20 Flashcards
The aircraft has been held for some time at FL170 by ATC due to conflicting traffic. Upon further climb clearance being received, which EADI annunciations will appear as the aircraft is released by the crew to climb in VNAV to its FMC VNAV cruise altitude of FL370?
VNAV SPD/N1’
The aircraft is climbing in VNAV and conforming to a SID, which has only a maximum speed constraint of 210 KIAS below 10,000 ft. In order to accelerate to economy climb speed after passing 10,000 ft?
The AFDS will lower the aircrafts pitch attitude and thrust will remain at climb value as before
If the aircraft is cruising in VNAV and LNAV, and the auto-throttle is engaged, other than LNAV and CMD, what EADI annunciations would you expect to see?
SPD/VNAV PATH
The aircraft is cruising at FL310 in VNAV with the auto-throttle and autopilot engaged approaching the FMC predicted Top of Descent point. The MCP altitude window value is 35,000 ft. What will happen as the aircraft reaches Top D?
The aircraft will continue to cruise at FL310 and VNAV will disengage
The aircraft has begun a descent from FL330 in VNAV and the A/T has reduced thrust to flight idle. The MCP altitude window is set to 12,000 ft and the FMC target altitude is 1500 ft. Assuming no action is taken the by the flight crew, which statement best represents the way the FMC will manage the descent?
The aircraft will capture 12,000 ft, and the A/T will increase thrust to maintain the speed that was being held in the descent
Runway align sub-mode becomes operative at:
500 ft radio altitude and reduces the crab angle due to crosswind
Go-Around mode is armed whenever:
The glide-slope is captured, irrespective of whether the flaps are up or down
What is ‘alpha floor’?
It is the maximum permitted angle of attack for the aircraft type
Setting the EICAS computer to “Auto” means that one computer inputs into the EICAS screen at one time, and the other takes over automatically should the first fail. T/F
True
T/F Only the last manually recorded message is retained in non-volatile memory.
True
The aircraft has been parked overnight, and leaves the departure gate at 7:00 am. It is 3 km to the threshold of the duty runway. Assuming no braking is used during taxiing, the brake temperatures at line up:
Will be higher than at start of taxi
Failure of the upper CRT means that the crew will need to manually select the “Compact Display” to display all primary and secondary engine data. T/F
False
The thrust reversers are in transit, the display of ‘REV’ would be displayed in:
Amber
The fast/slow speed deviation maximum deflection is?
+/- 10kt
You have programmed a 10 nm left ‘offset LNAV PATH’, and have ‘executed’ it. The original path would appear on the EHSI screen as?
Magenta solid line
