2. Introduction

2.1 General
The Transport Canada Flight Technical and Operator Certification (FTOC) section of the
Civil Aviation Standards Branch is responsible for the TCCA Operational Evaluation
(OE) program. FTOC’s objectives during the operational evaluation of a new or
modified aircraft are to determine:
1. The acceptability of a manufacturers training program for use by Canadian
operators;
2. Pilot qualification and type rating requirements including training, checking, and
currency requirements, and;
3. The operational suitability of an aircraft type.
This report lists those determinations for use by:
1. TCCA Inspectors who approve training programs;
2. TCCA inspectors; Approved Check Pilots (ACPs) who conduct Pilot Proficiency
Checks (PPCs) and Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) Evaluators who
conduct Line Operational Evaluations (LOEs); and
3. Aircraft operators and training providers, to assist them in developing their flight-
crew member training, checking and currency programs.
Determinations made in this report are based on the evaluations of specific B-737
series made in accordance with current regulations, standards and guidance.
Modifications and upgrades made to the series described herein, or introduction of new
related aircraft, may require amendment of the findings in this report.
NOTE
This report does not grant TCCA training program Approval. It is incumbent upon the
air operators to ensure their B-737 training program is approved by the Minister in
accordance with the Commercial Air Service Standards and with the material
indicated in this report.

2.2 Regulatory Requirements / Language


This OE report uses mandatory terms such as “must”, “shall” and “is/are required” in
order to convey the intent of the Regulatory requirements and other guidance
documents. The term “should” is to be understood to mean that the proposed method of
compliance must be used, unless an alternate means of compliance has been
determined and approved.

Page 5 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

4. General

4.1 Scope of Report


This OE report applies to all series of the Boeing 737 (B-737). The contents of this
report are harmonized with the FAA, EASA, and ANAC (Brazil) to the maximum extent
possible.
NOTE
This report refers to B-737 aircraft by their TCDS/ Master Series identifier (e.g. B-
737-800 or B-737-8), by their marketing names (e.g. B-737, B-737CL, B-737NG or B-
737 MAX) or by their Pilot Type Rating designators (B73A, B73B or B73C) as
necessary for convenience and clarity.

4.2 Guidance Material


The TCCA OE evaluations were conducted in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular
(AC) 120-53B, Guidance for Conducting and Use of Flight Standardization Board (FSB)
Evaluations, and the JAA/FAA/TCCA Common Procedures Document (CPD) for
Operational Evaluation Boards.

4.3 OE Report Effectiveness


Provisions of this report are effective until amended, superseded, or withdrawn by
subsequent OE findings.
TCCA reserves the responsibility and authority to re-evaluate and modify sections of
this report based on new or revised advisory material, amended Canadian Aviation
Regulations (CARs), aircraft operating experience, or the evaluation of new or modified
aircraft under the provisions of the CPD or FAA AC 120-53B.

4.4 Application of OE Report


All relevant parts of this report are applicable on the effective date of this report.

4.5 Alternate Means of Compliance


The OEB Chairman, the Program Manager of FTOC and/or the Program Manager
Airline Standards should be consulted when alternate means of compliance, other than
those specified in this report, are proposed. An applicant will be required to submit a
proposed alternate means that provides an equivalent level of safety to the provisions of
the CARs and this OE report. Analysis, demonstrations, proof of concept testing,
differences documentation, and/or other substantiation may be required.

Page 8 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

In the event that alternate compliance is sought, training program credits, simulator
approvals, and device approvals may be significantly limited and reporting requirements
may be increased to ensure equivalent levels of training, checking, and currency are
maintained. TCCA will generally not consider relief through alternate compliance
means unless sufficient lead-time has been planned by an operator to allow for any
necessary testing and evaluation.

4.6 AQP/OEB Report relationship


Where an air operator has an approved AQP, differences between this report and an
operator’s proposed training, checking, and currency requirements under an AQP
should be substantiated and documented as part of the operator’s AQP approval
process. Program approvals under AQP need to ensure the provisions and
requirements of this report have been addressed, and where necessary, coordination
with the OEB has been completed.

4.7 Boeing 737 MAX Initial Type Training, STAR and PEC course evaluations
TCCA conducted a joint operational evaluation with the FAA (lead authority) and EASA
of three separate B-737-8 type training courses in March and April of 2017 in Miami, FL
and Seattle, WA using a T5 evaluation process.
The three courses included an initial type training course, an FAA Shortened Transition
and Rating (STAR) course and an EASA Previous Experience Credit (PEC) course.
The initial type training course had a 26 day footprint, while the STAR/PEC courses had
an 18 day footprint. The reduced footprint of the STAR and PEC courses was achieved
by giving credit to pilots qualified on other Boeing types for commonality in flight deck
layout, operational philosophy, and similar handling characteristics. Pilots from all three
authorities with B-757 and B-787 experience evaluated the STAR and PEC courses.
The three courses were found to be acceptable by TCCA for use as the basis of an air
operator’s or private operator’s training program.

4.8 Differences between Boeing 737 MAX and Boeing 737NG


In August 2016, TCCA participated jointly with the FAA (lead authority) and EASA to
evaluate differences from the Boeing 737NG (B-737-800) to the Boeing 737 MAX (B-
737-8) using a T2/T3 evaluation process.
NOTE
The B-737-800 (Serial Number YT951) used to compare differences with the B-737-8
incorporated the Short Field Performance (SFP) enhancements of the B-737-
800SFP.

Page 9 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

Master Training and Checking Differences of B/B respectively were established in the
transition from the Boeing 737NG to the Boeing 737 MAX. The same B73C Pilot Type
Rating as the Boeing 737NG was assigned to the B-737-8.
In September 2017, TCCA, the FAA and EASA jointly evaluated differences from the B-
737 MAX (B737-8) to the B-737NG (B-737-800) using a T2/T3 evaluation process.
Master Level B/B differences were established in the transition from the B-737 MAX to
the B-737NG.

4.9 Differences between B-737-8 and B-737-9


In September 2017, TCCA, the FAA and EASA jointly evaluated differences from the B-
737-8 to the B-737-9 using a T1 evaluation process. Master Level A/A differences were
established between the B-737-8 and B-737-9. The B-737-9 is incorporated into the B-
737 MAX family aircraft into the Appendix 2 MDR Table.
NOTE
The B-737-9 has not been type certified in Canada and is therefore not included on
the TCCA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) A-146, nor assigned a TCCA Pilot
Type Rating designator.

4.10 Boeing 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF)


TCCA has validated by analysis the differences established by the FAA FSB between
the B-737-800 and B-737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF). The FAA analysis
identified that the B-737-800BCF is functionally equivalent to the B-737-800. The B-737-
800BCF is incorporated into the B-737NG family aircraft into the Appendix 2 MDR
Table. The B-737-800BCF, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be
operationally suitable by the FAA.
NOTE
The B-737-800BCF has not been type certified in Canada and is therefore not
included on the TCCA TCDS A-146, nor assigned a TCCA Pilot Type Rating
designator.

4.11 Rockwell Collins right seat Head Up Display (HUD) installation


In April 2018, the FAA FSB conducted flight evaluations of the Rockwell Collins right
seat Head-Up Display (HUD) installation. The FSB found the right seat HUD and the
use of dual HUD operations to be operationally suitable. This Operational Evaluation
Board Report has been revised to add the optional equipment training requirements
where necessary.

Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

4.12 Boeing 737-8 Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) MAX 8


TCCA has validated by analysis the FAA FSB determination established in April 2018
that the BBJ MAX 8 is functionally equivalent to the BBJ 2 (Boeing 737-800 BBJ)
aircraft. The BBJ MAX 8 is incorporated into the B-737 MAX family aircraft into
Appendix 2, MDR Table. The BBJ MAX 8, as well as the associated AFM change, was
found to be operationally suitable, by the FAA.
NOTE
The Boeing Business Jet series (BBJ1/BBJ, BBJ2, BBJ3 or BBJ MAX 8) have not
been type certified in Canada and are therefore not on the TCCA TCDS A-146, nor
assigned a TCCA Pilot Type Rating designator.

4.13 Revised Flight Control Computer (FCC) software evaluation


In March 2019, the FAA FSB with TCCA and EASA conducted a T2 handling quality
evaluation of revised Flight Control Computer (FCC P11.1) software between the B-
737-800 and the B-737-8. This operational evaluation determined that the handling
qualities between the B-737-800 and the B-737-8 validated the original T2 evaluation
results conducted in August 2016. Subsequently in March 2019, the FAA FSB
conducted an additional T1 functional equivalence evaluation with the new FCC
software version P12.1. This evaluation determined functional equivalence between
software versions FCC P11.1 and P12.1 with regards to airplane handling qualities and
pilot training.

4.14 Joint Operational Evaluation Board (JOEB) Evaluation of Boeing 737 MAX
design changes
In September 2020, TCCA, EASA and ANAC conducted a Joint Operational Evaluation
Board (JOEB) under the leadership of the FAA FSB to evaluate the updated 737-8 FCC
software version P12.1.2, revised Non-Normal Checklists (NNCs), and all proposed pilot
training in support of B-737-8 and B-737-9 design changes. The JOEB determined the
updated software version FCC P12.1.2 was operationally suitable. In addition, the JOEB
determined that the Boeing training evaluated, was acceptable for use by Canadian
Operators. Specific training requirements are listed in Appendix 7 of this OEB Report.

4.15 Boeing 737-8200


TCCA has validated by analysis the FAA FSB determination established in January
2021 that the B-737-8200 is functionally equivalent to the B-737 MAX 8 aircraft. The B-
737-8200, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be operationally
suitable, by the FAA. Master Level A/A differences were established between the B-

Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

737-8 and the B-737-8200. The B-737-8200 is incorporated into the B-737 MAX family
aircraft into the Appendix 2 MDR Table.
NOTE
The Boeing 737-8200 has not been type certified in Canada and is therefore not on
the TCCA TCDS A-146, nor assigned a TCCA Pilot Type Rating designator.

4.16 Appendix 8 - Purpose


The title of the Appendix 8 is Supplemental training guidance to TCCA OE report for B-
737.
The purpose of Appendix 8 is to provide guidance on new training incorporated into

NOTES

(1) The B-737-100/-200/-200C series aircraft are not included on TCDS A-146.
These aircraft were accepted by TCCA prior to 1970, under the terms of the
Canada/U.S. Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement.
(2) The B-737-700C/-900/-900 Extended Range (ER) series, the Boeing Business
Jet Aircraft (BBJ1, BBJ2, BBJ 3 and BBJ MAX 8, and the B-737-8200/-9) have
not been type certified in Canada and are therefore not included on TCDS A-146,
nor assigned a TCCA Pilot Type Rating designator.
(3) The FAA has assigned the B-737 Pilot Type rating to all series of the Boeing 737,
but have grouped the series by marketing names (Boeing 737, Boeing 737CL,
Boeing 737NG and Boeing 737 MAX), which correspond to the TCCA pilot type
ratings (B73A, B73B and B73C).
(4) The B-737-800SFP is a Short Field Performance enhancement to the B-737-800.
The B-737-800SFP has differences in auto-slats, flap load relief, flap/slat
sequencing and spoiler deflection compared to the “standard” B-737-800. This
enhancement is basic to the B-737 MAX.
(5) The BBJ 1 is a B-737-700 series with Primary Flight Display (PFD)/Navigation
Display (ND) and HUD. The BBJ 2 is a B-737-800 series with PFD/ND and
HUD. The BBJ 3 is a B-737-900ER series with PFD/ND and HUD. The BBJ
MAX 8 is a B-737-8 series with HUD.

Page 24 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

9.2.2.5 Runaway stabilizer


Applicable to all series of the B-737:
Training must emphasize runaway stabilizer recognition and timely pilot actions required
by the Runaway Stabilizer NNC:
i. Demonstrate control column functionality and its effect on a runaway
stabilizer condition;
ii. Emphasize the need to reduce control column forces with main
electric stabilizer trim prior to selecting STAB TRIM cutout.
This item must be included in initial or transition training and must be accomplished at
least once every 36 months during recurrent training.
NOTE
Runaway Stabilizer flight simulator training must be conducted using the ATA 27
malfunction titled Stabilizer Runaway (also known as the Dual Wire short
malfunction). Use of the ATA 27 malfunction, Stabilizer Runaway – Trim Switch (also
known as the Electric Trim Switch Malfunction) is not permitted for use in Runaway
Stabilizer flight training. Operators should ensure that the appropriate Runaway
Stabilizer malfunction is incorporated into their FFS, prior to Runaway Stabilizer
training. The TCCA National Simulator Evaluation Program (NSEP) should be
consulted on the incorporation of malfunctions into the FFS and the subsequent
qualification of the FFS for training.
9.2.2.6 Multiple Flight Deck Alerts during Non-Normal Conditions
Applicable to all series of the B-737:
Flight crew training must include scenario-based training for initial, upgrade, transition,
and recurrent flight crew training where a single malfunction results in multiple flight
deck alerts that require timely pilot actions to include:
• Recognition and interpretation of the non-normal condition.
• Prioritization of the required pilot actions
9.2.2.7 Unreliable airspeed
This training applies to pilots flying the B-737NG, B-737 MAX, or conducting B-
737NG/B-737 MAX Mixed Fleet Flying (MFF).
Training must include erroneous high angle of attack (AOA) malfunctions. This training
must also include a demonstration of Flight Director (FD) behavior (biasing out of view)
during a go-around or missed approach.

Page 25 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

Training must include the discretionary deactivation of nuisance stick shaker in


accordance with Airspeed Unreliable NNC.
This item must be included in initial, transition, and differences training and must be
accomplished at least once every 36 months during recurrent training. Either pilot may
serve as pilot flying (PF) for this training task.
Recurrent training may be accomplished in either a B-737NG or B-737 MAX FFS.
9.2.3 Tail strike avoidance
Each operator’s training program should address tail strike potential during takeoff and
landing. The B-737-400/-800/-900/-900ER/-8 and -9 series aircraft are slightly more
susceptible to tail strike due to their increased fuselage lengths.
9.2.4 Two position Tail skid
The B-737-900ER, B-737-800 SFP, B-737-8, and B-737-9 have a dual tail skid
configuration to protect the aft fuselage during landings (the dual tail skid is optional for
the B-737-800SFP, and -8). Approach speeds may be reduced with the protection
provided by the two-position tail skid. The resultant approach speeds and body
attitudes of the B-737-800SFP, -8, and -9 with the two position tail skid are similar to
that of the 737-700.
9.2.5 Landing de-rotation
The B-737-800SFP has been found to have greater than normal landing de-rotation
rates (i.e. higher than normal nose gear sink rate). In the interest of commonality with
all series of the B-737s, pilots should be trained to fly the nose wheel smoothly onto the
runway without delay on landing, and avoid attempting to hold the nose-wheels off of
the runway.

9.3 Specific flight characteristics


There are no specific flight characteristics.

9.4 Seat dependent tasks


Pilots must receive initial, transition, upgrade, and recurrent training in these seat
dependent tasks:
a) HUD (left seat (right seat, when installed)); initial, transition, upgrade, and
recurrent training.
b) Nosewheel steering (left seat, right seat, when installed); initial, transition,
upgrade, and recurrent training.

Page 26 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

c) Manual Landing Gear Extension (right seat); initial, transition and recurrent
training.

9.5 Training requirements not applicable to the B-737 series


9.5.1 Tuck and Mach buffet training
The B-737, B-737CL, B-737NG, and B-737 MAX do not exhibit any Mach Tuck
tendency and therefore no training is required for this flight maneuver. Demonstration of
the aircraft’s overspeed protection capabilities is an acceptable substitute.
9.5.2 Fuel Jettisoning
The B-737, B-737CL, B-737NG, and B-737 MAX do not have fuel jettisoning capability.

9.6 Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTD)


An approved Level C of D B-737 FFS equipped with day and night visual scenes that is
representative of an operator’s specific B-737 configuration is required for flight training.
The flight training for the B-737 MAX required in Appendix 7 of this report must be
conducted in a in a suitably qualified B-737 MAX Level C or D FFS, that meets Upset
Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) requirements. The FFS must have installed
a Binary Simulation Load revision 3.23.4_3 or higher and FCC software version P12.1.2
must be assured to be active. For B-737 MAX pilots conducting B-737NG/B-737 MAX
MFF, some flight training exercises may be conducted in a suitably qualified B-737NG
Level C or D FFS only where indicated in the Appendix 7.
Stabilizer Trim and Runaway Stabilizer training for all B-737s requires a FFS that has
the required flight deck effects for this training. The manual stabilizer trim system must
be representative of proper control forces and travel system operation.
NOTE
Runaway Stabilizer flight simulator training must be conducted using the ATA 27
malfunction titled Stabilizer Runaway (also known as the Dual Wire short
malfunction). Use of the ATA 27 malfunction, Stabilizer Runaway – Trim Switch (also
known as the Electric Trim Switch Malfunction) is not permitted for use in Runaway
Stabilizer flight training. Operators should ensure that the appropriate Runaway
Stabilizer malfunction is incorporated into their FFS, prior to Runaway Stabilizer
training. The TCCA National Simulator Evaluation Program (NSEP) should be
consulted on the incorporation of malfunctions into the FFS and the subsequent
qualification of the FFS for training.
The FFS requirements for Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) training is provided in
Annex 1 of Appendix 5 of this report.

Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

9.9 B-737 MAX special training for flight crews


Completion of the ground and flight training specified in Appendix 7 is required before
flying the B-737 MAX.

9.10 Landing from a No flap or Non standard flap approach


The probability of flap extension failure on the B-737 is extremely remote due to system
design, therefore a demonstration of a no-flap approach and landing is not required
during training.
A partial flap approach and landing, with the leading edge devices in either the extend
or full extend position, and trailing edge flaps less than 15, is required during initial flight
training.

10. Pilot checking

10.1
Reserved

10.2 Specific flight characteristics


There are no specific flight characteristics.

10.3 Seat dependent tasks


During initial, transition, and upgrade checking, pilots must be checked in these seat
dependent tasks:
a) HUD (left seat; right seat when installed).
b) Nosewheel steering (left seat; right seat when installed)

10.4 Other checking items


10.4.1 Precision approach using HUD and EFVS.
When HUD and/or EFVS use is approved, checking must include suitable
demonstration of HUD and/or EFVS use for modes and phases of flight authorized;
10.4.2 HUD vs. FD and Raw Data.
When HUD and/or EFVS is installed, PPC maneuvers, Line Oriented Flight Training
(LOFT), Line Oriented Simulation (LOS) or other demonstrations may be completed
using HUD at the check pilot’s/inspector’s discretion. However, periodic assessment of
non-HUD skills should be demonstrated, and at any time a check pilot/inspector may at
their discretion request that authorized maneuvers be performed without use of HUD
(e.g. if manual CAT I FD operations are authorized, the pilot being checked may be
requested to perform the maneuver without HUD).

10.5 FSTD
An approved Level C of D B-737 FFS equipped with day and night visual scenes that is
representative of an operator’s specific B-737 configuration is required for checking.
The FFS requirements for Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) checking is provided
in Annex 1 of Appendix 5 of this report.

10.6 Equipment
There are no specific systems or procedures that are unique to the B-737 series aircraft
that require specific equipment.

Page 32 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

10.7 Differences Checking between Related Aircraft


10.7.1 Alternating PPC for B73A, B73B and B73C
For mixed-fleet-flying between different pilot type ratings, PPCs should alternate each
six months for PICs, and annually for other flight crew members.
When such alternating checks are accomplished, the differences assessment of other
series applicable to that pilot type rating being checked (e.g. either B-737-100/-200
(B73A), B-737-300/-400/-500 (B73B) and/or B-737-600/-700/-800 and/or B-737-8
(B73C)) may be satisfied by ground training, written questionnaire, oral review, or other
method approved by the Principal Operations Inspector (POI) or Technical Team
Leader (TTL). However, such simplified programs may not be approved if they result in
progressive loss of knowledge or skills related to particular differences over successive
recurrent periods.
NOTE
Pilots transitioning from one B-737 Pilot Type Rating to another (e.g. B73B to B73C)
or conducting Mixed Fleet Flying (MFF) with different B-737 Pilot Type Ratings (e.g.
B73B and B73C) require exemptions to specific provisions of CAR 705.106, CASS
725.106 and CAR 705.113. Appendices 2, 3 and 4 provide the training, checking
and transition credits between the B-737 series aircraft.
10.7.2 FMS demonstration of competency/checks
Checking for differences related to a series having FMS must include a demonstration
of competency covering both an oral/written exam and demonstration of proficiency with
both normal and non-normal procedures. FMS proficiency should be demonstrated with
“hands-on” operation, and address each applicable FMS mode or function. Specific
items and flight phases to be checked may include initialization, takeoff, departure,
cruise, arrival, precision and Non-Precision Approach (NPA), missed approach, holding,
diversion to an alternate or route re-clearance, and pertinent non-normal scenarios.
Scenarios used should include routes, airports, ATC situations, and other factors, which
are representative of, or present equivalent complexity to those anticipated for that
operator. FMS competency may be demonstrated in conjunction with other checking.

13. Miscellaneous

13.1 ETOPS
The B-737-600/-700/-800 and B-737-8 meet TCCA certification criteria for 180-minute
ETOPS operations. TCCA operational approval is required to conduct ETOPS.

13.2 FAA approvals for ETOPS


 The B-737-200 and B-737CL aircraft are approved for 120-minute ETOPS.
 The B-737NG aircraft are approved for 180-minute ETOPS (see note below).
 The B-737 MAX aircraft are approved for 180-minute ETOPS.
NOTE: The B-737-800BCF is not approved for ETOPS.

13.3 Forward Observer Seat


The B-737, B-737CL, B-737NG and B-737 MAX forward center observer seat has been
evaluated by the FAA and determined to meet the requirements of FAR 121.581(a),
FAR 125.317(b), FAR 135.75(b) and Advisory Circular (AC) 120-83. TCCA has
accepted the findings of the FAA in the absence of any TCCA regulatory criteria
regarding a forward observer seat.

13.4 Landing Minima categories


Approach Category for B-737 series aircraft is as follows:

Aircraft Category

B-737 C

B737CL C

B-737-600/700 C

B-737-800/900/900ER C or D

B-737 MAX C or D

NOTE

Due to the numerous maximum landing weight options among the B-737NG and the
B-737 MAX, determining an aircraft approach category may be done using the
certificated maximum flap setting of 40º and the particular airplane’s AFM maximum
certificated landing weight.

FOOT NOTES TO MDR TABLE:

C* - Level C training or checking, which requires use of a Level 5 FSTD or higher.

D* - Prior to operating the 737 MAX aircraft with FCC software version P12.1.2 or newer, each pilot must complete the
required training outlined in Appendix 7. Appendix 7 serves as special training for ground and flight training
requirements for 737 MAX pilot qualification. The asterisk MDR annotation, “(D*) B/B” is intentionally used in the table
to call attention. Level C or D full flight simulator (FFS C-D) is required for the D* training.

(1) All Model 737-200 series airplanes having serial numbers 20492 and subsequent are the -200 advanced (737-200
ADV) series airplane and require Level B differences training when transitioning from the 737-100/-200. All earlier
airplanes can be kit-modified to the advanced configuration.

(2) Limited FMS pertains to B-737CL aeroplanes which retain partial FMS functions.

(3) C level training requirement may be satisfied by interactive CBT.

(4) The B-737-700C/-800BCF/-900/-900ER/-BBJ1/-BBJ2/-BBJ3 are not type certified in Canada and are not included in
the B73C pilot type rating designator. Refer to Note 2 in Section 8.0, following Table 1.

(5) The B-737-8200/-9/BBJ MAX 8 are not type certified in Canada and are not included in the B73C pilot type rating
designator. Refer to Note 2 in Section 8.0, following Table 1.

Appendix 4 – Transition Line Indoctrination (TLI)

Operating Experience for flying multiple series may be accomplished in any B-737
series aircraft. Additional Transition Line Indoctrination (TLI) must be accomplished in
accordance with the table below for those flight crews flying the series listed. When
differences training relates to qualification for FMS, TLI must also include use of
FMS. Such FMS required STLI pertinent to each flight crew member must be obtained
while serving in a flight crew position and include FMS operation. However, LOFT
involving FMS operation in an appropriately configured Level C or Level D FFS may be
substituted.

When differences training relates to qualification for PFD/ND, TLI must also include use
of PFD/ND. Such PFD/ND required TLI pertinent to each flight crew member must be
obtained while serving in a flight crew position and includes PFD/ND operation. For
flight crew members with previous EFIS experience, a 4 hour LOFT session involving
PFD/ND operation in an appropriately configured FSTD (minimum of a level 5 FTD),
may be substituted for 2 TLI Legs as specified in the table below.

Appendix 5 – Head Up Display (HUD) qualification program

1.0 Background
The B-737NG and B-737 MAX (B73C) may be equipped with an optional single or dual
HUD, available through a Rockwell Collins (RC) STC. The B-737NG may be equipped
with RC HUD models HGS-2850 (early B-737-700) and HGS-4000. The B-737 MAX
may be equipped with the RC HGS-6000 HUD. Both the RC HGS-4000 and HGS-6000
HUDs are equivalent in functionality. The RC HGS-4000 HUD is capable of supporting
an Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS).
This appendix provides the training, checking and currency requirements for the
operational use by operators of a single or dual HUD for all phases of flight the HUD is
certified for and the operator is authorized to conduct. Annex 1 provides additional pilot
qualification requirements for the EFVS.
NOTES

1. For the purposes of this appendix, the term HUD is used generically to refer to a
Head Up Display. The term HGS refers to a Head Up Guidance System (HGS),
which is a RC HUD equipped with flight guidance for low and reduced visibility
operations. This appendix refers to the terms HUD or HGS as applicable.
2. This appendix does not apply to the RC HGS-2850 HUD.
3. The use of an HGS for low visibility take-off, approach and/or landing by
Canadian operators requires a Transport Canada Special Authorization/Specific
Approval (SA). Sections 9.0 and 10.0 of this appendix provides the training and
checking requirements for conducting taxi and take-off operations using the HUD
(HGS) during reduced and low visibility operations.

2.0 HUD training – General


The HUD qualification requirements of this appendix are necessary to meet the
requirements of CAR 705 or CAR 604, for the initial type training of Canadian pilots to
operate the B73C using a single or dual HUD in a commercial air service or by a private
operator.
The HUD pilot training requirements consist of those related to initial and recurrent
ground and flight training. Unless covered concurrently during an initial or transition
type rating course, a prerequisite to beginning this course of training is prior training,
qualification and currency on the B737C.

Page 83 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

NOTE:

For single HUD operation, training focuses principally upon training events flown in
the left seat by the Pilot-In-Command (PIC) as Pilot Flying (PF). SIC indoctrination
and training is essential. HUD training of Pilot Monitoring (PM) Second-In-Command
(SIC) duties in the right seat is required, when there are SOP differences for the PM,
when the PF is heads up (compared to heads down). SIC HUD familiarization flown
in the left seat is recommended.

2.1 General requirements


2.1.1 The operator should develop procedures in its Company Operating Manual (COM)
for the guidance of its personnel; including:
a. Normal, non-normal and emergency procedures for all phases of flight for
which the HUD is intended to be used;
b. Procedures for use of the HUD should include crew Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs), duties and responsibilities that are specific to each
crew position.
2.1.2 Ground and Flight Training should be provided in the operation of the aeroplane
using the HUD in all phases of flight and weather conditions for which the operator
is authorized in the operator’s Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and the HUD system
is certified in the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) or supplement.
2.1.3 A TCCA approved Level C or higher B73C Full Flight Simulator (FFS) equipped
with the operator’s specific HUD configuration with day and night visual displays, is
required for HUD flight training and checking.

3.0 HUD Initial Ground Training

3.1 General requirements


Training for air operators should be conducted in accordance with the applicable
provisions of CAR 705.124. Training for private operators should be conducted with the
applicable training requirements for CAR 604.

3.1.12 Demonstration of expected visual references with weather at minimum


conditions.

3.1.13 Expected sequence of visual cues during an approach in which visibility is at or


above landing minima.

4.0 HUD Initial Flight Training


Unless integrated with initial or transition type rating training, flight training dedicated to
HUD familiarization and proficiency is in addition to other required training.

Page 85 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

NOTE

The flight training requirements within this appendix should not be construed to
dictate or limit the scope or content of the course of instruction. Each operator has
their own unique requirements, route structure, fleet composition and operations
policies to consider in developing their training program. Therefore, what follows is to
be considered a guide to operators who are tailoring a HUD training program to fit
their own needs.

4.1 Ground operations


Flight training for ground operations using HUD should include:
4.1.1 HUD deployment, set up and stowage.

4.1.2 Proper pilot eye reference position.

4.1.3 HUD Pre-flight checks including selection of required modes.

4.1.4 Setting of appropriate HUD brightness levels using all brightness controls.

4.1.5 Appropriate and effective use of HUD during ground operations and maneuvers;

4.1.6 Taxi using HUD under day, night, reduced and low visibility conditions.

4.2 Airborne training


Flight Training for in-flight use of HUD should include:

4.2.1 Incorporation of HUD into instrument scan and integration of conventional


displays into scan.

4.2.2 Demonstration and explanation of unique HUD symbology and commonality with
head down displays.

4.2.3 Demonstration of effects of cross-wind including indications of drift and non-


conformal displays.

4.2.4 Manual control of the aircraft including climbs, descents, turns, steep turns,
accelerations and decelerations.

4.2.5 Recognition and recovery from an excessive angle of attack including stall warning
and low airspeed.

4.2.6 Recognition and recovery from flight at excessive airspeed.

Page 86 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

4.2.7 Recognition and recovery from an aeroplane upset/unusual attitude.

4.2.8 Use of HUD with an approved sunvisor or sunscreen under various daytime
lighting conditions.

4.2.9 Vectors to intercept and track selected courses.

4.3 Visual take-offs, Circuits, approaches and landings


Sufficient maneuvers should be flown in visual conditions to demonstrate HUD
symbology and use in relation to glide path, centerline control and crosswind conditions.
All visual approaches should be flown from no closer than approximately 1,000 feet
AGL (3 - 4 NM) to the runway threshold. Flight Training for visual take-offs, circuits,
approaches and landings using HUD should include:

4.3.1 Take-off, circuit, approach and landings. Take-offs and landings should be with no
wind and repeated with 10 knots crosswind day and night.

4.3.2 “Black hole effect” landings; i.e. Landing on a moonless or overcast night, over
water or over dark featureless terrain where the only visual stimuli are lights on
and/or near the airport.

4.3.3 Appropriate use of HUD symbology to establish desired descent angle.

4.3.4 Rejected landing and/or Low energy go-around

4.3.5 Visual Approaches (VMC mode) to include:

i. One approach showing deviations above and below glideslope for


symbology/runway relationship
ii. Straight-in landings with no wind, and repeated with 10 knot crosswind and
at night.

iii. Circling approaches and landing (for operators authorized to conduct


circling approaches) with 10 knot crosswind.

NOTES

1 One half of these (VMC mode) approaches should be flown at different


airports which have dissimilar approach and runway lighting systems.

Page 87 of 174
Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

2 Special emphasis should be placed on optimizing circling approach


techniques and procedures, for operators authorized to conduct circling
approaches.
3 Approaches with the aircraft in a non-normal flap configuration should be
included.

4.4 Instrument Procedures and Approaches:


Sufficient precision and non-precision instrument approaches, missed approaches and
landings with appropriate weather minimums should be flown to gain proficiency in
these maneuvers. All required approaches should be flown from no closer than the
final approach fix (FAF). Use of the HUD for circling approaches should be trained (for
those operators conducting circling approaches.)

Flight Training for instrument procedures incorporating the use of HUD should include:

4.4.1 Instrument approaches and landing to include the following conditions:

4.4.1.1 CAT I ILS approach to 200 foot Decision Altitude, 2400 RVR visibility
and calm winds.
4.4.1.2 Demonstrate failures and incorrect settings on approach (i.e., missed
runway elevation, airspeed, selected course).
4.4.1.3 Illustrate unique characteristics of symbology in windshear conditions
(i.e., erratic wind speed and direction, flight path, flight path acceleration,
and speed error).
4.4.1.4 Non-ILS approach to 600 foot ceiling and 2 mile visibility and 15 knot
crosswind.
4.4.2 Setting of appropriate HUD brightness for different approach lighting systems.

4.4.3 Demonstration of failures and incorrect settings on approach; i.e., miss-set


runway elevation, airspeed, selected course, etc.

4.4.4 Missed approaches from IFR minimums in Instrument Meteorological Conditions


(IMC) flown using published Missed Approach.

4.5 Non-normal/Emergency operations


Flight Training for Non-normal and Emergency conditions using HUD should include:

4.5.1 Recognition and recovery from an aeroplane upset/unusual attitude.

Appendix 5 – Annex 1
HGS 4000 EFVS qualification program – Not for landing credit

1.0 General
The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) may be equipped with an HGS 4000 HUD with EFVS
capability. The HGS 4000 EFVS provides the capability for descent below published
minima using an Infrared (IR) sensor for the acquisition of the required visual
references to continue the approach to a landing. The HGS 4000 EFVS is not certified
for landing credit based on the EFVS image.

NOTES
1. Operators seeking credit to use the EFVS for descent below published minima to
acquire the required visual references to continue the approach to a landing require
an exemption to the applicable provisions of CAR 602.128, Landing Minima. In
addition, operators also require a Special Authorization/Specific Approval (SA) to
use the EFVS for credit for descent below published minima.
2. The Boeing Business Jet aircraft (BBJ1/BBJ, BBJ2, BBJ3 or BBJ MAX 8) have not
been type certified in Canada and are therefore not on the TCCA TCDS A-146, nor
assigned a TCCA Pilot Type Rating designator.

2.0 EFVS Ground and Flight Training – General


Successful completion of HUD training on the B73C is required as a prerequisite for
EFVS training. HUD and EFVS training can be conducted concurrently.

A TCCA approved Level C or higher B73C Full Flight Simulator (FFS) equipped with
day and night visual displays and able to display a representative IR image, is required
for EFVS flight training and checking.

The EFVS pilot training requirements consist of those related to initial and recurrent
ground and flight training. The EFVS training program should focus upon training
events flown in the left seat by the PIC (PF). EFVS training of PM duties in the right
seat is required. SIC EFVS familiarization flown in the left seat is recommended.

Operators authorized to descend below published minima using the EFVS must
conduct ground and flight training on low visibility and CAT II ILS procedures specific to
the B73C.

Appendix 6 – Alternate go-around flaps training

1.0 Requirements

Alternate go-around flaps operations require a separate Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
Appendix, a supplementary procedure defining flight crew actions, and a TCCA
operational approval. Alternate go-around flaps for B-737NG and B-737 MAX aircraft
certified to conduct Flaps 30 approaches using Flaps 5 during go-around requires flight
crew training. The FAA Flight Standardization Board (FSB) conducted an operational
suitability evaluation and found no handling quality differences between the B-737NG
and the B-737 MAX when conducting the alternate go-around flaps operations in
accordance with the AFM Appendix. A flight crew member who completed training on
either the B-737NG or the B-737 MAX does not need to repeat training in the other
series aircraft.
2.0 General

The use of Flaps 5° for go-around provides for a substantial increase in approach climb
weights in hot and/or high environments. The Flaps 30 approach speeds for Flaps 5
go-around operations require minor model specific speed additives to the standard
Flaps 30 VREF speeds in order to maintain the performance requirements of FAR
25.121(d) /AWM Chapter 525.121(d).
Alternate Go-Around Flaps operations require a separate AFM Appendix, and a
supplementary procedure defining flight crew actions.
Operators are encouraged to develop an approach review and briefing card for use by
flight crews when conducting any Alternate Go-Around Flaps operation.
3.0 Ground Training

Ground training for flight crews current in the B-737NG or the B-737 MAX aircraft is
established at Level B. Training may be administered via computer-based training
(CBT), stand-up lectures, or video and should include performance requirements, speed
additive use, and effect on maneuver margins, alternate go-around procedures, flight
crew callouts, and engine failure procedures. This item must be included in initial,
upgrade, transition, differences, and recurrent training.

Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

1. Purpose

The purpose of this appendix is to provide additional guidance and interpretations of the
training requirements within this TCCA Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation (OE) Report.

2. Application

The guidance within this appendix applies to all series of the B-737 or the specific series
of the B-737, as identified within this appendix.
The Return to Service (RTS) of the B-737-8 (MAX) requires that specific training
requirements of the TCCA B-737 OE Report, be complied with. This compliance
requirement was mandated by an Interim Order (IO) Respecting Certain Training
Requirements (B-737-8 and Other Aircraft), No. 3 dated February 26, 2021, or later
revision. Training mandated by the IO includes Appendix 7 of the OE Report, B-737
MAX Special training for flight crews, and specific Training Areas or Special Emphasis
(TASE), and Flight Simulator Training Device (FSTD) requirements as outlined in this
OE report.
Operators of B-737 series, other than the B-737 MAX, should provide training in the
TASE areas added to the OE report by January 1, 2024, including the subsequent
recurrent training. FSTDs should meet the requirements of the OE report to support this
training.

3. Background

Additional training requirements applicable to the B-737 MAX (B-737-8/-9) and specific
series of the B-737 were established by the Joint Operational Evaluation Board (JOEB)
activity, in support of the RTS of the B-737 MAX. These training requirements were
published in the TCCA B-737 Operational Evaluation (OE). These additional training
requirements apply to the B-737 MAX and other B-737s as identified in the OE report.
TCCA has identified the need to provide guidance in greater detail than that provided by
the OE report (main body) to ensure that pilots qualified on the B-737 MAX and other
series of the B-737 clearly understand the purpose of the training requirements provided
in the OE report.
The focus of this appendix is to provide specific guidance to Appendix 7 of the OE
Report which applies to the B-737 MAX, and guidance on new Training Areas of Special
Emphasis (TASE) and Flight Simulator Training Device (FSTD) requirements of the OE
report. This appendix also provides guidance applicable to the revised NNCs and the
TCCA accepted Boeing Company ground and flight training.

Page 108 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

The guidance provided in this appendix includes technical background and


recommendations applicable to the training requirements stated in the OE report. This
guidance is intended to assist Canadian Operators in developing their approved training
programs for the B-737 MAX Return to Service (RTS) and for B-737 specific series
training.

4. Overview

Annex A of this appendix provides specific guidance on Ground and Flight Training, for
the B-737 MAX RTS and guidance on the Training Areas of Special Emphasis (TASE)
applicable to specific series of the B-737. The guidance is focused on the Boeing
Company Ground and Flight Training for B-737 MAX RTS accepted by TCCA and
associated OE Report requirements. The B-737 MAX RTS Flight Training is based
upon the Boeing Company flight training profile accepted by TCCA.
Annex B of this appendix provides a matrix of Initial and Recurrent training requirements
applicable to specific B-737 series.

5. Format

The guidance within this appendix applies to content of the OE report as specified, and
guidance applicable to the required ground and flight training content. Extracts from the
OE report (Main body) are provided in italic font and the applicable guidance provided
immediately adjacent to it. All guidance material is preceded by the Header “Guidance”.

A2.2.1 Runaway Stabilizer NNC

Figure 1
Runaway Stabilizer NNC – Condition statement
Guidance – Runaway Stabilizer NNC

Condition statement
(Figure 1)
The condition statement has been expanded, so that the Runaway Stabilizer NNC
should be used whenever the horizontal stabilizer movement occurs in a manner not
appropriate for the flight conditions.
NOTE: The Runaway Stabilizer NNC is an unannunciated NNC. Pilots
must be trained to recognize stabilizer trim movement in a manner not
appropriate to the flight conditions.
Ground and Flight training should ensure that pilots are familiar with normal stabilizer
trim movement, stabilizer trim rates associated with flap setting, and when stabilizer
trim movement should (and should not) be anticipated.
In a suitably qualified B-737 MAX and B-737NG Level C or D Full Flight Simulator
(FFS), the runaway stabilizer (using the Dual Wire short malfunction (see section
A3.3 OE Report – FSTD requirements)) will be accompanied by the disengagement

Page 113 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

of the autopilot (A/P) (with the associated A/P disengagement alerts), MASTER
CAUTION and SPEED TRIM FAIL light illumination.
NOTE: The SPEED TRIM FAIL light may or may not illuminate on the B-
737NG. For more details, refer to section A3.5.2 – Flight Training
guidance – Runaway Stabilizer.
The Pilot Flying (PF) should be vigilant for any uncommanded stabilizer trim
movement following any A/P disengagement and illumination of the MASTER
CAUTION light.
The Pilot Monitoring (PM) is expected to respond to the MASTER CAUTION and
SPEED TRIM FAIL lights per training. Good crew coordination and CRM will be
required to positively identify a runaway stabilizer condition.

Figure 2
Runaway Stabilizer NNC – Memory items
Guidance – Runaway Stabilizer NNC (Cont’d)

Steps 1 to 7 Memory items


(Figure 2)

Page 114 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

The memory items have been revised to align with certification assumptions, and
steps have been added to include the disengagement of the Autothrottle (A/T), and
use of thrust levers and Main Electric Stabilizer Trim.

Step 1 - Control Column…..Hold Firmly


The first step is for the PF to take control of the aircraft using the Control Column
when a runaway stabilizer condition is identified.
Step 2 - Autopilot (if engaged)….Disengage
This step disengages the autopilot if still engaged. If the autopilot is the source of
uncommanded stabilizer movement, disengaging the autopilot may eliminate the
uncommanded stabilizer movement.
Step 3 - Autothrottle (if engaged) … Disengage
This step is required for the PF to establish manual control of thrust, and to prevent
the autothrottle from providing thrust commands that may cause undesirable airspeed
or pitch deviations.
Step 4 - Control column and thrust levers……Control airplane pitch attitude and
airspeed
This step has been expanded to add the use of thrust levers with control column to
control airplane pitch attitude and airspeed. The flight crew should also remain aware
of thrust lever position for situational awareness of the aircraft state.
Airspeed should be controlled to minimize deviations from the airspeed at which the
runaway stabilizer occurred. Increased airspeeds will result in increased
aerodynamic loads and out of trim control column forces.
Should runaway stabilizer movement be allowed to continue, the control column
actuated stabilizer trim cutout switches (control column cutout switches) will stop the
uncommanded stabilizer trim movement, but will not reverse it. Any release of the
control column, will allow the uncommanded stabilizer movement to resume.
NOTE: The control column cutout switches will stop any uncommanded
stabilizer movement, except an aeroplane nose-down stabilizer
movement commanded by MCAS. The incorporation of FCC P12.1.2
SW has eliminated the failure conditions that resulted in uncommanded
MCAS activation. Any such MCAS activated stabilizer movement
should be considered to be valid, and control column forces should be

Page 115 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

reduced to avoid increasing the Angle of Attack (AOA) further (since


MCAS activation logic is a function of elevated AOAs.)
Step 5 - Main Electric Stabilizer trim….Reduce control column forces
The Main Electric Stabilizer trim switches will stop and reverse the runaway stabilizer
condition. When released, the runaway will continue.
The PF is expected to actively use the Main Electric Stabilizer trim switches, to
reduce out of trim control column forces prior to activating STAB TRIM cutout
switches. Control column forces should be reduced as much as possible, using the
Main Electric Stabilizer trim switches prior to engaging the STAB TRIM cutout
switches. This will aid in reducing subsequent manual trimming forces.
If use of the control column cutout switches is necessary to stop runaway stabilizer
movement, the Main Electric Stabilizer trim switches should be used to reduce
stabilizer miss-trim to minimize the required control column input.
With proper use of the Main Electric Stabilizer trim switches to reduce stabilizer miss-
trim prior to the activation of manual trim, flight crews should seldom encounter high
forces that require a two pilot effort, or require maneuvers to momentarily reduce
aerodynamic loads on the stabilizer to aid in manual trimming.
Step 6 - If the runaway stops after the autopilot is disengaged…
A runaway stopping after the autopilot is disengaged indicates the runaway may have
originated from the autopilot. For this reason, the autopilot should not be reengaged.
The autothrottle should not be engaged if the autopilot is not engaged.
If the runaway stabilizer condition no longer exists, the checklist is complete.
Step 7 - If the runaway continues after the autopilot is disengaged….
The runaway continuing after the autopilot is disengaged indicates that the autopilot is
not the source of the runaway stabilizer.
Setting both STAB TRIM cutout switches to CUTOUT removes power to the
horizontal stabilizer trim motor, and permits manual trimming of the horizontal
stabilizer using the Stabilizer trim wheel.
The proper trimming of the horizontal stabilizer using the Main Electric Stabilizer Trim
to reduce control column forces prior to activating the STAB TRIM cutout switches is
important in minimizing subsequent manual trimming forces.
The step to Grasp and hold the Stabilizer trim wheel is required for older B-737 series
(Pre B-737NG) where this step was required to control a failed horizontal stabilizer

Page 116 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

trim brake for a continued runaway. This step has been retained in the NNC by
Boeing for commonality.

Figure 3
Runaway Stabilizer NNC
Guidance – Runaway Stabilizer NNC (Cont’d)

(Figure 3)
The proper execution of Step 5 is important in correcting an out of trim condition, and
therefore minimize manual trim forces.
Both pilots may need to use Stabilizer trim wheels if manual trim forces are too
difficult for one pilot to trim manually.
Manual trim forces reduce with a reduction in airspeed. Control column and thrust
levers can be used to reduce airspeed. Manual trim inputs will be required as
necessary to reduce control column forces as airspeed is reduced.
The PF should anticipate manual trim input requirements when changing airspeed,
thrust or configuration.

A2.2.2 Speed Trim Fail NNC

Figure 4
Speed Trim Fail NNC
Guidance – Speed Trim Fail NNC

(Figure 4)
This NNC has been revised to include the explanatory Note.
No adverse handling issues were identified during certification and operational
evaluations where the aircraft was flown within the Practical Operational Flight
Envelope (POFE). The POFE encompasses airspeeds and normal airspeeds
expected during normal operations and anticipated maneuvers consistent with flight
training.
Pilots should strive to maintain the aircraft in trim condition with the SPEED TRIM
FAIL light illuminated to ensure they continue to experience normal control column
force gradients.
During the flight training exercise of Runaway Stabilizer malfunction (Appendix 7 of
the OE report), pilots will experience manual flight (A/P not engaged) with the SPEED
TRIM FAIL light illuminated. There is no requirement to conduct additional flight
training manoeuvers with the SPEED TRIM FAIL light illuminated.

A2.2.3 Stabilizer Out of Trim NNC

Figure 5
Stabilizer Out of Trim NNC
Guidance – Stabilizer Out of Trim NNC

(Figure 5)
This NNC has been revised to describe the illumination of the STAB OUT OF TRIM
light.
This light will illuminate on the B-737 MAX on landing when below 30 knots ground
speed, following an FCC partial failure in flight. The ground and flight training is
intended to ensure that flight crews understand that maintenance action must be
taken prior to any subsequent flight, if this light illuminates on landing.
This condition is demonstrated during the B-737 MAX flight training during the
demonstration of the Cross Flight Control Computer (Cross-FCC) Trim Monitor
activation.

A2.2.4 Stabilizer Trim Inoperative NNC

Figure 6
Stabilizer Trim Inoperative NNC
Guidance – Stabilizer Trim Inoperative NNC

(Figure 6)
The Condition Statement has been revised to further describe this condition.
This malfunction represents a loss of function of the Main Electric Stabilizer trim
switches. This malfunction should not be confused with a Runaway Stabilizer
malfunction.
NOTE: The Runaway Stabilizer procedure should be executed for any
inappropriate movement of the horizontal stabilizer (Ref. A2.2.1)
Control column forces may develop because of airspeed, thrust or configuration
changes made from the original trim setting. Appropriate manual trimming techniques
will be required depending on the magnitude of the column forces. It may be
necessary to reduce airspeed to reduce manual trimming forces.

A2.2.5 Airspeed Unreliable NNC

Figure 7
Airspeed Unreliable NNC
Guidance – Airspeed Unreliable NNC

(Figure 7)
An erroneous AOA may trigger unreliable airspeed, Mach and altitude indications. An
intermittent or continuous stick shaker may be associated with an erroneous AOA.
The Additional Information section referenced in the Condition Statement lists
potential causes of unreliable airspeed. This section should be consulted after
completion of the NNC.
The pitch and thrust settings in Step 4 of this NNC are based upon the landing gear
being retracted. The landing gear should therefore be retracted (if extended) to
ensure that a sufficient climb performance capability associated with the pitch and
thrust settings identify in Step 4 can be achieved.

Guidance – Airspeed Unreliable NNC

(Figure 8)
An erroneously high AOA may trigger the continuous activation of the Stick Shaker.
The autopilot engagement logic will not permit the engagement of the autopilot after 5
minutes of continuous stick shaker activation. It may be possible to engage the
autopilot for a short period of time, but it will subsequently disengage without
command. The autopilot will not be available for the remainder of the flight.
Flight crews should be aware of this engagement logic and avoid continuous repeated
attempts to re-engage the autopilot, if unable to engage it after this step of the NNC.

(Figure 9)
Steps 20 to 23 have been added to the NNC to provide a procedure to disable a
nuisance stick shaker at the pilot’s discretion. The disabling of a continuous stick
shaker will remove a significant distraction from the flight deck and aid in the effective
recognition of a valid stall warning on the unaffected side.
An erroneously high AOA will activate the Elevator Feel Shift (EFS) module. Control
column forces may be increased by the EFS activation.
(Figure 10)
The Stick Shaker Circuit Breakers (CBs) are identified by CB collars. The Stick
Shaker CBs should be carefully identified and verified prior to pulling.

NOTE: Pilots may be trained in accordance with the flight profile


depicted in Figure 16 (above) developed by the Boeing Company or
take TCCA approved equivalent training.

TCCA recommends that the following principals be followed to ensure the maximum
effectiveness of this flight training:
 The focus of this flight training is for pilots to gain a thorough understanding of
the design changes, through a demonstration of system functions, and
associated flight deck effects and indications;
 A focus on training to proficiency should prevail over a focus on grading;
 Pilots should be given the maximum opportunity to interact with the aircraft
controls to get a hands on practical understanding;
 Any mistakes made during training, when effectively identified and corrected,
should be considered to be valuable learning opportunities;
 An emphasis on the strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) during this training may be relaxed to support the achievement of the
training objectives of further increased understanding of the systems; and
 Discussion and questions should be promoted at appropriate opportunities.

A3.4.2 Flight Training Guidance - MCAS Activation

Guidance

Scenario Purpose:
The purpose of this scenario is to demonstrate the behaviour of the MCAS function
(of the STS) during a stall.
This scenario may also be used to provide additional demonstrations of the normal
operation of the Speed Trim Function (of the STS) during a manually flown climb and
during a stall with flaps extended.
Scenario Guidance:
STS Demonstration during Manually Flown Climb
The aircraft is flown manually to 10,000 feet, immediately after take-off. During the
climb the crew may observe normal operation of the Speed Trim function while in
manual flight.
This demonstration may be accomplished by stabilizing the aircraft in a climb in the
take-off configuration and trimming out any control column forces. Speed should be
changed by a small amount using control column only (no sooner than 5 seconds
after the last stabilizer trim input or 10 seconds after take-off, to allow the Speed Trim
function to work per STS logic.) Stabilizer trim wheel motion, in a manner to increase
control column forces, and proportional to the speed deviation, should be observed.
The control column forces can then be relaxed to return to the original trim speed and
allow the Speed Trim function to reverse the stabilizer trim input. The PF should
avoid making any stabilizer trim inputs during this demonstration.
A key teaching point of this demonstration is to show the Speed Trim function is
intended to discourage speed deviations through increased control column forces,
during the conditions that this function is active.
When the aircraft has been stabilized back to the original trim speed, control may be
transferred to allow the other pilot to complete this demonstration. Flaps may be
retracted after this training event, to clean up the aircraft for the remaining climb.
MCAS Demonstration during stall
The demonstration of the MCAS function is accomplished by conducting a power off
stall in the clean configuration, and recovering at the activation of the Elevator Feel
Shift (EFS). Pilots will be instructed to not trim below the Flaps UP maneuver speed,
and should avoid making any further stabilizer trim inputs during this demonstration.

Page 143 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

This demonstration must be conducted at the elevated angles of attack, associated


with a stall and in the clean configuration, in order to activate the MCAS function. The
pilots during the demonstration, should observe all indications associated with
increasing AOA and an impending stall, including stabilizer trim wheel motion rates
and characteristics associated with the MCAS function.
During the deceleration to the stall, the pilots will be instructed to intentionally
disregard the indications of an impending stall, including the Low Airspeed alert,
appearance of the Pitch Limit Indicator (PLI), Stick Shaker, increasing airframe
buffeting until EFS activation. Pilots will initially observe the operation of the Speed
Trim function, through the nose-down motion of the stabilizer trim wheel.
NOTE: The pilot’s should observe that the STS commands the stabilizer
trim motor to operate at a low trim rate with flaps retracted, compared to
a high trim rate with the flaps extended.
As AOA continues to increase the STS will transition from the Speed Trim function to
the MCAS function. Following activation, of the EFS, pilots will recover from the stall
and observe the STS (MCAS and Speed Trim functions) remove (“unwind”) the nose-
down horizontal stabilizer inputs until the original trim reference speed is reached.
Speed Trim System (STS) functions
While this flight training focuses on a demonstration of the MCAS function, pilots
should clearly understand that the MCAS function is one of the two functions of the
Speed Trim System (STS), with the other function being the Speed Trim function.
The MCAS and Speed Trim functions have different activation logic, but have a
similar purpose of commanding stabilizer trim movement to discourage a speed
deviation (and associated Angle Of Attack (AOA) deviation as the case may be)
through increasing control column forces, while in manual flight (autopilot
disengaged).
The STS provides nose down stabilizer trim inputs as the aircraft decelerates from a
reference speed or AOA, and nose up inputs as the aircraft accelerates, to deter the
pilot from further speed deviations through control column forces. Although the rate
and characteristics of stabilizer motion in response to STS commands may vary with
flap setting and acceleration/deceleration, pilots should understand that the MCAS
and Speed Trim functions are fundamentally a Speed Trim System.
NOTE: The control column cutout switches will stop any uncommanded
stabilizer movement, except an aeroplane nose-down stabilizer
movement commanded by the MCAS function. The incorporation of
FCC P12.1.2 SW has eliminated the failure conditions that resulted in
uncommanded MCAS activation. The new software introduced a new

Page 144 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

layer of redundancy called the “Software Column Cutout Function” to


mitigate a latent column cutout switch failure. Any such MCAS activated
stabilizer movement should be considered to be valid, and control
column forces should be reduced to avoid increasing the Angle of Attack
(AOA) further (since MCAS activation logic is a function of elevated
AOAs.)
Pilots should gain a fundamental understanding that their first action in response to
any STS stabilizer motion (whether through the Speed Trim or MCAS function) is to
relax control column input to return to the original trim speed, or re-trim as necessary.
When the control column forces are relaxed pilots should observe the STS reversing
the stabilizer trim inputs from the original speed deviation.
Recommended demonstration - Speed Trim Function
The ground training for the STS describes both the Speed Trim and the MCAS
functions of the STS. Although outside the scope of the training requirements of the
OE report, TCCA recommends that an additional demonstration of the Speed Trim
function in a full stall be provided to enhance pilots understanding of the STS.
TCCA therefore recommends repeating a manually entered full stall with flap
extended (e.g. Flap 5) and thrust greater than 60% N1 to activate the Speed Trim
function. The objective of this demonstration is for pilots to recognize how and when
the STS is functioning and for pilots to understand the basic similarity between the
MCAS and Speed Trim functions, while seeing differences with regard to stabilizer
trim rates associated with flap position and characteristics of stabilizer trim wheel
movement.
NOTES:
1. As explained earlier, the STS controls the stabilizer trim motor at
a high trim rate with flaps extended and low trim rate with flaps
retracted.
2. Although the MCAS function controls the stabilizer trim motor at
the flaps extended Speed Trim function rate (high rate), the
MCAS function will not activate with flaps extended.
This demonstration is also intended to show the pilots, that aft Control Column input
(through the control column cutout switches) will stop stabilizer motion associated
with the Speed Trim function (unlike the MCAS function as described earlier).
Full stall training
Pilots may not be familiar with the indications of an impending stall, beyond stick
shaker activation, unless they have had full stall or Upset Prevention and Recovery

Page 145 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

Training (UPRT). Pilots will need to be familiar with the indications of a stall beyond
those of the stick shaker, including the activation of the EFS, to effectively observe
the operation of the MCAS function. Demonstrations of AOAs beyond the activation
of the stick shaker requires that the FFS is suitably qualified for this training, and must
meet UPRT training requirements. Pilots must also understand the appropriate stall
recovery inputs, when recovering from a stall beyond stick shaker activation.
Aggressive thrust application should be avoided, since on the B-737 MAX, this may
result in an undesirable pitch up tendency and aggravate the stall recovery or lead to
an aeroplane upset condition. Smooth and deliberate pitch and thrust inputs will be
necessary to avoid a secondary stick shaker activation, stall or upset.
Training applicability and FFS
Training for MCAS activation is applicable to all B-737 MAX pilots and must be
conducted in a B-737 MAX FFS meeting the simulator qualification requirements
stated in Section A3.3 above.
Recurrent Training
Training for MCAS activation is a “one-time” special training event to qualify pilots to
fly the B-737 MAX. There are no recurrent training requirements in the TCCA OE
report.
B-737 operators however are encouraged to incorporate recurrent training at least
every 36 months, to demonstrate MCAS and Speed Trim functions and B-737 stall
identification features, because of the important value of this training.

A3.5.2 Flight Training guidance – Runaway Stabilizer

Guidance

Scenario purpose
The purpose of Runaway Stabilizer training is to train the crew to recognize and
mitigate this malfunction using the Runaway Stabilizer NNC (to maintain control of the
aircraft and establish manual trim controls.)
NOTE
The B-737-100/-200 series do not have a Speed Trim System (STS).

Scenario Guidance:
The Runaway Stabilizer malfunction training is conducted with the crew following Pilot
Flying (PF) and Pilot Monitoring roles in completing the Runaway Stabilizer NNC.
Each pilot must complete this training as PF and PM.
NOTE: The Runaway Stabilizer NNC is an unannunciated NNC. Pilots
must be trained to recognize stabilizer trim movement in a manner not
appropriate for flight conditions.
Ground and Flight training should ensure that pilots are familiar with normal stabilizer
trim movement and when stabilizer trim movement should (and should not) be
anticipated. An example of inappropriate stabilizer movement could be a continuous
uncommanded stabilizer movement without airspeed, altitude or configuration
changes, or Speed Trim System (STS) commanded stabilizer movement within 5
seconds of a Main Electric Stabilizer trim input.
Runaway Stabilizer flight training is provided using the ATA 27 Dual Wire Short
malfunction to trigger the Runaway Stabilizer condition.
In the B-737 MAX Full Flight Simulator (FFS), the runaway stabilizer indications
associated with the Dual Wire short malfunction, will be the autopilot (A/P)
disengagement (if engaged) with the corresponding A/P disengage tone and by the
illumination of multiple annunciator lights (A/P Disengage (flashes), MASTER
CAUTION and SPEED TRIM FAIL). The STAB OUT OF TRIM light illuminates on
landing when below 30 knots ground speed.
The B737NG FFS exhibits similar flight deck effects with the exception of the STAB
OUT OF TRIM light. On the B-737NG, the SPEED TRIM FAIL, FLT CONT system
annunciator and MASTER CAUTION lights can illuminate if there is a STS trim

Page 151 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

command in the direction opposite of the runaway. The PF should experience


increasing control column forces if attempting to maintain a desired flight path, and
should check for uncommanded movement of the stabilizer trim wheel.
CAUTION: It is important in training to emphasize that pilots should
always be vigilant for stabilizer trim movement that occurs in a manner
not appropriate for flight conditions. This is to avoid “pre-programming”
pilots to conclude they have a runaway stabilizer, if the A/P disengages
or MASTER CAUTION light illuminates for other reasons.
With the Dual Wire Short malfunction (in a suitably qualified flight simulator), Main
Electric Stabilizer trim switches will stop and reverse uncommanded stabilizer trim
movement until released. If stabilizer movement is allowed to continue, control
column cutout switches will activate to prevent further uncommanded stabilizer trim
movement, but will not reverse it. The uncommanded stabilizer trim movement will
resume with release of the control column.
Each pilot should be given “hands-on” experience on how the Main Electric Stabilizer
trim switches stop and reverse a runaway stabilizer (while the switches are held), and
how the control column cutout will momentarily stop runaway stabilizer movement.
While accomplishing the Runaway Stabilizer NNC memory items, The PF should not
hesitate to use the Main Electric Stabilizer trim switches, to reduce control column
forces. The PF should strive to minimize aircraft airspeed deviations from the
airspeed at which the runaway stabilizer occurred, to avoid having large residual
stabilizer manual trim forces after activating the STAB Trim cutout switches.
With a thorough understanding of the functions of the Main Electric Stabilizer trim and
Control Column cutout switches functions, pilots should gain sufficient confidence in
these control functions that they don’t need to rush to select the STAB Trim cutout
switches to the CUTOUT position, especially before they remove excessive out of trim
control column forces.
FFS malfunctions - Runaway Stabilizer Flight Training
As discussed in Section A3.3, TCCA has established the ATA 27 malfunction
“Stabilizer Runaway” (a.k.a. the Dual Wire Short) as appropriate for Runaway
Stabilizer training. TCCA has prohibited the use of the malfunction for training
Stabilizer Runaway – Trim Switch (a.k.a. the Electric Trim Switch malfunction.)
The Dual Wire short malfunction was established as being the appropriate
malfunction for training, after an aircraft certification review of potential malfunctions
that could result in a Runaway Stabilizer condition. This malfunction permits full
function of all stabilizer controls required in the NNC, and is suitable for any training

Page 152 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

events of stabilizer movement not appropriate for the flight conditions, per the
Runaway Stabilizer NNC Condition Statement. Pilots, other than those flying the B-
737 MAX, must complete this training no later than January 1, 2024.
The Electric Trim Switch malfunction is a “legacy” B-737 Runaway Stabilizer
malfunction that simulates a short circuit of one of the Main Electric Stabilizer Trim
switches. An aircraft certification review established this malfunction was of an
extremely low probability of occurring on the B-737 fleet. This malfunction does not
permit the Main Electric Stabilizer Trim switches to reverse runaway stabilizer trim
inputs. This legacy malfunction has led to inappropriate pilot responses, to hastily
activate the STAB TRIM cutout switches during Runaway Stabilizer training, and
experience higher than desired manual trim forces as a result.
TCCA has therefore prohibited Runaway Stabilizer training using the “legacy” Electric
Trim Switch malfunction for all series of B-737 because of its extremely low probability
of this malfunction and the concern that it could result in a negative transfer of
training.
Runaway Stabilizer NNC Memory Items
NOTE: Refer to sub-section A2.2.1 for detailed guidance on the
Runaway Stabilizer NNC and associated memory items (7 steps).
Steps 1 to 3 of the Runaway Stabilizer NNC memory items require the PF to take
manual control of the aircraft by Holding the Control Column firmly and disengaging
the Autopilot and Autothrottle (if engaged).
Step 4 requires the use of control column and thrust levers to control airplane pitch
attitude and airspeed. The flight crew should also remain aware of thrust lever
position for situational awareness of the aircraft state. The PF should continue to
strive to minimize aircraft airspeed deviations from the airspeed at which the runaway
stabilizer occurred, to minimize control column forces. The PF should not hesitate to
use the Main Electric Stabilizer Trim switches, to reduce control column forces, while
accomplishing this step.
Step 5 provides guidance to reduce control column forces through Main Electric
Stabilizer Trim switches as a key step prior to activating the STAB TRIM cutout
switches in Step 7. The PF should strive to remove control column forces as much as
possible prior to activating the STAB TRIM cutout switches. Failure to do so, may
result in excessive manual trim forces.
NOTE: The failure by the PF to reduce control column forces sufficiently
through the Main Electric Stabilizer Trim switches may result in the PF
needing to apply control column displacement sufficient to activate the

Page 153 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

Control Column switches. The PF should not assume that a runaway


stabilizer condition has been stopped. (The runaway stabilizer
movement will resume if the control column is released.)
Step 6 requires the crew to determine if the runaway stops after the autopilot
disengages. This step is required to ensure that the autopilot is not the source of the
Runaway Stabilizer.
Step 7 directs the flight crew to select both STAB TRIM cutout switches to CUTOUT
after the runaway stabilizer condition is verified and all preceding memory items have
been completed correctly. This step is also required to permit the manual trimming of
the Stabilizer (Step 8).
The last element of Step 7 to grasp and hold the Stabilizer trim wheel applies to a
stabilizer brake failure in earlier series of the B-737, for which this NNC applies.
By actioning the Runaway Stabilizer NNC, the completion of the memory items will be
assured. The crew may then complete the Speed Trim Fail NNC, since the SPEED
TRIM FAIL light will have illuminated during this malfunction. (The STS (Speed Trim
and MCAS functions) will be inoperative with the STAB TRIM cutout switches in
CUTOUT position.)
NOTE: Crews should not action the Stabilizer Trim Inoperative NNC in
response to a Runaway Stabilizer. This NNC is actioned through a loss
of electric trim through the Main Electric Stabilizer trim switches, or as
directed by the Stab Out Of Trim NNC, which is not the case here.
Actioning the Stabilizer Trim Inoperative NNC will also result in the
requirement to plan for a flaps 15 landing.
Training applicability and FFS
Training for Runaway Stabilizer and manual stabilizer trim applies to all B-737s. B-
737 MAX pilots may take this training in a suitably qualified B-737NG Level C or D
FFS. The B-737NG Level C or D FFS must meet the qualification requirements
stated in Section A3.3 above, with the appropriate binary simulation load, and
evaluation of the stabilizer trim system for proper control forces and travel system
operation.
TCCA requires the use of the ATA 27 Stabilizer Runaway (Dual Wire Short
Malfunction) for this scenario. TCCA does not permit use of the ATA 27 Stabilizer
Runaway – Trim Switch (Electric Trim Switch Malfunction) for the reasons stated
above.

Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

As explained earlier, there are differences in the cockpit indications of this malfunction
between the B-737 MAX and B-737NG. The Speed Trim Fail light may or may not
illuminate on the B-737NG FFS during the Runaway Stabilizer Malfunction.
The STAB OUT OF TRIM light illumination logic is different between the B-737 MAX
and B-737NG. This light will only illuminate on the B-737 MAX on landing when
below 30 knots ground speed. The STAB OUT OF TRIM light may illuminate on the
B-737NG if the failure is initiated with the autopilot engaged.
Similar to B-737 MAX Runaway Stabilizer training, for B-737s (other than B-737
MAX), each pilot should be given “hands-on” experience on the Main Electric
Stabilizer trim switches and the control column cutout switch functions.
Recurrent Training
Flight training for Runaway Stabilizer and manual stabilizer trim operation must be
accomplished at least once every 36 months during recurrent training. Recurrent
training should include all of the elements of the special training described above.
Recurrent training may include variations on the flight conditions for the Runaway
Stabilizer as described in the following Recommendations.
Recommendations
The Runaway Stabilizer malfunction should be inserted both in the flaps up and flaps
extended configurations to show pilots the different stabilizer trim rates as a function
of flap configurations. The malfunctions should also be inserted at both the high and
low speed ranges of the aircraft, for pilots to maintain aircraft control at these speed
ranges (e.g. nose-down runaway stabilizer at high speed (near VMO/MMO), and
nose-up runaway stabilizer with flaps extended at appropriate minimum flap
manoeuvering speed.) Training may also be conducted during accelerated flight,
such as a nose-down Runaway Stabilizer during acceleration from 250 KTS, in a
climb above 10,000 feet.

A3.5.4 Flight Training guidance - Manual Stabilizer Trim requirements

Guidance

Scenario Purpose
The purpose of this scenario is as follows:
 Demonstration of various manual trimming techniques
 Manually flown descent, approach, go-around and level-off using manual
stabilizer trim
Scenario Guidance
Training on manual trimming techniques immediately follows the Runaway
Stabilizer training for each pilot. This training includes manual trimming techniques
from various stabilizer out of trim conditions and includes, single and two pilot
efforts to manually trim the aircraft. The training also includes manual
demonstrations of trimming at both high and low airspeeds, to demonstrate the
effects of airspeed on aerodynamic loads on the stabilizer and the associated force
required to move the stabilizer trim wheel.
Training should also demonstrate that the initial manual trimming forces (break-out
forces) to start movement of the manual trim wheel may be significantly higher
compared to the subsequent sustained manual trimming forces required. The
training should also provide an opportunity for pilots to experience how the manual
trim forces change as the aircraft approaches a trimmed condition.
The Runaway Stabilizer training should emphasize that using the Main Electric
Trim Switches to minimize Control Column forces prior to activating the STAB
TRIM cutout switches, should minimize the resulting force required to move the
stabilizer trim wheel.
Increased manual trim forces can result because of increased aerodynamic loads
associated with high airspeeds, or pulling or pushing on the control column. A two
pilot effort may be used to correct an out of trim condition. In extreme cases it may
be necessary to relieve the aerodynamic loads to allow manual trimming.
Aerodynamic loads can be relieved by reducing airspeed.
If manual stabilizer trim is needed, it is important to emphasize that the STAB TRIM
cutout switches should be placed in the CUTOUT position prior to extending the
stabilizer trim wheel handles. Personal injury can occur if the stabilizer trim wheel
moves due to electric trim inputs while the stabilizer trim wheel handles are
extended.

Page 158 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

The emphasis during the subsequent descent, approach and go-around using
manual trim should focus on the need to anticipate trim changes for airspeed and
configuration changes. This is particularly important during the go-around and
subsequent level off maneuver, where large changes in thrust may result in large
control column forces. Pilots should avoid a tendency to over-trim and should
carefully monitor pitch attitude until the aircraft is fully trimmed and stabilized.

A3.6.2 Flight Training guidance – Cross-FCC Trim Monitor activation

Guidance

Scenario purpose
The purpose of this scenario is to demonstrate the Cross-FCC Trim Monitor activation
in response to a Runaway Stabilizer originating from the FCC and the illumination of
the STAB OUT OF TRIM light on landing.
Scenario guidance
This malfunction scenario is a demonstration of the Cross-FCC trim monitor detecting
and stopping an erroneous stabilizer trim command. The stabilizer runaway will be
stopped 1.3 seconds after activation of the malfunction.
If the Cross-FCC Trim Monitor activates in either the operational or the standby FCC
channel, the FCC sends a signal to the other FCC to inhibit its stabilizer trim
commands, this includes autopilot, Control Wheel Steering (CWS), and Speed Trim
System (STS) commands.
If the A/P (CMD A or B) or CWS (CWS A or B) was engaged to the affected FCC
channel (A or B), it will automatically disengage and cause the associated aural and
visual alerts. The SPEED TRIM FAIL light can illuminate automatically, during
MASTER CAUTION recall, or not at all. The STS will no longer be available with the
illumination of the SPEED TRIM FAIL light.
For Fail Operational aerolanes, the NO AUTOLAND status is annunciated.
The STAB OUT OF TRIM light will illuminate after landing when groundspeed is less
than 30 knots. Crews should be vigilant and alert for the illumination of the STAB
OUT OF TRIM light after landing because it may be easily missed during this high
workload phase of flight.
The flight crew should take to the appropriate action in response to the STAB OUT
OF TRIM light illumination on the ground. The crew should report the illumination of
this light for appropriate maintenance action. The crew may action the STAB OUT
OF TRIM NNC, if in accordance with their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Any subsequent flight should not be attempted, until the malfunction is rectified.

This training scenario specifically applies to the B-737 MAX and must be conducted in
a B-737 MAX Level C or D FFS meeting the simulator qualification requirements
stated in Section A3.3 (above).
Recurrent Training
Training of this scenario is not required for recurrent flight training. Flight crews
should be reminded on actions to take in response to the illumination of the STAB

A3.7.2 Flight Training guidance – Unreliable Airspeed and Multiple Flight Deck
Alerts during Non-Normal Conditions

Guidance

Scenario Purpose
The purpose of this scenario is:
 The recognition of an unreliable airspeed condition due to erroneous high
Angle of Attack (AOA) malfunction and successfully complete the Airspeed
Unreliable memory items and NNC;
 Demonstration of FD behaviour during a Go-around/Missed Approach;
 Training of Multiple Flight Deck Alerts during Non-Normal Conditions.
Scenario Guidance
This scenario is triggered by an erroneously high AOA vane on take-off, which will
result in multiple cockpit indications, including the activation of an intermittent or
continuous stick shaker.
Flight crews will be expected to discern whether they have actual or nuisance stall
warning indications based upon the cockpit indications they observe. Flight crews will
need to take appropriate stall recovery actions if valid stall warning indications are
observed (e.g. both stall shakers are active, airframe buffeting etc.)
When the indications of unreliable airspeed are identified and verified, the crew will be
expected to action the Airspeed Unreliable memory items and complete the Airspeed
Unreliable NNC. The continuous stick shaker may be a significant distraction and
may make communication difficult. The Pilot In Command (PIC) is encouraged to
declare an emergency at the appropriate time to gain priority and minimize further
distractions.
The NNC will have to be carefully and methodical read despite the possible
distraction from the stick shaker. It will be acceptable to verbally abbreviate some of
the NNC text provided the abbreviation is clear and accurate.
It will be possible to engage the autopilot in Step 14 of the NNC.
NOTE: The autopilot however will disengage after five minutes of
continuous stick shaker and will no longer be available for the remainder
of the flight. This autopilot behaviour is identified in the Note in Step 14.
The crew should plan to continue the remainder of the flight without
autopilot.

Page 168 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

The flight crew may need to remain in a sustained climb until the NNC is completed,
and an appropriate altitude clearance should be obtained from ATC. In this specific
scenario (of a high AOA malfunction), the flight crew should not change the aircraft
thrust, pitch attitude and flap configuration, until a reliable airspeed indication can be
determined and the Flight Director is available and selected ON.
Steps 20 to 23 (at the end) of the Airspeed Unreliable NNC provide for the flight crew
to deactivate the nuisance stick shaker at the PIC’s discretion. The stick shaker
Circuit Breakers (CBs) will have collars to aid in their correct identification. The crew
should carefully identify and verify the correct CB before pulling, especially with the
ambient noise and distraction caused by the continuous stick shaker. In addition to
removal of the distraction of the stick shaker, the control column forces associated
with the EFS will be removed and a reliable stall warning for the opposite side stick
shaker will be made available.
Completion of Airspeed Unreliable NNC
The disabling of the nuisance stick shaker will provide for significantly less distraction
and a quieter environment to assess the situation and plan contingencies, such as
whether to return to land, or proceed to an alternate or destination.
The additional information section of the Airspeed Unreliable NNC should be carefully
reviewed to ascertain the status of the aircraft. NNCs for IAS DISAGREE, ALT
DISAGREE and AOA DISAGREE alerts will likely direct the crew back to the
Unreliable Airspeed NNC, that should be reviewed for any specific actions.
It is advisable to review Deferred Items well before descent for planning. The N1
value and Pitch Attitude for Go-around should be computed in advance. FD behaviour
(biasing out of view when TO/GA is pushed during go-around or missed approach)
should be anticipated.
All operational requirements, remaining aircraft capabilities, weather conditions and
fuel requirements should be considered. The flight crew should carefully assess the
FMC fuel predictions in light of potential erroneous air data inputs to the Flight
Management System (FMS).
Training applicability and FFS
Initial training of this scenario applies to pilots flying the B-737 MAX. Either pilot may
serve as pilot flying (PF) for this training scenario. Initial training must be conducted
in a B-737 MAX Level C or D FFS meeting the simulator qualification requirements
stated in Section A3.3 above. For all other B-737 this training must be accomplished
in a suitably qualified B-737 FFS, no later than January 1, 2024.

Page 169 of 174


Boeing 737 Operational Evaluation Report, Revision 2 RDIMS #17171568

Recurrent Training
This scenario must be accomplished at least once every 36 months during recurrent
training. Either pilot may serve as pilot flying (PF) for this training task. For all series
of B-737 this recurrent training must be accomplished in a suitably qualified B-737
FFS.
Other AOA malfunctions should be considered for recurrent training such as
erroneously high or low AOA during take-off, level flight or descent. Pitot and/or static
blockages should also be trained on a recurrent basis.
Multiple Flight Deck Alerts during Non-Normal Conditions
The erroneously high AOA in this scenario is an example of a single malfunction
resulting in multiple flight deck alerts that will require timely flight crew actions. The
flight crew will be required to recognize and interpret the non-normal conditions and
prioritize required flight crew actions under demanding conditions. The onset of a
stick shaker activation during take-off may be startling.
Although this scenario should be trained in real time, it is recommended that during
training, the flight crew be discouraged from rushing through the NNC, and take all
the time necessary to consider options after the NNC is completed. This type of
training may be amenable to Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) scenarios,
considering the numerous associated operational considerations.
