The Secondary Engine Instruments These instruments indicate the status of the oil system in the engines, with oil quantity, temperature and pressure gauges provided. The lowest row is a row of N2 RPM gauges, included to allow the flight engineer to monitor the engine thrust setting. |
The Fuel Panel Each engine has its own fuel tank, and there is also a central fuel tank. Reserve tanks are available for the outer two engines
NB: Due to FS restrictions, the outer main tanks are denoted AUX in the Fuel dialog box, and the reserve tanks are MAIN (MSFS always empties AUX tanks before MAIN tanks). The inner wing fuel tanks are denoted CENTER 2 and CENTER 3. |

Air Conditioning and Pressurization The low-bypass JT3D engines used on the Boeing 707-320B and -320C only have limited air bleed capability, insufficient for pressurization except at high power rating. For this reason, the 707-320B and -320C have 3 turbocompressors, driven by engines 2, 3 and 4. The American Airlines 707-323C lacks the engine 4 turbocompressor. The 707-700's CFM56 engines have much more powerful air bleeds, and thus are not equipped with any turbocompressors.
