Developing a feature for a Boeing 787 Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM) typically refers to creating software tools that translate technical data into digestible, actionable content for pilots. The most prominent example is the 787 Guide, developed by Johan Lindstrom, which simplifies "Seattle-style" technical jargon into intuitive overviews and interactive tools. Core Feature Concepts for 787 FCOM Apps

• Description and operation of:
• Performance: Data and charts for:
  1. Introduction: Provides an overview of the 787 aircraft, its systems, and the FCOM's purpose.
  2. Normal Procedures: Outlines standard operating procedures for normal flights, including pre-flight, takeoff, cruise, and landing phases.
  3. Abnormal Procedures: Describes procedures for handling abnormal situations, such as system failures, malfunctions, or unexpected events.
  4. Emergency Procedures: Details emergency procedures for situations like engine failure, decompression, or fire.
  5. Aircraft Systems: Provides detailed information on the 787's systems, including electrical, hydraulic, and fuel systems.

  ATA 24: Electrical Power (The "More Electric" Airplane)

  This is the longest section in the 787 FCOM. Because the airplane has no bleed air, engine-driven generators (EDGs) produce over 1,000 kVA. Key FCOM topics: 787 fcom

  The "No-Bleed" Systems Architecture: Traditional aircraft use compressed air from the engines to power air conditioning and wing anti-ice. The 787 FCOM details how these systems are now electrically driven, significantly improving fuel efficiency but changing how pilots manage engine starts and environmental controls.

  2. The "QRH" vs. "FCOM"

  On the 787, the distinction is:

  In the world of modern aviation, the transition from a qualified pilot to a type-rated 787 captain hinges on one singular, authoritative document: the 787 FCOM (Flight Crew Operations Manual). For pilots stepping into the revolutionary composite-skinned airliner, the FCOM is more than a manual—it is the legal and technical foundation of every flight. Description and operation of:
