Hi,
Enjoy it. I suspect learning a few pitch and power settings might be a touch useful, can't help there, I don't fly the 737. That said most jets I believe work around 15 degrees nose up after take off, 7.5 degrees for acceleration and flap retraction, then climb clean (no flap/slat) 10 degrees below 10,000ft, 5 degrees above 10,000 feet, 2.5 degrees nose up cruise, gives a rough idea. A cheeky trick - the VSI becomes quite a useful tool when it is an instantaneous one. i.e. what is says is what you're doing - little to no lag.


Flight sim is probably good for this; I passed a sim ride on the 737-800 sim after training on flight sim with an add-on and the CH yoke.
I suspect putting in some study time before hand will make you understand and enjoy the experience a lot more.

Landing, I flare the A320 at 20 feet, I guess 20-30 feet flare would work on the 737.
