Training & Revision
Resources
Pilot-focused resources for Boeing 737NG type ratings, simulator assessments and recurrent training — including visual revision, demonstration videos and a free Boeing 737-800 cockpit poster.
Why We Recommend Visual B737 Training
If you're preparing for a Boeing 737NG type rating, simulator assessment or recurrent check, the challenge usually isn't a lack of material.
Most pilots already have plenty to study through manuals, SOPs, technical notes and formal course material. The harder part is turning that into something you can quickly visualise, absorb and recall when it matters.
That's where we think V-Prep works particularly well.
FlightDeckFriend has worked with V-Prep for many years. Their B737NG platform uses simulator and cockpit footage, 2D and 3D animation and clear narration to bring aircraft systems and procedures to life in a way that can be revisited on a laptop, tablet or phone. The videos are prepared and vetted by experienced Boeing 737 Training Captains, giving pilots another practical way to reinforce the technical and procedural material they are already studying.
Where This Really Helps
For us, one of the biggest strengths of this type of training is targeted revision.
On the 737, that might mean reviewing a flow, refreshing your FMC setup logic, revisiting a systems topic, or reminding yourself how a particular manoeuvre or manual reversion scenario is likely to be presented in the simulator.
You might be on the train heading to a sim detail, sitting in a hotel the evening before, or just using a quiet half-hour in the morning before training starts.
Rather than diving back into a full manual, you can open the exact topic you want to refresh and quickly bring it back to the front of your mind in a more visual, digestible format.
Being able to revisit the exact procedure, manoeuvre or system you need immediately before using it is where we think visual training becomes a genuinely useful revision tool.
It doesn't replace your airline's manuals, SOPs, formal training or simulator instruction — and it isn't intended to. We see it as another useful tool alongside them.
See How V-Prep Works
This short overview introduces V-Prep's visual training approach and shows how the platform brings aircraft systems and procedures to life.
B737 Training Examples
These examples show how V-Prep turns technical and procedural material into visual revision that pilots can revisit whenever they need it.

Free Boeing 737-800 Cockpit Poster
V-Prep has also produced a detailed Boeing 737-800 cockpit poster which is free to download.
It's a useful resource for cockpit familiarisation, chair-flying and refreshing the location of panels and controls away from the aircraft or simulator.
If you're about to start a Boeing 737 type rating, we'd suggest saving a copy to your laptop or tablet — or printing one out for your study area.

Why FlightDeckFriend
Recommends V-Prep
We're selective about the commercial products and services we recommend to pilots.
We've maintained a relationship with V-Prep for many years because the concept behind the platform still makes sense to us from a pilot's perspective: some subjects are simply easier to understand and remember when you can see them happening.
For somebody preparing for a Boeing 737 type rating, simulator assessment or recurrent check, having aircraft-specific visual material available whenever you have ten minutes to revise can be genuinely useful.
That's why V-Prep remains one of the training resources we're happy to recommend to the FlightDeckFriend community.
