Q

If a nonstandard climb gradient is entered on the Takeoff Conditions page, does the PWB Takeoff Data Uplink load the required Climb power option (e.g. CLB or CLB 1) on the N1 LIMIT page?

A

No, they do not auto-populate. Manually select the climb thrust setting specified on the PWB runway-specific TAKEOFF DATA page (i.e. CLB or CLB-1) if the FMC calculated climb thrust setting does not meet or exceed the requirement. This ensures takeoff performance will meet or exceed the required climb gradient.

Q

With windshear present, what landing flap setting is recommended unless a different setting is required by the PWB?

A

30

72
Q

What is the approximate percentage of tail strikes occurring during landing?

A

70%, many of these tail strikes occur during a bounced landing recovery attempt.

73
Q

The biggest cause of tail strikes is an unstablized approach. What other factors may cause a tail strike during landing?

A

-Holding off in the flare
-Trimming in the flare
-Mishandling of crosswinds
-Over-rotation during go-around
NOTE: Tail strikes occurring during landing result in significan damage to the aircraft.

74
Q

What can increase the risk of a bounced landing?

A

Maintaining a higher-than-idle power through initial touchdown.

75
Q

What action should you take after a high, hard bounced landing?

A

Initiate a go-around.

76
Q

When is a go-around no longer an option?

A

When the thrust reverser levers are raised.

77
Q

What five actions during a landing and rollout invalidate the PWB stoping margin?

A
  • Landing beyond the 1500 ft from the end of the runway
  • Speedbrake does not extend
  • Aerodynamic braking(Holding the nose off the runway)
  • Selecting reverse thrust greater than 2 seconds after touchdown.
  • Not attaining the planned reverse thrust level within 8 seconds after touchdown.
78
Q

What impact does overriding the autobrake system have on brake effectiveness?

A

Manual override of the autobrake system causes the antiskid system to readjust for optimum brake pressure; This readjustment momentarily reduces brake effectiveness.

79
Q

When is a flaps 40 landing recommended?

A

When the runway condition (RCC) is 3-MED of less.

80
Q

What flap setting is recommended for overweight landings?

A

Flaps 30, which provides an increased margin to flap placard speed.

The MLAs function is the same as the 700s, it reduces wing and aft fuselage bending loads during certain maneuvers and normal load factors.

142
Q

What is the purpose of the Landing Attitude Modifier?

A
  • With flaps 15 through 30 and thrust levers near idle, the LAM deploys the spoilers to generate additional drag.
  • With flaps in the 30 and 40 position, the spoilers deploy symmetrically on approach to reduce lift and increase the AOA, maintaining an acceptable nose gear contact margin.
143
Q

What is the emergency descent speedbrakes?

A

The EDS is armed when the aircraft is above 30,000 ft and the cabin altitude warning is active. It deploys the speedbrakes to a higher than normal position when the speedbrake lever is in the flight detent to minimize time at altitude during an emergency descent.
