Range for 737

Featured Replies

Good day all. I was wondering if someone can tell me the ranges for the PMDG 737 series. I believe in real life that the 737-700 has the longest range, but it seems that with the PMDG version the 737-700 has a relatively shorter range than the others. Is this true, or is it just my mind playing tricks on me? Thanks for the help as always. -- Jake

Bump.

Boeing 737NG Performance InformationPerformance 737-600/700 Series Typical cruising speed Mach 0.785. Max certificated altitude 41,000ft. 737-600 - Range with 110 pax 2480km (1340nm) or 5648km (3050nm) for HGW version. 737-700 - Range with 126 pax 2852km (1540nm) or 6037km (3260nm) for HGW version.Performance 737-800/900 SeriesTypical cruising speed Mach 0.785. Max certificated altitude 41,000ft. 737-800 - Standard range with 162 passengers 3585km (1990nm) or 5445km (2940nm) for high gross weight version. 737-900 - Standard range with 177 passengers 3815km (2060nm), high gross weight version 5083km (2458nm).

According to the PMDG manual (I don't have FS9 on the computer I am sitting at or I would check the planes themselves), the 737NG can hold 46,063 lbs of fuel (See Limitations p.4-4). Given that, the -600 should be able to fly ~4100nm, the -700 should be able to fly ~4000nm, the -800 should be able to fly ~4000nm, and the -900 should be able to fly 3400nm. These estimates are based the charts provided in the Cruise manual.Bob
