What the Boeing 737NG to MAX Diff type training covers
The Boeing 737 MAX (MAX 7/8/9/10) is a differences type for personnel already qualified on the 737NG. This question bank reflects that approach: each chapter concentrates on the differences from the NG to the MAX rather than re-teaching common systems, so conversion study time is focused where it matters.
Coverage includes the re-engining with the CFM LEAP-1B and its larger fan — the nacelle, pylon and engine-indicating changes that follow — along with the revised flight-control behaviour, the updated display system, the Advanced Technology winglets, the electrical and hydraulic changes and the other MAX-specific system updates. Chapters are organised by ATA so the material maps onto the differences-course structure and the maintenance documentation.
Use this for 737NG-to-MAX conversion training or recurrent checks.
Sample questions below are drawn live from the Boeing 737NG to MAX Diff question bank of 3 194 questions across 30 ATA chapters. The full timed practice quiz is per-chapter and needs an active subscription.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 737NG to 737 MAX differences course?
It is the EASA Part-147 differences-training course that converts an engineer or pilot already type-rated on the 737NG onto the 737 MAX. Because the airframe is shared with significant system changes rather than a redesign, EASA recognises the MAX as a differences type on top of the NG rather than a brand-new type rating.
Do I need a 737NG type rating before the MAX?
Yes. The differences course assumes a current 737NG type rating. Without it the route is the full 737NG type-rating course first, then the NG-to-MAX differences. If you are not yet NG-rated, study the 737NG question bank first.
What is the LEAP-1B and how does it differ from the CFM56-7B?
The CFM LEAP-1B is the MAX-only engine — a higher-bypass, larger-fan-diameter design that delivers about 14% better fuel burn than the CFM56-7B on the NG. The larger fan required a longer nose landing gear, repositioned nacelles and a redesigned pylon; the engine indicating and FADEC behaviour also differs.
Is MCAS covered in this question bank?
Yes. The Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) is covered in the flight-controls difference chapter, including its sensor sourcing, activation logic and the post-grounding software changes (multi-AoA input, single activation, pilot-override authority).
Are all MAX variants (7/8/9/10) included?
Yes. The MAX 7, MAX 8 (and MAX 8-200), MAX 9 and MAX 10 share the differences type rating and the question bank treats them collectively, with variant-specific notes where they apply (mostly fuselage length and landing-gear/lavatory details on the MAX 10).
Is this for maintenance engineers, pilots, or both?
The question bank is written for Part66 maintenance personnel (Category B1.1 / B2) doing the NG-to-MAX differences training. Pilots have a separate differences syllabus focused on flight-deck and handling differences; while there is overlap on systems theory, this site is not designed for pilot type-rating preparation.
