Maybe the next time I'm laid off, I'll try to find a European operator.

Spoken like a true airline employee.

I was dead sure, although 16 years away from an aircraft can leave things a little blurry, sorry for any misguidance here, totally my fault....So correctly, the MCP window will show V2 but the speed bug will display V2+20... Oh darnation....

I'm not sure I could find the cockpit on the previous aircraft I flew, and that was only 4 years ago. Well, not that we've go that cleared up, what should we work on next? How about the JFK assassination?

Oh bugger, I've been set straight, so, to swallow my pride, sorry about that, I was dead sure, although 16 years away from an aircraft can leave things a little blurry, sorry for any misguidance here, totally my fault.... Oh darnation....

Haha, the mighty and wise Rónán is finally thrown by a question, at least ya can admit it when you were wrong! See ya on thursday, can't wait ;D

The mark of a good pilot and especially a captain, according to my flight school instructors back in the day, and now myself as I have come to realize that no one is right 100% of the time. Being able to admit a mistake should be the norm. In the aviation industry that trait can save lives. For example: "Yeah...I put the bird down a little hard earlier, probably should get maintenance to check it." Otherwise, aircraft crashes with many deaths and no one realizes where the stress fractures came from that caused in-flight break up. Extreme example, but the point is made! :D

Well I'm flattered but still, that doesn't excuse me from the confusion I've caused...

I'm current on both Classics and NG, and the guidance is the same:

Anyways, I see from your post that you're rated on both the CL and the NG, I'm in rather a predicament atm, you wouldn't happen to have the differences document that goes between the classic and the NG would you? It'd be much appreciated...Rónán O Cadhain.

I've got my company "system handbooks" - their FCOMs for each plane - Boeing AFMs, and a "Flight Handbook" that combines operational notes for each. But, I don't have one document that has the differences.I don't mind digging around if you're looking for something specific.

No, it looks like ya don't have it, when crews transitioned from the classics to the NGs back in the day, they were issued with about a 50 page document that detailed the bare minimum needed on the important differences between the types. Perhaps you can find it, if not, no bother I'll keep searching, it's bound to turn up some time or another. Thanks,Rónán.

Rónán, this powerpoint presentation isn't exactly what you're after, but it might be of some use:http://www.b737mrg.net/downloads/newB737SOP.pps

Thanks, certainly helps, not quite what I was looking for but it's very informative anyways,Thanks,Rónán.

Right, sorry this took so long, I've been a bit busy for the past two days with all the floods we have here in Ireland....So I got a copy of the old manual and I can now definitely confirm, with 100% certainty, that V2 IS SET in the MCP and then the Speed tape on the PFD will automatically augment that speed by 20 kts once you lift off...That's the end now to any confusion that may have been caused...Sorry Again,Rónán O Cadhain.

That's good to know. Thanks Rónán!
