What the Boeing 737NG type training covers

The Boeing 737 Next Generation (737NG) — the 737-600, -700, -800 and -900/-900ER — is one of the most widely operated narrow-body families in service. This question bank follows the structure of a 737NG type-rating and continuation-training course, organised by ATA chapter so revision maps directly onto the maintenance documentation and the type course.

Coverage spans the full airframe and systems syllabus: air conditioning and pressurisation, autoflight and the flight management system, communications and navigation, electrical and hydraulic power, flight controls, fuel, ice and rain protection, landing gear, the pneumatic and bleed system, and the structural chapters. The powerplant chapters address the single CFM56-7B installation, its controls, indicating and starting.

Suitable for initial type-rating preparation or recurrent knowledge checks.

Sample questions below are drawn live from the Boeing 737NG question bank of 4 384 questions across 27 ATA chapters. The full timed practice quiz is per-chapter and needs an active subscription.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Boeing 737NG type rating?
The 737NG type rating is the aircraft-specific authorisation for the Boeing 737 Next Generation family (737-600, -700, -800, -900 and -900ER). For Part66 engineers it sits on top of a Category B1.1 or B2 licence and is earned through a Part-147-approved 737NG type-training course followed by on-the-job training.
Is the 737NG the same type rating as the 737 Classic?
No. The 737NG (-600 through -900ER) is a distinct EASA type rating from the 737 Classic (-300/-400/-500). The NG introduced a new wing, CFM56-7B engines, glass cockpit displays and many system changes, so engineers cross-rating between Classic and NG complete a separate type or differences course.
Are 737-600, -700, -800, and -900ER all covered?
Yes. All four NG variants are covered under one type rating and the question bank reflects that. Variant-specific details (mostly fuselage length, landing gear and APU/bleed differences on the -900 and -900ER) are noted in the relevant ATA chapters.
Which engine is covered?
The single CFM56-7B installation, fitted to the entire 737NG family. ATA 70-series chapters cover engine controls, indicating, starting, fuel and oil systems and reverser operation.
Are SMYD, WTRIS and the flight management systems covered?
Yes. Dedicated chapters cover the Stall Management Yaw Damper (SMYD), the Weight and Balance and Takeoff Reference Information Systems (WTRIS), and the Flight Management Computer / Flight Management System, alongside the standard autoflight, comms/nav and indicating chapters.
Will this prepare me for the official 737NG type-rating exam?
The questions are written in the same multiple-choice format as the official Part-147 type-rating theoretical exam, the practice is timed to build exam pace, and coverage maps onto the EASA-approved syllabus. The actual exam is sat at your Part-147 training organisation; this is a self-study tool.
