Work stuff for Continental


Here is some stuff I've either acquired or created for work at Continental Airlines.  I make no guarantees as to the accuracy or currency.  It was good when I made it (to the best of my knowledge), so use it but always check for accuracy.

Documents - Oral / Systems Review Gouge
Last Updated
The first day of review for the System Validation (the electronic Oral).  As we went through the review I highlighted the areas that
the instructor was discussing / pointing out.  I then copied these sections from the flight manual are reformatted them into a question
format. I have made some parts of the text bold and/or italics for emphasis.  Some small bits of information were added by me for
clarification, these additions are generally at the end of a line or the question and are in italics.  These questions come from the
B-737 Flight Manual, Rev-44 and are for the B-737-300/500 systems review.  Sorry, no 700/800/900 stuff here.

Here is an older, but nice, oral review from Bill Bulfer - http://www.fmcguide.com/catalog/media/questions.pdf.  He is the know-
ledgeable gentleman who writes "FMC Guides" and the "737 Cockpit Companions".  If will definitely recommend his Cockpit
Companion.  It will tell you everything you want to know about any switch, light, system, etc. and has a great index that makes it
easy to find the appropriate info.  This is money well spent for the memory challenged folks like me.

Here is a gouge that is a summary of questions that were missed on the electronic oral.  It was from a previous class, but probably
not surprisingly a lot of the same questions were missed by people in my class.

Here are flight profile sheets that describe the various flight & approach profiles each on one page.  A nice summary done by
Bill Bulfer.  Please check for accuracy and currency.

(last time I checked)
Here is a pretty good electrical schematic that shows what things are on each bus.  It is for a generic B-737-300 ?


Below are some work guides that I threw together.  They have nice to know but sometimes hard to remember & find information (at least hard to find when you want it quickly).  I pulled the information from various sources and compiled it here, mainly to help cement the information in my mind more than anything else.  If you find them useful please feel free to use them.  If you see any blatant mistakes please let me know.  I can't promise that I'll fix it
quickly, or even get around to it, but I'll do my best.  Also I will update these as quick as I can when the various sources are updated.  They were sized to fit into the plastic Jeppeson sleeves.  On a Mac they'll probably come out the right size, on a Windoze computer you'll have to play around with the zoom factor (at the Windoze machine in the lobby I think I had to use 105%) to get them the right size.

This is a sheet that summarizes all of the times when alternates & second alternates are required as well as the weather required at
the alternates.  It is a pretty busy sheet, but it gets it all in. This sheet applies only to domestic operations.

This sheet is the same as the one above except that it applies only to international operations. 17 December 2006
This sheet has charts summarizing B-737 Approach guidelines & restrictions (visibility / types of approaches / etc.).
14 January 2007
This sheet has charts summarizing holding rules (U.S. of A. / Canada / Mexico / ICAO) and miscellaneous icing notes. 14 January 2007
This sheet has charts on Wind Chill, Heat Index, and the various different Braking Value systems that are reported.
17 December 2006
This sheet has charts on temperature, speed, and visibility conversions.  There is also a chart for cold WX corrections to the
altimeter setting.
17 December 2006
This sheet has information on required rest periods and calculating Critical Crew Off times (or you can just trust scheduling).
