What is the course selector in a boieng 737?

Originally Answered: What is the "course selector" in Boieng 737? Course selector is not only on B-737 but can be found on older generation aircraft too. If the pilot has been given an instruction to turn on to a new heading, he uses an appropriate knob to put a 'cursor' on the new heading that is needed.

Is there a landing chart for the B737?

Reading landing charts is covered by other documentation. Pay additional attention that the B737 Flight Crew Training manual (FCTM) provides additional notes for takeoff speeds. The FCOM and FMC computed takeoff speeds are only valid for performance, based on balanced field length.

How far away from the airport can I Fly my 737?

Fly your 737, at about 4,000 to 3,000 feet, toward the ILS feathers, at no more than 30 degrees off the correct runway heading, whilst you are about ten miles away from the airport (the ILS feathers are the green spikes pointing out from the airport's location). You will see your distance from the airport shown at the bottom of your PFD.

Is the B737 a Class A airplane?

Regarding EU-OPS performance classification, the B737 is a Class A airplane (as any other multi-engine turbojet powered airplane). Class A airplanes must meet certification requirements described in EASA CS-25 and operational requirements described in EU-OPS1.

How much runway is needed to land a 737?

6,800 feetThis is especially true for the critical aircraft – the Boeing 737-900 which requires a landing length of 6,800 feet under wet conditions and a takeoff length of 9,700 feet under maximum takeoff weight.

What is the course knob in the 737?

The 737 has an autopilot mode where instead of setting a heading one can set a "course", which basically means telling the aircraft: "fly along the line that crosses the VOR whose frequency has been selected on the NAV1 radio and that goes in the direction of the point of the compass selected on the Course knob".

What is V1 speed for a 737?

V1, approximately 145 KIAS, is decision speed. Above this speed, it may not be possible to stop the aircraft on the runway in case of a rejected takeoff (RTO).

What is the difference between course and heading?

In navigation, the course of a watercraft or aircraft is the cardinal direction in which the craft is to be steered. The course is to be distinguished from the heading, which is the compass direction in which the craft's bow or nose is pointed.

What is CDS fault B737?

The intent of the design function is as follows: · The CDS FAULT message is intended to be activated on ground to tell the maintenance crew or air crew that the airplane is in a non-dispatchable condition.

Can a 737 land on autopilot?

No. Commercial passenger jets are not able to take-off automatically. Currently, no commercial aircraft has an auto take-off capability.

How Slow Can a b737 fly?

It depends on a lot of conditions including weight and airplane configuration. The stalling speed in a landing configuration for a 737 is probably around 108 knots. The stalling speed in a clean configuration is around 128 knots.

What is takeoff speed for a 737?

roughly 150-180 mphWith a takeoff speed of roughly 150-180 mph, Delta's Boeing 737-700 fleet needs only a fraction of a typical runway's 10,000-ft length.

Why do pilots say heavy?

The word "heavy" means a larger aircraft type, with a Maximum Takeoff Weight of 160 tonnes or more. These aircraft create wake turbulence from their wings and require extra separation between following aircraft, and the use of "heavy" reminds other pilots of that fact.

Visual Aiming Point

Aim for the aiming point markers or your desired gear touchdown point if no markers are available. Now adjust the final approach glide path until the selected point is stationary in relation to the aircraft. ie it does appear to move up or down the windscreen.

Flare and Touchdown

After the threshold goes out of sight under the nose, shift the visual sighting point to a point approximately 3/4 down the runway while maintaining descent, this will assist in determining the flare point.

How far off the runway is a 737?

Fly your 737, at about 4,000 to 3,000 feet, toward the ILS feathers, at no more than 30 degrees off the correct runway heading, whilst you are about ten miles away from the airport ...

What are the runways on the North side of the airport?

approaching them from the East), the three of them on the North side of the airport are called runway 35L, 35C and 35R, and the other two on the South side of the airport are called 36L and 36R, even though they are all on the same heading.

How fast does a 737 fly?

A Boeing 737 will actually keep on flying (when at light weight and with plenty of flaps) at speeds as low as 100 knots when at low altitude, since it goes into ground effect where the air under the wings creates a cushion that the aeroplane rides on.

How many autopilots can you use for an automated landing?

Normally, when doing an automated landing, you put the correct course into both Navigation radios (Nav 1 and Nav 2) and you would use more than one autopilot (these are usually labeled CMD 1 and CMD 2, and you'd press both of them when you selected APP).

Why do airplanes go into negative G?

Also, if you come at it from above, the aeroplane would have to go into negative G in order to capture the approach beam, which would be uncomfortable for the passengers on an airliner. Older airliners usually have the Navigation radios on the centre pedestal, in between the pilot's seats.

Can you arm the auto brakes on a 737?

You can either use the autothrottle to control your speed, or control it manually (approach speed for a 737, depending on its weight, will normally be something like 130 knots).

Is a runway rounded up or down?

Whilst it is true that generally speaking, the name of a runway is related to its magnetic compass heading, and usually rounded up or down to the nearest five degree increment, that isn't always true, there are exceptions... An example of this would be Dallas Fort Worth in the United States (KDFW).

Flying the circle-to-land

Even though we rely on instruments, you must acquire, maintain and use visual references!

Case of aborted approach and go-around

In case of aborted approach (which can be due to loss of visual references), the situation is critical!

What is the Boeing 737 self dispatch?

It is called self-dispatch, primarily used by airline crew if that information cannot be obtained from the airline dispatch team. Performance data are usually taken from the Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM).

How high is a V2 screen?

1. Screen height of 35 ft with both engines operating on a dry or wet runway. 2. Screen height of 35 ft with one engine inoperative on a dry runway. 3. Screen height of 15 ft achieved in a manner consistent with the achievement of V2 by 35 ft with one engine inoperative on a wet runway.

What is the distance required for takeoff?

The distance required for takeoff consists of two segments:#N#1. The ground run from break release point (BRP) to lift off .#N#2. The airborne distance to a defined height (also known as screen height).

Why do airplanes have to be deflected?

For airplanes fitted with engines that can be derated for takeoff, reduction of thrust will result in reduction in the amount of yaw effect.

Is the B737 a class A plane?

Regarding EU-OPS performance classification, the B737 is a Class A airplane (as any other multi-engine turbojet powered airplane).
