737 GENERAL POWER PLANT ENGINE HAZARDS

General

It is dangerous to work around engines. Use the
entry/exit corridor when the engine is in operation. Stay
out of the inlet and exhaust areas when the engine is in
operation.

These are the hazards around an engine in operation:

Inlet suction
Exhaust heat
Exhaust velocity
Engine noise.

Inlet Suction

Engine inlet suction can pull people and large objects
into the engine. At idle power, the inlet hazard area is a
13 ft (4.0 m) radius around the inlet.

WARNING: IF THE WIND IS OVER 25 KNOTS,
INCREASE THE INLET HAZARD AREA BY
20%.

Exhaust Heat

The engine exhaust is very hot for a long distance
behind the engine. This can cause damage to
personnel and equipment.

Exhaust Velocity

Exhaust velocity is very high for a long distance behind
the engine. This can cause damage to personnel and
equipment.

Engine Noise

Engine noise can cause temporary and permanent loss
of your ability to hear. You must wear ear protection
when near an engine in operation.

Engine Entry/Exit Corridor

Engine entry corridors are between the inlet hazard
areas and the exhaust hazard areas. You should go
near an engine in operation only when:

The engine is at idle
You can speak with people in the flight
compartment.

For additional safety, wear a safety harness when the
engine is in operation.

Training Information Point

When the engine is in operation, the anticollision lights
should be on.

737 GENERAL EE COMPARTMENT DOOR
OPERATION

Operation

You manually operate an external access door to the
electronic equipment (EE) compartment. You open and
close the door from outside the airplane.

Open Door

The handle on the door fairs in a recess. A push
button trigger releases the handle, and it comes out of
fair by spring force.

Turn the handle counterclockwise to disengage the
latch pins. When the latch pins are free you can push
the door upward and slightly to the right to the first
detent. Then push the door to the right to the fully open
detent.

When the door is fully open, the roller tracks can be
folded to improve access to the equipment racks. A
spring catch on the end of each roller track holds the
track in the folded or unfolded position.

Close Door

Before you close the door, release the spring catch and
extend the roller tracks. Make sure the door frame area
is clear.

EFFECTIVITY

Pull the door out of the fully open detent and then
restrain it as gravity causes it to slide down the tracks.
When the door reaches the lower detent you can
release it.

Turn the handle counterclockwise to retract the latch
pins. If you do not do this, the door will not seat in the
door frame.

Pull the handle to the left and the door will come out of
the partially open detent. Then it slides down into the
door frame.

Turn the handle clockwise to latch the door. Then push
the door handle back into its recess.

system (ACARS)/Communications Management
Unit (CMU) based on effectivity
Flight Control Computer (FCC) based on
effectivity
Flight data acquisition unit (FDAU)
Airplane condition monitoring system (ACMS)
Electronic engine control (EEC)
APU engine control unit (ECU).

Except for the EEC, you use the data loader at the P61
to load the software.

You load the EEC software at the engine with a
portable loader.

Loadable Software Binder

A binder is in the book compartment at the bottom of
the P61. The binder has all the software necessary to
load software at the airplane.

Installation Procedure

These are the basic steps to load software at the
