The values in this POH are taken from the "how-to-fly" document
written by Guy Daems, a Sabena 737-300 First Officer.

Section One: Aircraft Description:
Flight Shop (by BAO Software -- now part of Microsoft) is required
to use this aircraft. The flight model is geared to provide similar
performance to the actual 737-300. Additional documentation is included
with the download (zip) file that was written by a Sabena 737-300 First
Officer (Guy Daems). I have taken that information and put it into
our normal POH format.
----------------------------------------------------
Section Two: Aircraft Operations:
Please Read the Flight Shop manual for information about the
flight and visual models of Flight Shop developed aircraft.
Taxi: Safe taxi speed is 15 knots.
Takeoff: Max Takeoff Weight: 124,500 lb.
**Emergency Landing After Takeoff: Dump fuel so that Maximum Landing
Weight will not be exceeded. (Go to: Sim, Engines & Fuel, set quantity so that max. landing weight will
not be exceeded).
T/O Weight Flaps Rotate Speed Initial Climb Speed
-----------------------------------------------------------
40 Tons 10 (F6) 112 Knots 141 Knots
50 Tons 10 (F6) 129 Knots 154 Knots
60 Tons 10 (F6) 146 Knots 168 Knots
Use the chart above to plan your takeoff. Take your planned
T/O weight and use the flap, Vr (rotate speed) and initial
climb speed (for takeoff).
If your planned takeoff weight is 50 tons (100,000 lb.), use
a flap setting of 10 (F6), Vr of 129 Knots and initial climb
speed of 154 Knots.
**Takeoff Power Settings:
Normal T/O: 94% (Turbo)
High Temp./Weight/Altitude T/O: Full Power*
*Use full throttle only when at max. t/o
weight and/or when taking off from
an airport during a time of high temperature
and/or altitude.
**Rotation:
Rotate at the speed specified on the Takeoff Table. Rotate
to and hold a "nose up" angle of 10 degrees until leaving
the ground. Once off the ground, pull up to a "nose up" angle
of 20 degrees. Fly the airspeed specified in the takeoff table.
Make pitch corrections to hold this airspeed.
Climb:
At 1,500 ft. AGL (Above Ground Level) reduce power to 90% (Turbo) and
"nose up" angle to 17 degrees.
At 3,000 ft. AGL, reduce "nose up" angle to 10 degrees. The aircraft
will begin to accelerate. Retract all flaps and accelerate to, but
do not exceed 250 Knots.
At 10,000 ft. MSL accelerate to 300 Knots and continue climb. As
you climb you may accelerate to, but not exceed your cruise airspeed.
Reduce "nose up" angle and increase power as needed to maintain airspeed
and rate of climb.
Autopilot Climb:
If you choose an autopilot controlled climb, perfrom as follows:
Climb under pilot's control, as instructed above, until reaching
10,000 ft. AGL. At this level, engage autopilot with the assigned
cruise alitude programmed. Aircraft will reduce "nose up" angle and
accelerate. Accelerate up to, but do not exceed, cruise airspeed.
As the climb progresses, increase power as needed to
maintain airspeed and climb rate. (Additional power is required
due to, among other things, reduced air density at higher altitudes).
NOTAM: You will be around 96% (Turbo) by reaching cruise altitude.
Cruise:
Cruise airspeed is Mach 0.74.
Set autopilot to hold assigned cruise altitude.
Engage autopilot and set throttle to 77-86% (Turbo) to
hold cruise airspeed of Mach 0.74. Throttle setting will
vary depending on aircraft weight, altitude and temperature.
Operational Ceiling = 37,000 ft.
Descent:
Manual:
Set Power to idle thrust and a "nose up" angle of 3 degrees. Descend
at airspeed of Mach 0.70 until reaching 280 Knots and hold 280 Knots.
At 10,000 ft. MSL, reduce airspeed to 250 Knots.
Airspeed in the vicinity of the destination airport should be 210 Knots.
Autopilot Descent:
Reduce throttle to idle thrust and set autopilot to assinged
altitude. Aircraft will accelerate, even at idle thrust, so use
of spoilers is needed to control airspeed. Maintain an airspeed
of Mach 0.70 until reaching 280 Knots. Maintain 280 Knots to
10,000 ft. MSL where airspeed should be reduced to 250 Knots.
Be sure to use spoilers to maintain airspeed. Unchecked autopilot
descents will lead to overspeed situations which can result
in airframe damage or uncontrolled flight.
Airspeed in the vicinity of the destination airport should be 210 Knots.
Holding:
Airspeed of 210 Knots with no flaps.
Approach and Landing: Max Landing Weight: 114,000 lb.
**Emergency Landing After Takeoff: Dump fuel so that Maximum Landing
Weight will not be exceeded. (Go to: Sim, Engines & Fuel, set quantity so that max. landing weight will not be exceeded).
In the vicinity of the destination airport, the aircraft should be at 250 Knots (max.). Begin to slow the
aircraft by no later than 8 miles out. On approach, feed flaps as follows: **10 miles out (or at or below 170 Knots) - 1st notch flaps (F6)
**6 miles out - 2nd notch flaps (F7)
**3 miles out - full flaps (F8).
**Lower gear at 3 to 5 miles out.
Final approach should be flown at:
Weight Flaps Power Landing Airspeed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
40 Tons 20 (F7) 51% 130 Knots
50 Tons 20 (F7) 53% 146 Knots
60 Tons 20 (F7) 56% 160 Knots
40 Tons 40 (F8) 61% 120 Knots
50 Tons 40 (F8) 63% 136 Knots
60 Tons 40 (F8) 66% 151 KNots
NOTAM: Normal Landing is with Flaps 40 (F8).
Use the chart above to find landing power and airspeeds. Determine
the landing weight of the aircraft and use the figures provided in
the chart for landing phase of flight.
