4 - Auto Flight Flashcards
When does FLARE engage during a dual channel approach
50 feet
Before what altitude must you select the second autopilot for a dual channel approach
800 feet
When you use CWS ROLL, within how many degrees will the AP return to lever flight when you release the controls
6 degrees
What does the AFS (Auto Flight System) consist of?
AFDS (Autopilot Flight Director System) and A/T (Auto Throttles)
If you engage the autopilot in CMD after take-off, what is the pitch mode it engages in
MCP SPD
When will LNAV auomatically disengage
When reaching a route discontinuity
What are the indications in the MCP Speed window if you select an overspeed or an underspeed
Underspeed: A prefix
Overspeed: 8 prefic
What is the minimum speed for MCP selection based on
Angle of attack 1.3Vs,
How much do you have to increase the MCP Speed in order to remove the underspeed symbol
15 kts
Which A/T modes permit manual movement of the Thrust Levers (with no reset)
ARM and THR HOLD
When does antenna switching from tail to nose antenna happen?
LOC frequency selected, and VOR/LOC armed or engaged
When will both APs disconnect in case of FLARE not being armed on a dual channel approach?
350 feet RA
How many FCCs does the plane have (Flight Control Computers)
2
What happens when you press the TO/GA switch once below 2,000 feet?
And the second time?
A/T advance thrust levers until the reduced G/A thrust limit, to produce around 1,000-2,000 FPM climb.
Second push gives you full G/A thrust
If you move the control column in pitch during ALT HLD what will happen
It will go into CWS P, but will go back to the selected altitude if released within 250’
