Hey all,

Just wondering, but what does the screen seen just above the throttle quadrant display (in between the FMCs)? Is that where you see the "range" of the control surfaces and perhaps additional engine information?

Here is the link: B737 Cockpit

Thanks in advance

Not a 737 pilot, but...

My best guess is that's a multi-function display that is able to display a whole range of aircraft systems including flight controls, hydraulics, environmental, etc. There's more likely a control panel somewhere in there that controls what's displayed on that screen.

I does look like the flight control page in the photo...
 
Not a 737 pilot either, but have some knowledge of the panels.

I believe that the 2 buttons to the 7 oclock of the Auto Brake selector are the ENG and SYS push button switches for the Lower MFD. I also think that what's being currently displayed is the Flight Control Status.
 
What is white tab/lever on the left hand side of the throttle and what does it do?
Also I see the flap lever to lower notches of flaps on the right side of the throttle.
But where is the lever to lower the leading edge slats located in the cockpit/flightdeck?

The speedbrake handle or the white marking on the trim wheel?

"Flaps 1" in a Boeing is somewhat equivalent to the "Slats Extend/Flaps 0" (or whatever it's called) position in a DC-9/MD-80.
 
The white tab closer to you on the left side is the parking brake, and the one further up (the long one) is the speed brakes. As far as the leading edge slats, those get deployed automatically with flaps.
 
You're right. Those are the MFD controls. However, in that configuration all of the engine instruments are displayed on the upper screen. The bottom screen is used soley as a backup. Southwest and Continental have their 737NGs configured like this. They say it makes an easier transition from the classics (-300s and -500s). If the top screen fails. All of that data would be transfered to the lower screen.
