Title: Pratt and Whitney vs. General Electric
Post by aal763 on Jul 13^th, 2009 at 3:03pm

Does the CS 767 model performance differences between the GE and PW models. �And also does the upper EICAS display change based on the type of engine. �With GE engines N1 and EGT are the only two engine parameters displayed on the upper �EICAS display. �On the PW engines, EPR, N1, and EGT are displayed on the upper EICAS display.

With GE Engines

Shouldn't the GE Model have the N1 and EGT gauges only on the upper EICAS (not the EPR)?

I only found out after buying the product and firing up the 767 for the first time that the upper EICAS showed EPR when in fact the GE version only has N1, N2 and EGT. I hope they correct this mistake in 1.1 when they release the PW version, as the PW should only have the EPR indication in addition to N1, N2 and EGT, not GE.

Oh yeah, and the FF indicators! :D

BTW, I wonder if Captain Sim is going to do the RB211 version? Even though I believe that only the -300ER has that as an engine option, it would complete the range of engine options for the 767-300ER besides the GE and the PW.

Yes, I agree with 767er91. �It would be nice to see the RB211 on the upcoming Qantas and British Airways 767's coming in service pack 1.1. �Well said 767er91.

Robert :)
