Boeing 757-200/300
Airplane General - Dimensions
Overhead Panel
Landing Lights
Taxi Light
One taxi light is installed on the steerable portion of the nose landing
gear. The light is inoperative when the nose landing gear is not down
and locked.
Flight Deck Lighting
Logo Lights
Logo lights are located on the stabilizer to illuminate the logo on the
vertical tail surface.
Navigation (Position) Lights
The navigation lights are standard red (left forward wingtip), green
(right forward wingtip) and white (aft tip of both wings) position
lights.
Red Anti-Collision Lights
The red anti-collision lights are strobe lights located on the top and
bottom of the fuselage.
Cargo Doors
There are two Cargo Doors; one forward and one aft. Both doors
are located on the right side of the airplane. The cargo doors
cannot be opened unless the Ground Handling Bus is powered by
either the APU or External power
Access Doors
• Access to the forward equipment bay and the electronics bay is
provided in the forward lower fuselage. If either door is not closed
and locked, the ACCESS DOORS light on the overhead panel
illuminates and the EICAS advisory message FWD ACCESS DOOR or
E/E ACCESS DOOR displays. If both doors are open, the advisory
message ACCESS DOORS appears.
Oxygen Systems
Flight Crew Oxygen System
• The Flight Crew Oxygen System uses quick-donning masks and
regulators located at each crew station. Oxygen pressure is
displayed on the lower EICAS status display.
• Flight Crew and observer masks and regulators are installed in
Oxygen mask panels near each seat. Squeezing the red oxygen
mask release levers releases the mask from the stowage. Removing
the mask:
• inflates the mask harness
• momentarily displays the yellow oxygen flow indicator.
• Place the mask over the head and release the levers. The harness
will contract fitting the mask to the head and face.
Oxygen Cylinder
• The crew oxygen system supplies each crew station with oxygen from a
pressurized cylinder on the right side of the forward cargo compartment.
There is a cylinder shutoff valve, an oxygen pressure indicator, a thermal
relief port, a pressure regulator connection, and an external fill port on the
neck of each cylinder. Overboard Vent
• If the crew oxygen cylinder becomes over-pressurized, a thermal relief disk
on the cylinder neck breaks. The high pressure oxygen flows through an
overboard vent line to the overboard vent. When pressure in the vent line
reaches about 500 psi, a green disk in the overboard vent is blown out and
the oxygen is vented to the air. The disk is held in place by a snap-ring. The
overboard vent is just aft of the forward cargo door on the lower right side
of the fuselage. The green disk is easily seen during the pre-flight check.

Oxygen Flow Indicator
Shows a yellow cross when oxygen flowing.
RESET/TEST Switch
PUSH - With the left door closed and the Oxygen ON indicator not,
turns Oxygen ON momentarily to test regulator.
Normal/100% Switch
N - Supplies an Air/Oxygen mixture on demand (the ratio depends
on cabin altitude).
100% - Supplies 100% Oxygen on demand.
Oxygen Mask Emergency/Test Selector
ROTATE - Supplies 100% oxygen under positive pressure at all cabin
altitudes (protects against smoke and harmful vapours).
PRESS TO TEST - Tests the positive pressure supply to the regulator.
Passenger Oxygen System
Passenger Cabin Signs
The passenger cabin signs are controlled by overhead panel selectors.
FASTEN SEAT BELTS
AUTO : The FASTEN SEAT BELTS signs illuminate if:
Landing Gear not up and locked, or Flap Lever not UP, or Cabin
Altitude above 10,000 ft or Passenger Oxygen ON
NO SMOKING
• AUTO : The NO SMOKING signs illuminate if:
• Landing Gear not up and locked or Cabin Altitude above 10,000 ft
or Passenger Oxygen ON
Note:
• All passenger signs can be controlled manually
by positioning the respective selector to ON or
OFF.
• Note: Anytime Passenger Oxygen is deployed,
the NO SMOKING and FASTEN SEAT BELTS
illuminate and RETURN TO SEAT signs
extinguish, regardless of selector position.
Flight Deck Door
Remote Access Panel
After the code has been
entered, an amber LED will
illuminate and a buzzer will
sound on the flight deck.
The amber LED will extinguish
and the green LED will then
illuminate on the access panel,
indicating door unlocked.
FLT DK DOOR SWITCH
• LOCK FAIL - illuminates when lock solenoid is
not electrically powered.
• AUTO UNLK - illuminates when timer
operation is activated by either deny entry or
incapacitation.
• The door weighs approximately 36 Kg
Cockpit Door Surveillance System
The CDSS System consists of the following components:
• One LCD monitor in the cockpit.
• Three wide angle viewing cameras with integral light for
viewing in darkness.
• System control unit.
• On-Off switch on the overhead panel.
• cabin ready switch located adjacent to Door L1.

EICAS Messages
Fire Protection SYSTEM
• There are Fire detection and extinguishing
systems for the:
• Engines
• APU
• Cargo Compartments
• Lavatories
Engine Fire Protection
Engine Fire Protection consists of these systems:
• Engine Fire and Overheat Detection.
• Engine Fire Warning and Overheat Caution.
• Engine Fire Extinguishing.
Engine Fire and Overheat Detection
Engine Fire Warning
The indications of an engine fire warning are:
• The fire bell sounds .
• The master WARNING lights illuminate.
• The Engine Fire Switch LEFT or RIGHT fire warning light
illuminates.
• The discrete FIRE warning light illuminates.
• The engine FUEL CONTROL switch fire warning light
illuminates.
• The EICAS warning message L/R ENGINE FIRE displays.
• The engine fire switch unlocks.
The fire warning lights remain illuminated as
long as the fire signal exists. The fire bell may
be silenced by any of the following actions:
• Extinguishing the fire.
• Pushing either Master WARNING/CAUTION
Reset Switch.
• Pulling the appropriate fire switch.
• The fire warning bell rings intermittently for 2
seconds on, then 3 seconds off.
Engine Fire Extinguishing
When the fire switch is pulled out
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The Engine Fuel valves are shutoff
The Engine Bleed Valves are closed
The Generator is tripped off
The Hydraulic fluid is shutoff
The fire extinguisher is armed
The fire alarm bell is silenced
The Thrust Reverser is deactivated
• Rotating the fire switch in either direction
discharges a single extinguisher bottle into the
associated engine. Rotating the engine fire
switch in the other direction discharges the
remaining extinguisher bottle into the same
engine.
Lavatory Fire Protection
• Lavatory fire protection consists of these
systems:
• lavatory fire detection.
• lavatory waste container fire extinguishing.
Lavatory Fire Detection
Each lavatory has a single smoke detector. If smoke is detected:
An aural alert (chime) sounds in the lavatory and in the cabin the
lavatory call light flashes
The master call light at the associated flight attendant station
illuminates
The LAV SMOKE Light illuminates and the EICAS advisory message
LAVATORY SMOKE displays when smoke is detected in any lavatory.
Lavatory Fire Extinguishing
• Each lavatory has a fire extinguisher located in
the waste container cabinet. Fire extinguisher
operation is automatic. There is no flight deck
indication.
Warning Systems
The Warning System consists of
• two flight deck warning speakers,
• two master WARNING lights
• two stick shaker motors, controlled by a
Warnings Electronics Unit.
