Introduction
Section 2
General
This Operations Manual has been prepared by the Boeing Commercial Airplane
Group, Commercial Aviation Services organization. The purpose of this manual
is to:
• provide the necessary operating limitations, procedures, performance, and
systems information the flight crew needs to safely and efficiently operate
the 737 airplane during all anticipated airline operations
• serve as a comprehensive reference for use during transition training for
the 737 airplane
• serve as a review guide for use in recurrent training and proficiency
checks
• provide necessary operational data from the FAA approved airplane flight
manual (AFM) to ensure that legal requirements are satisfied
• establish standardized procedures and practices to enhance Boeing
operational philosophy and policy.
This manual is prepared for the owner/operator named on the title page
specifically for the airplanes listed in the "Model Identification" section. It
contains operational procedures and information, which apply only to these
airplanes. The manual covers the Boeing delivered configuration of these
airplanes. Changes to the delivered configuration are incorporated when covered
by contractual revision agreements between the owner/operator and The Boeing
Company
This manual is not suitable for use for any airplanes not listed in the "Model
Identification" section. Further, it may not be suitable for airplanes that have been
transferred to other owners/operators.
Owners/operators are solely responsible for ensuring the operational
documentation they are using is complete and matches the current configuration
of the listed airplanes. This includes the accuracy and validity of all information
furnished by the owner/operator or any other party. Owners/operators receiving
active revision service are responsible to ensure that any modifications to the
listed airplanes are properly reflected in the operational procedures and
information contained in this manual.
This manual is structured in a two-volume format with a quick reference
handbook
(QRH). Volume
1 includes operational limitations, normal and
supplementary procedures, and dispatch performance data. Volume 2 contains
systems information. The QRH contains all checklists necessary for normal and
non-normal procedures as well as in-flight performance data.

Introduction
Boeing 737 Operations Manual
The manual is periodically revised to incorporate pertinent procedural and
systems information. Items of a more critical nature will be incorporated in
operational bulletins and distributed in a timely manner. In all cases, such
revisions and changes must remain compatible with the approved AFM with
which the operator must comply. In the event of conflict with the AFM, the AFM
shall supersede.
This manual is written under the assumption that the user has had previous
multi-engine jet aircraft experience and is familiar with basic jet airplane systems
and basic pilot techniques common to airplanes of this type. Therefore, the
operations manual does not contain basic flight information that is considered
prerequisite training.
Any questions about the content or use of this manual can be directed to:
Commercial Aviation Services
Boeing Commercial Airplane Group
P. O. Box 3707, M/S 20-89
Seattle, Washington 98124-2207 USA
Attention: Senior Manager, Flight Technical Publications
Organization
The operations manual is organized in the following manner.
Volume 1
• Preface - contains general information regarding the manual’s purpose,
structure, and content. It also contains lists of abbreviations, a record of
revisions, bulletins, and a list of effective pages.
• Limitations and Normal Procedures chapters cover operational limitations
and normal procedures. All operating procedures are based on a thorough
analysis of crew activity required to operate the airplane, and reflect the
latest knowledge and experience available.
• Supplementary Procedures chapter covers those procedures accomplished
as required rather than routinely on each flight.
• Performance Dispatch chapter contains performance information
necessary for self dispatch.
Volume 2 - Chapters 1 through 15 contain general airplane and systems
information. These chapters are generally subdivided into sections covering
controls and indicators and systems descriptions.
Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) - The QRH covers normal checklists,
in-flight performance, non-normal checklists, and non-normal maneuvers.

General
The Boeing Company issues operations manual revisions to provide new or
revised procedures and information. Formal revisions also incorporate appropriate
information from previously issued operations manual bulletins.
The revision date is the approximate date the manual is approved for printing. The
revision is mailed a few weeks after this date.
Formal revisions include a Transmittal Letter, a new Revision Record, Revision
Highlights, and a current List of Effective Pages. Use the information on the new
Revision Record and List of Effective Pages to verify the operations manual
content.
Pages containing revised technical material have revision bars associated with the
changed text or illustration. Editorial revisions (for example, spelling corrections)
may have revision bars with no associated highlight.
The Revision Record should be completed by the person incorporating the
revision into the manual.
