Anyone got a B-735 instrument panel?

Needed.

Isn't that the long range 'classic'?

Quite a rare beast.

Air Austral the resident airline of Reunion used to operate 2 of them.

Boeing 737-500

Is there a difference between 300,400 and 500. I am aware that some 300s had a panel similar to the 200 but thought the "digital" panel was the same in all three.
I was licensed Insruments/Autopilot on all but only really dealt with 400s so may be wrong.

Edit to change am to was.

[Boac]

I would expect all 3 to be the same, but the enquiry from a contact was specific to the 500. Any non-EFIS 737 panel would be worth looking at.

[Wodrick]

Was the Pilot type rating all or specific to 3 or 4 or 5 ?

[Boac]

Cannot remember as there were a few changes. In DanAir, I was 2/3/4 rated at one point, then the CAA had a think and we had to do two revals each time - think it was the instrumentation as much as the motors. In BA it was 2 or 3/4/5. In Astraeus, 3/5/7 I recall??

Confused of seat 1A

[Wodrick]

Ah OK I was just curious, Engineering wise it was 2, a separate rating for 3,4 and 5 and I believe a further rating for 6,7, and 8

737-300-400-500 EFIS cockpits are all the same Boac. Only the weights and CFM engine rating were different from the others.

The -500 was a bit of a bitch like a V-tail Bonanza when the yaw damper was inop in turbulence. Waffled around like a drunk buzzard.

737-300-400-500 EFIS cockpits are all the same Boac.

Yup - flown them all, somewhere sometime. my (ageing) problem is I cannot recall from 14 years ago whether the BA 3/4/5s all had EFIS or just L/VNAV.

Wodrick - not quite so easy! The ex Dan 300s were 'round dial'.

Anyway, anyone got one?

[Slasher]

Ah BA's version. I wouldn't know. But does it matter wether it's Birdseed's or not?

[Boac]

Slash - no-one has asked for a BA version!??

[Slasher]

Sorry Boac I got the impression you were after a BA version.

Needed.

Is this required for an operational aircraft or are you building a procedural trainer/simulator?

[Boac]

It is for a film production, and 'realism' is considered essential.

[John Hill]

OK, if you are stuck you could try Pacific Simulators in NZCH, phone ++6433430864 https://www.pacificsimulators.com/contact-us/

I gather you want the clocks and dials version not glass? I believe they have one sitting in their CH office.

[Boac]

Thanks, John - passed on.

This company specialise in overhauling and breaking early B737s, you might drop them an email, there are several fire dump condition aircraft parked up outside, I carried out a C of A issue on a 737-500 there some years ago so it is definitely on their capability list.
