767 Pilots
Hey guys, I'm doing a presentation on the Boeing 767 for my transport category aircraft systems course at UND. If any of you all have flown the 767, could you please help me out a little? I need to make the presentation interesting to pilots. I have a set of manuals for the 767 that I'm getting my systems info from. I was just wondering what those of you who fly or have flown the 767 would put in the presentation? Not looking for anything in particular, just some interesting facts or something you love/hate about the airframe.
Thanks for the help,
Rob

One more thing! I forgot to mention that the course is structured around the CRJ-200. We get bonus points if we can make correlations to the CRJ so that it is easier for the class to comprehend and make connections. So if any of you also flew the CRJ-200, that'd be helpful to me as well!
Thanks,
Rob

I don't know how much detail you want to go into but here are a few things that you might compare.
Both airplanes have three hydraulic systems. Compare the primary pump/demand pump system on the B767 to the On/Auto system on the CRJ.
The CRJ-200 uses 10th stage for PACKs and 14th stage for anti-ice without the ability for the high-pressure bleed to supplement the low-pressure bleed as does the B767. Which system is better? Which is simpler to operate?
CRJ has the flight plan log on the nav display and system synoptic pages. 767 doesn't.

From: B-757/767 Capt.
They may find a performance comparison interesting.
The 767 is impressive on short field operations. Probably comparable to the CRJ. I've never been anywhere in a Lear (my former life) that I wouldn't be more comfortable in a 76!
If you want me to look up a few examples for you, let me know.

Here's a little 767 gem (design flaw?) that I always found interesting:
If you were unfortunate enough to have a total electrical failure - both generators fried and down to battery power only, you would basically have the life of the battery to extend the landing gear...around 30mins or so. No electricity, no landing gear extension. The reason is that the up locks release needs electricity to release.
Definitely a rare scenario but an interesting study.
Good luck with your presentation. The 767 is one of the finest aircraft Boeing ever built and a joy to fly.
