   |  Unknown screen in 744 near footwell? I was looking as some 747-400 cockpit shots and noticed that some of them have a little screen near both pilots rudder footwells, to the left of the capt, right of FO, other airlines simply have a storage bin in that spot, can anyone tell me what that screen would be used for? Thanks |

| Re: Unknown screen in 744 near footwell? To keep the flies out when the window is open?  Sorry. Couldn't resist. Should have, though.  Don't know the answer to your question, either. |

| Re: Unknown screen in 744 near footwell? Weather Radar. If you look at an older 747-200 pic, you'll see the same thing, I bet. Now...I would assume that you would get a weather radar display on your "Nav Screen". That would be one of the big screens and would show position info, sort of like a moving map. That's where we get wx radar info on the 757/767. So....I don't know why you would need a separate screen for weather radar in a high tech 747-400, but that's what I'm guessing it is. When I was a kid, like in the late 1970's, I had this big blow up poster of a 747-200 cockpit. The weather radar screen was in a same spot as your questionable screen. |

| Re: Unknown screen in 744 near footwell? It's the CDCC -- Chemtrail Dispersion Control Console. Pretty self-explanatory. |
