2016 PC Guide - Landing

Question 1

Landing Pressure Altitude

What is the maximum Takeoff and Landing Pressure Altitude limit?

Answer 1

8,400 Feet

Question 2

Scimitar Winglets

You are landing a -800 equipped with Split Scimitar Winglets. What bank angle at touchdown will result in the lower ventral strake hitting the ground?

Answer 2

8.8 degrees

Question 3

Scimitar Winglets

What is the maximum crosswind to ensure sufficient ground clearance using the “wing low” crosswind landing technique alone?

Answer 3

15 kts of crosswind

Question 4

Bonded Landing Recovery

On short final in your -800, sudden loss of airspeed occurs due to a -10 Kt gust. You add some thrust but the aircraft experiences a high, and hard bounce. At this point, what should you do?

Answer 4

Initiate a go-around. Apply go-around thrust and use normal go-around procedures.

Question 5

Bounce Landing Recovery

If you elect to try and “save” a bounce landing, what could occur?

Answer 5

A tail strike could occur. If hight-than-idle power is maintained through initial touchdown, automatic speed brake deployment may be disabled even with speed brakes are armed. During the resultant bounce, if thrust levers are retarded to idle, automatic speed brake deployment can occur. This will result in a loss of lift and nose-up pitching moment that can result in a tail strike or hard landing. Almost all tail strikes that occur during landing result in significant damage to the aircraft.

Question 6

Exiting The Runway

What is the maximum speed to exit via a high speed taxiway?

Answer 6

60 kts ground speed
