or
VIS 1/4 mile or greater
No destination alternate is required if +/-1 hour of the ETA the weather reports or forecasts indicate:
- Ceiling at least 2000ft above airport elevation
- Visibility at least 3 statute miles
Less restrictive alternate minimums apply for domestic operations only if +/-1 hour of the ETA the weather reports or forecasts indicate:
- Ceiling at least 1000 ft above airport elevation
- Visibility at least 3 statute miles
- Operations limited to CAT 1 approach only.
Additional restriction apply - see FOM 14.1.5.2.4
Normal Go Around - PF
1. Five initial action items
- At 1000 ft . . .
Five Action Items
(Ensure autopilot and auto throttle are disconnected)
1. TOGA button - push
2. Power UP - push throttle forward
3. Pitch Up - pull nose up
4. Flaps Up (“Flaps 15”)
5. Gear Up (at positive rate)
PM “TOGA Verified”
“FRAT” (@ 1000 above runway elev)
1. FLAPS 5
2. REMAIN IN TOGA
3. AFTER TAKEOFF CHECKLIST
4. CALL THE TOWER.
5. With flaps five the speed bug should go to flaps five speed. If it doesn’t, open the speed window and enter 210 kts
NORMALLY DO NOT CALL FOR ANYTHING BEFORE 1000 FT.
DO NOT SELECT AUTOPILOT UNTIL AT GO AROUND ALTITUDE AND PITCH MODE SAYS “ALT HOLD”
DO NOT SELECT VNAV at 1000 ft - This takes the FMC out of TOGA Mode and the aircraft will pitch for climb speed as set in FMC (normally 250kts) but it is not desirable to climb at 250 knots after a go around.
V1 cut - PF
Describe what should be the first reaction of pilot.
What happens at:
@ 400 ft
@ 1000 ft
@ upon reaching flaps one speed
- Push in the rudder and hold it with a stiff leg to keep the aircraft going down the center of the runway. To change heading it is more like a pressure change of the foot rather than a movement.
- Pull up smoothly and firmly right up to the flight director cross bar.
At 400 ft
RAT- Runway Heading , Autothrottles off, Call Tower
At 1000 ft
BAT- Bug Flaps One, APU On, Trim (rudder)
Upon reaching Flaps one speed
LCAN
If at flaps 5 go to flaps 1 position
Level Change, Continuous Thrust, After Takeoff Checklist, Non Normal Checklist - engine failure or fire
At top of climb wait until you get to altitude and VNAV HOLD and then start bringing the power back to about 70% and trim up just a little bit because the nose has a tendency to go down.
Approach Windshear Procedure PF?
Recover from windshear recovery.
- “Windshear”
- CLICK, CLICK, PUSH, PUSH
- click off the autopilot
- click off the auto throttle
- push the TOGA button
- push the throttles to max power
- Raise the nose to 15 degrees and follow pitch guidance.
- TRY NOT TO USE a large degree of aileron because this will push up the spoiler runs/speed brakes
LISTEN FOR “u have guidance”
Wind shear recovery:
BIG PICTURE - follow go around procedure
- Reduce Power and pitch to 15 degrees
- flaps 15 so they are not oversped in the recovery.
- Positive rate – gear up
- Autothrottles arm then manage speed window. If it is closed leave it alone if open then 210 kts in the window should work well
- Above 1000ft - FRATS” - flaps 5, remain in TOGA, after takeoff checklist, “call tower”
PIREP to
Describe Windsheer on Takeoff event.
- Do the Click, Click, Push, Push steps.
- click off the autopilot
- click off the auto throttle
- push the TOGA button
- push the throttles forward to the stops
Pushing the TOGA switch again will not change anything.
pilot monitoring will say “YOU HAVE GUIDANCE”
- Fly the Flight director vertical guidance, maintain wings level. Don’t worry about following horizontal guidance.
Recovery
BIG PICTURE - REDUCE pitch, power and drag, arm auto throttles
- Reduce Power and pitch to 15 degrees
- At positive rate “Gear Up” if they aren’t already.
- At (or if already above) 1000 ft ask for VNAV
- Autothrottles arm then manage speed window. If it is closed leave it alone if open then 210 kts in the window should work well
- Above one thousand clean up flaps according to normal flaps schedule.
PIREP
Single engine approach PF
When APP is active and within one dot of G/S:
1. “Gear down”
2. “Flaps 15”
3. “Command bug”
4. “Before landing checklist”
- If flying without A/P and A/T keep the flight director dead in the center until short short final. Only glance up at the lights when the PM says runway lights available.
- Make very small corrections if not quite lined up on the runway. It is easy to overcorrect and start swerving back and forth.
PRM Approach Pilot Monitoring (PM) Actions for a “Traffic Alert”
A “traffic alert” call will be immediately followed by instructions with a heading and a climb or descend instruction. (very rarely is a descend instruction given)
The PM must:
1. Disconnect both Flight Directors
2. Set the breakout heading and altitude on the MCP
To reengage automation
1. FDs back on
2. Hdg Select - push on
3. VS - push on and set approx 1000ft/min climb
PRM approach Pilot Flying (PF) actions for a “Traffic Alert”
“Traffic Alert”
1. Disconnect A/P only. (not A/T)
2. Turn to specified heading (no more than 30 degrees bank)
3. Climb 10 degrees nose up
After PM has entered HDG, ALT and reengaged FDs:
1. Reconnect autopilot
2. Open speed window and put in 180kts
3. Ask for flaps 15
4. Positive Rate - “gear up”
5. Flaps 5 when airspeed allows.

- Press VOR/LOC (if using ILS as underlying approach)
- Put in FAF altitude (unless you are descending to just about to meet the altitude that is in the MCP window. In this case wait until you’ve gotten to that altitude it says altitude hold then put in the final approach fix.)
- Determine aircraft altitude with respect to glide slope
a) if localizer will be intercepted below glide slope consider staying at current altitude

FCTM 3.8.2
1. Maximum speed in the takeoff at which the pilot must take the first action.
2. Minimum speed in the takeoff, after the failure of an engine at which Pilot can continue the takeoff and achieve the required height above the takeoff surface within the takeoff distance
at what rate does the airplane slow down when you are in the airport environments and level flight?
approximately 10 kn for every mile
An RA (resolution Advisory) is a pitch only maneuver. True or False?

What does the the is the BAR+ fuel quantity used for?
It shows the amount of fuel at which the aircraft must leave the hold point in order to fly to destination airport or the alternate.
EG. BAR+ fuel is 10700 lbs
Fuel on board is 12000 lbs
Difference of 1300 lbs means there is 13 mins to use for in a hold (or vectoring)
What is the average fuel burn of the 737 NG?
6000 lbs/hour or 100lbs/minute.
What does HOLD AVAIL time mean on the hold page?
This assumes that we can fly the missed approach then come back and land (or go to the alternate) and still land with min fuel (3600 or 4000 lbs).
What does reserve fuel represent on the Perf Init page?
I represents reserve fuel at destination if there is no alternate. It will be 3600 or 4000. It will be a higher number if the dispatcher lists an alternate landing airport.
It does not include comfort fuel. You can add comfort fuel to the reserve fuel on the PERF INIT page if so desired
We normally fly NADP 2 (Noise Abatement Departure Procedure)
What is the difference in thrust reduction and selection of VNAV for an NADP 1 for thrust reduction and VNAV selection?
Thrust reduction will occur at 1500 ft instead of 1000 ft.
VNAV selection occurs at 3000 ft instead of 1000 feet.
