Study Notes

Emergency Exits and Safety Equipment

  • The B737 has a total of 10 emergency exits: 2 cockpit windows, forward and aft passenger doors, 4 over-wing exits, and 2 catering doors.
  • There is 1 crash axe located in the cockpit.
  • A requirement of 2 megaphones is essential for safety.

Capacity and Crew Configuration

  • The B737 can accommodate 189 passengers: 87 in Zone 1 and 102 in Zone 2.
  • The flight crew consists of 2 members: a Captain (Pilot in Command) and a First Officer.
  • A minimum of 4 flight attendants is required for passenger safety.

Cargo and Oxygen Systems

  • The aircraft has 4 cargo areas: 2 located forward and 2 located aft.
  • There are 2 oxygen systems: one for passengers and another for the cockpit crew.

Flight Control Overview

  • Primary flight controls include elevators (pitch control), ailerons (roll control), and rudders (yaw control).
  • Secondary flight controls consist of flaps, leading edge devices (LEDs), and spoilers, which aid in lift during takeoff and landing.

Flight Control Functions

  • Flaps and LEDs increase lift for takeoff and landing.
  • Spoilers are not used during takeoff as they reduce lift and are utilized during an aborted takeoff.
  • In-flight, spoilers disable lift, allowing for descent; maximum deployment speed is 320 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS).

Performance Parameters

  • The maximum Mach number for the B737 is .82.
  • The maximum operating altitude is 41,000 feet, commonly referred to as service ceiling.
  • The maximum tailwind component for takeoff and landing is 10 knots. The maximum field elevation for these maneuvers is 8,400 feet.

Operating Conditions

  • Operating temperature limits range from a maximum of 54°C to a minimum of -54°C.
  • Maximum crosswind components for landing are 33 knots, or up to 36 knots with winglets.
  • Runway slope limitations for the B737 are +/- 2%.

Weight Specifications

  • The maximum structural takeoff weight is 174,200 lbs (174,700 lbs including average taxi fuel of 500 lbs).
  • The maximum landing weight is 144,000 lbs.
  • Maximum zero fuel weight is 136,000 lbs, which excludes fuel weight.

Hydraulic Systems Overview

  • The B737 has 3 hydraulic systems: A system, B system, and Standby system.
  • Each hydraulic system (A and B) includes 2 pumps: one engine-driven and one electric pump.
  • The Standby hydraulic system utilizes a single electric pump.

Hydraulic System Components

  • The A hydraulic system operates elevators, ailerons, landing gear, alternate brakes, rudder, nose wheel steering, inboard flight spoilers, and thrust reverser #1.
  • The B hydraulic system controls yaw damper, elevators, ailerons, rudder, outboard spoilers, flaps, brakes, autoslats, LEDs, and landing gear (retract only).
  • The Standby hydraulic system manages the rudder, LEDs, standby yaw damper, and thrust reversers #1 and #2.

Backup Systems

  • The B737 has a backup for nose-wheel steering.
  • If the A hydraulic system fails, landing gear can be manually cranked down, allowing it to free fall.
