Question Height of the B737 cockpit?
Was just curious, how high is the 737 cockpit from the ground?

The captain's wallet? Lol!
No I think that pretty much keeps falling to the ground with its weight!

Guys....

My records show the 737NG is :

At the forward entry doors, the average distance, floor level to ground :

landing gear extended - 2.6 meters,

landing gear retracted - 1.5 meters.

Hope this is of use to you!

Cheers...FD...
