September 1, 201312 yr Anyone know off by hand any airlines that are currently using the Split PFD/ND displays? I only know of United right now. I'm looking to do more flights with this setup and would like to keep it realistic if possible. Thanks in advance for any input. Ken Connors
September 2, 201312 yr As far as I know United is the only airline still using this setup. United is in the process of switching over to the normal PFD/MFD setup now that the last 737-500 was parked in the spring. I think the fleet is about 60% converted right now. I know Southwest used to have the split setup as well, but I believe all of their NG's have been converted as well. C
September 2, 201312 yr IIRC, All of UA's new 900's are being shipped with the PFD/ND instead of the EFIS/MAP display setup now. They also have relevant CBT training detailing the differences which is produced by a company called CPaT. All the Southwests NG's got converted when they went for full RNP approval. I think their classics are also being fitted out with EADI/EHSI (or PFD/ND if you want to say so). Regards,James White Aerosoft (Airbus X Extended/Twin Otter Extended/PFPX) & Majestic Q400 Beta Team
September 2, 201312 yr Author I did'nt think there was anyone else doing it. I knew southwest used them, but also noticed in later pictures and videos that they have moved on from that. I know the reasoning behind using the EFIS/MAP setup and all, but it sure did seem quite "busy", especially the engine display compared to the standard PFD/ND. Ken Connors
