Okay,I'm laughing with you now, not at you! CP, as in Chief Pilot. I simply took the question to from a different slant since there are no Collins FMS in Boeing's the question was moot. What some pilots fail to understand is that there are soooo many variations on a B757/767 FMS that it's hard to talk about one case without knowing exactly what the operator has in his box and believe me there are many options. Look on your Descent page the next time and see what your Off Path Descent has to offer. That is what I was refering to as I thought that maybe those were the rings he refered to.
No problem other than one man's 757/767 may not even begin to resemble the next operators aircraft. Example; how many B767's have you seen with 3 HMG's or a Hyd. driven emergency fuel boost pump? Well they all have existed and the point is that one needs to becareful when he lumps all versions together. Honeywell offers numerous features on all of their later FMS units so without having a real hands on encounter it's hard to say what your looking at. Check out that Off Path Descent faeture...pretty nice stuff for certain occasions.
