Hi all!
Been absent from PPRuNe for the last three weeks, as I have been undertaking a type conversion to the B737-300. (I am sure you all noticed!
)
A question came up the other day about the different background colour that Boeing have used for different sections of the Overhead Panel, specifically the fuel panel, hydraulic panel and such (I am away from my diagrams at the moment).
One of the other students commented that Boeing had a philosophy about the colours on the overhead panel that actually made sense, but couldn't recall what that was. So - (sure that the answer will make me a much better pilot, and fill all of the gaps in the Boeing type manual
) Why did Boeing use the different shades of grey??
