i always like the glass cockpit of modern airplanes. but with the introduction of the 747-8, are we expecting alot of changes to the cockpit? will the PFD, ND, MCP, FMC etc still be the same? or will it change such that pilots will have to get familiarise with new avionics? i sure hope that there's not much change if not we'll need to train in new type of sims AGAIN!

i've seen artists' impression of the 747-8 cockpit and it looks real simple and crisp clean. but they never show the avionics.

The avionics still remain unchanged. Only certain set-up are upgraded and modified. :)
Basically nothing much changed. However, pilots still have to go through simulator and different rating will be given to them!

I can't wait for the 747-8's rollout. I actually had a screensaver I got from Boeing's website, and it's quite beautiful. Makes me wish I could become a pilot.

The new plane has its avionics just spruced up. Dont expect any major upgrades.
