|  Moving from a 737-800 to a 737-200 I'm currently on the 738 but I will be flying both of these fine machines eventually. There will be some sort of difference training but until that starts I thought I'd check with others on this forum about what I can expect. Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated on flying the -200. Perhaps there are online resources as well that could be of help? Cheers!

| Agent Smith  | Re: Moving from a 737-800 to a 737-200 The -200ADV's autopilot isn't a whole lot different than the newer Boeings. HOWEVER, if it's the straight -200's, yes, the autopilot bites monkey butt -- it's a lot like the "block 4's" of the 72's.

 | Re: Moving from a 737-800 to a 737-200 Get ready for "Back to the Future." You'll be flying '60s technology in the -200.
