1st Flight Pattern

Question 1

Takeoff thrust setting prior to selecting N1?

Answer 1

70% N1

Question 2

Initial pitch attitude?

Answer 2

17.5° then follow the FD ~15°

Question 3

At 400’ what is the target bank angle for the first turn?

Answer 3

~20° AoB

Question 4

Reaching 1500’ what mode, speed and attitude is used?

Answer 4

“Flight level change, set speed 195 knots”, slowly lower pitch to 10° to accelerate

Question 5

As speed passes 175 knots on climb what does the PF call for?

Answer 5

“Flaps 1”

Question 6

At 2700’ what pitch do you set, what do you ask for and what do you do?

Answer 6

Lower to 7.5°, call “After takeoff checklist” and reset clock

Question 7

At 2950’ what is the target pitch?

Answer 7

Slowly lower the nose to very slightly above the 5° line

Question 8

What do you call for when established level at 3000’?

Answer 8

Say “Centre Command” and read the 4 x FMA annunciations. Call for the “after takeoff checklist” if not already completed.

Question 9

What is the approach briefing?

Answer 9

• Weather suitable for visual approach
• Flap 30
• Vref 135, 175, 215
• Autobrakes 2
• In the event of a missed approach I will call “Go Around, Flaps 20”, I will set go around thrust (motion this as saying). You will say “positive” I will say “Gear Up” and then we will climb on runway heading and contact ATC. Any questions?

Question 10

Answer 10

“Descent and Approach checklists”

Question 12

At what XTE do we clear right/left for our downwind turn?

Answer 12

4.0nm XTE

Question 13

At what XTE do we set downwind heading (adjusted for wind)

Answer 13

At EXACTLY 3.0NM XTE set HDG 352°

Question 14

What is the target XTE abeam?

Answer 14

2.0NM

Question 15

What is the Approach thrust setting?

Answer 15

62%-64% N1

Question 16

What are the 6 commands when abeam the landing threshold?

Answer 16

• Abeam,
• Time,
• Gear Down,

Question 21

Answer 21

25°AoB
