Hi,

Does anyone know what the tilt angles are on the MCP and the two forward CDUs?

Thank you,

Mariano

In the cruise, pitch approximately 2.5-3 degrees
CDU    17 degrees to horizontal
MCP    17 degrees to vertical
PFD     19 degrees to vertical
Lower EICAS 17 degrees to vertical
Centre CDU 3 degrees to horizontal

All approximate as I measured with an Android phone spirit level app
(which I did calibrate before takeoff)

Hope it is of some help

Regards
Mark
