CSS 737-500

The Pocket Rocket

With its two CFM56-3B1 rated at 18K or 20K and an MTOW of up to 60.5 tons, this airplane races into the sky like a rocket. Seating up to 132 passengers in an all-economy configuration, this 737 Classic variant was a reliable option for regional and mainline carriers alike. It is still popular with VIP charter operations and sees commercial passenger use in many countries worldwide. Optional winglets became available as a retrofit in the early 2000s.

Dive into one of the most popular and iconic narrow-body airliners of the 90's and 2000's, the CSS 737 Classic! This airplane is charming but challenging - with just enough automation to keep flying fun, it requires you to think on your feet and presents an exciting challenge to the modern simmer!

With FMC version 5 and no GPS, one must rely on IRS and position updating via conventional navigational aids to safely get their passengers to their destinations. While LNAV/VNAV is present and available, this airplane is much more hands-on, and handflies like a charm - it's an experience like you've never had before!

Hand-crafted, fully external systems, Terrain and Weather radars, TCAS, Icing simulation, Windshield effects, Classic-specific quirks, and a modeled passenger cabin with crew simulation ensure high fidelity and immersion, while custom EFB with SimBrief and Navigraph integration, Takeoff and Landing performance calculations, weight and balance, and various customizable options will enhance your experience.

Regular updates present new features, improvements, and fixes, ensuring your next CSS 737 flight is better than the last one!
