Boeing Glass Cockpit Demystified?

[CaptLeslie]

Can anyone give a short simple description of the following B737 NG systems:
CDS – Common Display System
DEU – Display Electronic Units
EEC – Electronic Engine Control

Just a simple explanation of what they do…

just a short simple explanation of what they do...

CDS: - Common Display System – An electronic display that shows primary flight, navigation, and engine information.

DEU: - DEU’s are mounted on the aft rack of the EE Compartment; DEU’s collect data from the airplane systems then change the data to a video signal that is sent to the Display units in the cockpit and send the data to other airplane systems.

EEC: - Electronic Engine Control – (Normal mode)

- Controls the HMU electronically (throttle by wire)
- Uses N1 speed to control engine thrust
- Detects hot starts, EGT overshoots, and wet starts
- Provides auto relight
