Boeing 737 Cockpit Accessories for Pilots

The Boeing 737 flight deck is designed around efficiency, but pilots still deal with a constant stream of personal equipment. The best cockpit accessories are therefore the ones that remove small sources of friction without getting in the way.

1. A dedicated headset mount

A headset is one of the most frequently handled pieces of pilot equipment. A dedicated holder keeps it in a predictable location when it is not in use. For Bose users, Crew Essential offers dedicated Bose A20 B737 and Bose ProFlight B737 mounts.

2. Keep accessories compact

Cockpit space is limited. Avoid accessories that create unnecessary clutter or require repeated repositioning. Small, purpose-built items are generally more useful than generic organisers.

3. Prioritise accessibility

An accessory should make equipment easier to reach, not harder. Before buying anything for the flight deck, consider where it will sit and whether it could interfere with normal pilot tasks.

4. Think about your seat position

For equipment mounted or stored in a particular position, left-seat and right-seat configuration can matter. Check compatibility before ordering rather than assuming that one configuration works equally well for both seats.

5. Choose accessories made for pilots

Generic consumer accessories are rarely designed around airline cockpit workflows. Aviation-specific accessories can be more useful when they solve a problem pilots actually encounter every day.

Final thought

You do not need a cockpit full of gadgets. The strongest setup is usually a small number of accessories that solve recurring problems reliably.
