Honing My Skills With the European Airlines 737-600!

Here we go! Among the European Airlines usual flights with the Boeing 737-200, I took some time to make my hand on the 737-600 before putting it fully in service! Enjoy!

We are in Brussels National (EBBR), Belgium. My FO completed the preflight check

A view of a modern flight deck! Years I'm flying aside modernity :):)

Preflight procedure (mostly the overhead scan)

We are parked in front of the hangar (with two planes now, one has to stay there while we fly the other). Weather begins to be poor over EBBR

A long taxi to runway 02! The plane behaving correctly

Taking off, and retracting landing gear! We are to fly circuits and touch-and-goes!

The well-loved figure of my FO (well liked by some ) is no more available :(

Belgium below. Likely potatoe fields beyond trees :):)

Back to runway 02 to test the approach gear!

More approach! Our 737-600 is even fitted with that HUD! Cool, and modern!

Thanks Larry!

Yes, VC it's night and day compared to what I have in the 737-200! However, the less long distances of European Airlines will keep be flown with the 200 :):)

Wow, I see a lot of buttons. Do they all work, I mean, if you push on them, out of curiosity, does something really happen? :eek::eek:

 

Hi Jan! No they don't all work, but some does (like starting engines!, lights, radios), and in concordance with a 2D overhead panel, battery, APU. But for a complete working, I would have to pass to a payware! :):)

Anyway, the next flight might well be back with the 737-200!
