Q.5.17. When the APU is the only source of electrical power, what is the difference between load shedding on the ground and in flight?
On the ground, the APU attempts to carry a full electrical load. If an overload condition is sensed, the APU sheds galley busses and main busses until the load is within limits. In flight, all galley busses and main busses are automatically shed. Reference: FRM B737NG 7.4.2.7, FRM B737MAX 7.3.3.3
83
Q.5.18. Is engine shutdown required for flap area contamination removal?
Yes. Reference: AOM 15.1.10.1
84
Q.5.19. The MAX has two additional Alerts compared to the NG on the Engine Display per engine, what are the Alerts?
THRUST and FUEL FLOW. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.1.1.7
85
Q.5.20. In the MAX, what does the FUEL FLOW Alert indicate?
Illuminated (amber) - Steady - Engine fuel flow is abnormally high when compared to the FMC expected fuel flow. - Blinking - With fuel flow abnormally high, the alert and entire block will blink for 10 seconds and then the alert only will remain steady until the condition no longer exists. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.1.1.7, QRH 12.4

Illuminated (amber) Steady - The thrust is more than commanded thrust; or - The thrust is less than the commanded thrust. - Displayed in conjunction with amber N1 command sector for affected engine. Blinking - With a condition of more than or less than commanded thrust. The alert and entire block will blink for 10 seconds and then the alert will remain steady until the condition no longer exists. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.1.1.7, QRH 7.27
87
Q.5.22. In the MAX, what safety feature of the EEC protects against exceedance of engine design limits?
Electronic Overspeed System (EOS). Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.2.3.5
88
Q.5.23. In the MAX, what indication would you expect to see if the Electronic Overspeed System (EOS) activated?
The amber ENG FAIL alert illuminates. THRUST alert may or may not appear. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.2.3.5
89
Q.5.24. How does the EEC provide flameout protection?
An auto-relight capability is provided for flameout protection. Whenever the EEC detects an engine flameout, both igniters are activated. A flameout is detected when an uncommanded rapid decrease in N2 occurs, or N2 is below idle RPM. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.2.7.2.1, FRM B737NG 7.3.6.2.1
90
Q.5.25. In the NG, what does the REVERSER light indicate?

91
Q.5.26. The MAX has 3 different reverser amber lights on the Engine Panel. What does the REVERSER COMMAND light indicate?
Illuminated (amber) - The reverse thrust lever is not in the down position in flight. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.1.5
92
Q.5.27. What does illumination of the REVERSER AIR/GRD amber light indicate?
Illuminated (amber) - The air/ground thrust reverser logic has failed. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.1.5
93
Q.5.28. What does illumination of the REVERSER LIMITED amber light indicate?
Illuminated (amber) - - On the ground - A fault has occurred in the thrust reverser system - In flight - A fault in the thrust reverser system limits reverse thrust. Thrust reverser will not deploy or reverse thrust will be limited to idle. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.1.5
94
Q.5.29. In the NG, what does an illuminated MAINT light on the APU Control Panel indicate?
Illuminated (blue) - APU maintenance problem exists: - APU may be operated. - Light is disarmed when APU switch is OFF. Reference: FRM B737NG 7.2.5
95
Q.5.30. In the MAX, what does the DOOR light on the APU panel indicate when illuminated?
Illuminated (amber) - APU door is not in the commanded position: APU door is open when APU is shut down (in air or on ground). - In flight - door is not in flight position. - On ground - door is not in ground position. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.1.8
96
Q.5.31 You are on taxi out and you power up to start taxi and go back to idle, the number 2 engine does not decelerate back to idle. What could you expect to happen in a MAX?
The EEC commands an engine shut down through the TCMA function due to indicated thrust above the selected idle position. Reference: FRM B737MAX 7.2.3.4
97
Q.6.1. You have been cleared for takeoff; OAT is -2C with -SN. What resource can you find guidance on engine run-up requirements?
Deice/Anti-Ice Procedures Card or AOM 15.1.14 NOTE: NG A static 70% N1 run-up is required. A 30 second run-up is highly recommended whenever possible. MAX A 50% N1 run-up for 5 seconds is required within 5 minutes of takeoff or in conjunction with the takeoff. Reference: AOM 15.1.14, Deice/Anti-Ice Procedures Card
98
Q.6.2. What is the definition of “Icing Conditions?”
Icing conditions exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff, or TAT inflight is 10°C or below, and visible moisture in any form is present (e.g., clouds, fog with visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals). Icing conditions also exist when the OAT on the ground and for takeoff is 10°C or below when operating on ramps, taxiways, or runways where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engines or freeze on engines or nacelles. Reference: AOM 15.1.1
99
Q.6.3. After aircraft deicing, when is a Flight Deck Check required?
A Flight Deck Check must be performed any time a HOT is calculated or frozen precipitation is present. Note: This is directed during Step 8 of the Deice/ Anti-Ice Procedures Card. Reference: AOM 15.1.13.1 Deice/Anti-Ice Procedures Card
100
Q.6.4. After aircraft deicing, when is a Cabin Check required?
A Cabin Check is required when the holdover time is expired, heavy snow (+SN) is present, or the mixed icing conditions (that do not include moderate or heavy freezing rain, or hail) are not identified in the HOT app or FAA HOT tables. Note: This is directed during Step 8 of the Deice/ Anti-Ice Procedures Card. Reference: AOM 15.1.13.2, Deice/Anti-Ice Procedures Card
101
Q.6.5. Considering the three types of Deice/ Anti-Ice Methods, when would you use Deicing Only, One Step, or Two Step?
Deicing Only: The removal of frozen contamination (or removal Type IV fluid as indicated on WN-654) is required and the aircraft will remain free of contamination until takeoff. One-Step: Takeoff can be expected within the Type I fluid holdover time for the current/ forecast weather conditions and Type IV is not required. Two-Step: Current/ forecast weather conditions require the use of Type IV fluid or when Type I fluid holdover times are not sufficient. Reference: AOM 15.1.9, Deice/Anti-Ice Procedures Card
102
Q.6.6. How would you know if an Approach Climb Gradient is required to be programmed in the PWB Landing Input page?
When published on the approach chart, enter the most restrictive climb gradient of the planned runways. This gradient is applied to all LD DATA for requested runways. Reference: AOM 17.6, RNO JEPP 11-4 ILS X or LOC X Rwy 16R, MROC/SJO 11-1 ILS DME Z Rwy 07
103
Q.6.7. When an approach has a published missed approach climb gradient, what thrust setting is required during the missed approach?
If the missed approach has a published missed approach climb gradient, full go-around thrust must be used. Reference: AOM 11.5.2
104
Q.6.8. When is an exterior postflight inspection required?
When terminating an aircraft (Terminating Checklist is completed), except when at a maintenance base or maintenance station, unless Southwest Maintenance Personnel accept the responsibility Reference: AOM 14.1
105
Q.6.9. When releasing a terminating aircraft to a qualified Southwest Airlines Employee, can the Captain leave the aircraft before the passengers have fully deplaned?
No, when terminating an aircraft the Captain must perform a Cabin Check and ensure girt bars are stowed, no one is in the lavatories, and the emergency exit lights are off. Reference: AOM 14.0, FOM 13.5.1
106
Q.6.10. When terminating an aircraft, how can you determine if a station is, or is not, a Maintenance Base or Maintenance Station?
