INTRODUCTION
This Cockpit 4 u Operations Manual is type specific to the Boeing 737 NG aircraft. The manual
provides crew-members with additional information on the technical, procedural and other
characteristics of the Boeing 737 NG aircraft. Most of the type related information can be found
in the different Boeing 737 Manuals, which are split into the following:
Boeing 737 Manual
Flight Crew Operations Manual Volume 1
(FCOM 1)
Flight Crew Operations Manual Volume 2
(FCOM 2)
Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM)
Quick Reference Handbook (QRH)

Bulletins, Limitations, Normal


Procedures, Supplementary
Procedures
Aircraft System description

Performance in-flight,
Non-Normal checklist

GENERAL
In order to fully understand the procedures specified here, pilots must be familiar with standard Boeing
philosophies. Particular attention should be paid to the introduction to the Normal Procedures in the
FCOM Volume 1 which includes diagrams specifying panel scan flows and areas of responsibility, and to
the checklist introduction at the front of the QRH.
C4u SOPs are based as closely as possible on standard Boeing procedures. The Boeing FCOM Normal
Procedures Introduction contains an explanation of the philosophy and assumptions used.

PILOT AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY


Preflight and postflight crew duties are divided between the captain and the first officer. Phase of
Flight duties are divided between the Pilot Flying (PF) and the Pilot Monitoring (PM).Phase of flight duties
begin when the airplane starts moving under its own power and end when the airplane is parked at the
gate. Captain or Pilot Flying initiates checklists depending on flight phase and includes the setup
according the area of responsibility.

NORMAL CHECKLIST OPERATION


The use of normal checklists is detailed in the FCOM QRH "Checklist Introduction" Chapter C I Section
1. The following table shows the different allocation of checklist response according to the Boeing
Standard Operating Procedure.
Please note the following points:
Both pilots visually verify that each item is in the needed configuration or that the step is done.
Where the checklist response is shown as a blank line ( ___ ), the response must be a value or
a position. eg: Parking brake.... ____, response must be "SET" or "RELEASED"
Where checklist items are fitted to both pilot stations, e.g. Oxygen and Windows, then both
Pilots should respond

Normal checklists are used after all appropriate items have been performed.
The following table shows the responsibilities for checklist handling.

AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES SUMMARY


PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE
The summary below does not include the complete procedure, for details refer to FCOM Vol. 1 NP and
the FCTM.
For simplification it is assumed that the Captain performs the exterior inspection and the First Officer
performs the electrical power up (as needed) and the preliminary preflight and preflight procedures, as
well as the Captain is PF and the F/O is PM. If the F/O would be the PF the Captain would perform the
Electrical Power Up and the Preliminary Preflight Procedure. The Exterior Inspection can be done by
either Pilot. Apart from these changes the duties would stay the same.
Both CMs are responsible to control the light switches on their corresponding side of the light panel.

BEFORE TAXI PROCEDURE


The First Officer's Before Taxi Procedure may be commenced prior to towbar disengagement as long as
the nose wheel steering bypass pin is in use. The RECALL check is carried out by the First Officer but
verified by both pilots.

NOTE:
1

Recall is used to ensure that items that do NOT appear on the checklist are correctly set.
Therefore it is vital that this check is properly carried out.

When the Captain performs the rudder check, the First Officer must follow on through to ensure that the
First Officer's seat is correctly positioned to allow full deflection of the rudder pedals.

NOTE:
1

After passing 400ft AGL the autopilot should be engaged. Any intention by PF to fly manually
above 400ft aal must be stated in advance as part of the takeoff briefing and is subject to the
agreement of the aircraft Commander.

Standard acceleration altitude is 1000ft aal unless noise abatement procedures dictate otherwise.

If the initial cleared altitude or flight level for departure is less than 3000'aal, Altitude Acquire may
occur before flap retraction. Speed control reverts to the MCP window, further acceleration and
flap retraction should be anticipated and will require MCP speed selection to Clean Speed. This
should be set without delay in order to avoid unnecessary thrust lever movement.

Flaps should not be retracted from 1 to UP during tight departure turns with anti-ice on, to avoid
possible nuisance stick shaker activation.

STABLE APPROACH
It should be clearly understood that an unstable approach is more likely to result in a hazardous landing
with the resultant high risk of an accident. The majority of unstable approaches result from a lack of
appreciation of the aircraft energy level at an early part of the approach and the resultant failure to slow
the aircraft in a controlled manner.
At initial approach speed the landing gear is the most effective form of air-brake. Speedbrake can be
extended with gear and Flap 10. Obviously the Speedbrake can be extended as well in the clean
configuration but the maximum allowed Flap setting is 10. Develop your mental 'gates' for speed and
configuration targets. The PF and the PM are to monitor the descent profile versus the track miles to run
throughout the descent. The priority must always be to avoid a rushed approach.
The following descent gates should normally be used:
35 nm 10000 feet 250kts
20 nm 6000 feet 210kts
10 nm 3000 feet 180kts
Occasionally ATC may request 180kts until 4dme. Crew should be aware that in most circumstances, this
will result in the aircraft not being able to meet the stable criteria by 1000ft. Crews should not normally
accept anything faster than 180kts until 6dme or 160 until 4dme to ensure that a stable approach is
achieved.
The criteria for a stabilised approach are:

Aircraft in landing configuration.


Final approach speed +10/-5 kt.
Rate of descent less than 1000 ft per minute.
ILS: Aircraft within +/- 1 dot of glideslope/LOC.
NPA or visual approach: The aircraft is on the correct lateral and vertical flightpath.
Bank angle less than 15.
Normal approach thrust set.

The landing gear must be down by 1500ft above Touch Down Zone Elevation (TDZE). Transient
fluctuations caused by atmospheric conditions are acceptable if corrected in a timely manner.
Rate of descent limit may be increased by 150fpm per 0.5 degree that the published approach path
exceeds 3 degrees.
All approaches must be stable by 1000ft above TDZE (Barometric Altimeter), with the exception of
circling approaches as follows:
For circling approaches only, a maximum 15 bank angle at 400ft within +/- 30 final.
If the Commander is in any doubt as to whether a stabilised approach can be achieved, he should review
the need for a go-around at an early stage. If a stabilised approach cannot be achieved, he must ensure
that a go-around is carried out.
If the aircraft is not in the landing configuration by 1000ft above TDZE a go around must be initiated.
If the parameters of a stabilised approach are not achieved at 500 feet and maintained until landing a goround must be initiated.

A silent check of the MAA should be made at the approach fix for all approaches.
2

If the flight directors have been switched off during the approach they should be re-selected to ON
after the aircraft has descended below the Missed Approach Altitude. This keeps the command
bars out of view if the approach is continued visually, but allows full functionality of the Flight
Director system if a go-around is executed.

relative to the aircraft, e.g. "Approach lights visual at 11 o'clock".

Some standard calls are made by an automated voice. The PF must make the appropriate
response to an automated call. When an automated call is anticipated, but does not occur, the PM
must make the call.

The PM will immediately call "No Flare" or "No Retard" as applicable if either of these situations
should occur. These calls would require the PF to confirm the subsequent action.

On a visual approach or when the PF calls "Visual" on an instrument approach; the only call that
the PF is required to respond to is "Five Hundred".

GENERAL PROCEDURES
MANUAL FLIGHT
The autothrottle will not normally be used during manual flight except for takeoff, climb and go-around.
The PM will normally make MCP selections on the instructions of the PF, except for heading and altitude
changes from ATC clearances and speed selections associated with flap position changes, which should
be made by the PM without specific directions.

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
The autopilot will normally cope well with most non-normal configurations, including flight on one engine,
provided it is properly trimmed out.
Selection of the autopilot is by PF, who will announce the engagement of the appropriate autopilot by
stating, "Autopilot A/B to Command".
The PF will normally make MCP selections and both pilots will monitor the FMA to ensure that the
selected mode is correctly annunciated.
It is normal practise that if the autopilot is engaged then the autothrottle should also be engaged, except
in the case of flight on one engine.
If the autothrottle is unserviceable and the autopilot is engaged, special care must be taken to avoid low
speed situations.

TRAINING MANUAL

Page 28

BOEING
B737 600-900ER

THRUST SETTING PROCEDURES


Except for manual landings, the required thrust will normally be set by the autothrottle. Manual landings
will be performed with the autothrottle fully disengaged.
MCP thrust (N1) modes will be selected by the PF when in autoflight and by the PM when in manual
flight. Thrust (N1) modes that are selectable by pressing a TO/GA switch will be selected by the PF. The
PM will monitor that the autothrottle sets the thrust correctly.
If the autothrottle is disengaged during autoflight, care must be taken to ensure that accurate speed
control is maintained. In this configuration, or during manual flight with the autothrottle disengaged, the
PF will either set the required thrust himself or direct the PM to do so using one of the Boeing
recommended phrases listed below:
"Set Go-around Thrust"
"Set Max Continuous Thrust"
"Set Climb Thrust"
"Set Cruise Thrust"

REVERSE THRUST / WHEEL BRAKES


Reference to the planned reverse thrust and autobrake setting should be made in the approach briefing
and should take into account factors such as:
Aircraft weight
Landing distance available
Runway surface conditions
Crosswind
Brake cooling requirements
Local noise restrictions.

REVERSE THRUST
The standard thrust setting for landing is second detent reverse. However up to maximum reverse may
be used if conditions or circumstances require it.

NAVIGATION AIDS
Prior to departure both pilots should identify those navigation aids that are receivable on the ground.Use
of the Auto-ident facility, will suffice.
In flight the PM will normally select the navigation aids under the direction of the PF. All navigation aid
selections will be communicated to the other crewmember so that both pilots are aware of the navigation
aids selected and in use.
Prior to commencing an approach those navigation aids required for the approach should be identified by
both pilots.
With the exception of PRNAV procedures; all departures, arrivals and approaches must be monitored in
raw data below MSA, irrespective of the AFDS mode use to fly the procedure.

FLAPS
GENERAL
The PF will call for the required flap setting according to the flap speed schedule and the PM will check
that the speed is correct for the required selection, positioning the flap lever as directed and monitor flap
and slat movement.

TRAINING MANUAL

Page 29

BOEING
B737 600-900ER

FLAP RETRACTION
Flaps should not be retracted from 1 to UP during tight departure turns with anti-ice on, to avoid possible
nuisance stick shaker activation.
Following flap retraction, the speed should not be increased above clean speed until the PM has called
"flaps up, no lights".

FLAP EXTENSION
When the flap lever is moved, the flap gauge will be monitored for flap movement. The MCP speed
should be set to the manoeuvring speed for the selected flap.
During automatic flight, the PF will monitor that the required flap selection has been made and select the
required speed. During manual flight, the PF will monitor that the required flap selection has been made
by PM and the PM (without further direction from the PF) will select the required speed. Further flap
extension should not be made until within 10kts of the current flap manoeuvre speed. Using flap as
Speedbrakes is ineffective, puts large stresses on the flap tracks and should be avoided.
When approach procedures or ATC require a speed other than a flap manoeuvring speed, the nearest
flap below the requested speed should be used .The speed should be selected on the MCP and
announced as a numerical value by the pilot making the selection, e.g. "speed 160". On selection of the
landing flap, setting the final value of the MCP speed setting will be announced as a numerical value by
the pilot making the selection, taking account of the reported wind conditions.

FLAP SETTINGS ON THE APPROACH


Flap position 2, 10 and 25 are not required in standard profiles.

FMC PROGRAMMING IN FLIGHT


In flight the FMC should be programmed by the PM under the direction of the PF, except that during the
cruise the PF will normally programme the anticipated arrival routing. During the approach and landing
brief the PF should state the intended flap setting for the approach, the PM should then select the flap
setting for the landing weight on the Approach Ref page. Confirmation is required from the PF before the
PM executes any changes that will alter the aircraft current flight profile (i.e. "Direct To" or alterations to
cruising speed etc.).
FMC programming is not recommended at low altitude.

SPEED BRAKES
The PF must keep his hand on the speedbrake lever when they are in use, with the exception of other
vital actions for brief periods only, such as operation of the MCP panel. For the final approach, the speed
brakes will be armed by the Captain when the landing gear is selected down. Ideally the speed brakes
are not used in conjunction with flaps, and they must not be used with the flaps beyond "10".
The PF will announce speed brakes selection immediately prior to selection by calling "Speedbrake".

BRIEFINGS GENERAL
PILOT IN-FLIGHT BRIEFINGS
Briefings are summaries and although they need to cover a minimum number of topics they should be as
concise and relevant as possible. They should also be structured and follow a logical format. The
checklists in the following section detail the items that should be covered in each briefing.
Crews should conduct all briefings in an interactive style to increase the participation and check the
understanding of the PM.
Under certain circumstances a reduced "Standard Brief" may be considered to be more appropriate than
the "Normal Full Brief" as described in this section. The Commander may indicate that a "Standard Brief"
would be considered appropriate for that particular occasion. A Standard Brief should include a quick
cross check of all navigational aids, courses, associated mimima and performance considerations.
Examples of when a Standard Brief would be appropriate are when the weather conditions are
favourable and a crew have already operated into that particular airfield on that day, or when the weather
conditions are favourable and the crew are operating from or into their home base, other than the first
sector of the day. The following section detail the items that should be considered for inclusion in each
briefing.

BRIEFING FROM THE GLASS


Accurate programming of the FMC is important to ensure that departure and arrival routings are flown
correctly. For P-RNAV routes, even greater reliance is placed upon the FMC and any errors in the FMC
database programme must be detected before the procedure is commenced.
To help ensure that any FMC errors, no matter how small, will be detected at the briefing stage the
technique of briefing from the glass has been adopted. The PF will prepare the FMC as accurately as
possible, including when appropriate as much detail as possible on the Descent Forecast page. As a
part of his preparation, the PF will cross-refer between the FMC and Jeppesen chart remembering that
RNAV procedures selected from the database must not be altered in anyway whilst NON-RNAV
procedures may be fine-tuned if required.

TRAINING MANUAL

Page 33

BOEING
B737 600-900ER

DEPARTURE
When the PF is ready to brief the departure, after the initial check of clocks, taxi out, emergencies etc,
he/she should, as usual, commence with a cross-check of the relevant charts and dates, followed by
general items such as Transition Altitude, MSAs, Notes, Noise Abatement Procedure etc. The PF should
then brief the PM by reading the programmed route from the CDU without recourse to his paper
Jeppesen chart thus ensuring that any errors in the FMC are detected by the PM who must be extremely
critical of even the smallest anomaly. The suggested way to brief is:
PF sets his ND to PLAN on the EFIS control panel and CDU to RTE page 2.
Confirm the SID programmed is correct.
Change the CDU to RTE LEGS page 1, read the track and distance to the first waypoint, name it,
together with any BOLD FONT speed and/or altitude constraints. Note whether the waypoint is a flyover or fly-by by looking at the magenta route on the ND (this can only be achieved after entry of the
ZFW).
Use the STEP function to move the map centre label <CTR> to the next waypoint and again read the
track, distance, name etc and continue for each waypoint until the end of the SID has been reached.
Now review the Nav Aid set-up to support the departure, if required and to cater for FMC failure or
Special Engine Out Procedure.
It is most likely that great circle tracks may differ by the odd degree here or there between the FMC and
the Jeppesen chart and also that distances may be slightly different as turns will have been created
rather than straight lines between waypoints as depicted on the charts or in the FMC prior to ZFW entry.
Any gross errors should be investigated.
Be extremely critical of FL versus Altitude constraints and change the PERF INIT Transition Altitude or
DESC FORECASTS Transition Level accordingly to ensure the FMC agrees with the chart.
ARRIVAL
The PF will identify the STAR and Approach Procedure charts then, as for the departure, the PF will
cross-check dates, and then cover MSAs, MFAs, Notes, Clearance Limit etc. The PF will then brief the
lateral and vertical profile from the CDU without recourse to the paper chart while the PM cross-checks
against the paper chart. Once again, the suggested format is:
The PF sets his ND to PLAN and CDU to RTE page 2 to confirm the programmed arrival, approach and
runway in use. The PM retains MAP to monitor the actual aircraft position.
The PF selects RTE LEGS and covers the vertical and horizontal profile in the same manner as for
departure, using the STEP key to scroll through each waypoint highlighting track, distance, BOLD
FONT altitude and/or speed constraints and any fly-over waypoints.
Stop at the Clearance Limit and review the nav-aids for the hold if applicable.

TRAINING MANUAL

Page 34

BOEING
B737 600-900ER

APPROACH and GO-AROUND


Now brief the approach and go-around.
The PF will use the paper chart to top and tail i.e. read the briefing strip, together with any notes
(top), followed by RVR requirements, PAPIs, Approach Lights etc (tail) finally confirm that the navaids are set up including any re-tune requirements during the go-around and that the minimums are
bugged.
Resume briefing from the glass, especially if an overlay or RNAV approach is to be flown or a LNAV
go-around is to be used.
Confirm when the MCP Missed Approach Altitude will be set.
For a FMC controlled approach confirm that the following appear on the Legs page:
Runway related fix (RWxxx, MDxxx or MAxxx).
Altitude at the fix (TDZE plus TCH or MDA or an altitude at the MAP which would ensure a normal TCH
and may be below MDA).
Approach speed at the fix (Vref plus wind correction).
A vertical angle (GPx.xx) between each waypoint after the Final Approach Course Fix (defined by the
letter C).
Briefing from the Glass should be the normal technique practiced for all departures and arrivals as this
will ensure that any errors in the FMC lateral or vertical profile will be detected at the briefing stage. Use
of this technique will take a little longer than previous practice and crews should ensure they brief
sufficiently early to avoid being rushed by an early descent for example. The tendency will always be for
pilots to try to mix briefing from the glass with looking at the paper. Try to be disciplined here. If you are
unsure of a waypoint, describe it to the PM in terms of distance/track from the previous waypoint with any
associated restrictions. As we gain familiarity with the technique, we will become more comfortable with
the procedure and briefing times will reduce.
*PF may decide to delegate the task of setting up the FMC to the PM as he/she thinks fit. When PF then
briefs from the glass, this serves as a very good crosscheck that all has been entered correctly. Pilots
should be encouraged to develop a high standard of workload management while performing these
tasks. Try to keep the briefs interactive.

BRIEFING - TAKE-OFF
Flaps, Runway and Thrust
Runway surface conditions and crosswind
Anti-ice and any other non-standard configuration requirements
Airport restrictions and obstructions
Standard instrument departure, routing and altitude restrictions
Intended method of navigation e.g. LNAV, HDG SEL
Radio aid selection and course selector settings
MSA and terrain clearance
Expected Taxi Route
Example:
This will be a right seat takeoff Runway 26L Flaps 5, Bleeds on, Anti-ice off, Wet/Dry figures.
Before 80kts we will stop for any failure. Above 80 kts only for: Any fire, engine malfunction, anything that
rends the aircraft unsafe to fly and the predictive windshear warning.
If you call stop; I expect you to: Close the thrust levers simultaneously disengage the autothrottle,
manually raise the speedbrake lever and apply maximum reverse thrust. I will monitor your actions and
call speedbrake up or not up, monitor the autobrake system and call autobrake disarm if the light should
illuminate, call 60kts, inform ATC and select flaps 40. When the aircraft comes to a stop you will close the
reversers, stow the speedbrake and set the parking brake.
If nothing happens up to V1 there will be no actions below 400 AGL, except to raise the landing gear
with a positive rate of climb and cancel the fire warning . At 400 AGL, and when the aircraft is under
control, I will call HDG select, identify. You will then complete the recall items if any. At acceleration
altitude, I will call FLAPS UP SPEED and retract the flaps on schedule. When the flaps are up, select
LVL CHG and MCT and climb to MSA.

EMERGENCY BRIEFING
In addition to the items listed above, a full emergency briefing will be conducted prior to the crew's first
sector of the day comprising the following items:
RTO procedure
The actions following an engine malfunction at or after V1
Special Procedures
Intentions for returning to land, including the nomination of a take-off alternate within one hour single
engine flying time (315 nm in still air) when the departure airport is below landing limits:
The term "standard emergency brief" may be substituted for subsequent sectors but Special Procedures
and intentions for returning to land should still be noted for each departure.

ABNORMAL & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES


GENERAL
This section is intended to give the trained crew some additional thoughts and guide-lines in the
event of a non-normal situation. In the event of a non-normal situation the Boeing Quick
Reference Handbook (QRH) Non-normal checklists are used and a copy is available at each
pilot station. Your first action should always be to perform the necessary recall items followed by
the QRH Non-Normal Checklist. Further guidance may be found in the FCTM.
Information regarding pilot incapacitation and other cabin crew emergency procedures can be
found in the FCTM. Pilots must be familiar with the relevant emergency procedures contained
therein.
Flight Crew should use the DODAR process to assess both the causes of a non-normal situation
and the required further action.
D Diagnose
O Options
D Decide
A - Assign tasks and Action
R - Review decision

RAPID DE-PRESSURISATION
In the case of a rapid de-pressurisation, both pilots will immediately don their oxygen masks and
the Captain shall become the PF.
The Captain as PF will then call for the recall actions and the F/O will attempt to regain control of
the cabin pressure.

RAPID DESCENT / EMERGENCY DESCENT


If an emergency descent is required for any reason the Captain will be the PF and
will announce Emergency Descent. Whenever possible, the Captain will accomplish this
procedure in LVL CHG and with an autopilot in command.

PRESSURISATION SYSTEM MANUAL OPERATION


If the cabin pressure has to be controlled with the MAN system, it is recommended that the
Captain should be the PF.

TRAINING MANUAL
Page 46
BOEING
B737 600-900ER

LOSS OF THRUST ON BOTH ENGINES (AT ALTITUDE)


Refer to FCTM chapter 8 for guidance.
Possible causes for this condition are volcanic ash, severe turbulence or a jet upset, inadequate
fuel supply or ice accretion, and the possible consequences include:
Loss of pressurisation (not rapid)
Manual reversion (if both N2 very low and the APU is not on line).

The PF will initially maintain the previous cruise IAS while descending. The PM will perform the
recall actions in a positive manner taking advantage of any remaining N2 rotation.
If a cabin altitude warning should occur both pilots must immediately don their oxygen masks
and then continue the Loss of Thrust on Both Engines non-normal checklist.

LOSS OF BOTH ENGINE DRIVEN GENERATORS


Refer to FCTM chapter 8 for guidance.
The possible consequences of this situation thrust deterioration/engine flameout at high altitude.
The APU should not be put on line by recall (even if already started), but according to the QRH.
If APU does not start, at high altitude, try again only at lower altitude. Note: As electrical power
will be interrupted only the Captains PFD and ND will be functional and so the Caption would
become the Pilot flying.

REJECTED TAKE-OFF
The Captain will decide whether to reject the take-off, or continue. He will announce his intention
by using the word STOP or "CONTINUE" as appropriate.
During the deceleration, the Right Seat Pilot will automatically select flaps 40. The Right Seat
Pilot verifies SPEED BRAKE LEVER UP and calls out SPEED BRAKES UP. If SPEED
BRAKE LEVER is not UP, the Right Seat Pilot calls SPEED BRAKES NOT UP.
If rejecting due to fire/smoke, consider positioning the aircraft so the fire/smoke is on the
downwind side.
When the RTO is complete, the Captain will decide upon the further course of action and call for
any further actions that may be required.

VOLCANIC ASH
The possible presence of volcanic ash may be contained in the NOTAM briefing. The actual
presence of volcanic ash may be recognised by smell and possibly erratic engine indications,
which in serious cases may result in a flameout.
In the event that volcanic ash is encountered, the best course of action to exit the ash cloud is
usually to turn 180 degrees and descend (reducing thrust helps to increase the stall margin
within the engine). Pilots should be aware that if an engine flameout occurs in these
circumstances, several attempts may be necessary to restart the engine.
The Commander may consider not starting the APU until the aircraft has left the cloud of
volcanic ash. An encounter with volcanic ash may turn the windscreens opaque, in which case
an autoland would be very desirable.

TRAINING MANUAL
Page 47
BOEING
B737 600-900ER

ENGINE FAILURE ON TAKE-OFF


The procedure to be followed in the event of a serious engine malfunction at or after V1 is to
continue the take-off and follow the Engine Out Procedure. Inform ATC and an emergency must
be declared (Distress call or Urgency call, as appropriate). In the event of an Engine Fire,
Severe Damage or Separation, it is recommended to initially declare a MAYDAY. If
subsequently the situation dictates, this may be downgraded to a PAN. Noise abatement
procedures are abandoned in the event of any serious emergency on departure.
There may be occasions where the commander considers departure from the Engine Out to be
a more favourable choice e.g. continuing with an instrument departure procedure after the first
turn of the procedure has been commenced. The commander should only consider this option
when below MSA if the aircraft is under control and if he is satisfied that terrain and obstacles
will be avoided.
Whilst in asymmetric flight, acceleration for flap retraction should normally take place when the
aircraft is flying on a steady heading. If the acceleration altitude is reached during an Engine Out
Procedure turn the turn should be completed before acceleration is commenced. The
acceleration altitude will be 1,000 feet aal unless a higher height is specified in the RTOW
tables.
Any required recall actions will only be initiated when above 400 feet aal and when the flight
path is under control. If an engine failure occurs during the enroute climb phase and continued
flight along the planned route may take the aircraft below MSA, the preferred course of action is
to turn the shortest way, taking into account the terrain towards the nearest suitable holding
pattern and climb to MSA.

ENGINE FAILURE IN THE CRUISE


The primary task is aircraft control and this is best achieved with use of the autopilot, and initially
maximum cruise thrust should be set whilst co-ordinating rudder inputs. The PF will call for any
necessary recall drill at an appropriate time. An emergency should be declared as a descent will
be necessary from high altitude. The PM will extract engine data from the FMC and the PF will
initiate the descent using LVL CHG. When flight path control is assured the PF will call for
the appropriate non-normal checklist.
Engine failure during flight
When an aeroplane in flight has an identified engine problem or non normal condition which
precludes the application of go-around power, consideration should be given to configuring for
an engine inoperative approach and landing. Engine inoperative procedures should be briefed
for the approach, landing and go around, if applicable. Engines should only be shut down in
flight when required by the QRH.

TRAINING MANUAL
Page 48
BOEING
B737 600-900ER

LANDING AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT


When the QRH specifies that a landing at the nearest suitable airport is required, the Captain
must divert to the nearest airport where a safe landing can be made.
In addition, the Commander may elect to land at the nearest suitable airport in other
circumstances such as when an on board fire is detected and cannot be contained, or the ability
of the aircraft to remain in controlled flight is in doubt. Inevitably there will be other situations that
cannot be envisaged when an immediate landing appears to the Commander to be the correct
course of action.
The selection of an airport for landing in these circumstances will be based upon factors such as
weather reports, LDA and runway condition, approach aids, availability of rescue and fire
services. The choice of the nearest suitable airport should not be influenced by consideration of
passenger ground handling or convenient technical support.
Flight crew can expect ATC to assist with the diversion but only after a formal emergency has
been declared and the Commanders intentions made known. Procedures should not be rushed
to the extent that the situation is exacerbated from causes not directly related to the emergency.
The key factor to be borne in mind when an immediate landing seems necessary is to prioritise
requirements dictated by the situation and to avoid wasting time carrying out non-essential
tasks. The aim is to get the aircraft on the ground safely and without delay.

ENGINE FAILURE ON APPROACH


Refer to FCTM chapter 5 for guidance.
In the event of an engine failure on short finals whilst visual with the runway, the Captain may
elect to continue the approach with the existing flap position. In making this decision
consideration must be given to all relevant factors including aircraft weight, altitude and
headwind component.
QRH recall actions other than silencing audio warnings, should not be commenced below 500ft
RA.

DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
The Captain will initiate the declaration of an emergency. Having decided to make an
emergency call, the decision whether to declare a state of urgency (PAN PAN) or distress
(MAYDAY) is also with the Captain. As a general guide, if the successful outcome of the
situation is in jeopardy then a distress call would be appropriate. For other situations an urgency
call would suffice as this should ensure priority over other traffic and that airport emergency
services are on standby; a distress call should also place emergency services from the
Surrounding area on standby.

PASSENGER EVACUATION
If a decision to evacuate is made by the Commander, QRH check list will be initiated and carry
out by each crew in their respective area of responsibility. The Left hand seat pilot is responsible
for the Parking Brake, Speedbrake Lever, Start Levers and to advise the cabin to evacuate while
the right hand seat pilot is reading the Evacuation Checklist and handling all other items.

TRAINING MANUAL

BOEING
B737 600-900ER

RELIGHTING A FAILED ENGINE


An engine relight must not be attempted if the engine failed or was shut down as a result of any
fire, overheat or severe damage condition.
The decision whether to attempt to relight a failed engine in any other circumstance is one that
can only be made after taking into account all factors pertaining at the time. Factors to consider
would include the position of the aircraft in relation to the nearest suitable airport, weather and
the likely time to touchdown. If the weather is good and the relight attempt is likely to delay
approach, continuing for a single engine landing may be preferable to a delayed approach,
especially when the possible success of the relight attempt cannot be assessed. Modern jet
engine failures are rare and in the unlikely event of a pure flameout situation, the possibility of
fuel contamination would have to be taken into account. In poor weather conditions, especially if
faced with a long transit to a suitable airport, attempting a relight might be a more favourable
choice.

GO-AROUND
All Go-arounds must be carried out promptly to ensure minimum loss of height. This is
particularly important whenever:
the required visual reference for landing has not been achieved or,
the Go-around is carried out from the DA/H or below 200ft AAL, whichever

is higher.
Following a ground proximity warning at night or if it is believed to be

genuine during day light conditions.


The speed over the threshold exceeds Vref+20kts during a landing on a

runway which is performance limiting in the prevailing conditions, the a Go around must be
carried out.
If, in marginal weather conditions, two Go-arounds have been carried out at an airport,
consideration should be given to diverting or holding until an improvement in the weather occurs.
The decision to attempt a third approach immediately should not normally be made unless a
significant improvement in the weather has been reported or observed from the flight deck. The
options of diverting or holding will be affected by fuel considerations and by forecast weather
conditions at the destination and at the alternate. Commanders should make use of the P.A at
appropriate times to give reassurance to passengers.

TRAINING MANUAL

WINDSHEAR GO-AROUND
On aircraft fitted with aural windshear warning systems, if a GPWS Windshear warning is
received, a windshear Go-around must be carried out. Exceptionally, in conditions of extreme
turbulence associated with strong winds and not Cb or frontal activity, a warning may be treated
as advisory provided that this warning has been anticipated, briefed for in the approach briefing
and an appropriate allowance made. In the event of a Go-around the call windshear Goaround will be used to indicate to the other crew member that a positive rate of climb would be
maintained at the expense of airspeed, even to the point of stick shake. If a subsequent
approach is thought prudent, then conditions should be carefully evaluated and appropriate
compensation made, e.g. higher airspeed, in accordance with operating procedures. If, on the
subsequent approach, another warning is received and believed to be genuine, then a Goaround should be made and diversion considered.

NON-NORMAL FLAP
If a non-normal flap problem has been encountered, crews should avoid moving the flaps until
after the QRH has been actioned to reduce the risk of subsequent damage or failure. Crews
should also avoid raising the flaps after landing when taxiing to the apron to allow the engineers
to inspect the problem.

SOP PROFILES - NON-NORMAL PROCEDURES


INTRODUCTION
The following slides show the sequence of events during various stages of flight in non-normal

situations.
They are designed to be used as a training aid for new pilots and as a point of reference for

revision of procedures and techniques for existing pilots.


The profiles do not contain all of the operating procedures required. It is therefore essential that

they are used in conjunction with the appropriate procedures contained in the Boeing FCOM
and QRH.
The written procedures mentioned above will be the authoritative source in the event of any

conflict with procedures detailed in these profiles.

ENGINE MALFUNCTION AFTER V1


Note 4: After the Flaps Up / No Light call, ensure the Autothrottle is
disengaged before selecting LVL CHG & MCT.

Note 1: The PM will call Engine Malfunction when first observed without identifying the engine or the nature of the failure.
Note 2: If a special procedure (emergency turn) is specified, follow as published. If a turn is required at a speed below V2 +
15kts, the PF will call Bank angle 15, Hdg N
Note 3: No action, other than monitoring until a minimum of 400 RA. Above 400 RA, and when crew workload permits,
PF asks the PM to Identify. The PM then states the failure indications. Crew agree failure and course of action. At the
direction of the PF, both crew members systematically and without delay accomplish all recall items. Note: If recall items
are required, PF initiates them by disconnecting Auto throttle and closing Thrust Lever - monitored/confirmed by PM,
remaining recall items by PM, monitored/confirmed by PF.

one crew member is present, the full procedure can be accomplished from
either left or right hand seat, but controlling the pressurisation from the left is
difficult
Note 4 If a slow depressurisation occurs and the cabin altitude is expected to reach 10000 feet either pilot should call out
Cabin altitude Warning, take action. If the cabin altitude warning sounds this call out can be omitted.
