Some B757 from BA have received an avionic from B747-400, with PFD and ND.
I guess some specific documentation has been issued for these B757, it should be in BA Operations Manual Part B B757
Any help very welcome in PM
Thanks

I flew BA 757s for 7 years. There are only 4 left in BA service now and I am certain that they all had the standard avionics fit. Small PFD & ND one above the other with mechanical dial ASI, VSI & Altimeter.
Some had they Pegasus upgraded FMC, but that is it.

You may be refering to the IS&S intallation that turns the 757/767 into something like the B777/747-4. Google it and I think you will find some photographs. FedEx, American and a few others have adopted it for their fleets. Only takes three days down time and reportedly costs less than $400,000 which isn't bad when you think of the cost of one symbol geneerator at around $125,000.

AA has installed the FPDS on some of its 75/76 fleet, with the rest to follow shortly. Unfortunately they ordered the cheap version, in which you still have to manually set V speeds for T/O and landing, since the FMCs do not "talk" to the screens. Also, the PFD is absurdly small. But it does make the cockpit look a little more modern.

Abx Air Has A Very Large Percentage Of Thir 767- 200 Fleet Flying With This Pfd- Nd Modification. I Believe They Were The Initial Group To Pioneer This Mod. On Their Fleet. It Has Proven Very Successful And Their Mx. Dept. Does Aircraft Mods. As Sidework.

You mean you want a B757 Ops manual that reflects this modification? Not likely to happen. Why don't you ask IS&S for some of their material as it applies to the installation? They sent it to several years ago and suspect they may share it with you. Certainly enough inof==formation to familiarize yourself with the capabilities of the system.
