Default B737 speed cards

Does anyone know where I can get speed cards for a B737-300 with CFM56-3B-1 engines?

All the speed cards I've seen have been based around the FH and allowed in 121 ops by individual opspec. All the BBJ ops I've seen use the charts in the FH.

Whose cards are you looking for?

I can get all of the speed cards you want but they aren't worth the plastic they are printed on without the Flight Handbook, performance data, Ops Specs and weight & balance information for the specific airframe.

Back to the bar for a kold one before they close.

We have an aircraft previously operated by US Airways. We have the AFM but I don't care to go blind using the graphs to dig out the information. I was hoping speed cards were a little more generic. Right now we use APG printouts but they are a little awkward. Is there any other way to get the numbers?

I don't know what your approved procedures are based on but if you're using the Boeing FCOM, both the QRH and Volume I will have easy to use charts and one can easily extract the numbers you need.

Having used both speed cards and the Boeing FCOM, the latter is much easier to use and in my view, a better option.

If you need more information, send a PM.

Thanks, Phantom.

We are a one airplane airline hastily thrown together to operate on a government contract. As such we are a "public use" airline subject to very few rules. We don't even follow Part 91 in some situations. We don't have or need approval for much of anything. (Typical bottom feeder but there is not much else out there right now.) Our manuals and documents were collected from a variety of sources and don't necessarily match the aircraft we operate so I am not sure we even have the information to which you refer. To be fair, we are in the process of acquiring a Part 125 certificate and will have to tighten things up eventually. For now let's say we are. . . um . . . less than professional.

I am away from the operation for about a week but when I get back I will try and dig deeper for the information you mentioned.
