Perhaps the most "exclusive" technical section of the manual is the description of the . Unlike older planes where every system (fuel, hydraulics, lights) has its own computer, the 787 uses a centralized "brain."

Instead of using pneumatic air from the APU to start engines, the FCOM details the use of high-voltage AC electricity.

: While it maintains a "Boeing feel," the FCOM describes FBW protections that can feel like "hard" limits in certain conditions, such as max alpha protection during windshear. Essential FCOM Study Path

While the rudder trim handles the yaw, the TAC system automatically adjusts thrust to compensate for the lost engine, drastically reducing the physical rudder pressure the pilot must hold. 4. The Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and Paperless Cockpit

The FCOM outlines an intricate distribution network operating at a high voltage of 235 Volts Alternating Current (VAC):

The Flight Control System (FCS) automatically senses engine asymmetry and applies rudder input to maintain coordinated flight.

For pilots transitioning to the type, experts recommend a specific order of study to digest the technical jargon often referred to as "Seattle-style": Electrics & Hydraulics
