1. Step up / step down as discussed above
2. Bigger
3. Heavier
4. Goes further
5. aileron lockout
6. tail bumper
7. bags/cargo in containers or pallets
8. ADPs in hydraulic systems
9. fuel jettison
10.entry doors electric up and over thing
11.landing gear differences - drag brace and side brace.
12. Bigger engines
13. For manual start valve closure the "volunteer" has to lie down under the engine rather than fish around through a flap on the side.
14. Different flap load relief criteria
15. Thrust measured by EPR (757) and N1 (767) (- on the engines I was used to...)
16. Left hyd system is "heavy" on 757, centre on 767
17. Below 50% in a hyd reservoir will produce an RSVR light on the 757 but a QTY light on the 767
18. RSVR light on 767 also lights for low pneumatic head pressure in the hyd reservoir
19. only centre hyd reservoir in 767 has a standpipe (reserve brakes), all three in 757
20. 757 has a Reserve Brakes switch, 767 has Reserve Brakes and Steering switch.
21. 757 main gear truck tilts nose up, 767 tilts nose down.
22. ALTN GEAR EXTEND on 767 activates solenoid to release the geardoor uplocks, on 757 it activates an elec motor to drive a hyd pump to release the gear and door uplocks.
23. so....in the 767 with total loss of AC power, get the gear down before you lose the battery

Apologies if some of these are rubbish, it's over 2 years since I flew them...and my notes are even older still. But we're almost half way!
