One of the cockpit modules includes an insertion part and one of the cockpit modules includes a receptacle part. The insertion part can be inserted into the receptacle part and can be connected to the insertion part in at least two different relative positions in order to provide two different operating geometries with the cockpit unit by assembling differently.
