Lightbulb Questions you had never asked before about B737

Hi everybody,

I'd like to open this discussion to share our thoughts and knolewdge about those questions we never dare to ask about Boeing 737, the most built aircraft ever (as far as I know).

To start with, I have an electrical question regarding its electrical system:

Scenario: you've just had a single generator failure and had the cockpit scattered with lights in the overhead panel: BUS OFF, its associated fuel pump Low Pressure light, some Window Heat lights, etc.

Question: Which checklists are you using and in which sequence?

I would read and do the BUS OFF NNC, provided its associated transfer bus has switched to the opposite generator bus; in this case the first checklist would be TRANSFER BUS OFF NNC. And in case we have ended up with no success in connecting the APU to this generator bus...

What then? Would you continue reading any checklist for any of the inoperative system till you've got all of them covered? And in what order? Is it relevant?

What do you think?
