/images/notams/notams20/coun0716.jpgGive me a minute to write some words about the cockpitpanel. Because there had been trouble about the configuration. Due tomy researches about this fascinating aircraft I met retired DC 10pilots and aircraft mechanics, I looked for literature and Web pagesto find a clear answer to the question which cockpit layout is thecorrect once. And yes, indeed, the only correct layout for exact thisDC 10-30 is the complete analog one! Now some of you may disagreebecause they saw so many pictures of a glass cockpit titled "DC10-30". This is wrong and a hard error of the author/photographer!Why? Because this glass cockpit layout is manufactured by Boeing afterthey bought McDonnell Douglas in 1996. The three person layout of theDC 10 was a very big reason for customers not to buy this aircraftbecause of the costs. And that’s why Boeing’s first action with thisplane was to retrofit it with a 2 person cockpit and call thisaircraft “MD 10†from now on. And the only customer they found forthis aircraft was Federal Express. 3 of them still are operated byFEDEX in 2020.
