737 MAX
The Boeing 737 MAX is the later 737 single-aisle family using LEAP-1B engines, aerodynamic updates and other design changes intended to improve operating efficiency compared with the preceding 737NG generation.

AIRCRAFT OVERVIEW
About 737 MAX
The 737 MAX family extends the 737 platform with new propulsion, wing and systems changes while retaining family continuity. TechOpsBase treats MAX as its own aircraft family so source-grounded learning and maintenance context can be separated from 737NG material whenever configuration or system differences matter.

FULL LEARNING PATH
B737 MAX ATA 29 — Hydraulic Power Deep Path
Build a source-grounded mental model of B737 MAX hydraulic Systems A/B, standby hydraulics, PTU relationships, indication logic and maintenance reasoning.
FULL LEARNING PATHB737 MAX ATA 21 — Air Conditioning Deep Path
ATA 21 becomes easier to learn when it is treated as several linked functions rather than one large “air-conditioning system”: conditioned-air production, distribution and recirculation, temperature control, equipment cooling and cabin-pressure control.
FULL LEARNING PATHB737 MAX ATA 24 — Electrical Power Deep Path
ATA 24 is best learned as a source-and-distribution network: AC generation, source selection and bus distribution, DC conversion/storage, standby capability and the control/protection logic that keeps incompatible sources from being paralleled incorrectly.
QUICK REFERENCE
