Except in the B-777, Boeing 777 FCTM says:"Autothrottle use is recommended during all phases of flight. When in manual flight, autothrottle use is also recommended, however manual thrust control may be used to maintain pilot proficiency."

I would say that even more important that the engines is the wing itself... The -200LR and the 777F has basically the same fuselage of the -200 series but with the -300ER wing... That is the main difference, but there are of course many more...

There are several important differences between the -200LR and the -200/-200ER, they are very different airplanes. The -200LR is somewhat similar to the 777F, but not with the -200/-200ER.

that is a feature found in the B-767 series, but it does not work that way in the B-777. There is no altitude pop up into the scratchpad, you just set the new altitude on the MCP and then when you want to initiate the climb or descent push the altitude selector and that action transfer the altitude value set on the MCP window to the FMS and initiate the CRZ climb or descent...

Actually the B-777-300 is longer than the A380...

the rule that talks about admission to the flight deck is CFR 121.547, it has nothing to do with TSA, it is a FAA rule.

Simple answer is NO. there is no minimum legal amount of fuel to be left in the thanks after landing.

That is a good explanation about what the chiller boost fan is. Now if we had the "u/s" at the end of the sentence, simply means that the chiller boost fan is unusable or is not working for some reason. The ATA 21-26-02 is the section of the approved manual that allows the airplane to continue flight operations with this particular equipment inoperative under certain circumstances. As the chiller boost fan is not relevant or important for safe flight operations basically the ATA 21-26-02 tells you that the airplane may continue to flight for up to 10 days before repair or replacement is made to rectify the problem. This particular item does not affect dispatch, performance or impose any restrictions or specific operational procedures.

ok Guys, I hope that Tony gets well soon, I have already contributed towards that and I will also be able to join you guys in this project flying the legs: 05:00 to 06:15 Spokane KGEG - Boise KBOI KGEG BEAMO J20 DNJ KBOI 06:15 to 09:15 Boise KBOI - Minneapolis KMSP KBOI PIH DDY J107 DPR FAR.GEP5 KMSP Is there any specific call sign we will be using or anything specific on the remarks section of the flight plan? I will probably be flying LVL-D magnificent B-767. Cheers

I am afraid it IS TRUE!!!... quoted from Boeing Commercial airplane website... "The 777-200ER (extended range), in Malaysia Airlines livery, established a new Great Circle Distance Without Landing record. The airplane flew from Boeing Field, Seattle, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, covering 12,455.34 statute miles (20,044.20 km). The same airplane later went on to complete a record-setting circumnavigation of the world, establishing a new speed world record for its size and class of airplane. The Speed Around the World, Eastbound record was set by traveling the Seattle-Kuala Lumpur-Seattle route at an average speed of 553 miles per hour (889 km/h)."
