Title: Slope of cockpit floor
Post by: ekznamu on September 30, 2011, 11:16:29 PM

Hi Guys,

i'm building a new floor construction for my 737 Sim.
On the pic below (from Boeing ??) you can see that the floor is raising a few degrees to the aft.

Would be nice if a real pilot (hi Mike ....) can tell me something about this.

Regards
Uwe

The floor is not sloped, at least it wasn't in the real shell I had. The Pre-NG's had a nose down angle when sitting on the ground so maybe the person who made that draft was showing that?

That drawing is from the 757/767 FCOM but just had a look at mine and the floor looks to be definitly flat, 90 degrees measured from the ribs. perhaps the entire aircaft sits in a slightly nose down attitude on its landing gear?

But the black line representing the floor seems to have been drawn on afterwards and the two measurments for the seat height dont really tell you much.

But as far as i know it should be flat.
