Autoland
Only using flaps 30 or 40 and both engines operative.
Engine ignition must be on
Takeoff
Landing

Bleed only max 17,000 ft
Electrical only max 41,000 ft
APU bleed must be closed when
Ground air connected and isolation valve open
Engine no. 1 bleed valve open
Isolation and engine no. 2 bleed valve open
APU valve maybe open during engine start, but avoid above idle power
APU start

Alternate flap duty cycle
After moving the flaps in alternate allow 15 seconds to avoid damage to alternate flap motor clutch
After a complete cycle extend/retract allow 5 min cooling before attempting another try
