The Boeing 737 is a short- to medium-range twinjet narrow-body airliner developed and
manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States. Originally
developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engine airliner derived from the 707 and 727,
737-200
the 737 has developed into a family of ten passenger models with capacities from 85 to
215 passengers. The 737 was originally envisioned in 1964. The initial 737-100 made its
first flight in April 1967, and entered airline service in February 1968 at Lufthansa. Next,
the lengthened 737-200 entered service in April 1968. The 737 is Boeing's only narrow-
body airliner in production, with the 737 Next Generation (-700, -800, and -900ER) and
the re-engined and redesigned 737 MAX variants currently being built.
The original engine nacelles incorporated thrust reversers taken from the 727 outboard
nacelles. They proved to be relatively ineffective and tended to lift the aircraft up off the
runway when deployed. This reduced the downforce on the main wheels thereby
reducing the effectiveness of the wheel brakes. In 1968, an improvement to the thrust
reversal system was introduced. A 48-inch tailpipe extension was added and new,
target-style, thrust reversers were incorporated. The thrust reverser doors were set 35
degrees away from the vertical to allow the exhaust to be deflected inboard and over
the wings and outboard and under the wings. The improvement became standard on all
aircraft after March 1969, and a retrofit was provided for active aircraft. Boeing fixed
the drag issue by introducing new longer nacelle/wing fairings, and improved the airflow
over the flaps and slats.
PART 1 – INTRODUCTION

The production line also introduced an improvement to the flap system, allowing
increased use during takeoff and landing. All these changes gave the aircraft a boost to
payload and range, and improved short-field performance. In May 1971, after aircraft
737-200
#135, all improvements, including more powerful engines and a greater fuel capacity,
were incorporated into the 737-200, giving it a 15% increase in payload and range over
the original -200s. This became known as the 737-200 Advanced, which became the
production standard in June 1971.
In 1970, Boeing received only 37 orders. Facing financial difficulties, Boeing considered
closing the 737 production-line and selling the design to Japanese aviation
companies. After the cancellation of the Boeing Supersonic Transport, and scaling back
of 747 production, enough funds were freed up to continue the project. In a bid to
increase sales by offering a variety of options, Boeing offered a 737C (Convertible)
model in both -100 and -200 lengths. This model featured a 134 in × 87 in (340 cm
× 221 cm) freight door just behind the cockpit, and a strengthened floor with rollers,
which allowed for palletized cargo.
A 737QC (Quick Change) version with palletized seating allowed for faster configuration
changes between cargo and passenger flights. With the improved short-field capabilities
of the 737, Boeing offered the option on the -200 of the gravel kit, which enables this
aircraft to operate on remote, unpaved runways. Until retiring its -200 fleet in
2007, Alaska Airlines used this option for some of its combi aircraft rural operations

in Alaska. Northern Canadian operators Air Inuit, Air North, Canadian North, First
Air and Nolinor Aviation still operate the gravel kit aircraft in Northern Canada, where
gravel runways are common.

This plane feels old. Hell, even the CIVA (Delco Carousel IV-A) that can be equipped in the cockpit feels like something that no one knows how to use anymore. Researching information on
that plane felt like a history lesson just as much as a lesson on where this myth about the “golden age of aviation” comes from. The 737-200 modelled by FlyJSim is a real gem of intricacies.
The old JT8D-15A engines can frequently enter compressor stalls (various popping sounds followed by loss of power) if the pilot slams the throttle too aggressively. Exceeding engine safety
737-200
limits also causes engines fires, which means that following the procedures of this temperamental jet is not an option.
However, “old” does not necessarily mean “boring”. If you ever step into a 737 NG or 737 MAX’s
cockpit, you will notice that there is a lot of commonality between the early 737 cockpit layout and
its modern derivatives, especially on the overhead panel. You will never get bored, trust me.
There is definitely a lot to do in there during the whole flight. The lack of autothrottle makes the
use and monitoring of the autopilot a full-time job by itself. Landing this bird is relatively easy if
you control your speed properly with the throttle, but practicing your flare is essential if you don’t
want to end up with a burst tyre. The experience is even more interesting since the JT8 engine’s
slow response time forces you to fly “ahead of the aircraft” and leaves little room for error. This is
a pilot’s aircraft; flying it manually is quite enjoyable and mastering it in difficult weather
conditions feels really rewarding. The Sperry SP-77 autopilot is old school and clunky; it gives you
limited functionalities, but I think it’s part of the charm of flying one of these early jets.
Overall, this simulation by FlyJSim is a real trip back through time and is well worth the time spent
learning its aging systems and rustic interfaces.

are equipped with synchro mechanisms that transmit the pitch, roll, and
heading shown on the captain and first officer's instruments to an
instrument comparator. The comparator warns of excessive differences
between the Captain and First Officer displays. Even a fault as
far downstream as a jam in, say, the roll mechanism of an ADI triggers a
comparator warning, the instrument comparator thus provides both

Thrust Reverser at

The Thrust Reverser lever can be moved by setting the throttle at IDLE first, then pressing the “TOGGLE
THRUST REVERSERS” binding. This will then link your throttle axis to the thrust reverser lever axis. Moving your
throttle forward will then move the thrust reverser lever AFT, engaging internal clam-shell thrust reversers to
MAX REV. To disengage thrust reversers, set your throttle back to IDLE and press the “TOGGLE THRUST
REVERSERS” binding again. This will set your throttle axis back to the way it was.
Take note that the Reverse Thrust lever can only be engaged if your throttle is at IDLE. The reason for that is a
mechanical stopper that prevents you from engaging thrust reversers at high throttle settings.

In order to do this, we will use a tool called “Online Flight Planner” available
here: http://onlineflightplanner.org/
There are a number of fuel planners available online. These estimates may or
may not be very accurate. There are specific charts created by Boeing to come
up with accurate fuel estimates which are unfortunately not available to the
public. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity we will just use the fuel estimate
that comes from the Flight Planner, which is good enough for the purpose of
this tutorial.

Today’s flight will start from TORONTO / LESTER B. PEARSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
(CYYZ) and our destination will be BOSTON LOGAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KBOS).
Boeing 737-200
In other words, some Youtube tutorials might show you flight routes with certain waypoints that got changed with more recent AIRAC updates. Some waypoints or even airports may not exist anymore. For the
purpose of this tutorial, we will use AIRAC cycle 1805 since I’m writing this tutorial in early May, 2018 (period 05) 2018 (AIRAC cycle 1805).
This is not ideal since some navigation aids may be out of date, but for the Boeing 737 it will not be that big of a deal since the old 737 variant we have does not have a modern FMS (Flight
Management System) installed like the ones on the upgraded/modernized 737s. We will rely on the waypoint coordinates and plug them in the CIVA and we will track VOR beacons for departure and
arrival routes.

FUEL PLANNING
For a flight of approx. 2.5 hours for a flight distance of approx. 400 nm, fuel planning can be
estimated by using http://onlineflightplanner.org/ or by using the Fuel Planning charts from X-
Plane forum user Oculus_Rift.
The OnlineFlightPlanner fuel estimate gives us about 14000 lbs of fuel for a 2.5 hour flight,
while the fuel planning chart Oculus_Rift gives us a less conservative estimate of approx.
12,700 lbs of fuel for a flight distance of approx. 400 nm.
Forum Post:
https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/150639-simple-fuel-planning-chart/
To keep things simple, we’ll take the more conservative estimate and go with
14,000 lbs of fuel. Write that number down, we’ll need it later.
However, back in the 1960’s the network of navigation aids wasn’t as elaborate as it is today. Nowadays,
you can plug in the “PONCT” waypoint in the flight management system and the flight computer will
know what kind of navigation aid it is, where it is and where you are in relationship to it… but back In
the “good old days”, airliners would fly from VOR beacon to VOR beacon, which gave trajectories that
were approximative at best. This is why we will disregard Airways in this flight, which will not really help
us since the 737 has no way to see anything else than basic navigation beacons.
This brings us to the term “Slant Alpha”. You may hear that term in some Youtube tutorials, read about
it in flight simulation forums or even air traffic controllers when they are asking what aircraft category a
pilot is flying. In simple terms, ”Slant Alpha” means that your aircraft only has a transponder mode C
PART 3 – FLIGHT PLANNING
and DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) like VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range). So, no fancy GPS
tracking for you. You will have to navigate using VORs and the CIVA INS (Delco Carousel IV-A Inertial
Navigation System), which will allow you to plug in waypoint coordinates but accumulates drift error
over time, which can make precision flying for terminal navigation close to impossible.
Therefore, in order to have the “complete 737 experience”, this tutorial will show you how to track
VORs (mainly those used for our SIDs and STARs) and also how to track waypoints entered in the CIVA.

737-200 WHAT IS A SID AND A STAR?
A SID (Standard Instrument Departure) is a small initial route
which leads an aircraft from the runway they've just taken off
from to the first point in his/her intended route. An airport usually
has a lot of aircraft departing from it's runways. To save confusion
(and for safety), a busy airport will publish standard routes from
it's runways to the various routes away from that airport. This way
a controller can be sure that even if a steady stream of aircraft is
leaving the airport they will all be following in a nice neat line, one
behind the other (that's the idea anyhow!).
you both know exactly how you are going to approach the airport.
The end of the STAR route will normally leave your aircraft at a
position where controllers can give you final instructions to set
you up for a landing.
SIDs and STARs are quite similar to highways; they have speed
limits and altitude restrictions at certain waypoints to make sure
the air traffic is flying safely and on the same trajectory. It will be
your job to respect these restrictions as best you can.
In other words, you can see SIDs and STARs like road junctions in
the sky that lead to other waypoints and airways from or to your
desired airport. One airport has many SIDs and STARs.
Typically, SIDs and STARs are provided by the ATC (Air Traffic
Controller). Since we’re doing a tutorial, I will just give you the SID
and STAR that we’ll use.

The CIVA (Delco Carousel IV-A) is a payware third-party add-on available on the X-Plane store. You need to buy it for 10 $ in
order to use it and install it. Link: http://store.x-plane.org/CIVA-Navigation-System_p_196.html
12. Make sure the CIVA system is installed correctly in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\X-Plane\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Download\FJS_732_TwinJet_Pro_V3\plugins\xciva
13. The CIVA is actually a plugin that needs to be activated in the Plugin Admin menu since it is de-activated by default.
a) Move your cursor in the upper section of the screen to display the Main Menu
b) Select the “Plugins –> Plugin Admin -> Enable/Disable” menu
c) Find the “CIVA for X-Plane” plugin (click NEXT to cycle plugin pages if required) and make sure it is checked in
green. The CIVA plugin will then be activated.
14. Click the Options menu and make sure the “CIVA INS” option is selected in the “Nav System” field.

16. Next, we need to figure out our waypoint coordinates. Waypoint 0 is our current location
(see previous step), which is given in Decimal Degrees. However, the CIVA only takes
coordinates in Degrees, Minutes, Tenths of Minutes (DM.m). We can use a quick
conversion tool (https://www.directionsmag.com/site/latlong-converter/) to perform this Decimal Degrees
conversion. Alternatively, you can simply multiply by 60 the decimal part of the Decimal
Degrees coordinates to get the Minutes and Tenths of Minutes (M.m) part. DM.m
17. The rest of the waypoint coordinates are already given in our Flight Plan generated on
OnlineFlightPlanner.com, which are given in the Degrees Minutes Seconds format, which
needs to be converted in Degrees, Minutes, Tenths of Minutes. Feel free to use the

05 and follow a heading of 057, then turn to 047 once we reach 1000 ft. We will use the
YTP (PEARSON) VOR as a reference.
a) Set VHF-1 NAV frequency to the frequency of the YTP VOR (116.55 as shown on
the Jeppesen chart).
b) Verify that the TFR switch is set properly, showing that the active frequency is
116.55.
c) We can see on the HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) that we are 1 nm from
the VOR (which is right next to the airport).

20. If you click on the “V card” sub-menu button, you will get your takeoff & landing reference V-Speeds. You
will notice that the airspeed bugs are automatically set on your airspeed indicator.
V1 is the Decision Speed (minimum airspeed in the takeoff, following a failure of the critical engine at VEF, at
which the pilot can continue the takeoff with only the remaining engines), VR is the rotation speed (airspeed
at which the pilot initiates rotation to obtain the scheduled takeoff performance), and V2 is Takeoff Safety
Speed (minimum safe airspeed in the second segment of a climb following an engine failure at 35 ft AGL).
All these V-speeds are computed by FlyJSim for you. In real life, pilots had to figure out the V-speeds
themselves by using charts and a bit of math. Modern-day FMCs (Flight Management Computers) compute
these speeds in a similar fashion, taking the aircraft’s weight, takeoff flap setting and other parameters.

ATIS Frequency (120.825). 24
b) Set VHF-1 COMM ACTIVE radio frequency ATIS
frequency (120.825). Active frequency is indicated
with a small blue light. Due to some minor X-Plane
quirk, in our case we had to set the frequency to
120.80 instead of 120.825 to hear the ATIS properly. 24
c) You should receive the ATIS automated report on
the radio for Niagara Falls. The reported altimeter
setting is 30.12 inches of Hg. 24
d) You can click on the TFR (Transfer) button to set the

• After we performed pushback from gate B22,
we would typically contact the tower for
guidance by saying « AAL119, requesting taxi. »
• The tower would then grant you taxi clearance
by saying « AAL119, taxi to holding position H6
Runway 05 via taxiways 3, Alpha-Juliet (AJ),
Alpha (A), November (N), Echo (E), Golf (G),
Hotel (H).
• This means that we will follow the A line, then
turn left to the N line, then follow G and H line
until holding point H6… and then hold there
until we get our clearance for takeoff.

15. Once you pass transition altitude (3000 ft in Europe, 18000 ft in the US), adjust altimeter setting to
standard barometric pressure (29.92 in Hg). Do it SLOWLY or your autopilot will start freaking out
since you are changing his pressure reference. Using STANDARD pressure is done in order to use
flight levels as a reference. This means you will be using a standard barometric pressure of 29.92 in
Hg, which is also used by other aircraft in the airspace instead of a local one given by an Air Traffic
Controller. If pilots don’t use a “standard” barometric pressure, different aircraft may collide in flight
since they don’t use the same pressure to define their current altitude. This is why higher altitudes
are defined as “flight levels” (i.e. FL330 would be 33000 ft).
16. The ALTITUDE ALERT indication will illuminate once you are 1000 ft from the target altitude (1000
ft). When you reach your cruising ceiling (33,000 ft), the ALT HOLD mode will automatically engage
and the ALT HLD light will turn green. This means that the IAS mode is no longer active; the aircraft

1. When reaching cruising altitude, the autopilot will start
levelling off and automatically switch to ALT HOLD.
2. Once levelled off to 33000 ft, you can control your
cruising speed with your throttle (Yep, there is no
autothrottle on this bad boy). A cruising speed between
Mach 0.7 and Mach 0.74 is recommended.
• Alternatively, you can switch to IAS mode and
control your altitude with your throttle.

737-200 CRUISE
3. When you fly over a waypoint, the CIVA will automatically follow the next one. The FROM-TO
menu will indicate which leg you are currently following. As an example, the CIVA in the picture to
the right shows that we are following the leg from Waypoint 2 (HANKK) to Waypoint 3 (PONCT).

Alternatively, you can use the WY PT CHG technique by typing 0 (your current location) followed by
the waypoint number you want to track, as shown before. This method is like a DIRECT TO since it
will direct the autopilot directly from your position to the waypoint you want to track.

1. So we are finally approaching Boston by following leg 34 on the CIVA (PONCT-KBOS). For descent, we will track
VORs instead of CIVA waypoints since they are easier to track and the CIVA has accumulated drift during the
flight, which will make the approach more difficult than it needs to be.

If airspeed is dropping too low, don’t be scared to throttle up a
little. Once again, the aircraft does not have an auto-throttle… so
the aircraft pitch will vary with throttle input and selected
autopilot modes, which act on the flight control surfaces. If
you’re going too fast, using the speed brake lever is also a viable
option.
