<h4>Fly-By-Wire System</h4>
<p>The <i>Digital Avionics Handbook</i> is a collection of articles written by experts and edited by Carl Spitzer and others.</p>
<p>The version pictured to the right is the Third Edition released in 2014. The previous edition simply called <i>The Avionics Handbook</i> was published in 2000 and is out of print. However, both editions include a chapter on <i>Boeing B-777: Fly-By-Wire Flight Controls</i> by Gregg F. Bartley of Boeing (2nd Ed) and the Federal Aviation Administration (3rd Ed).</p>
<p>The Boeing 777 is the first commercial aircraft manufactured by Boeing which employed a Fly-By-Wire Primary Flight Control System, and the description given in this book is comprehensive.</p>
<p>Other chapters in both the second and third editions are also valuable for an understanding of the avionics technologies used during the same period that the Boeing 777 was developed and produced.</p>

<p>The Safety Investigation Report includes a description of Honeywell/Racal (Honeywell/Thales) MCS-6000 SATCOM Units - Section 1.9.5 1) Satellite Communications System Description.
