Heh - point taken enicalyth...
I should have qualified my post slightly: I was referring to information "freely available on the internet".
Even so, and to (vaguely) stand up for my point - the AC documents are created in accordance with ATA/NAS 3601, so the information there is reasonably standard for both companies.
However, company "B" does not make the Maintenance Facility Planning manual freely available to anyone (as company "A" does). For non-industry people looking for this kind of information, the MFP gives you precise dimensions and angles for all flight control surfaces, all major aircraft structures, detailed breakdowns of a/c zones, and hundreds of pages more of information.
My post was not intended as a criticism of Boeing at all (please God not another A vs. B thread!
- and this isn't even about the aircraft!
), more an observation of what information is "freely" available and what is not.
All best,
Martin
