Radzi 2 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 Nice .. Didn't know the MCP is still using the normal 747-400 version , instead of the one thats supposed to come with the 400F that has the digital displays I believe I've seen a picture somewhere of the two freighters using the digital MCP. Maybe just like the B734 the MCP is interchangeable and could have been swapped from one aircraft to another. On the B734 fleet we have one MCP with paddle-type autopilot button; it keep on reappearing on different aircraft after maintenance works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The MCP is a very reliable piece of hardware on the Boeings, normally during a hangar check its not even removed from the glare shield. At least that how it was.

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 4, 2010 Why were the flaps and slats in full deployment mode? Were they conducting some sort of checks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 Very nice pix! Are there any seats for couriers or accompanying officials? I note that when FedEx delivered the pandas to China, they had some seats for those accompanying the VIP cargo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I note that when FedEx delivered the pandas to China, they had some seats for those accompanying the VIP cargo. They have six seat, upstairs classified as "Supernumery seats" and few "bunk beds" for crew rest aft of the seats. Affnan Why were the flaps and slats in full deployment mode? Were they conducting some sort of checks? The picture shows the Engineer (I think that's V Roy)have his hand near the Alternate Flap control, probably he use it. That also the reason the Flap indication goes to Expanded Mode. Affnan Edited July 5, 2010 by affnan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
