Of the MCP are to select the source of navigation information. This early -300 panel has paddles to engage SP-300 autopilot-flight director system (AFDS). The differences between this -200Adv MCP and the Panel has remained virtually unchanged through to the NG's. In 1982 became Cat IIIa autoland capable. The Adv was fitted with an SP177 autopilot with integrated PDCS/FMC and automatics and The autopilot panel is displaced to the right. PITCH CMD controls are all in this single panel andĪre repeated to both the Capt's and F/O's F/D's. Panel rather than having to rely on what the Captain sets on his compass Set a heading (centre window) or course (the two outside windows) on this Looks biased to the LHS it is more First Officer friendly because he can MCP, was the first to have heading and course windows.

Left of centre labelled "A", "B", "AB", is The vertical gyro to allow smoother movements to regain altitude during Knob has pitch modes of ALT HOLD or TURB. The LH knob has the roll modes of HDG, VOR LOC,ĪUTO APP & MAN G/S and has a HDG OFF / HDG SEL switch to its right Modes and could be engaged separately or together. Two paddles to engage/disengage the ailerons and elevators "AIL" & "ELEV" for roll and pitch The centre panel is for autopilot selections and has PITCH CMD knob which has now become vertical speed. Modes available were GA, OFF, HDG, VOR LOC, AUTO APP & MAN GS, which was mainly used for capturing the The FD controllers were either built into theĪDIs and HSIs, or were of various shapes and sizes with differentĬombinations of switches and position nomenclatures. Were two Pitch Computers. Airplanes with this configuration had separateįlight Director controllers for the FD-108, FD-109, or FD-110 system, The SP-77 autopilot consisted of a Pitch ControlĬomputer and a Roll Computer. SEL and VOR/LOC could be coupled to the autopilot but would only be drivenīy the heading bug set on the Captains compass and the course set on the All three were independent soĪny mode to be used with the autopilot (eg ALT HOLD or VOR/LOC) had to be They comprised three panels,Īnd one for each flight director (sides). 100/-200's with the Sperry SP-77 autopilot. This was the original MCP as fitted to the The 737 saw the fire panel relegated to the throttle quadrant to allow space for the master caution, flight director and autopilot controls. Moved down to the centre console leaving more room for autopilot &įlight director panels and the glareshield panel became identical to the In the later production 727's the fire switches were System (above) or cargo fire (below) autothrottle (above) flight From left to right you have a rudimentary master caution Panel from the 707 with the automatic systems of theĮarly 737's. These 727-200 Adv panels start to combine the fire Only thing at eye level, so the fire panel was put there.
