GSX PRO PMDG B737-900/900ER AIRCRAFT PROFILE
The Next-Generation 737 provides our airline customers with superior reliability, fuel efficiency and high-value returns operators require in today's competitive market. We will continue to provide this level of performance and quality as we transition to the 737 MAX. The popularity of the Next-Generation 737, combined with new innovation, launched our 737 MAX Family. With more than 5,000 orders, the 737 MAX is the fastest-selling airplane in Boeing’s history.
737-900
Stretched to 138 ft 2 in (42.11 m) and keeping the double overwing exits, the first 737-900 was delivered to Alaska Airlines on May 15, 2001
Boeing later introduced the 737-900, an even longer variant stretched to 138 ft 2 in (42.11 m). Because the −900 retains the same exit configuration of the −800, seating capacity is limited to 189, although aircraft equipped with a typical 2-class layout will seat approximately 177. The 737-900 also retains the MTOW and fuel capacity of the −800, trading range for payload. Alaska Airlines launched the 737-900 in 1997, the 737-900 made its first flight on August 3, 2000, and Alaska Airlines accepted the delivery on May 15, 2001. The type proved unpopular, with only 52 delivered, before being replaced by the improved 737-900ER.
737-900ER
The 737-900ER features an extra door aft of the wing, Lion Air received the first one on April 27, 2007
The 737-900ER (Extended Range), which was called the 737-900X before launch, was the final and largest variant of the Boeing 737 NG line. It was introduced to fill the range and passenger capacity gap in Boeing's product offerings after the 757-200 was discontinued, address the shortcomings of the 737-900, and to directly compete with the Airbus A321.
Up to two auxiliary fuel tanks in the cargo hold and standard winglets improved the range of the stretched jet to that of other 737NG variants, while an additional pair of exit doors and a flat rear pressure bulkhead increased maximum seating capacity to 220 passengers. Airlines may deactivate (plug) the additional exit doors if the total configured capacity of the plane is 189 passengers or less.
The first 737-900ER was rolled out of the Renton, Washington, factory on August 8, 2006, for its launch customer, Lion Air, an Indonesian low-cost airline. The airline received this aircraft on April 27, 2007, in a special dual paint scheme combining Lion Air's logo on the vertical stabilizer and Boeing's livery colors on the fuselage. A total of 505 -900ERs were delivered.
NOTE: This profile has been modified from the ORIGINAL PMDG Downloaded version, these are the modifications:
- Belt loaders have been moved away from being partially inside the cargo bay to just outside the opening of the door.
- Forward PAX stairs and Rear PAX stairs have been moved away from the aircraft fuselage, they are no longer touching the body of the airframe.
- Height Adjustment on ALL six ground equipment (Belt loaders, Catering Vehicles, PAX Stairs 1&2) modified to correct height.
