, such as electrical, hydraulic, and fuel systems, often using diagrams to explain logic. 3. Key Technical Chapters Description Limitations Certification
Detailed technical overviews of the aircraft's "nervous system," including the Common Core System (CCS) and advanced fly-by-wire controls. Key Systems Covered
The 787 uses (no hydraulic pressure for brakes). The FCOM details the "Brake Temperature Monitoring System." Crucially, it explains the different cooling times for carbon brakes versus steel. This chapter is vital for operational turnarounds.
Essential mechanical systems and their electronic interfaces. Supplementary Manuals
The Boeing 787 FCOM is a detailed document that provides flight crews with the necessary information to operate the 787 safely and efficiently. The manual is divided into several sections, each covering a specific aspect of aircraft operation. The main sections of the 787 FCOM include:
| ATA | System | 787 unique features | |-----|--------|----------------------| | 21 | Air Conditioning | – Cabin Air Compressors (CACs), ram air via NACA inlets | | 24 | Electrical | 4 primary starter/generators (SG) on engines; no bleed air, no pneumatics | | 27 | Flight Controls | Common Control System (CCS) – Fly-by-wire with envelope protection (but unlike Airbus, it’s “augmented stability” not full envelope protection in all axes) | | 29 | Hydraulics | Two systems (L, C) – no R system; electric-motor-pumps (EMPs) | | 30 | Ice & Rain | Electro-thermal engine inlet & wing anti-ice (no bleed air) | | 31 | Indicating | EICAS (not ECAM) – but with advanced synoptic pages | | 32 | Landing Gear | Electric steering – no hydraulic steering | | 34 | Navigation | GPS + IRS + ADIRS – dual FMS | | 45 | Diagnostic | Central Maintenance System (CMS) – real-time fault logging |
