Chris Brady BBJ YT educational info

[RobF2 150]

While catching up on the Virtual 737 "virtual 737 type course" on FB (being run by Ben Watts and Mentour Pilot, came across reference to some excellent 737 educational videos by Chris Brady (author of the excellent publication "The Boeing 737 Technical Guide".

For those also having a blast "flying" the PMDG 737 BBJ around the world, hope you'll also find this 90mins Youtube video fascinating.   

 

Also sorts of interesting info, like:

• 737 winglets were first designed for the BBJ ! (and not for the reason you might expect  🙂 )
• Higher V1 (MCG) speed because of the shorter fuselage
• Why the BBJ 700 has 737-800 flap speeds (they typically use the 800's stronger wing)
• BBJs typically have a MIN takeoff weight (otherwise V1 might be less than V1 (MCG) )
• CG info
• Aux fuel info
• More info on antennae and the avionics bay than you ever thought to ask
• And all sorts of other amazing info

 

Amazing aircraft.....
