Column Displacement

It's an odd question but does anybody happen to know
the max control column displacements (in degrees) of the
Boeing 737 NG series?

Failing that does anybody have a protractor and a 737 I can borrow?

Kind regards

Sorry to be confusing, I'll try and clarify.

I'm not talking about handling requirements or anything that involved, just literally what is the maximum angle you can rotate the control wheel (from neutral) before it hits the stops (and physically can't move any further). Similarly what is the maximum fore/aft deflection of the column before it hits the stops.

The reason I ask is that I have some old simulator data that records control column and wheel deflections as a ratio of the maximum displacement. I was hoping to convert the values into meaningful engineering units.

Does this help at all?

Here you see the neutral position of the control column:

Acc AMM the aft stop is minimum 14 degrees aft of the column neutral position.
The forward stop is minimum 12.8 degrees forward of the column neutral position.

Thanks Ifix, that's exactly what I was looking for.

The amount of knowledge that is floating around on this forum always amazes me
