Abstract

Describes how the Next Generation (NG) Boeing 737‐600/700/800/900 flight deck uses either of two instrument panels. One is based on the 737‐300/400/500 series and the other on the 777 and 747‐400. These are more commonly known as the EFIS/MAP and the PFD/ND layouts, respectively. The article goes on to describe the flight deck of the Boeing 717 which first flew last year, and how this has been adapted from previous designs.
