing data, or any other text the pilot wants to keep visible during the flight. These pages are independent of the simulator and persist through the flight session without requiring a separate app or device. For Fenix A320 and FlyByWire A32X pilots who work through detailed pre-flight procedures, the combination of physical MCDU input and onboard note pages makes the MA3F a practical cockpit tool beyond its role as a simulator peripheral.
Our expert take
The MA3F is for Airbus sim pilots who want to stop clicking at the MCDU on screen and start operating it as physical hardware. The immersion and procedural realism difference is significant — entering a route, loading an approach, or working through performance data on a real panel with real keys changes how you engage with the aircraft. If you fly the Fenix A320 or FlyByWire A32X seriously, the MA3F is the most direct upgrade to the procedural authenticity of your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an MCDU and why does physical hardware matter for Airbus simulation?
The MCDU (Multi-purpose Control and Display Unit) is the primary flight management computer interface in an Airbus cockpit. Pilots use it to enter routes, load departure and approach procedures, input performance data, and manage navigation throughout the flight. In simulation, the MCDU is typically operated by mouse on the rendered in-cockpit panel. Physical hardware like the MA3F replaces that with a real panel and real keys that operate independently of the simulator view, making data entry faster, more accurate, and more immersive.
What Airbus aircraft are compatible with the MA3F FCD at launch?
Confirmed compatible aircraft at launch include the Fenix A320, A321, and A319 and the FlyByWire A32X in MSFS 2020 and 2024, and the Toliss A320, A321, and A319 and the FlightFactor A320 Ultimate in X-Plane 11 and 12. Additional aircraft support will be added through MOZA Cockpit updates.
What is the difference between the MA3F FCD and the MB7F FCD?
The MA3F FCD is designed for Airbus A320-family aircraft simulation, replicating the MCDU layout and workflow of the Airbus flight management computer. The MB7F FCD is designed for Boeing 737 simulation, replicating the CDU (Control and Display Unit) layout used in Boeing aircraft. Both use the same hardware platform but are configured and labelled for their respective aircraft types. Choose based on which aircraft type you primarily fly.
Does the MA3F require additional plugins or software beyond MOZA Cockpit?
MOZA Cockpit handles all integration between the MA3F and compatible flight simulators. No third-party plugins are required for the confirmed compatible aircraft at launch. Simply connect the MA3F via USB, open MOZA Cockpit, and launch the simulator.
Can I use the MA3F with Airbus aircraft not on the confirmed compatibility list?
The MA3F may function as a generic input device with other aircraft, but full MCDU data synchronisation and real-time display output are confirmed only for the listed aircraft. MOZA Cockpit updates will expand the confirmed compatibility list over time.
What do the built-in checklist and whiteboard pages do?
The built-in checklist provides a procedural checklist viewable directly on the MA3F display during startup, taxi, departure, approach, and shutdown phases without switching to a separate app. The three whiteboard pages provide a dedicated scratch space on the panel display for flight notes, fuel figures, approach briefing data, or any other text you want to keep visible during the flight session.
What mounting options are available?
The MA3F includes a desktop stand for immediate out-of-box use and supports standard 75×75mm VESA mounting for integration into cockpit rigs and simulator frames.
Does the MA3F work alongside the MGX1000 instrument panel and other MOZA flight hardware?
Yes. The MA3F connects via USB and is managed through MOZA Cockpit alongside other MOZA flight peripherals. It can operate simultaneously with the MGX1000 Instrument Panel, yoke bases, throttle units, and rudder pedals within the same MOZA Cockpit session.
