    ASA Options

    Anybody able to verify the different options that Alaska has on their 737's.

    I would appreciate the different options between the 800, 900, and newer 900er's.

    Thanks

    Depends on the tail number.
    Any xxxAK tail number which is the newest 900 ERsdoesn’t have the short field package, they are performance improved LED lights with pulse I believe, new fuel control cut off switches.
    4xxAS tails number are ETOPS, SFP, performance improved, some have the new fuel control cutoff switches and LED lights. (I think the changeover occurs somewhere are 480AS not sure exactly which tail number) They all have LED strobe lights some have the halogen landing lights.
    The -800s 5xxAS the ETOPS ones are obviously ETOPs, SFP, old fuel cutoff switches, the older 800s have the Honeywell MCP.
    The 900s 3xxAS
    300-305 no winglets, Honeywell MCP no SFP, non ETOPS, original lights no pulse all have eyebrows.
    306 and up a few of the oldest ones have eyebrows and some options as above.
    315 and up have same options with no eyebrows.
    No range rings

      Huh? The short-field performance package is standard on the -900ER.

        I work within AAG and can say for a fact that the AK tail numbers are not SFP and non ETOPS.

          Then I guess Boeing got it wrong since they're the ones saying the -900ER has the SFP as standard.

              With all do respect Kevin I can see the equipment packages on their fleet, as I have access to that information. I just verified that the AKs do not have SFP. In addiction for working for a branch of AAG I have jumpseater on countless Alaska 737s. Just trying to give the highlights for equipment options on the various fleets.

                Certainly not trying to dispute your claim since I'm sure you're more knowledgeable in this area than I am, I just find it a little unusual that what Boeing's saying and what Alaska's saying are contradicting each other. In any event, the PMDG 737-900ER doesn't really give you a choice in the matter, either, it gives you the SFP as standard.

                  Awesome thanks for the info guys,

                  Now that the paintkit is out, I'm sure we will see some more tail numbers soon.

                  Did Alaska equip any of the 900ers with the extended tanks?

                  Thanks!

                      I’m working on N581AS at the moment, 551 and 549 will follow 😊 After that the -900/ERs will come in ...

                        I've got the most recent fleet report right here in front of me off our internal FLT OPS site.

                        All 900ERs in both the 4xxAS and 2xxAK tail number series ARE equipped with the SFP/two position tail skids.

                        The 4xxAS series are ETOPS, the 2xxAK series are non-ETOPS.

                        7 of our -800s do NOT have the SFP installed. The remaining 48 -800s do have the SFP/single position tail skid installed. Only 6 of our -800s are none- ETOPS, the rest are all ETOPS equipped.

                        For our -900s. These are the 3xxAS series tail numbers, none have the SFP installed, and are not ETOPS equipped.

                        The configuration files that will be available once the new AS liveries are made available, were created using the most recent fleet report and Company 737 Systems Handbook. This includes equipment and display options that match the majority of the AS 900ER and 800 fleet.

                          That would be awesome.

                          Unfortunately, I don't believe we can equip LED strobes and halogen landing lights currently.

                          Hopefully PMDG can look into adding this feature.

                              That’s strange I just pulled a release for an AK and it didn’t have SFP in the remarks which, the 4xxS always do. I wonder why dispatch wouldn’t include it on the AK releases. If flightops says that’s the config it must be right.

                                Adam,

                                All the document ion we have indicate that the 900ER has SFP installed by default from Boeing.

                                As for the OP. Since it is not possible to have all variations for each livery we used what is common on most of them for our Alaska Liveries hence the verified option

                                  FYI the LED landing/taxi lights were introduced on line number 5555.

                                    First Alaska 900ER paint I could find for the NGXu! N493AS.
                                    She's not perfect, but I'm glad to flying some ASA metal.
                                    Now she just needs a custom PTP file.

                                        Hey y'all! Alaska Airlines (2016) for the PMDG 737-800NGXu SSW is now available! It's going out to avsim as well so when it's out there I'll edit in the link here. In the meantime, here's a Google Drive link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11C4...ew?usp=sharingimage_4014.png

It's going out to avsim as well so when it's out there I'll edit in the link here. In the meantime, here's a Google Drive link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XL1...ew?usp=sharing

                                            The Collins MCP and ISFD instruments were introduced in 2003 so aircraft older than that will likely still have the Honeywell MCP and analog standby instruments (unless they've been replaced).

                                                  Gotta say, that ^^^ looks like a really nice job! If someone's up for a challenge, the "honoring those who serve" liveries are really cool, in addition to expressing a nice sentiment.
