 This is your chance to hop aboard, strap
in and experience the thrill of taking command
of a true aviation legend.
But before you do that, you'll need to
study this cockpit guide and notes. For its time,
the B707 is a complex aeroplane to manage
with many systems to monitor. To operate it
properly and get the most from it, you need to
understand how these systems work and why.
Engine starts and systems management is critical
if you intend to fly long distances. The engines
are started in a specific order because not all are
fitted with the accessories required to power up
hydraulics and air conditioning, generators and
other equipment.

We are not going to use this guide to
teach you how to fly but will point out some of
the 707’s unique features and foibles along the
way. So, let's get started with a guide to the vari-
