737 FM Flashcards
The first flight of the day checks are:
⚫️Fire control panel(s) check
⚫️Oxygen mask test
⚫️Trim and main trim cutout
⚫️Weather radar/PWS
⚫️Voice recorder
⚫️Flight deck door condition/access system
F.O.O.W.V.F.
Once in the airplane, when must you consult the MEL if you have MX issue?
PRIOR TO TAKEOFF,
if a non-normal checklist is accomplished or a non-normal situation is identified, after completion of the checklist, the Minimum Equipment List is consulted to determine if dispatch relief is available.
If an amber caution light illuminates during MASTER CAUTION recall, but
extinguishes after MASTER CAUTION reset, completion of the associated
checklist is _____________.
Prior to takeoff, notify ________ of redundant system
failure. If in flight, use normal maintenance discrepancy procedures.
not required.
TOMC
TEST BRIEFING
TEST:
⚫️Type of non-normal or emergency. Brief the non-normal condition and
whether an emergency has been declared.
⚫️Evacuation: prepare or don’t prepare for a possible evacuation.
⚫️Special instructions
⚫️Time until landing. An estimate should be given of the approximate flight
time until landing.
There are some situations where pilots will plan to land at the nearest suitable
airport. These situations include, but are not limited to, conditions where: (6)
• The non-normal checklist states Plan to land at the nearest suitable airport.
• Fire or smoke continues.
• An engine fails or is shut down to prevent possible damage.
• Only one AC power source remains (engine or APU generator).
• Only one hydraulic system remains (the standby system is considered a
hydraulic system).
• Any other situation determined by the pilots to have a significant adverse
effect on safety if the flight is continued.
For smoke that continues or a fire that cannot be positively confirmed to be
completely extinguished, the earliest possible descent, landing, and evacuation must be accomplished.
If engine oil quantity is low.
Do you automatically shut the engine?
There are no non-normal checklists for engine oil quantity and no minimum oil
quantity limit (no amber or red line limit). After engine start there are no inflight
operating limitations for the engine oil quantity; therefore, there are no pilot
procedures based solely on a response to low oil quantity
(Basically, no automatic engine shutdown, watch other parameters to make sure engine limits are not exceed.)

Straight: 30 knots
Turns: 10 knots
If difference between Final Weight Manifest CG value and TAKEOFF REF CG value exceeds______, request new takeoff data.
3%
(EO) ENGINE OUT ACCELERATION HEIGHTS Small changes in variables can affect the EO acceleration heights, which may be different from the acceleration heights published on the 10-7 pages or the ACARS Takeoff Data message.
Unless superseded by a 10-7 page note or an Ops Alert, use ________ FMC acceleration heights for the NADP-1 and NADP-2 departures and
when programming the VNAV CLB page for NADP-2 departures.
UPLINKED
FMC T/O pg.2
Takeoff Data:
Request new takeoff data when: (3)
- Using max thrust data and actual OAT is greater than TEMP
- Using reduced thrust and actual OAT is greater than ASSMD TMP
- Altimeter decreases by 1 hPa or .03 inches of mercury
Reduced Thrust Data:
If actual ____ is less than the printed value, use the 0-knot TW line or request new data. If actual ___ is more than the printed value, use the appropriate 5-knot or 10-knot TW line or request new data
Actual HW is < than printed
Actual TW > than printed
CAUTION:
VNAV shall not be armed on the ground if the engine failure
procedure for the takeoff runway contains conditions
requiring either of the following:
• The completion of a turn to a specified heading before
accelerating.
• Becoming established on a defined lateral course before
accelerating.
The above restriction does not apply if an engine failure
procedure only requires the initiation of a turn after takeoff
with subsequent acceleration at a specified engine-out
acceleration altitude.
When windshear conditions are possible, verify weather radar is displayed by _____________________.
Otherwise, PWS alerts may be unavailable until ____seconds after takeoff thrust application. The terrain display pop-up feature is still available if both pilots have weather radar displayed.
at least one pilot
12 seconds
Engine surge can occur with a strong crosswind or tailwind component if takeoff thrust is set before brake release. Therefore, the rolling takeoff procedure is strongly advised when crosswinds exceed________ or
tailwinds exceed_______.
20 knots
5 knots
When the aircraft is below ______ feet RA, full GA N1 can be determined by pushing a TO/GA switch a second time. This will set the reference N1 bugs for full GA thrust.
800 RA
Gusty Wind and/or Strong Crosswind Conditions
The use of this procedure should be based on the current weather
conditions and is at the discretion of the Captain.
• Use maximum takeoff thrust. Max thrust is selected by selecting N1 LIMIT
page and deleting SEL (assumed temperature) (1L).
• Use flaps 5 unless limited by obstacle clearance and/or climb gradient.
• Verify/set V-speeds.
If required, manually enter V-speeds. If Sabre returned a reduced thrust
solution, use the reduced thrust V-speeds to help minimize the gap between
V1 and VR. United Performance Engineering has authorized the use of
reduced thrust V-speeds as the aircraft will accelerate to those speeds earlier
during the takeoff roll using maximum thrust.
• Use VR MAX for increased airspeed at rotation.
Reduced thrust takeoffs are not authorized when:
• Gusty winds and/or strong crosswinds.
• Reported or suspected windshear.
• Snow, slush, or standing water penalty applied.
• MEL/CDL restriction prohibits use (Anti-Skid INOP, EEC in ALT mode)
• Maintenance Release Document (MRD) displays message stating MAX
THRUST TAKEOFF DUE (in this case, the first flight of the day should be
accomplished as a full rated takeoff).
CLIMB
The maximum bank angle after takeoff will be ____ degrees until reaching ______.
At an airspeed of V2+15 and above, bank angles of 30 degrees are allowable.
15 degrees
V2+15
The L2 method VNAV climb procedure:
How to set up? How/when will it accelerate? When would you use it?
(preflight entry of VM 0 [VREF 40+70]
on the TGT SPD line L2) will cause AFDS to command a smooth increase from
V2+20 to VM 0 upon selection of VNAV. When an acceleration is desired to above VM 0 select ECON on the CLIMB page.
Use when departing near terrain, departing in the opposite direction of your route or speed restrictions are present on SID
The L3 method VNAV climb procedure.
How to set up? How/when will it accelerate? When would you use it?
(preflight entry of VM 0 [VREF
40+70]/3000 feet AFE on the SPD REST line L3, and 250 knots on the TGT SPD line L2) will cause the AFDS to command a smooth increase from V2+20 to VM 0 upon selection of VNAV and from VM 0 to 250 knots at 3000 feet AFE. Upon reaching an altitude where the pilot wishes to accelerate to the scheduled climb speed (normally 10,000 MSL) select ECON on the CLIMB page.
Most common VNAV departure procedure.
Use when standard acceleration is desired.
The flap retraction altitude is no lower than ______ feet AFE for NADP-1
or _____ feet AFE for NADP-2 noise abatement profiles. Higher acceleration altitudes may be displayed on the ACARS Takeoff Data message.
3000 AFE (NADP-1)
800 AFE (NADP-2)
WARNING:
VNAV is the recommended pitch mode above _________.
Improper use of other pitch modes has resulted in undesired
aircraft states.
FL 250
For operations other than LNAV, when operating at or near maximum altitude,
fly at least ______ above the lower amber band and use bank angles of _____ or
less.
10 knots
