B737NG Unpressurized Ferry Flight Considerations
 

Hi guys.
I am scheduled for a ferry flight.
This B737NG airplane suffered from tail strike few days ago, my duty is to move this plane to some place where repairs will be carried out.
Because of the tail cone damage, we will fly unpressurized, and this is my first time for unpressurized flight.
We will definitely fly at or below 10,000ft, limit climb and descent rate below 1000FPM.
Is there any other things we should consider?
How about keeping the PACKs on for cool air for comfort and equipment cooling with the outflow v/v fully open?
Any advice will be welcome.
Thanks you guys!

Best to see what Boeing has to say.

There is a Boeing procedure for this, found where you would expect to find it. Follow it.

Never flew the 737

I do remember doing an unpressurized ferry flight in the 727 many years ago, one thing I remember vividly is how incredibly noisy it was, not just because we were at 10,000 feet but the lack of pressurization made a huge difference

Don’t be surprised !

:ugh:

Many years ago flew a 737-300 unpressurised from Europe back to London. Can’t remember the details of the procedure but it took a lot longer at FL100! The novelty of flying at a relatively low level soon wore off although I recall Paris at night looked very pretty at that level. I don’t recall temperature or noise in the cabin being an issue.

The reason for the ferry flight was a catering truck had impacted the hull and punctured the structure.

FL100 ?

Wimps ! :O
