Cockpit Layout

Overhead Panel – Control aircraft system like air conditioning / electrical / Hydraulics etc.

Autopilot Control (Mode Control Panel) – input command into autopilot system

Flight Instrument – Indications + EICAS / ECAM

Control Column – to control aircraft’s control surfaces

Power – Included Throttle / Flaps or Spoilers control

Conventional Cockpit

http://hk.vatsea.net (+852) 35947770VATSIM Hong Kong

Conventional Cockpit- Conventional Cockpit only have

round-dial analog gauges

- Crew always have to monitor gauges very closely

- Crew have to consume lot of time to find out fault when problem occurred

- Limited expanding ability

- High life cycle cost

1st Generation Glass Cockpit- Also known as semi glass cockpit

as the formation of cockpit is CRT display + Conventional Gauges

- Flight instruments were merged into Flight Computers, warning / caution msg will be directly displayed

= Improved Situation Awareness

-Basic instruments were duplicated due to doubt of CRT’s reliability expect EICAS

- Great contribution to maint work as maint crew can run self test and check aircraft heath status simply.

2nd Generation Glass Cockpit- No conventional round dial

gauges left besides CRT / LCD display

- Different function simply divided to different display

- Usually have 6 switchable display unit (DU)

- Synoptic Indications

3rd Generation Glass Cockpit

- Related aspect of display were integrated into fewer display

- More message could be display once

- Electronic flight bag / terrain display integrated / ATC datalink integrated => paperless
