Boeing 737 MAX
Last updated: 2026-04-21
The Boeing 737 MAX is the fourth generation of the 737 family, powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines and featuring an updated flight deck, returned to European service in 2021 following the MCAS recertification process. It is a workhorse of European EASA general-aviation training fleets, used at both DTO and ATO operators for hour-building and rating progression. undefined
What is the Boeing 737 MAX used for in flight training?
The 737 MAX type rating includes differences training from the NG covering MCAS system awareness, SPEED TRIM override procedures, and new MAX-specific display enhancements. EASA required enhanced simulator training before airline return-to-service, making MAX-qualified crews among the most thoroughly briefed on a single-systems issue in commercial aviation history. Pilots progressing from the NG to MAX receive abbreviated differences training. The MAX 8, 9, and 10 variants cover most current-generation Ryanair and TUI fleet requirements.
