What is the rate of climb of a fully loaded Boeing 737-800? A heavy -8 might get 1300–1500 fpm initially, dropping to around 1000 fpm or less approaching optimum altitude for the weight. That's at max take off gross weight.

Maintain 6 or 7 degrees nose-up pitch attitude to climb at 250 kts until reaching 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), and then maintain 280 KIAS to your cruising altitude. Cruise altitude is normally determined by winds, weather, and other factors.
The actual maximum climb out angle with passengers is 40 degrees, and is used for noise abatement around neighborhoods that have obtained restrictions on noise.

The standard aircraft departure climb gradient (CG) is 200 feet per nautical mile. This value is designed to provide 48 feet of clearance at one nautical mile from the departure end of the runway (DER).
While the average passenger might not notice many major differences between the two, the MAX is a major improvement over the 737-800 especially in terms of overall efficiency and range, and passengers can expect to continue seeing more MAX aircraft over the coming years as Boeing continues to fill its backlog of orders ...
“The 737-800 that crashed in southern China's Guangxi province 'is one of the safest aircraft ever produced in commercial operation. It's one of the most widely used aircraft around the world. By all indications, this was an airworthy aircraft,' Dickson said on CNBC's Squawk Box.
All these climb rates seem very, very slow. After takeoff & clean up, you should be aiming for 3000-4000fpm until 1000. From 10000 to 20000, as you speed up, you should be somewhere from 2500 (even 3k) to 2000fpm. Towards the cruise altitude, climb speed can be anywhere from 1500 to 500fpm.
737-800. The Boeing 737-800 is a stretched version of the 737-700. It replaced the 737-400 and competes primarily with the Airbus A320. The 737-800 seats 162 passengers in a two-class layout or 189 passengers in a one-class layout.
