February 11, 201313 yr What would be the learning curve for 737NGX pilots? Obviously it's a new plane but I guess a lot will be similar such as the MCP and FMC?
February 11, 201313 yr I would assume so, i mean the displays are similar for the most part, most of the systems are automatic including starting, so it shouldnt be that much harder to master.

February 11, 201313 yr I have found the B777 documentation at SmartCockpit.com most useful in preparation for the new aircraft. I believe that, after being used to the B744, the conversion will not be too difficult.

February 11, 201313 yr I would certainly hope so. They are published by Boeing! Cheers, Richard Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.2 GHz, 16 GB memory, 1 TB SSD, GTX 1080 Ti, 28" 4K display Win10-64, P3Dv5, PMDG 748 & 777, Milviz KA350i, ASP3D, vPilot, Navigraph, PFPX, ChasePlane, Orbx
February 12, 201313 yr Commercial Member You'll find that once you've used a study level sim such as one from PMDG, that the rest are very easy to pick up on. The MD-11 was even an easy transition once I figured out all of the MD versus Boeing quirks. Kyle Rodgers
February 12, 201313 yr Author Thats good to hear. I am so excited! I need a longer range aircraft then the 737 in my hanger.
February 13, 201313 yr I am hoping to jump in and fly. 737NGX owners should have an easy time. All the added extras like EFB may tie us up. I got my throttles for the 777.
