Hi,
I'm looking for info concerning the layout and gauges on the flight deck of a 747-200.
If you know of any good sites containing this information, please let me know.

thanks in advance.

(also, any info on the socalled "basic six" or "T" layout situation explained is also very welcome)

I did my degree dissertation on user interface design of modern aircraft flight decks which covers the move from analogue to glass flight decks and goes into anal detail on the basic T (basic 6). it isn't 747 specific in fact it is more airbus based but there are several refs in it to very deep websites that really go to town on flight deck layout. I can mail it to you if you want it, just mail me either here or to my proper mail address and assuming credit is given in any work you may use it in you're more than welcome to a copy!

I'm not an expert on the 747 and so I'm not sure if this is the -200 or -400, but there seems to be a bit too much glass for a Classic. I'm not sure - give it a shot!

Cheers
