Minor differences like who makes the FMC, what color a knob is etc, is not what I was reffering to. As far as 757-767, I know several RA Pilots that have flown both and they tell me that you can pretty much walk from one cockpit to the other with only minor training.
September 11, 200421 yr Commercial Member "-200 and -300 have the exact same cockpit as the 757"Assuming you were referring to the 767-200/-300, well, you are mistaking.Agreed, at a first glance the two cockpits seem similar. But there are quite a few big differences:completely different hydraulic panel (the 757 has no HMG, but has a PTU)completely different bleed system and panel. No jettison on the 757 either.But then again no two 767 cockpits are the same either :-)Regards,Mark Mark Foti Author of aviaworx - https://www.aviaworx.com
