procedure

Hello all,

Actually tested in a 737-300 sim.

Wind 2 o'lock at 20 knots.
Min turn altitude: 1500 feet (2000 is much better)
flaps 1
apu operating

As soon as you notice turn into the wind bank 45 pitch +5 to the runway you just took off from.

With the loss of gen 1 and 2 only bat power is available.
Take apu on bus one to activate B hyd to extend the flaps to 5 (or 10 in case flaps 5 t/o).
As soon as this is done (you're already very low) disconnect bus one and connect to bus two to active A hyd and lower the gear.

In my opninion you have no chance taking off without APU since it takes to long to start it.

It's still a difficult manoever. The most difficult is that since you're coming at the runway from a 30 degree angle in heading you need to start the turn early or you'll overshoot.
But the most important is to level te wings otherwise you don't have the slightest chance to survive. Rather land within the airport perimeter but not on the runway, than crash into it.

Hope I could be helpfull,
regards. Tijmen
