I'm so grateful for this video. I was just about to list my 767s on Craigslist but not anymore
Ha!!
😂😂😂
Sold!!! I will be over next week with my 757 and 767.
Please don't cut in ln line when you show up because many people have been camped out for weeks waiting.. lol
me watching this knowing i cant afford a 1990 honda civic
LMAO!

Its Great how these amazing beasts of the sky can still fly and serve for another decade
It's good to hear about the instrument panel upgrades that are available for those 2 great aircraft.
Wow if i had a real Boeing 757 or 767 then i would definately go for this upgrade 👍
757 one of the best aircraft today. Boeing should never have stopped producing these aircraft. Better to have made the 757MAX. Think about it.
👍👍👍. 9-6-21
Boeing has made so many mistakes post year 2000. 757/767/777 was peak Boeing. After that, they have started to decline.
@@medviation Major decline. Airbus will take over the aviation industry. So sad.
I thought about it, and there's so many reasons why it's not viable. And that's even before including boeing's corporate greed.
the civic gonna look fresh and clean
Nice and interesting movie.Great and good ideas.Thank you from Moscow , I am a captain B-763.
Awesome avionics! 👏🏻👏🏻🤩
Very cool!
That's fantastic
Can I get an LDS on my 2003 Honda civic? It has another 10 years TBO.
But seriously, 100lb weight savings on the nose is noticeable, esp with trim at low weights.
767 greatest airplane ever made, prove me wrong!
757
767 AND 757
@@mattiagnagno757 agree but the 757 is more special.
@@arielsegal7515 they are siblings, it is possible to love them both equally. But it's reassuring to have the widebody for extra drag when executing a forward-slip

767 is my baby
767's come out the factory with with the LCD's.
only the 400 did. the 300 has the same panel as the 757
There has been an upgrade to the older design called MAUI. Mid-life Avionics Upgrade Initiative. This mod has been out for approx 10 years. I was working for AA as a contract mech when this mod came out. This LDS system is more advanced. The younger right seaters and mechs seem to adapt much better to the digital than us older types.
I know the feeling. I flew all of my hours on steam gauges. Now it’s Garmin Glass for even older aircraft. It would be nice if some company could come up with engine retrofits that are economical for some of the early GII and Lears.
Looks great, but working with the engineering department to decide what the pilots need seems interesting.
Sweet
Odd that the centre screen is always blank on the right side. That means 1/6 of screen real estate is unavailable.
Has any airlines bit on this upgrade or any freight carriers? I thought I saw a video Icelandic Air did theirs.
Someone missed the thumbs up click area of this video.
Those will be Airbus fans
@@bmused55 or people who thought this would be a conversion video instead of a piece of marketing meant for the procurement & maint. divisions of airlines. I want to see the actual work, not some made up acronyms and buzzwords to impress the bean counters played over stock footage you can find by searching for 'office', 'engineering' 'boeing' and a touch of some of their own footage... I mean really, calling a meeting a TIM?
Did my last two years on LDS 76's - looks good but the only smart thing was the ability to preset altimeter.
I like analog + glass hybrid
1:26 That HUD looks like CGI/simulator. Is this actually a viable option as part of the upgrade?
is this a dream?
yeah ill be over with my 767-300er next week
Ho for a push for future 757 or 767 upgrade for cockpit display LCD
Icelandair have this in their 757s
To retrofit/upgrade a 757-200 with all the bells & whistles, what price range can one expect if Collins/L2 does the complete install?
45k
@@iLoveBoysandBerries that seems rather inexpensive, actually.
@@iLoveBoysandBerries a simple garmin 1000 is over 400,000. I think this will be well north of a million
@@gsmith4151 A G1000 costs more than $400k, but the half-million edition comes with a free C172.
I have flown both systems extensively and found the tiny little VSI a big drawback, 14000 hours on 757/767
I hear you. Put the digital readout in your scan instead of the little needle. You'll get used to it. Now you know what the guys flying the 72 felt like when they transitioned to 80's generation aircraft. An endless circle...
It's an improvement in that it's lighter and more reliable, but a step backwards in useful interface with the pilot.I noticed both in the airplane also during simulator sessions pilots were less accurate especially in the final 1000 feet to TD
Is there a similar scheme to upgrade the 747 displays? Or are the 747’s already considered “modern”? The flight deck of the 747, to me at least, is looking a bit old and tired now. A beautiful bird of course, but the drivers seat is looking past it’s prime.
Even in the -8 versions? I thought Boeing did an upgrade to resemble the 777/787 flight deck.
@@Subgunman nah they dumbed the -8 down so -400 pilots only have to do a differences course. I know I’m one of em.
Imho it’s DEFINITELY due an upgrade. Especially that FMS.
So basically those new 767 for cargo airlines will automatically have this avionics?
Yes the 767's Boeing produces now automatically come with new avionics.
Wait they still make the 767? I thought they stopped production!
@@jrcadventures2905 only for the freighter variant
@@jrcadventures2905 yes for freighter and military
NOW i can get my 767 updgraded! How much?
are these displays used on brand new 767 from factory?
I hear they are, and the KC-767 has a 787 style cockpit.
Upgrade the 744 to be more like a 787 flt deck
I like the idea, BUT!!! MAYBE replacing a small standalone attitude indicator with an equally small standalone electronic one is not a good idea. You win absolutely nothing but it can be a great WORKING tool in case of full cabin blackout.
The standby mini-PFD has a battery in it that lasts about 15 hours (not sure of the exact figure, but a long time). Kind of like a re-chargeable watch battery. So in the event of a complete blackout, you have the mini-PFD running on its own standalone built in battery. If you can’t get down in 15 hours, you’ve got bigger problems. Plus you probably won’t have fuel for 15 hours anyway. The standalone mini-PFD is a tried and tested bit of kit and is in most aircraft today.
I will ask my AME department if our 757/767 fleet has begun transitioning to LDS.
The wiring, data bus, and fiber optics is a nightmare to install correctly the 1st time.
How much? and is the 757 included?
I want to fly in a 757
if the 757x and 767x existed
Now old guys like me can read the panel without leaning forward?
What is LRU?
line replaceable unit. its a part that can be quickly and easily replaced at the flightline rather than requiring a hangar trip
That avionics are good during the day, but in the night is so difficult to see, because of the bad contrast if you put down the brightness down. The horizon and flightdirector are so small, you need glasses to see from you normal position in the seat. And the speedvector is oversensitive, so it jumpes up and down all the time if it‘s bumpy. Many our pilots hate those new avionics! This is a view of a 75 skipper.
If you need glasses just to see the flight director I’m not sure you should have your medical
Our company upgraded our Saab screens to LCD. Look amazing at full brightness but we have the same issue with the contrast when the screens are turned down. Ironically, their brighter at their lowest setting than the CRTs. The CRTs would leave the flight director a little brighter than the horizon when they were turned down. Still, happy to see something new up there.
You should be contacting your technical reps and advise what the issues are so they can correct the issues.
@@PatrickJWenzel Hopefully they're already working with Samsung to get OLED displays for the next generation. Lower power, and they don't light the whole screen like an LCD, they light the individual pixels, making the blacks wayyyyyyyy blacker. Goodbye edge bleed, contrast issues, all of it. Hoping for you guys
I guess it's Garmin & a dipstick.
Definitely thought this would be a video of the process, not a piece of marketing. Also I thought LDS was a bit superfluous of an acronym, but then then you go and call your meetings TIMs. What a weird video. Who is this for? Surely the chief pilots of the world's airlines are already aware of such services
nice someone tell delta
Replacing B757 fleet with A321 and B767 with A330 new is better and more efficient choose 😊 Airbus is leading the narrow and short to medium range aircraft
Facts
Between the POS airbus and the 57? No competition I'd turn wrenches on my beloved 757 before I'd deal with the crapbus any day one look at an MEL list tells which ones more reliable

Has former President Trump signed up for the cockpit revamp?
