Folding air stairs

[iainsmith 9]

Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm new to this forum. Do 737NGs have foldaway airstairs in real life or is this a PMDG fantasy? It seems a brilliant idea to me!Iain

Hi Iain,It is no fantasy :). Boeing offers their customers folding airstairs as a buyer option.Best,Vin ScimonePMDGwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/devteam.jpg

But is there no way to deploy them while we are on the ground?Cheers, Victorhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Victor,No, as these air stairs were supposed to be used as stairways to heaven you can only deploy them enroute above FL300. ;-)On a more serious note. Make sure you chose a model with air stairs. I think only the -700 has them. Then make sure you assign keys to Concord visor extend fully and Concord visor retract fully as these are the commands extending and retracting the stairs.Hope it helps,

Thanks for all the replies. No wonder the 737NG sells so well!:-)Iain
