I would like to request that ipacs at some point in the future add the HUD on the B737-900ER, Well, most current 737s use this feature, and it is a great tool for Landings and Takeoffs

Hi,
No 737 operator uses the HUD, as a matter of fact it's really uncommon
-
Alaska fitted all their 737s with huds, even the -400s!

There are not that many operators that have the HUD installed but it also depends on the country they operate in and their regulations.
It's a lot of work to add a HUD because the ceiling of the cockpit would also need to be switched out for the non HUD version...
-
For now we can just use the built in HUD feature. It's quite similar to the actual one.

Remember how useful the flight path vector in the attitude indicator is, carefully holding a 3 degree glidepath you quickly spot any undesirable speed or descent rate trends.
This is better than trying to chase a flight director if you are not set up right for the descent.
