B 737 Cockpit Companion.pdf

When I got back into flight simulation in October 2014, I was told by a friend about the fantastic PDMG 737 NGX add-on aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and quickly snapped it up. While it is a truly accurate representation of the Boeing 737, I quickly realized I had so much to learn to pilot this plane correctly.
This app is amazing on a tablet! You can drill down into every panel in the cockpit, see detailed descriptions, operations, schematics, diagrams, ATA codes, errors, indications, and condition states. It also includes a version of the QRH called the Quick Reference Guide (QRG) to research failures and emergencies.
There is even a setting to select carrier specific information (such as from Southwest, RyanAir, American, United, and others). I spent countless hours digging into this tool and still refer back to it often.
Well, it turns out that all of the actual 737 content for this app came from the renown Bill Bulfer, a major airline Captain turned author. He took it over from Bruce Sprague in 1998 and continues the tradition. His books are often used by real world pilots around the globe and can be purchased at his site, Leading Edge Publishing.
While the digital iPad version of the Cockpit Companion contains most of what you will find in the physical copy, the physical book does contain more intricate information. The 737NG version covers the Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft, including the 737-600, -700, -800, -900, and both BBJs.
The B737NG Cockpit Companion is not a procedural guide, but an expansive look into all of the systems and panels aboard a Boeing 737NG. For those building a home cockpit, this book is almost mandatory. Every switch, function, light, and condition is described in length. I frequently turn to it when configuring my simulator as it is invaluable as a technical reference.
Every page and field you find in the FMC is explained in great detail. Usage steps are laid out with graphical and textual examples. Everything from using conditional waypoints to performance calculations, from forecasting to engine out procedures, this book describes it all. When appropriate, aeronautical charts and cockpit displays are depicted to demonstrate the various FMC operations.
Unfortunately, I think Bill (or the company that helped him create it) pulled it from the App Store. Possibly as it was not being updated any longer. I do not know if it possible to move apps between Apple devices, perhaps with iCloud backup?
We had a bug this summer where support requests were entering the bitbucket. It was disguised by the fact that the Quizzer had its own feedback mechanism which worked, and that gave us the impression everything was working. Apologies if any support inquiries were unanswered. All should be working normally now.
In addition to being another set of eyes and ears in the cockpit, they can help you plan and prepare for the flight. You can see the complete list of tasks in the table of contents below.
