AIRCRAFT BRIEF
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 is a re-engined, fourth-generation 737 that first flew on January 29, 2016 and entered service with Malindo Air in May 2017. It is powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines offering a 14% fuel burn improvement over the previous 737 NG, along with advanced winglets and airframe refinements. iFly Simulations' 737 MAX 8 for MSFS 2024 is a study-level recreation featuring a fully modelled CDU, custom autopilot, EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) for performance calculations, and authentic LEAP-1B engine procedures, distinguished from the Asobo default 737 MAX by its deep systems modelling.
