787 Fcom Exclusive -

The 787 introduces several operational paradigms that are documented exclusively in its specific FCOM and Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM):

: The manual is frequently updated to address emerging safety concerns. For instance, recent versions emphasize procedures related to the Mode Control Panel (MCP)

Environmental Control: Insights into how the 787 maintains a lower cabin altitude (6,000ft) and higher humidity to reduce jet lag. Summary of the 787 FCOM Advantage

  1. Fatigue Management: The 787 FCOM emphasizes the aircraft's ability to fly farther and longer than any previous twin-engine jet. The procedures for Crew Alerting and the Crew Rest facilities are integrated directly into the normal operations, acknowledging that ultra-long-haul is standard operations, not an exception.
  2. The Diagnostics: The 787’s Central Maintenance Computer (CMC) is vastly more powerful than older models. The FCOM guides pilots through a "maintenance-first" philosophy—understanding that the data you input in-flight goes straight to engineering teams on the ground before you even land.
