No...

 

[XTW]

B747-100

 

[rfresh]

Yes...specifically a B-747SP.

Note the odd thing about this aircraft:

It has only 2 autopilots (two bat handles on the flight guidance panel) instead of the usual 3. And only 2 INS systems instead of the usual 3.

 

[LR25]

and the FO seat doesnt have an arm rest.

 

[Propnose]

What? No Armrest!!!

and the FO seat doesnt have an arm rest.

The main reason to upgrade to the left seat!:laugh:

You think that's bad? When Pan Am was flying a ton of these 747's, their trip legs were so long that the Captains ended up making most of the landings just to stay current.

Pan Am would have to bring some of the FO's into their home base and make them take the bird around the patch to get 3 bounces for them to stay current.

Many of the Pan Am 747 FO's were professional landing gear and radio operators.

It has only 2 autopilots (two bat handles on the flight guidance panel) instead of the usual 3. And only 2 INS systems instead of the usual 3.

2 autopilots was standard on the 100/200.
3 A/Ps for Cat III/Autoland/Rollout was an option from Boeing on the -200.

The A/C on the picture probably have 3 INS units, the third one hidden under the paperwork on the pedestal.

Have never flown one of these wiithout an armrest on any pilot's or F/E seat.
The seat option was electric or manual.
The armrest on the right seat is folded up and out of view.

Never flown an SP and could not tell the difference from this shot.

The white vertical line however rings a bell: Meh thinks the bird on the pic may be a -100, but the only way to tell for sure is from the Flap Speed Placard:
If it says 265 instead of 275 it is a -100.
