At times some carriers have dropped the word MAX from the name. The aircraft get longer with ascending numbers: MAX 8, MAX 9, and the longest being the MAX 10. For MAX jets, the shortest in the family is the MAX 7.
#AIRBUS COCKPIT REGISTER SERIES#
737 MAX: The naming of this series of 737s took a departure from previous generations, using single digits rather than triple (just like the 787 family).Unlike the numbering of the Classic series, each ascending number corresponds to a further stretch of the 737, with the -900 being the longest of the NG aircraft.
#AIRBUS COCKPIT REGISTER UPDATE#
The -600 was an update to the short -500 and is the smallest of the NG series. The -400 was a stretch of the -300, but slightly counterintuitively, the -500 is a shrunken version of the -300. The -200 is a lengthened version of the -100. Here is how the generations and series divide: The 737 family of aircraft began with the -100 but has gone all the way up to the -900. The 737 family is the most interesting case for designation variations as each generation has had several series. The series numbers tend to indicate two general differentiators: Aircraft size and aircraft generation. These three numbers represent the series within the model. Most often, up until recent times, three digits have been added. These are the DFBW aircraft and they have the same cockpit layout, as that of the A320.For all Boeing commercial families, a hyphen follows the model. The A321 (which entered service 1994) and the A319 share cockpit layout and crew-type rating.ġ993 The A340 and A330 enter service. Display functions are transferable in case of screen failure. Two large-screen ECAM displays are vertically mounted on the centre panel: the upper screen displays engine data and warnings, while the lower shows systems status. Four laterally positioned, large-screen, EFIS displays, two-per-pilot with the PFD outboard of the ND, completely replace E-M flight instruments, except the standby set. It has extensive automatic flight-envelope protection. This is the world's first digital fly-by-wire (DFBW) airliner, with side-sticks instead of a control column. The flight deck is the same as for the A300-600, with crew type-rating commonality.ġ988 A320 enters service. There is electrical signaling for control of flaps, slats and spoilers/lift-dumpers.
A revolutionary two-screen electronic centralised aircraft monitor (ECAM) presents systems status and mode diagrammatically, according to flight phase or situation - or as selected - and presents warnings in words. It has a FFCC/DQC with four-screen electronic flight-instrument system (EFIS), consisting of a primary flight display (PFD) and navigation display (ND) for each pilot (the PFD is located above ND), but a full-size E-M airspeed indicator, altimeter, VOR/ADF and vertical-speed-indicator flank the PFD and ND in their traditional positions. When there are no failures, there are no distractions.ġ983 A310 enters service. In the DQC, selector-switch lights turn off, when a system is switched on and illuminate, when the system is switched off or fails, so inoperative/failed systems are highly visible.
