Aircraft Profile: The Boeing 737-2M6 ADV (Advanced)

The Boeing 737-200 Advanced (often referred to as the -2M6 ADV) is an evolution of the earlier 737 series, distinguished by improved thrust and enhanced efficiency. Southern Winds, an Argentine carrier known for serving numerous domestic routes from Buenos Aires, utilized this variant to offer reliable and flexible short-haul services. In this add-on, the 737-2M6 ADV reflects that operational history, delivering performance suitable for climbing to around 35,000 feet and comfortably cruising at Mach 0.77.

Flight Schedules Covering Key Argentine Destinations

Included in this package is a folder containing 30 flight plans tailored around actual operations for the year 2004. These schedules emphasize national routes frequently served by the 737 fleet, connecting pivotal cities to Buenos Aires. Each flight number and timetable is derived from original data, giving an authentic sense of airline logistics. When loaded into Just Flight Traffic 2004, you can expect a realistic domestic traffic flow that accurately represents Southern Winds’ operational breadth.

Refined Airfile and Flight Dynamics

To ensure this version of the 737-2M6 ADV behaves as authentically as possible, a newly revised AirFile is included, dating from 09-04-04. This refined configuration promotes stable handling characteristics at higher altitudes. Additionally, engine performance has been tuned to enable steady cruise at Mach 0.77, reflecting the real-world capabilities of the advanced 737 variant. Such fine-tuning allows virtual pilots to recreate the airline’s typical flight profiles and performance margins.
