Something Different

hahaha, Ok, imagine this scenario...

This is the actual production cockpit on all 737 in service.

You are a senior captain with 7000hrs on this type.

You are also an instructor on this type

You are instructing your new first officer who is young, female and beautiful.

Your wife is the senior Pursor on the same flight.

You show your new FO how to use the her FMC

Your wife walks in!!!!!!!!

Now you know why the FMC is positioned on the centre pedistal and not between your FO legs!!!!

Well seeing as how 'Nut nailed it, and the rest are just variations of the same thing, I will spare the suspense and post the rest of the variants, amazing to think that if any of these were approved, how different some of our 'pits would be, dangerously close to a 'Bus as you will see. I am having trouble posting the link, so for more info. just Google, "Control Wheel Steering" and it's the third or fourth link, 'oea.lrc.nasa.gov/trailblazer, some interesting reading.
