New Boeing 737 procedures

[Capt. Haddock]

Has anyone got any experience from using the new Boeing procedures?

I've been doing new boeing procedures for the last 20 years. Seems like the changes never end and are on going.

Has anyone got any experience from using the new Boeing procedures?

I submit that anyone using any Boeing procedures gained some experience in the process.

A bit of chatter on the subject over at PPRuNe.

I know what he's talking about. Boeing have decided to make the B737 operation more like the other types they make.

As a result all the checklists have changed completely, both normal and (soon to come) non-normal. Areas of responsibility have dramatically changed. For example the first officer now sets up the overhead panel during the pre-flight checks. The captain does all the control checks at the gate and sets the trim.

It really is a major overhaul of everything we do and who does what when.

These new procedures come into effect later this week for our company. Should be interesting.

Don't worry. It comes with instructions!

indeed,major change is the area of responsability for the cpt/fo also
for pf/pm. We started using this,on the NG's only,cause ,for the moment they've changed only the NG fcom's. For the moment they also retained the former normal procedures,whih we'll be removed at the next amendament of the manuals.
As said before,the cpt items are: ox mask,his side of the displays with stby also,throttle console and communication pannel.
Everything else is in FO area of responsability.
Also some terminology changes ,as N1 is now Climb thrust ,or bug up is now flaps up speed.
For start the FO is positioning eng start swtc on grd,..etc
After start,the checks are 'before taxi'checks, and include almost everything.....flaps,controls (done by the cpt),transponder ..
And some other changes....
And some other changes to come...you can check all this on www.myboeingfleet.com.
They'll probably make a qrh for all types in operation.This is done in order to insure commonality between types.
