Careful examination of the original image would show that the

had been carelessly left in the 'search possible' position.
Subsequent to the early models, tireless development of the aircraft led to many improvements.
The order from Romania's foremost steak-knife factory, which had been supplying the distinctive power levers, was cancelled, and more conventional controls used instead (as a happy by-product, diners in Bucharest were once again able to cut up their dinners).
The design office staff who had examined a typical western blind flying panel in a mirror and on its side discovered their error and the principal instruments of later aircraft were laid out so as to decrease by 78% (in tests) the assimilative load on pilots flying unusual attitude recoveries.
Sadly, wiring considerations meant that the switch panel to the pilot's right had to remain. Specialists in haptic sensing were brought in, along with guide dogs, to assist pilots in learning to make appropriate systems selections. The guide dogs could only be rated to -2.3 and +4.7 G against the aircraft's earlier certified limits; operations beyond those boundaries saw damage at the claw/canopy interface and unbudgeted cleaning demands resulting from the dogs' willingness to regurgitate under stress.
Finally, the demands of the modern world, and especially pressure from inhabitants of certain discussion forums, saw the ultimate development of the type.
The IAR 825prodoML (see footnote) variant was introduced to address and neutralise the threat posed by highly experienced fighter pilots whose cunning use of technology had changed the balance of power and taken the fun out of combat operations.
The

was deleted and replaced with a handy box for the pilot's sandwiches. The inhibit system was then permanently live, and the only way to identify images of the cockpit was through diligent research and application of broad knowledge and experience of aircraft.
