  1. Fly (or taxi) the airplane
  2. Captain will designate duties
  3. Choose Time or No Time bucket
35
Q

A
  1. Fire
  2. Smoke
  3. Security
36
Q

What is the lowest takeoff visibility allowed for the First Officer

A

RVR 1600 ft or greater
or
VIS 1/4 mile or greater

37
Q

No destination alternate is required if +/-1 hour of the ETA the weather reports or forecasts indicate:

A
  1. Ceiling at least 2000ft above airport elevation
  2. Visibility at least 3 statute miles
38
Q

Less restrictive alternate minimums apply for domestic operations only if +/-1 hour of the ETA the weather reports or forecasts indicate:

A
  1. Ceiling at least 1000 ft above airport elevation
  2. Visibility at least 3 statute miles
  3. Operations limited to CAT 1 approach only.

Additional restriction apply - see FOM 14.1.5.2.4

39
Q

Normal Go Around - PF
1. Five initial action items

  1. At 1000 ft . . .
A

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.

40
Q

V1 cut - PF
Describe what should be the first reaction of pilot.

What happens at:
@ 400 ft
@ 1000 ft
@ upon reaching flaps one speed

A
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

41
Q

Approach Windshear Procedure PF?
Recover from windshear recovery.

A
  1. “Windshear”
  2. CLICK, CLICK, PUSH, PUSH
    • click off the autopilot
    • click off the auto throttle
    • push the TOGA button
    • push the throttles to max power
  3. Raise the nose to 15 degrees and follow pitch guidance.
  4. TRY NOT TO USE a large degree of allowance because this will push up the spoiler runs/speed brakes

LISTEN FOR “u have guidance”

Wind shear recovery:

BIG PICTURE - REDUCE pitch, power and drag, arm auto throttles

  1. Reduce Power and pitch to 15 degrees
  2. flaps 15 so they are not oversped in the recovery.
  3. Positive rate – gear up
  4. Autothrottles arm then manage speed window. If it is closed leave it alone if open then 210 kts in the window should work well
  5. Above 1000ft - FRATS” - flaps 5, remain in TOGA, after takeoff checklist, “call tower”

PIREP

42
Q

Describe Windsheer on Takeoff event.

A
  1. 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”

  1. 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

  1. Reduce Power and pitch to 15 degrees
  2. At positive rate “Gear Up” if they aren’t already.
  3. At (or if already above) 1000 ft ask for VNAV
  4. Autothrottles arm then manage speed window. If it is closed leave it alone if open then 210 kts in the window should work well
  5. Above one thousand clean up flaps according to normal flaps schedule.

PIREP

43
Q

Single engine approach PF

A

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.
44
Q

PRM Approach Pilot Monitoring (PM) Actions for a “Traffic Alert”

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

45
Q

PRM approach Pilot Flying (PF) actions for a “Traffic Alert”

A

“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.

A
  1. Press VOR/LOC (if using ILS as underlying approach)
  2. 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.)
  3. Determine aircraft altitude with respect to glide slope
    a) if localizer will be intercepted below glide slope consider staying at current altitude
    b) if localizer intercept will occur above glide slope then go down using either V/S or LVL CHG or, if you are far enough away, set up LAVS
