738 will go up to 51,000 ft if the climb is extremely slow and weights are at a
Minimum. Tried it in
You guys have a lot of time to kill in your sims:E
Had a look at your pressurization differential by any chance?interested..

Concerning the root stall thingy,boeing prefers it that way..so much so they added stall strips there,i dont blame them..i rather stall wings level than stalling a tip.:zzz::ooh:

You do realise that the root stalling first only minimises wing drop, it doesn't prevent it.

Another Day , another 737 800 question !!!
Would I be correct in saying their is 5 portable fire extinguishers on board
4 BCF/Halon - 1 in the cockpit , 3 in the cabin
1 Water- 1 in the cabin
Finding it hard to get a definite on the amount and location.
Also if anyone knew number of torches , axes etc I would love to hear the information.

As always I do really appreciate your advice,
Regards ,
SAR

The actual number and composition can vary with airline. The minimum for 61-200 pax used to be 3 of which 2 had to be Halon in the cabin. At least it was in EU-OPS, don't think it's changed with EASA. Then an additional Halon in the flight deck. So I'd say 4 total (3 Halon, 1 Water) as minimum.


Crash axe one in flight deck, if more than 200 pax an additional one in the cabin (Aft galley).

It will, to some degree vary from operator to operator.

Thank you so much again guys for the help , and I did fear that it would differ from operator to operator - probably why I found it so hard to get a definite answer online.
I don't want to come across as someone being lazy and just trying to seek answers here , but I rather exhaust all information online before seeking clarity so many thanks and hope I am coming across in the right manner.
Operator specific I suppose I would be most interested in Ryanair so not sure if @172driver or @ManaAdaSystem you are working for the forementioned.

Kind Regards,
SAR

Nope sorry

This will also be covered during you SEP course when you start with an airline. I do think in this day and age we should be vigilant in answering questions about how many and location of crash axes on aeroplanes - food for thought.

Thanks for the input B737900er , just few questions being asked at interview at the moment so just wanted to confirm a few things.

Regards,
SAR

Thats not a problem, I suggest check out your ATPL manual, EASA-OPS or the local authority ops manual. Good luck.
