REALLY! Wow! It must be an NG then! Never realized how much the flight deck looked like a 757 or 67 cockpit!

Yes, it's an NG. And only at first glance - look at some 757 or 767 cockpit photos and you'll see they're very different from the 737. The 757's cockpit on the other hand is very similar to that of the 767.

The more lights you have, the bigger a problem you've got!

No kidding! It was scary to see just how analog and obsolete the flight instruments were in the Konkordski on display at Sinsheim.

I think I could still fly like that, but, the workload just gets so much higher.

HerrDrayer In reply to babynuke [2008-10-06 11:39:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I imagine a pilot must learn how to fly an analog plane before he/she can get a license. The glass cockpit is merely a convenience item...

Normally, it is turned off after the engines are started to save fuel. And it's not running in this photo.

Ah, Now I know what to do. I think I was looking at the wrong gauge.

No, in-flight the APU is disengaged. Turning it on again is part of the "after landing" Checklist

Hope to have helped you

Actually, that's not true - if a ground power unit is available there's often no need to start the APU after landing. Also, we don't have an after landing checklist.

daPap In reply to babynuke [2008-10-06 13:24:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, sure the APU is not mandatory if you have ground power available.
Regarding the after landing checklist, I know it from many airlines. I also know it as "taxi in checklist".

However, you are the pilot and so the expert as well

We only have a shutdown checklist. But indeed, procedures vary per airline.

It's because the engines become the generators right?

daPap In reply to AvFreak [2008-10-06 13:25:51 +0000 UTC]

yes, the engines are producing power in-air. There is also a battery availaible for emergency as far as I know

traxxmaxmaster In reply to daPap [2008-10-05 15:31:24 +0000 UTC]

thought so, i usually see 767, 757 and an occasionally a 777 cockpit more than the 737s.
