Traffic pattern B737
Dear friends,
I would really appreciate it if someone can give me specific details about how to perform traffic pattern with the B737 with timing and speed and landing configurations.
Thanks

1500ft abeam threshold. Flap 5, 170/180 kts. Start stopwatch.
45 seconds, gear down flap 15, 150/160kts.
Turn in, start shallow descent.
When visual with runway and on correct profile, landing flap, Vapp.

First I hear of a stopwatch being used for pattern flying.
Circuit width 1.5 nm. Abeam the landing threshold gear lever down, Flap 15, speed 150 knots and landing checklist down to flaps. About 3 miles later, turn base (which coincidently was about 45 seconds) and select flaps 25 speed 140 knots. Descend when required. Turning final select landing flaps and speed Vref + 5 nil wind. Complete the Landing checklist. With an EFIS 737, if runway had an ILS, turn on the standby ILS selector which would give you glide slope guidance on early base leg before it appears on the PFD. Useful in the simulator where visual display limited over the shoulder.
