Hello everyone, while browsing the a.net photo database I came across nice pictures of KLM MD-11 cockpits (pity, copyright issues doesn't allowed links to airliners.net). A few pictures are showing the EAD with both the Primary and the Secondary Engine Display - but with the N1, EGT and N2 parameters not depicted with the semi-circular gauge we all know, but with a "box column" gauge like the 747-200,- 300 and -400 has (I hope everyone understands what I mean). Is this a company option for the MD-11? I've never seen this on any other MD-11 except these KLM ones... or is this just an updated software version with a more "Boeing-like" style? Greetings,Thomas

You can choose to have the EAD and SD ENG page showing either the dials or tape indicators just like the 744. It is an option but I don't know who used/uses those indicators.
