Boeing B757 Systems Study Guide and Switch Light Training Guide (Cockpit)

Purpose:

 

The purpose of this Aviation Information Services (AIS) LLC website is to help Boeing B757 pilots connect to the Red Triangle Productions (RTP) LLC company web site to enable the pilot to find the B757 training materials and study guides.  These superlative B757 CBT digital pilot handbooks are trademarked as Visual Oral Switch-Light Guides (VOSLG).  Every pilot assigned to fly the B757 will need to understand how all the cockpit lights and switches work, and how all the airplane systems operate.  Since 1999 Red Triangle Productions LLC has created the most unique and innovative switch-light guides and system study guides ever seen in aviation.  Pilots in over 500 airlines, companies, agencies, associations and governments around the world use these Boeing B757 training guides.  Some of these aviation organizations are:  all the legacy airlines, FAA, NASA, IATA, JAA, and all major international flag carriers.  Many flight schools use these B757 system training and cockpit panel study guides.  RTP specializes in creating downloads which use Information Mapping™ to facilitate easy assimilation of the required knowledge.  They are all immediately available at:

The Boeing 757 is a mid-size, narrow-body twin-engine jet airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the manufacturer's largest narrow-body twinjet and features two turbofan engines, a supercritical wing design, and a conventional tail.  The 757 was produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 757-200 entered service in 1983, while the stretched 757-300, the longest narrow-body twinjet ever produced.  Production of the 757 ended on October 28, 2004, after 1,050 had been built.  The 757 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit featuring a single fin and rudder.  Each wing features a supercritical cross-section and is equipped with five-panel leading edge slats, single- and double-slotted flaps, an outboard aileron, and six spoilers.  The wings are swept at 25 degrees and optimized for a cruising speed of Mach 0.8 (533 mph or 858 km/h).  Many of the technologies introduced on the 757 are shared with the wide-body 767, including its auxiliary power unit, electric power systems, flight deck, and hydraulic parts.   Related design and functionality allows 757 pilots to obtain a common type rating to operate the 767.  The 757's flight deck uses six Rockwell Collins CRT screens to display flight instrumentation.   The displays are used for electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) and engine indication and crew alerting system (EICAS) information, allowing pilots to handle monitoring tasks previously performed by the flight engineer.  An enhanced flight management system, improved over versions used on existing 747 models, is fitted to automate navigation and other functions, while the inertial reference system (IRS) introduced on the 757 features laser-light gyros.  On the 757-300, the flight deck is upgraded with the addition of a Honeywell Pegasus flight management computer, enhanced EICAS, and upgraded software systems.

 

At the bottom of this page is a list of all the Boeing B757 contents in the B757 Visual Oral Switch-Light Guides™ (VOSLG).

 

“If you can move a mouse, you will Master your Boeing B757!”

 

The B757 VOSLG flows in the pattern of the typical FAA (JAA) Oral Exam that follows an initial ground school and Type Rating.  We only teach what is essential.  We spoon feed you only the necessary stuff.  We don’t explain how the B757 lavatory flushes the water.  B757 FAA Orals usually don’t ask about Flight Attendant galley fixtures.  We don’t want you to have to “unmemorize” anything, either.  Every airline has their own set of B757 checklist flows, policies, procedures, & memory items – we don’t teach it and wouldn’t be able to stay up with the changes. 

 

The Boeing B757 - Presented from the Pilot’s Perspective!!

 

The Boeing B757 interactive downloads are created for the pilot in the cockpit, not in the classroom.  We show you how to command and master the B757.  We have a special section called “How it Works” that demonstrates in many of the critical Systems, like Hydraulics, what occurs and how to handle Non-normal, Abnormal and Emergency situations all the way to a safe landing.  At each step we show how a failure or fault results in affecting all the other Systems.

 

Learn the B757 like you will fly it.

 

The VOSLGs were created using the Information Mapping™ technical writing style.  And they are in COLOR.  This is so much better than black and white pilot handbooks, ground school documents, and flight school aircraft operating manuals.  Many ground schools use old photocopied manuals passed down from and through several faded editions.  The VOSLG greatly eases and facilitates the learning and understanding of the large volume of data and information the pilot must master… and you will Master it. 

 

Why is the company called Red Triangle Productions???

 

Near every A320 item is a RED TRIANGLE.  There is no need to even click on an item.  Just put your mouse near the RED TRIANGLE and a pop-up appears explaining why the light illuminates (in COLOR) and the switch’s function.

 

Hyperlinked and interconnected – Presented as you will need to Use the B757!!

 

Many training departments use lengthy modular slides shows, some with voice-overs and recordings that cannot be silenced nor allow fast forwarding.  And you cannot just go back any specific item without going through the modules and subsets of chapters.  Not so in the VOSLGs:  everything is about one or two clicks away.  And all the data is repeated in every related place.  To the LEFT of a cockpit switch panel are the pop-ups explaining those associated aircraft systems.  To the RIGHT of the panel are hyperlinks to the respective diagrams and schematics.  The B757 System descriptions are repeated everywhere so you do not have to hunt for the information you need.  Everything where you might logically think to find and want it!!  Hyperlinks are everywhere & to anywhere.  Everything that is related is connected:  between panels, diagrams & schematics, and synoptics.  All data is interlaced.  No more searching for that single sentence about a critical item of knowledge.  All the Information is Mapped.

 

Every B757 pilot must have useful Mental Maps of the Systems.

 

The upper left corner of every sheet has a direct link to the Table of Contents (TOC).  Everything is available at the TOC.  But when in the cockpit areas, to get to a System, just to the right of the cockpit panel, are the associated hyperlinks to the respective diagrams and schematics.  In many of the Systems we illustrate numerous situations.  We show all known Normal, Abnormal, Non-normal and Emergency configurations in all the critical Systems such as Air Conditioning & Pressurization, Brakes, Electrical, Hydraulics, Flight Controls, Fuel, etc.  A picture is worth a thousand words.

 

And you can go in reverse.  Thus, from any diagram and schematic there are reverse links to any and all related cockpit switch panels and synoptic displays.  Everything is in COLOR, too!

 

Prepare early!  Command the material!  Be Relaxed & Confident!

 

In fact, one Testimonial says:  "I'm in the middle of my little bus Initial at US Air and the three weeks I studied with your program before I went to school made all the difference in the world....  I'm home on the breaks relaxing while my 3 other classmates are still in CLT banging their heads.  Thanks for a great program!" -- C. H.

Eliminate Stress – Know that You will Succeed!!


Each VOSLG© is made by a Boeing instructor pilot.  We type every letter and draw every line!  We do not copy and paste manufacturer’s production manuals.  We tear apart the paragraphs and sentences and use Information Mapping™ to reassemble the data to you can learn it by reading it just once.  Ground school and initial training, recurrent training and Type Ratings are stressful.  We remove all the unnecessary pressure.

 

We know what you Need – and NO computer skills are necessary!!

 

We are pilots - we know what you need.  Slide rule engineers with pocket-protectors are reluctantly forced at some point in production to write down “how it works” for you, the B757 pilot, who will need to fly it.  They might understand a bunch of Greek symbols on their calculators and have memorized the tenth digit of π, but they make a mess of it telling you, “the switch on the panel switches on the pump and the light is on when the pump is off unless you turned the pump off, or had a switch fault, or an over temperature and/or under pressure pump condition(s) that existed at the time a transfer of power interrupted the automatic shut down of the pump through the alternate command override except on <insert some tail numbers here> when greater than -40°C and not in ground effect.”  And they throw in a bunch of acronyms derived from a translation of a foreign language with a different alphabet.  These mysteries you might find (maybe) in various chapters, or in front of the manual, or after the index, or anywhere, or nowhere.  Now you’re confused.  Suddenly, you’re half way through ground school and you were hoping to catch up on yesterday’s confusing material, and complete that reading assignment from two days ago, and complete tomorrow’s chapters….  We know the feeling.  We put all the Acronyms in one easy place, and always identify them up front and first in the pop-ups.

 

Information Mapping™ teaches data at several level of learning simultaneously.  We use literary techniques and presentation methods that facilitate understanding in the conscious and subconscious.

 

Detail, Clarity, Concise,

B757 Differences, Options, Free Extras!!

 

Speaking of Differences – we clearly point out all DIFFERENCES so you clearly see and understand them – just like NOTES, CAUTIONS and WARNINGS!  We also include as many of the airline Options for the aircraft as we can learn about.  The website has many Free Extras sent to us by pilots, and we are always looking to add more.  If you have any B757 tips, tricks or techniques, B757 grounds school or B757 simulator training notes, or “there I was” stories, etc., then share them with us!  We have are always ready to pass on helpful B757 information!

 

SPECIAL B757 and B767 DIFFERENCES TRAINING:

 

Because some airlines also fly the B767 and these two aircraft share the same Type Rating, we show everywhere in both download where the DIFFERENCES are.  We only fully explain the specific aircraft, but we do detail with Information Mapping the other aircraft’s system enough to keep it all straight in your mind.

 

Maintain Aircraft Control – and over your career knowledge:  It is only a Mouse Click away!

 

We made these B757 Visual Oral Switch-Light Guides™ to operate on any computer. No special memory, or speeds, or processor, or any other attributes are required by your PC or laptop.  Even the computers of the last Century with Windows 3.1 OS and Microsoft Office 1995 can handle them.  MAC users can use Apple Office 11, or Parallels, or other Windows emulating programs.
