GENERAL
 BOEING 737 -600/700/800/900 PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS

The design of the B737 NG (Next Generation) is based on the B737 Classic
family:
Boeing 737-300/-400/-500.

The Boeing B737 NG is a twin engine airplane. It is designed for short to

medium range operation and consists of four models:
 ● B737−600
 ● B737−700
 ● B737−800
 ● B737−900

In this document, the use of the designator B737 NG without a reference to a

specific model indicates that this information applies to all four models.

The Boeing 737 NG program was launched in June 1993, starting with the
B737−700 (22cm (9in) longer than the original B737−300 and a seating up to
149).

The B737−800 project was launched in September 1994 and is based on the
B737−400 but is significantly longer at 39.4m (129ft 6in) and seats up to 189.

The −800 has been available with winglets since May 2001. These reduce
aerodynamic drag thereby reducing fuel consumption by up to 7%.

The B737−600 was the third of the NG‟s to be built and started in March 1995
and originated as the B737−500 with a similar length fuselage, seating
between 108−132.

Boeing began work on the stretched B737−900 in April 1997 and opted to use
the same (-800) emergency exit layout, with 4 main exit doors and 4 overwing
exits, thereby still restricting the maximum passenger load to 189.

07. JACKING (ATA07)
Jacking Points
The airplane has three main jack points and four auxiliary jacking points. The
main points are wing jacking points A and B and aft body jacking point C. The
four auxiliary points are forward body jacking point D and three landing gear
points E (Nose) and F (Main Landing Gear).
The airplane may be jacked at any gross weight provided the maximum load
of any jacking point is not exceeded. If the airplane is supported entirely by the
three main jacks and the stabilizer jack at point D, the maximum jacking
weight of the airplane must not be exceeded (see AMM 07−11).
Axle jacking points E and F provide the means for changing two flat tires on
the same axle up to maximum gross taxi weight. Landing gear jack points are
integral 3/4 inch spherical radius pads under main and nose gear axles.
The jacking points on the wing and body include special provisions for the
attachment of bolt-on type jack adapters provided with 3/4 inch spherical
radius pads.
To minimize the vertical lift during the jacking operation, main and nose gear
shock strut restrainers which lock the oleos in a de-pressurized and
compressed condition may be used if gear retraction is not the reason for
jacking.

Caution: DO NOT LIFT THE AIRPLANE ON JACKS IN WINDS MORE

THAN 35 KNOTS. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE
INSTRUCTIONS DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE CAN OCCUR.

Level the Airplane with a Plumb Bob

Make sure the airplane is parked in the most level position available.
Attach a plumb bob and chord in the right main wheel well to the bracket that
shows the words „LEVEL HERE“.
 The bracket is directly above the leveling scale.
 The plumb bob chord must be on the outboard side (decal side) of the
support bracket.
 The plumb bob must be clear of the target by less than 1/8 inch.
Examine the position of the plumb bob when it does not move.
If the plumb bob is not in the zero position on the leveling scale, make the
airplane level.
INTRODUCTION - JACK POINT LOCATIONS
08 LEVELING & WEIGHING (ATA08)

LEVELING

General

The airplane is supplied with one lateral and one longitudinal inclinometer, and
a plumb bob leveling scale, as leveling indicators.
The inclinometers and plumb bob leveling scale are on the keel beam near the
rear of the left main wheel well and the front of the right main wheel well.
For small adjustments to make the airplane level, the landing gear shock struts
are inflated or deflated as necessary. For larger adjustments, the airplane
must be lifted on jacks.

WEIGHTING

General

Refer to the Weight and Balance Manual for procedures

 to prepare the airplane to be weighed.
 to weigh the airplane.
INTRODUCTION - LEVELING
09 TOWING and TAXIING (ATA09)
AIRCRAFT TOWING
The nose gear has a forward tow fitting. Each main gear has both a forward and
an aft tow fitting. The main gear tow fittings are for abnormal towing conditions.
Precautions
Tip clearance requires special care during the turn. Airplane should be
moving before turning the nose wheel. Airplane nose wheel should be fore
and aft prior to parking.

A placard describing towing operations is below the towing lever.
To tow the aircraft the towing lever must be held in the tow position with a
lockpin. In this position, hydraulic pressure for nose wheel steering is locked
out. A red stripe on each nose wheel well door identifies the 78 degree position.
Maximum nose gear steering angle is 78 degrees, with the torsion links
connected. If the steering angle is to exceed 78 degrees, disconnect the torsion
links.
Make sure you have the necessary clearance when you go near a parked
airplane or other structures. When the APU in the towed airplane or a parked
airplane is on, you must have a minimum clearance of 32.8 feet (10 meters).
Warning: MOST TOWBARLESS TOW VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE A
SHEAR PIN TO LIMIT THE LOADS IF THE AIRPLANE
BRAKES ARE USED DURING TOWING. DO NOT APPLY
THE AIRPLANE BRAKES WHEN YOU TOW THE AIRPLANE
WITH TOWBARLESS TOW VEHICLES. IF YOU APPLY THE
BRAKES, YOU CAN APPLY LOADS TO THE NOSE
LANDING GEAR THAT ARE MORE THAN THE DESIGN
LOAD LIMITS. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS CAUTION,
DAMAGE WILL OCCUR TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR,
THE TOW VEHICLE, AND MAINTENANCE PERSONS CAN
BE INJURED.

The clearance must be between the APU exhaust port and the adjacent
airplane‟s wingtip (fuel vent).

To tow the airplane with the entry or the cargo doors open is optional.

Towbarless Towing

Towing stability of a Towbarless Tow Vehicle (TLTV)/Airplane combination is

dependent on many variables, two of these key variables being the
characteristics of the tow vehicle attractive forces and the runway conditions.
Maximum towing speeds shall be the responsibility of the airplane operator in
conjunction with the airport authorities with consideration of recommendations
from the TLTV manufacturer.
INTRODUCTION - TOWING TURNING RADIUS
TOW THE AIRPLANE

Warning: WHEN YOU TOW THE AIRPLANE, ALL PERSONS MUST STAY
OUT OF THE DANGEROUS AREAS AROUND THE TOW
VEHICLE, TOW BAR, NOSE WHEELS, AND MAIN WHEELS.
PERSONS ON THE GROUND MUST KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO
BE RUN OVER BY THE NOSE WHEELS, MAIN WHEELS, AND
THE TOW VEHICLE. THIS IS BECAUSE THE AIRPLANE WILL
CHANGE POSITION DURING PUSHBACK AND TOWING. MAKE
SURE YOU KEEP A MINIMUM OF 10 FEET SEPARATION
BETWEEN PERSONS ON THE GROUND AND THE
EQUIPMENT THAT MOVES. IF YOU DO NOT KEEP THE
MINIMUM DISTANCE, A FATAL INJURY COULD OCCUR.

Make sure the persons that work near the areas that follow know the
pushback hazard zones as shown in Figure:
 tow vehicle
 tow bar
 nose wheels
 main wheels.

To tow the airplane with the entry or lower cargo doors open is optional.
Tow the airplane slowly straight ahead before you try to turn.
INTRODUCTION - TOWING HAZARD ZONES
TAXI THE AIRPLANE (ATA09-20) –
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
Warning: Refer to the Operations Manual to taxi the airplane for revenue
service.
Taxi Safety
When you taxi an airplane, caution and precision are necessary.
 The taxi procedure must be done only by persons that are trained to
taxi the airplane.
 The taxi path must be clear of all persons and vehicles.
 You must get approval from the airport ground control to taxi the
airplane.
 You must keep clearance from the buildings and the other airplanes,
at all times.
 You must have electrical power to operate:
- the taxi lights
- the navigation lights
- the radio and intercom equipment
- other necessary systems.
 Check for a fuel imbalance condition.
Note: If an aircraft was moved (tow or taxi) with a lateral fuel imbalance in
excess of AMM limits while on the ground, a structural inspection is
not required provided normal taxi procedures were followed, the
maximum taxi speed was below 25 knots and no hard braking or
maximum braking occurred. If these limitations were exceeded a
structural inspection is required, contact engineering for a specific bill
of work.
 The applicable airplane hydraulic systems must be pressurized to
supply hydraulic pressure.
 When you taxi the airplane at night or in bad weather conditions, the
crew must know the area around the airplane.
 A taxi checklist is necessary to help the crew have a safe taxi
operation.
Maintenance Persons Necessary to Taxi the Airplane
The persons necessary for a safe taxi operations must include a flight
compartment crew and a ground crew. There must be a minimum of two flight
compartment persons (One taxi approved person and one observer).
One flight compartment person must be trained in all of the procedures that
follow, for the taxi operations:
Note: It is not necessary for the observer to be taxi approved.
 Correct procedure to prepare the flight compartment
 The engine start, operation, and shutdown procedures
 The engine fire and emergency procedures
 The radio and intercom operation and procedures
 The taxi procedures (turning, wing tip clearances, taxi speeds, etc)
One or two ground crew persons are necessary to do the tasks that follow:
Note: In areas of congestion or a limit of space (hangers, ramp areas next
to the terminal, airplane parking areas, etc.) more ground persons
are necessary. This is to help monitor the wing clearances and to be
general observers.
 To remove and replace the wheel chocks
 To help during the engine start
 To help the flight compartment crew during the airplane movement
 To make sure the airplane taxi path is clear.
Communications
Most areas around the airplane are out of the field of view permitted by the
flight compartment windows. Also, it is hard to see much of the ground
operations work near the airplane from the flight compartment crew. There
must be communication between the airplane and the ground crew. This is
necessary during the engine start, removal and replacement of wheel chocks,
and during the engine shutdown. To have a safe taxi operation you must use
hand signals, lights, intercom and/or radio communication. The
communications with the ground control authority is also necessary for taxi
operations.
Taxi the Airplane
Note: This will remove the torsional stresses in the landing gear
When you taxi the airplane on the ground, the movement is equivalent to components, and in the tires.
other conventional tricycle geared airplanes. The nose wheel steering, and
the engine thrust are used as necessary, to taxi the airplane. Note: The wingtips and the horizontal stabilizer move in larger arcs during
a turn than the nose of the airplane. You must monitor these areas of

vent).
Airplane taxi speed - The taxi speed must not be more than
approximately 20 knots. Speeds more than this, added to long taxi
distances will cause heat to collect in the tires. Before you make a turn,
decrease the speed of the airplane to a speed which is applicable to the
local conditions. On a dry surface, use a speed of approximately 8 to 12
knots.
3. Airplane turns during taxi. Always use the largest turn radius possible. Do
not try to turn the airplane until it has started to moved. Make sure you
know the taxi turn radii, (see AMM 09-11-00 for more information).
Monitor the wingtips and the horizontal stabilizer carefully for clearance
with buildings, equipment, and other airplanes. Make all turns at a slow
taxi speed to prevent tire skids. When a left or right engine is used to
help make a turn, use only the minimum power possible. Do not let the
airplane stop during a turn.
Do not use the brakes to help during a turn. Decrease the speed of the
airplane with the brakes when it is necessary, before the turn is started.
Make a minimum radius turn with maximum nose wheel steering, and the
engine thrust only. When you use the brakes during a turn, they will
cause the main and nose landing gear tires to wear. ) When it is possible,
complete the taxi in a straight line roll for a minimum of 12 ft (4 m).

MOORING (Parking in High Winds)
The airplane is made to be resistant to high velocity ground winds from all
angles without mooring. However, when airplane configuration and expected
high wind conditions are in the "EXTREME CAUTION ZONE" according to
AMM 10-11-03. It is recommended to move the airplane to a safe location. If
the airplane cannot be moved, moor/ secure the airplane.
Here is not specific values of wind velocity for High Wind conditions. When
you think it is necessary to do special mooring because of strong winds.
Mooring at the wheels will decrease the airplane movement. It will also
decrease the risk of structural damage.
 Close all the doors and hatches.
 Make sure that all the covers and plugs are tightly held in their
positions.
 Attach nose and main gears mooring straps and shackles around
each landing gear shock strut parallel to the airplane y-axis as shown
in figure Attach the tie down equipment to the landing gear mooring
equipment. Attach the other ends of the tie down equipment to the
ground anchor points. Make sure all the mooring straps have
equivalent tension .
 Make sure there is no equipment in the area that can move during the
strong wind and cause damage to the airplane.

Note: Refer to AMM 10-11-03 for the effects of wind on the airplane. To
reduce airplane movement, snow and ice must be removed from the
surface below the wheels.

Mooring the airplane utilizes ground anchor points and tie down equipment.
The tie down equipment is customer furnished and may be any combination
of components (i.e. shackles, chain, or cable) that meet the load
requirements stated in the procedure.

Following procedures must be completed for prepare to mooring:

 Park the airplane, do this task, except that the parking brake must be
on.

Caution: THE PARKING BRAKES WILL HAVE AN EFFECT FOR 8

HOURS AFTER THEY ARE SET. BEFORE THE 8 HOURS ARE
DONE, YOU MUST RELEASE AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE
AGAIN. THIS WILL MAKE SURE THERE IS SUFFICIENT
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. IF THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, THE AIRPLANE CAN MOVE AND
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE.

 Make sure the flaps are in the full up position to decrease the wing lift.
 Fill the airplane to its maximum fuel capacity and move the CG fully
forward.

AIRPLANE GROUNDING - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
General
This procedure contains these tasks:
 Static Grounding
 Electrical Bonding
 Measurement of Airplane Electrical Resistance to Ground
If operators choose not to do these recommended tasks, they should develop
alternate procedures which adequately protect personnel and equipment. Local
fire codes and customs may require alternative or additional procedures to
those shown here.
Static Grounding (TASK 20-40-11-910-801)
The airplane is normally electrostatically grounded through conductive tires
(Refer to the task, Measure Electrical Resistance to Ground). However, static
grounding is necessary for:
 Airplanes having inadequate conductivity to ground through the tires.
 Airplanes on parking sites that have inadequate conductivity.
The operator must ensure that the conductivity of the airplane and the parking
site are adequate and may need to establish local procedures in area where
inadequate parking site conductivity is seasonal or permanent.
Static grounding is necessary when performing maintenance tasks using these
devices:
 power tools
 electrical power sources
 lights
 powered instruments
 flammable conditions (such as painting and solvent application)
When static grounding is recommended in a detailed procedure, the airplane
must be statically grounded to a common, approved, identified ground
Static grounding is not necessary if the airplane is parked for turnaround
flight and no maintenance is to be done.
During pressure refueling of the airplane an electrical bond is necessary
between the airplane and the refueling vehicle. Static grounding is not
necessary as long as the conductivity of the airplane
Warning: DO NOT WEAR HEADSET OR HANDLE ANY UMBILICAL
CONNECTIONS TO AIRPLANE DURING ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICAL
DISTURBANCES. LIGHTNING STRIKE CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.
Warning: ALWAYS ATTACH THE GROUNDING CABLE TO THE
GROUND CONNECTION FIRST. NEVER ATTACH THE CABLE TO THE
AIRPLANE AND THEN TO THE GROUND CONNECTION.
Caution: ATTACH GROUNDING CABLES ONLY TO SPECIFIED
POINTS ON THE AIRPLANE. INCORRECTLY ATTACHED
GROUNDING CABLES CAN CAUSE SCRATCHES WHICH
CAN CAUSE CORROSION AND CRACKS ON STRESSED
PARTS. GROUND WIRES ATTACHED TO DOORS OR
FAIRINGS MADE FROM COMPOSITE MATERIALS DO NOT
PROVIDE A GROUND.
Static grounding procedure must be carry out in the following sequence:
Connect the grounding cable to an approved, identified static ground point.
Note: These points may be located in the parking surface or in another
fixed location.
 Connect the grounding cable to approved grounding attach point on
the airplane .
Before the airplane is moved, remove the ground cables in reverse
sequence of attachment.
INTRODUCTION – STATIC GROUNDING
Handling Printed Circuit Cards
When replacing printed circuit cards, remove electrical power on the applicable
system. Wear a wrist strap that is properly grounded. The wrist strap prevents a
build−up of electrostatic charges. The wrist strap has a 1 meg ohm safety
resistor to prevent electrical shock if you touch a high voltage source, such as
115 volts AC.
Put the card into a printed circuit card carrier or a special conductive bag. Close
the bag with an ESDS (Electrostatic Sensitive Devices) label.
Handling Computers
When replacing computers, remove electrical power on the applicable
system. A wrist strap need not be worn.
Remove the computer without touching the connectors on the back and
install Conductive caps. The conductive caps prevent an electrostatic
discharge from reaching the pins in the back of the computer.
For more detailed information on the safe handling of ESDS devices refer
to Maintenance Manual (MM 20−10−07).

SAFETY ITEMS/INTERFACES
GENERAL
General safety Precautions
General safety precautions are part of module 7 ”Maintenance Practices”.
Specific safety Precautions
For each aircraft type, there are some special safety precautions.
This requires special awareness for safety during operation or when a task is
performed. The identification of safety relevant will be discussed in the Training
Manual for the related aircraft system.
Additionally, in the Training Manual for aircraft documentation shows how
safety items are identified in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual.
B1: Avionics Interface
For mechanical systems which interface with avionic systems, some selected
safety items are listed here:
 When the aircraft is fuelled or defueled, Weather radar and HF must not
be used.
 When any task of an aircraft system requires the Air/Ground System to
be set to the Flight condition, probe heating systems and many other
systems are also affected.
Note the safety items for the air/ground sensing system.
B2: Mechanical Interface
For avionic systems which interface with mechanical systems, some
selected
safety items are listed here:
 When Auto Flight Systems are operated or tested, electrical
actuators may start operation. With hydraulic power active,
hydraulic actuators may also start operation.
Keep surfaces clear.
This may affect automatic slat systems and automatic ground
spoiler systems.
 When any task of an aircraft system requires the Air/Ground
System to be set to the Flight condition, many other systems are
also affected. Note the safety items for the air/ground sensing
system.
 HF must not be used when the aircraft is fuelled or defueled.
 Weather Radar must not be used when the aircraft is fueled or
defueled.
 Some systems may operate depending on airspeed. When air data
test equipment is used, this all consequences must be regarded.
