I flew a ton of -83's with glass. However, the annunciator panel was the old fashioned one, not like the -88.

MD83
Ther are different versions, all the newer ones are glass-cockpit.
MD81/82: conventional MD83: Conventional and glass MD87: glass MD88/90: glass |
Most of the ones floating around are all glass now. The ones we got from American, Reno Air etc were all EFIS.

MD81/82: conventional MD83: Conventional and glass MD87: glass MD88/90: glass EFIS was optional on the 83 when it came out in '83. It's a heavyweight '82 with -219 engines vs -217. The different designations define engines, length, etc., and not flight deck. The MD-88 was the exception, built for Delta, and later sold to others as well. That Honeywell EFIS is now ancient, and was never inexpensive to maintain. Has anyone certified a retrofit? GB |
