TL;DR

The philosophy behind the flight deck design of Boeing's 757767 is outlined: by simplifying subsystem design, one can simplify control panel configurations which leads to simplified displays, which results in simplified crew procedures which is consistent with a two-crew flight deck.

Abstract

The philosophy behind the flight deck design of Boeing's 757767 is outlined: by simplifying subsystem design, one can simplify control panel configurations which leads to simplified displays. This in turn results in simplified crew procedures which is consistent with a two-crew flight deck. The development of the flight deck is described, and the details of the display systems arrived at are shown.
