New Flight Deck Increases Operating Efficiency
The new flight deck makes the airplane easier to maintain and provides flexibility for operators to tailor the flight-deck equipment to their training needs. A new instrument panel and avionics package consolidate 67 different flight deck parts to 20, simplifying maintenance and improving flight crew efficiency.
The most notable change is the use of six large liquid-crystal displays in the same arrangement as the 777 and Next-Generation 737 flight decks. Pilots of these models receive similar information in a similar format. This significantly reduces training requirements to transition pilots of these other Boeing models to the 767-400ER.
The avionics package contains an all-new display system and upgraded navigation equipment. Operators will be able to add enhanced operational capabilities, including future air navigation system requirements.
The 767-400ER maintains the same pilot-type rating with the 767 fleet and a common pilot-type rating with 757s for continued airline flexibility in training and scheduling flight crews.
