If they want to get fancy, they could give the -300 triple autopilot channels, in which case it would have the following:įFRATS style 'Barrel' FPD (Triple AP 4-column type) Non-FFRATS, Dual AP, style 'light cap' FPD No EPRL computer installed (Thrust & EPR Limits set manually according to charts)įFRATS style 'Barrel' FPD (Dual AP 3-column type) The way I think would be most representative of most fleets and the progression of technology would be as follows:

Without these slight variations, there is not much difference between the -100 & -200, for instance. This will be a good way to make the different variants 'feel' different to the simmer. Yes, they have mentioned some variations will come to the 747! I posted about the FPD a while ago, and they responded that they will be brining in one of the newer style 'barrel' FPDs as an option.
