Title: Flight Engineers on the 767 Post by passeur on May 27th, 2012 at 11:56am
Hello everybody!
I recently found that some 767-200 were flown by three men crews, it happened in Australia with Ansett. It seems the CEO promised the pilots union that there would always be a Flight Engineer on aircrafts carrying more than 120 passengers and Ansett required Boeing to modify the 767 cockpit to include a Flight Engineer station. here is a video shot from the jumpseat of one of these 767 in 1987: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f44oPPEYCE&feature=fvst To me it's an interesting sight as I always thought that one of the aim of the 767 was to eliminate the need for a Flight Engineer. Anyone knows if a similar thing happened with the 757? PS : I hope it's not a repost |
