Because the 757-200 was developed alongside the wide-body 767, the FCOM for both aircraft is remarkably similar, allowing pilots to obtain a to operate either model. Purpose and Scope
: Step-by-step instructions for everyday operations, from "Cold and Dark" cockpit setups—initializing the Inertial Reference System (IRS) and setting bus ties to Auto—to shutdown.
The manual is typically divided into two main volumes to manage the vast amount of technical data: Volume 1: Procedures and Performance Boeing 757-200 Flight Crew Operations Manual
This volume provides a deep dive into the mechanical and electronic "DNA" of the 757-200:
: It acts as a primary reference during initial transition training and as a review guide for periodic proficiency checks. Core Manual Structure Because the 757-200 was developed alongside the wide-body
: Critical data for fuel planning, cruise speeds (typically Mach 0.80 ), and descent profiles. Volume 2: Aircraft Systems
The is a comprehensive technical guide designed to provide flight crews with the necessary operating limitations, procedures, and systems information required for safe and efficient aircraft operation. Core Manual Structure : Critical data for fuel
This volume focuses on how to physically operate the aircraft through various flight phases. Key chapters include:
