777 Eicas

Folks,

How do you select different EICAS pages on the 777. I know Airbuses have a neat little control panel to bring up various pages on their secondary ECAM screen, but how do Boeing do their version?

we call it the DSP - Display Select Panel and it's located on the Glareshield.

In addition to the DSP previously mentioned, certain expanded displays and abnormal checklists pop-up automatically on the normally blank lower EICAS display (not strictly EICAS system stuff, but I'm not sure if the Airbusses work this way, too).

DSP - or you can select through the CDU.

Thanks folks,

...is obvious when you see it!

What about the 757/767?

First generation glass cockpits, is the EICAS as sophistated? Assume it must be pretty good to allow no flight engineer. Is there a similar control to the DSP?

older 757/767 - no DSP. Limited eicas system displays off a push button thingy (it's been a while....) giving expanded ENG, STATUS, and that's about it. On the newer ones, with Pegasus FMC's, you can get an expanded Eng display on the FMC CDU by going to MENU-ACMS-DISPLAY-ENG DATA....not well known.

Don't know about the 757-300 or the 767-400.

747-400 is much the same as the 777, without the checklists or the mousepad.

Hope this helps, 'cos it's confused the heck out of me....

Thanks RRAMJET,

My guess is that 753 follows 752, but 764 more akin to 777.
