B757/767 Cockpit Companion
Does anyone know if their is a version similar to Billy Bulfar's 737 cockpit companion available for the B757/767. Transair do a systems book for the B757/767 but I have had a look at it and am not that impressed! Any help or suggestions would be appreciated..
Thanks

On a slightly different note....
Going off topic slightly - i am about to start a type rating (well, i a few months anyway) on the Boeing 757. Anyone reccommend any good reading material, in preperation for the type rating? Nothing too heavy, just info so when i go in there, i have some background knowledge?
Cheers,

I got mine from Mike Ray at University of Temecula. A google search will find it, scroll down to the 757/767 sim checkride survival manual. All the procedures are United Airlines so don't bother with them (unless you're joining UAL) but good background reading nonetheless...Sample page from the website...

Trouble with 'handling the Big Jets' is that it is thirty years out of date - now there's a job for someone with time on his hands...................
Beware looking too closely at 'revision guides' which are allied to a particular operators SOP's. As you are 737NG current, you will be in tune with Mr Boeings philosophy and assuming that you are about to join a UK 757 Operator you will get all the guidance you need in groundschool/simulator - not joining an airline with pink starfish on the tail are you ?

Beamer Jets still are/do
1. Bigger and heavier [high stall speeds=high reference speeds
2. Fly Faster
3. Fly Higher
4. Have Turbine engines
and ALL the allied consequences
Ex. Pinnacle airlines [Flying higher, Buffet boundaries, Stick Pushers, Stalling].
FedEx MD-11 at EWR... High sink rates on approach...and poor lift at low speed.... Flying Faster/ Bigger and Heavier/turbine engines
DAL Lockheed L-1011, Poor lift a low airspeed...Flying Faster and absence of propeller slipstream in significantly lowering power on stall speed... Turbine engines ...Flying faster and engine Accelleration times... Turbine engines
Bigger and Heavier=high momentum... look at the high numbers of overruns.

I got the 737 Sim Checkride/Procedures book for my recent conversion course. It caused more confusion than it was worth- the procedures with my airline are totally different to the ones in the book, and I actually think it had a negative effect and caused simulator confusion for me, I could never get all those dratted memory drills right.
I would suggest leave pre-revision out altogether. Relax and give your family your time until the course starts, because once it does start, they will not have much of you. Then when the course starts, you will be learning the correct data and drills and can apply yourself better refreshed.
I bought the Bulfer Cockpit Guide, the 737 Management Reference Guide and the 737 Simulator and Checkride Procedures Manuals. None of them were any help for the course- you still have to work your way through the course and answer questions based on the course, so I would recommend just leave it to the course! Take the wife away or the whole family on holiday- they're suposed to be giving holidays away now, and take a break from planes because you'll need it!
