Thank you for this video. I retired from Tramco-ATS 3-2019. Mostly worked Cockpit. Refurbished many panels. Changed #1 and #3 windows. Adjusted #2 Sliding windows.
i know this is gonna sound weird. but i work for an air museum and we have a 727. the right sliding window is falling apart. upon inspecting it it looks like i might be able to replace the entire thing with another unit we have. i dont want to touch the bolt that holds on the roller thing on the top without asking someone. and i figured it was worth a shot since the 727 and 737 have similar windows.
Excellent video for differences. Being a Ground Instructor, I remember back in the 80s fighting with the company print department for having the best photocopies possible and showing all this to the pilots with transparencies in the classroom. We´ve come a long way. :D
You forgot about one of the biggest changes between NG and MAX.... on the MAX there are no more spoiler mixer, ratio changer and spoiler cables !!! It’s fly by wire now. Must be an great improvement from the maintenance point of view!💪🏼👌🏼
The video is intended to show the visual differences between both models. Stuff such as FBW, lack of spoiler cables, etc, are beyond the scope of the video.

I was a Boeing supporter until that door plug popped off over Portland. Now my first thought when seeing a MAX cockpit is: Does it have ejector seats for the pilots?
@@justing42 Nice argument us airforce troll. At least the Airbus models are not grounded, because of tremendous design flaws. On the MC-21 time will tell how well it's designed.
3:52 you can explained that 8 vortex generator position on MAX wings has been moved little forward and more spread out compared to NG. And also MAX have 6 vortilons under outboard slats vs NG only 3.
About landing lights on cockpit, the last NG models have the same light setup has Max. But I understand what you mean, to really differentiate both models, you choose the old NG’s
Most of the commercial aviation pilots that I know cant wait to fly the Max! Some are already flying it. The 737-Max is the most scrutinized airplane ever built. The plane has had a thorough look under the hood and is probably the safest airplane to get on these days.
No, most pilots hate this plane, and max is no different then any other B737 out there. It’s every commercial pilot’s nightmare to be stuck on this junk.
Could you help me to find the dimension of the MCP 737 Collins and the hole frame where is hosted the push buttons like VNAV, CMD, SPEED ? For the buttons I hesitate with 20mm or 21mm and for the Panel 470x74mm. Also the text height (I think about 3,2mm or 3,4mm) Thank you it's for a custom home cockpit.
You can use the FIX page to draw distance to any point. In this case I am guessing those circles are indicating the distance to an alternate airport, inside one circle they would divert to airport A and inside the other they would use airport B
10:50 You can see that the outer wheel brakes cool much faster than the inner ones, being right into the airflow, but thats normal for 737s :) just an observation.
Is it me or does the B737 cockpit look like a mush of buttons seemingly haphazardly placed as there was space? Purely from an aesthetical view the A320 family (and the rest of the Airbus fleet) certainly have the cockpit laid out in much more user friendly layout.
@@markjackson5333 I have flown Embraer, Mc Donell, Fokker and Boeing. I have no special preference, 787 was the easiest becuase it was the most modern.On the 737 I have flown with copilots who flew Airbus before. They have enjoyed both of them.

still no EICAS even though it's 30 years old technology. still continuing the old switch and light combination instead of the PBA which was also available 30 years ago. still setting the course and NAV frequencies manually instead of the NAV/RAD page yet again available on the CDU 30 years ago but it still has manual reversion possible makng it the safest transport jet in the event of total loss of hydraulics pressure all you need is a pilot who can handle such emergency albeit they are getting fewer by the day...
@@Capt.Ho.Lee.Fuk. technically that doesn’t disable MCAS. It just stops the ability for it to act on the trim wheel. MCAS itself is still activated unless you extend flaps or turn on autopilot
@@tomstravels520 that's... pretty much wrong. When the stab trim switches moved to cutout, it really disable the computer from being able to actuate the trim motor since the motor itself is completely shut down. Even the thumb trim switch on the yoke won't work either after that. You'll have to use your muscle move the stab trim from that point onward which is pretty difficult if you don't workout.
@@chris22capt “disable the computer from being able to actuate the motor” Exactly. But it doesn’t turn off the MCAS computer. You can’t turn off MCAS and still have powered trim by yoke or autopilot. All you’ve done is prevent MCAS from being able to move the stabiliser but you’ve also taken away your own ability to move the stabiliser except manually. There is no “MCAS OFF” switch in the cockpit.
No, Max does not have APU EGT indicador, it was unnecesary for the NG also. There is a way to see parameters on the CDU but it is only for maintenance use.
The RF (REFILL) indication is displayed and valid only when airplane is on ground with both engines shutdown or after landing with flaps up during taxi-in.
To do this, you would need to open up the MAINT page on the airplane's EICAS screen. When you do so, all information about the aircraft, including the APU EGT, is displayed. Tbh, I wish they kept the old EGT gauge for the APU. I don't really like how they removed it.
Does anyone can tell me what is fuel consumption, approximately, for Boeing 737 same as is used by the Ryanair, last time I booked my fly from Dublin to Fuertaventura on the Ryanair website they said my carbon footprint on this fly is about 360 KG PER PERSON which is totally about 80 TONNES if the plane is full of passengers, how is it possible to generate 360 KG of the carbon footprint per person, what is the fuel consumption, is it per hour or depend from the distance, how did they count it?
It was corporate greed that ruined this plane, if they didn't hide the major flaws of the MCAS and getting too comfortable with the FAA to cut some corners....these incidents wouldn't happen....as it is, this happens, the sad part is that it took two tragedies and China to get Boeing's attention on this situation....
There are still some differences betwen the 737 and 787/777x displays. You have a simple Compass Card on the 737 (10:20) instead of a mini map like on the 787/777x. On the 787/777x you have an Airport Map Display at ranges of 5 NM or less on the MFD and full system schematics. Also all ACARS and CPDLC functions are controlled on the MFD unlike the 737 wich are controlled trought the CDU. There is a 787 cockpit video on this channel that you can watch to compare.
Very nice overview - thanks! 07:47 onward highlights critical difference in electrical trim. At least as fas as I've read and understood. On the NG these 'STAB TRIM' cuttouts 08:33 clearly separates control of electrical trim for pilot and automatics ('MAIN ELEC' and 'AUTOPILOT'). It's not clearly shown on the Max picture, but those switches are redesigned as simply a 'PRI' and "B/U' for the same circuit/function - disabling or enabling electric trim access for BOTH pilots AND automatics _at the same time._ Once shut off, only the manual crank is available - impossible to move under maximum load in flight. That is unless you have several thousand feet of spare altitude to unload by 'roller coaster' descent method. Seems like a pretty major step in reducing a pilot's ability to take control from the automation while still having full access to powered assist moving a crucial flight surface?? Anyway, again great videos👍
The STAB CUTOUT switches, despite being labeled differently in the MAX, literally does the same exact thing since the -100. Nothing's changed in that department. Once you hit the switches, there's no more electronic stabilizer trim, only manual cranking, and that goes for ALL models of the 737.
@@dynasty0019 I don't believe that is accurate. A simple search will show anyone multiple sources detailing the differences far beyond mere labeling vis a vis MCAS introduction to existing STS functionality.
Forgive a layman’s ignorant question: there seem to be an awful lot of gears, joints, cables, tubes, levers, doors, flaps, etc., for retracting the wheels, not to mention the space wasted to hide the wheels in the wing which could be used for more fuel. Does retracting the undercarriage really make all that much difference to range and flight characteristics? Is the trade off worth it?
It does, the landing gear creates an extremely high amout of drag, is almost like a boat anchor but in the air. as an example: on the Airbus A320 to fly with the landing gear down has a fuel penalty of 180%! meaning that it requires almost twice the fuel you need to fly with the landing gear up! About the wasted space, it is not really that much, with the landing gear up and adult person can barely fit in that space.
Just adding on - there was an A310 incident flight a long time ago where landing gear failed to retract and the flight crew attempted to reach their destination. They only made it about 70% of the planned distance and crash-landed (fortunately no deaths or major injuries) near the divert airport runway.

Any thoughts on self cleaning wheels? There must be a way to feed compressed air to blow brake dust and grease into a container or something.
While you were down there you could circulate the air fill with cooled air to keep tyre temps low on heavy braking.

Can the MAX APU door open during the flight?
Yes, the APU air inlet door has 3 positions, closed, flight open (approximately 17 degrees) and ground open (approximately 45 degrees).
Forgive a layman’s ignorant question: there seem to be an awful lot of gears, joints, cables, tubes, levers, doors, flaps, etc., for retracting the wheels, not to mention the space wasted to hide the wheels in the wing which could be used for more fuel.
