Cock-Pit Tour​

hey! that looks like the 'cockpit of the future'...flight at 35,000 and the a/c is flying on it's own without pilots.

Here is another really cool site with Flight decks and a bunch of other stuff.

777 nice plane. All fly-by-wire right??

and to think of all the knuckleheads who bash the A320 because it doesn't have manual reversion.....guess they would bash the 777 too?

I only bash the scairbus because I believe in buying U.S. hardware.

Probably not. In the unlikely event of a complete electrical system shutdown, cables from the flight deck to the stabilizer and a pair of spoilers allow the pilot to fly straight and level until the electrical system is restarted. The alternate pitch trim levers are linked to the stabilizer trim control modules via control cables, and then mechanically to the stabilizer. Spoilers 4 and 11 are mechanically controlled through a cable from the control wheel. Not sure if Airbus has a similar system but I doubt it.

The Airbus 320, in the unlikely event, has manual rudder and pitch trim. Not meant to be landed this way, but it can be done.

Essentially, the manual backup is to be used to maintain straight and level, until at least one computer can be reset. Plenty of redundant systems and the computers can all assume functions of others that may have failed.
