Most of those knobs below the glare shield are things like dimming the displays, setting what appears on each display (notable as there was an AIRS report from a pilot who struggled with the displays and presentation). But the key controls in these accidents are identical. Namely the electronic trim on the yoke, the trim wheels in the middle and the cut-off switches to the right and below the throttles.
